I had to vote for Louis Tully. I absolutely hate him! Obviously I hated him in GB2 but I also hate him because he has a whinny voice and is just so damn pointless. Wow Mr Moranis did too good a job for you creating the annoying character. I personally dislike the JGB. Why because I was looking upwards to the adults by that time! Kids in my age were just other ...kids. They weren't cooler as me! I was teached by my parents that certain stuff in the adult world shouldn't be done by children. And what do you know, I understood! So I never burnt my hand in the chimney trying to make a fire, never drilled through my palm etc. Because the warnings made sense to me. So it was even more painful to watch kids like me do all the stuff they were forbidden! Did these kids even had parents? I don't recall that!

I used to hate Louis with a passion too...but as a writer, it's my job to get inside character's heads and see things their way. When I started to actually do that with Louis, , I found a lot of sympathy build up for him. I hope you'll take a look at stories such as Hearts In Eclipse and Chronicles of Gozer. You might get a new perspective on him. He'll never be my favorite, but I just don't completely loathe him anymore.

I don't think I ever ID'd with the JGB's but I never outright hated them either. Since I grew up in the midst of the dumbing down of Saturday morning TV, I cut them a lot of slack. Given some better usage, they probably could have been neighborhood kids who occasionally hung around the Firehouse and BS'd with Winston and Ray or Peter on occasion rather than the roles they were written into.
And Fritz, I completely understand about getting into characters heads and seeing things their way. A fanfic I ended up abandoning featured the JGB's as thirty-something adults which was kind of depressing, since the main idea was to see them in some jobs they weren't really happy in while watching Ghostbusters franchises pop up left and right. I think why I stopped was because I didn't like the direction I was going in with it. Maybe I'll get back to it eventually one day.

As a kid I watched Filmation's GB before I saw RGB and then it was like bye bye and I switched to RGB. I've only watched a couple of eps of Filmation's recently to refresh my memory, but oh man is it bad! When they bust ghosts you just see the ghost's eyes floating back to their hideout and they're back in the following ep. Sounds like the arcade/video game Pacman! Filmation's version really had floating eyes? I find all choices equally annoying for respective reasons. I'd count the ways, if I weren't so tired coming back from a concert.

Since they are somehow part of the canon, they also deserve stories. And I have to say that I too understand Fritz' point. You just can't deny a character because you don't like him. It's like friggin' Jar Jar! Because of him everyone hates the Gungans. But if you look at them and don't think of Jar Jar you actually get a pretty decent society of warriors.

I've always felt sorry for Louis, especially after seeing the way some E/J shippers treat him. None of it was his fault - and in terms of our fanfic universe round here, all he ever did was try to make Janine happy. Do you know, I'm going to quote one of my own stories now, egotistical me:
That was about Andre and Dana, but it can equally apply to Janine and Louis, I think. Am I in trouble now? Well, this is my opinion. Poor guy.
I don't seem to have voted here, and I know why.
Professor Dweeb: pretty sure I never encountered him
Junior Ghostbusters: have absolutely no memory of them
Extreme Ghostbusters: not gonna spell it out
Filmation Ghostbusters: never saw it, and that hardly seems fair, they were absolutely nothing to do with any of this (that it came first works in its favour, but it wouldn't matter to me if it didn't)
Louis Tully: as well as feeling sorry for him, I enjoy him in the movies - he makes me laugh; I have only a vague recollection of him in the cartoon, and I seem to remember I didn't like him much then, but I wouldn't feel right in voting for him
Who sucks most? Elaine Fuhrman (ditz) and Persephonethius of the EGB episode "Mole People" (she is such a whiner).

There's just some characters I can't get around hating. Minmei fron Robotech and Kikiyo on Inuyasha are just two others I hate with unbridled passion.
