How Frozen Empire technically freed Gozer.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’s ending, Phoebe’s ghost friend Melody helps Garraka escape by using Phoebe to recite a ritual chant while she is astral projecting. Melody eventually redeems herself when she turns on Garraka and helps the Ghostbusters, earning her passage into the afterlife as a result. The thing is, Garraka breaks the team’s containment unit before the villain is defeated, and the Ghostbusters spend the end of the movie searching for the escaped ghouls.
As such, it is possible that the Ghostbusters were able to recapture Gozer without coming as close to an apocalypse as last time. The fact that Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’s mid-credits scene focuses on the Mini-Pufts rather than Gozer proves that the demon's return wasn’t as big an issue for the team as Gozer proved in the climax of the original Ghostbusters. This fits with Gozer’s depiction in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, where the veteran members of the team knew how to defeat her.
After all, Winston’s new containment unit would presumably have been used to house the most dangerous entities first. As such, Gozer might have been moved to Winston’s facility before Slimer or the Mini-Pufts, meaning she may not even have gotten out in the sequel’s ending. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire needed to drop Gozer to help ensure that the franchise wasn’t always looking back to the past, so not bringing her back after Garraka’s defeat was a canny decision.
