Like my recent "remix" of Ghostbusters.nuts #6, here's a new version of GBNuts#20, which Kingpin first put up last year:

"Peter You've Changed"

Compare to the earlier version:
[link]

It's basically a satiric look at the changes made to the character of Peter Venkman between Seasons 1 and 2 of the cartoon, where Lorenzo Music and his laid back, sarcastic, Slimer-hating character was replaced with a toned down, Slimer-buddying version who was both written thirty IQ points dumber and certainly sounded the part due to Dave Coulier's lame Bill Murray impersonation.

Like Venkman, the character of Janine was similarly lobotomized--but her changes were explained in the series with the last brilliant episode of the show (not the last episode, just the last brilliant one) "Janine You've Changed". Thus the title of this joking explaination of what happened to Venkman...

Slimer trying to use voodoo on Peter. You got to admit, it makes the plots of many of the later season episodes of RGB actually make sense. Not that I am criticizing you. My favorite fan fics by you include Return of the Jersey Turnpike and that one where the Makeoverus Lotsabucks told her tale to the Boogieman before getting eaten. I can tell you also wanted to do that to Karro-Zans, Sammy K. Ferret, and the other villains from that season. I'm adding this to my faves just because it is hilarious!

Just for the interest of full disclosure, the Lotsabucks story you mention, "The Eyes Have Her", was written by Ghostdiva. I just hosted it at the Ectozone after the site it was at went under.

I have read other cool GB fan fics. I once read an Extreme Ghostbusters fan fic where they extracted Siren from the Containment Unit. While we do have different ideas, we do think alike in some areas, like Janine and Egon forever, and the kickass Peoplebusters. I even made up some names for the Peoplebusters, with my own ideas for the other PB counterparts- Egon Slimer, Creeper Venkman, Slay Stantz, Winston Zeddegore(I picture Flip-Winston as looking like a purple demon with red eyes. He's also one of the few PB counterparts I made up where I am actually proud of the name I came up with), Slobber(fat human with green hair and messy clothes), Janine Morbid, Louis Terror(like Egon and Janine, is skeletal in appearance), and I also came up with a flip version of Stay Puft, but I haven't come up with a good name. For the Extreme Peoplebusters, I came up with Eduardo Reaper(like zombie-Eddy from Fear Itself, but more creepy-looking and disheveled), Kylie Grisly(Kylie with a manic grin and an eye hanging from the socket), Garish Miller(Garrett as a gray skeleton in a wheelchair), and Roland Axe-hand(like Winston Zeddegore, except he has axes for hands and as such has his slime gun tied to his wrist). I also liked your work so much, your character has made a couple of cameos in my comics(though the first one is pretty ridiculous). If you want to know how my first comic featuring you is ridiculous, I'll tell you this much: It's not always a good idea to get inspiration for stories from your dreams.

I hate what they did to Janine more.

Me too, but for some reason, I always ignore the changes they made. The Junior Ghostbusters weren't really a good idea, but it's not exactly a bad idea to tell children that they can be Ghostbusters too without proton packs, traps, and a Containment Unit.

I can pretty much live with most of the changes, except what they did to Janine and the stupid Slimer cartoons. Well, that and I think many of the stories weren't as dramatic and well-written later on because they focused too much on dumbing it down for a younger audience range than it was originally directed at.

At least they still pointed out that ghosts are dead people. I also wasn't a fan of what they did to Janine, but I often ignored it. I really did prefer the version of her in the first two seasons of the show and the only season of XGB. As for Slimer shorts, they weren't too good, but I liked at least one- Don't Tease the Sleaze. Hey, if thinking that slug-like ghosts that are disgusting and talk like hillbillies are funny is wrong, I'd hate to be right. I liked your version of Dweeb. The way I saw it, maybe his last name really was Dweeb and his unfortunate surname made him the subject of ridicule all his life. Question: What RPG adventure did Nick Calmerro come from? The fan fics say he is from the West End RPG of Ghostbusters, but I have not been able to find any RPG adventure featuring him.

I watched some commentary from the Real Ghostbusters complete series DVD collection that claims they were not allowed to have their ghosts be the spirits of people (they showed a human version of Slimer during the commentary and said they would have explored who Slimer used to be as a person but the network wouldn't let them), but you're right because I remember episodes that clearly pointed out some good spirits that were said to be people and sometimes would actually show them as alive in flash backs. I'm speaking primarily of the episode that Ray stops the ghost man who's being driven all over the countryside by his ghost horse while being chased by another ghost and cannot stop the endless cycle every night. A focused repeater attached to it's local haunt, in this instance being a town's entire countryside. That and I remember an episode where this person's grandfather or uncle or etc is haunting his old mansion and the Ghostbusters are called in to make him leave but it is discovered there is are trouble making non-human ghosts he is warning about. So, very interesting, you're right.

I'm not sure personally where Nick Calmerro is from. Make sure you make another comment directed at Ectozone if you haven't yet. He might know better than me.
