Ghostbusters 2016 (And its Controversy)

[Hiynastrike]

Question: out of all the negative archetypes they could have picked for Chris Hemsworth... Why 1950's starry eyed housewife? Like the original secretary was a smart woman who was humorously annoyed by the team's scientific antics mixed with prank calls, she comes off as a good character. Chris' character just seems like a random generation of "dreamy made man" plus "aforementioned housewife" like was it hard to make him a "cute but clumsy oaf like a Jimmy Olsen?"
