why is it Winston is missing from almost everything? i dont get it?

Winston barely has any parts just for him in the movies, no big snappy lines, and is not even noticed by most of the general public, except maybe as “the black guy”. it feels im the only one thats learned how to spell Zeddemore correctly!

is there something about Winston that i didnt quite seem to catch? what makes him any different that he shouldnt noticed enough to put him on the damn GB2 DVD cover, or have his head sculpted to fit on a GI Joe?

yeah, so what if he came later in GB1? does that matter? hes a Ghostbuster. he may not have any PhD's in anything, and he may not be all up on science, but hes a Ghostbuster none the less, right? Im sorry, but i just dont feel Winston should be excluded as a GB just because of his timing in GB1.

thats my thought, and im sticking by it!

Well, it could be due to the fact that he simply isn't as funny as the other GBs. He's there to assist the team and explain the scientific stuff to the audience…

Winston saved Ray and Egon from a fire in GB2.

Winston had his own episodes (Follow that Hearse and one about baseball are two I remember)as well he got to wear the slime thrower in GB2 and got to use it for the final battle (after Ray was possesed by Vigo)

Even though Winston's role slightly (very) improved in GB2, he still should have been more involved in the movie. And why isn't he on the cover of the DVD? That's just plain disrespect.

He isn't? That sucks.

What REALLY pisses me off is the preview channel calls Ghostbusters: “3 Paranormal investigators/eliminators go into business.”

THREE?!?! They musta missed Kindergarden or only saw half the movie, not even half! More like 30 minutes. Worst channel ever!

the point im making here, is Winston is excluded on discriptions all over the damn place! its just plain irritating! a man as great as Winston should be as well noticed as the others. hell, Louis gets more attention than him! now, thats a hit below the belt!

well, at least hes on the new gb1 dvd cover, because thats the main one. one thing to complain about

Winston is my second favorite GB, so I know where you're coming from. He may not have had a major role in the films, but think of all the classic one-liners he had in RGB. smile

“Murray, Aykroyd, & Ramis? Sound like some sort of law firm.”

Still gets me to this day. wink

Winston is definetly underrated. Screw the Real Ghostbusters (no disrespect) but that wasn't Ernie Hudson. By the way, I can't remember when he says “What about the packs?! WHAT ABOUT THE PACKS?!” in GBII.
