Character Role Analysis

Egon to Peter

We've already touched on this here, but it's worth pointing out again just how different our Ghostbusters are. Egon is super intellectual, while it seems like Peter never cracked a book.

Where Egon is totally logical, Peter constantly acts on impulse. While Peter is constantly looking to get laid, Egon barely notices when Janine is flirting with him. Ray and Winston fit somewhere in between the two, but Peter and Egon are definitely the extremes ends of the Ghostbusters.
