You want to see that. The loveable loser who has to do a grim task that they dont want any part of but have to do because its the right thing and they're the only ones who can do it.

The problem being, they did that to absolute perfection in the first one. Doing it again would only lead to disappointment because nothing could live up to it.
This new one pays respect to it and tries to add to it in a fun way and they succeeded. It was really the only way to do a sequel to a movie this highly regarded.
That said, I could see a Ghostbusters TV series with that premise working if the casting was done well. A monster-of-the-week type series with an overarching story for the season.
