[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Ghostbusters: Afterlife?

Look, I wanted to love Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
