Extreme Ghostbusters/Tropes

* Action Prologue: The film starts with the original Ghostbusters exiling Achira.
* Adaptational Badass:
** Achira in the film absorbs her victims' life force througth her illness, which increases her power.
** The new Ghostbusters have much more equipment than the Proton Packs in the film.
* Adaptation Expansion: The film is an extended version of the pilot version of the Extreme Ghistbusters series.
* Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Most of the new Ghostbusters had met with each other before the evebts of the film in this incarnation.
* Adapted Out: Aside from a prologue, the original Ghostbusters are all absent from the film.
* Badass Boast: As Egon did in the game, Kylie claims that the new Ghostbusters "eat good for breakfast".
* Blasphemous Boast: By the end of the film, Achira sees calls herself an all-powerful deity.
* Broad Stokes: The film is intended to be set in its own continutity, separate from both the films and animated shows, while also establishing that the original Ghostbusters team once existed.
* Darker And Edgier: As with the original Extreme Ghostbusters, the film takes a much darker tone than the rest of the franchise, even if the humor is still in there.
* Dare to Be Badass: As the team sets off to face Achira in the climax, Kylie makes clear she's not afraid of her even with her newfound strength by uttering one of the most iconic lines in the franchise: "Well, I ain't 'fraid of no ghost".
* Funny Moments: While trying to flirt with Kylie, Eduardo trues to convince her to leave the Ghostbusters Fan Club by saying "Let me tell you something. That's not the place for you. Whoever's leading that club is either a dumbass or a wacko", to which Kylie says she would not allow him to say that because "[she is] not one to let people embarass themselves in public". As it turns out, she is the leader.
* Heartwarming Moments:
** The reason Kylie admires the Ghostbusters? Them proving the afterlife exists gave her hope of seeing her grandmother again.
** After defeating Achira, the group is asked by the media who they are. Kylie's response? "We're the Ghostbusters". Simple yet said full of passion. And, since they just defeated an all-powerful ghost, the title definetly feels earned.
* Lampshade Hanging: The Arbitrary Skepticism found in the franchise gets lampshaded when Ronaldo asks Kylie if she really believes the Ghostbusters weren't scammers, to which she responds "A 100-foot marshmellow man showed up out of nowhere and went on a hike througth Manhattan. And you think is all a scam?".
* Mythology Gag:
** The original Ghostbusters are modeled after their potrayals in The Real Ghostbusters.
** Several of the gadgets created by the new Ghostbusters are reminiscent of the equipment used by the 2016 incarnation of the team.
** Achira occasionally mocks the new Ghostbusters by claiming they are not "the real ghostbusters".
** During a history class, Winston's name is accidentally mispelled as "Zeddmore", to which Kylie and Garrett correct. This is a reference to how his surname was mispelled in The Real Ghostbusters.
* Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: The whole reason Achira returns to Earth is because Kylie used the ghost signal in hopes of talking to her grandma.
* The Other Darrin: Eric Bauza takes over the voice role for Peter Venkman from Bill Murray, the late Lorenzo Music, and the unpopular Dave Coulier.
* Role Reprise: Arsenio Hall, Maurice LaMarche, and Frank Welker reprise their roles from The Real Ghostbusters as Winston, Egon, and Ray.
* Shout-Out: The way Achira releases her offsprings imitates how Starro created its offshots in The Suicide Squad.
* Spotting the Thread: Kylie realizes Achira isn't her grandmother when she struggles to refer to her and uses her real name instead of the nickname she used for her.
* Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As in the original Extreme Ghostbusters, Achira attempts to posess Kylie by pretending to be her grandmother. However, she never knew her grandmother, so her act quickly falls apart.
* Tempting Fate: Ronaldo, in a failed attempt to flirt with Kylie, calls idiot or insane the leader of the Ghostbusters Fan Club. Who just so happens to be Kylie.
