What the ConEd guy probably should have done was stood his ground and refused to shut it all off, given his unfamiliarity with the equipment it was powering and reticence to do it.
If anything, the secondary villain in
Ghostbusters is
Venkman.
Walter Peck is an antagonist to our protagonists, but his actions are justifiable. I loved the Peter Venkman character when I was younger, he was by far my favourite Ghostbuster, but as I got older I realized he's not a good guy. He's a sleazeball, really. Peck became a belligerent ###hole, but only after Venkman gave him the run-around; otherwise Peck did nothing wrong!
