I think that’s the right take. The original movies had the straight guy, goofy guy, deadpan guy, and regular guy. You could get the wrong energy from an new all male cast too, like casting Chris Farley, David Spade, Adam Sandler, and Martin Lawrance together - it would be just too much of the same kind of comedic vibe.
What was wrong with the women they cast? Good comedy actors. I get SNL isn’t for everyone, but they all have talents that exceed that show.
They’re great actresses for sure.
But they didn’t have the right energy for it imo.
Not the right choices for Ghostbusters of all things. There’s different types of comedy and they didn’t have the right type for it.

Is Peter the straight guy, Ray the goofy guy, Egon the deadpan guy, and Winston the regular guy?
