Okay spoilers just because it Ruins a pretty major plot point. So, Watched Frozen Empire a couple weeks back and can't get Pheobe's choice to ghost walk out of my head. Like, what was the point? She had no reason to do it, there wasn't even really discussion before hand just, "LOL YOLO!" IDK it just felt kind of forced in there to move the plot forward. Am I the only one who feels this way or am I just being Stan Marsh complaining about movies right now?

This is what happens when you don't have solid friends you talk to about your desire to perform trepanation ghost walking.
I'm not disagreeing at all, it was a very foolish move and it felt really awkward for other reasons, but foolish kids do foolish things, and sometimes the smartest ones do the dumbest things. And as I said, doing a dumb but scientifically plausible thing runs in the Spengler family. It further highlighted Phoebe's need for family and friends and for a little humility that just because she's the smartest cookie in the room doesn't mean she's immune from being crumbled.
But yeah... while thematically it can fit, it still was hustled along as a thing.
Also don't forget, in Afterlife she powered on a proton pack and pointed a thrower at the chief of police because he made her mad. In FE, she evidently said something that pissed off Peck enough to where she was not allowed to be a ghostbuster anymore. She's done some extreme things in the heat of the moment, so it somewhat doesn't surprise me based on things she's done before.
Absolutely. She's many of the things Egon was mixed with somewhat temperamental child (not said as a dig, because we all could be temperamental children at that age). FE she was really feeling her teenage oats.
