Could a female remake of American Psycho like Ghostbusters or Lord of the Flies work?

Could a female remake of American Psycho like Ghostbusters or Lord of the Flies work?

What's the point? All females are psychopaths.

No because Bateman had to overpower some of his victims.

Isn't the female American Psycho just Basic Instinct?

They already did it

They did, it's called The Neon Demon.

>implying

yep and is garbage

fpbp

It could work in exactly the same way as those two work(ed).

but I thought women were all overly emotional and easy to manipulate

To be honest the characterisation of Patrick (obsessed with his appearance, keeping up his elaborate morning beauty routine, clamouring for recognition from friends he actually hates, has sudden emotional outbursts when feeling inferior socially) is more feminine than masculine already, you wouldn't really need to change the script that much.

They already made a female sequal with Mila Kunis

>lord of the flies
t-thanks for reminding me.

I'd argue that they're not psychopaths, but suffer from autism. Hence why it's harder to detect autism in girls because most women display signs of autism.

I mean a big component was typical male competition even down to being jealous of a fuckin business card. Not many woman behave that way.

ok im baiting.

that's not mila kunis.

are you happy now? you gigantic waste of space?

>women don't get jealous
Ok, maybe they do for other things that don't make for an interesting story. Funny how American Psycho was directed by a woman tho.

Yeah but it wouldn't be funny at all, t would just be women acting like bitches like they do in real life, that's part of the appeal of the movie.

On the contrary, its that dont do it, american psycho is sci fi

Are you retarded? Have you ever even met a woman in real life?

This. Bateman is the most psychologically feminine male character ever made.

I don't think you understood the movie, brainlet.

Read the credits, you drooling retard. Literally on the poster in the image you're replying to, you insufferably stupid twat. Fucking braindead cunt.

Lol

Probably the most idiotic post I've read all day. How can you not get American Psycho?

Did a female remake of Ghostbusters or Lord of the Flies work?

If you think that's a male thing you might actually be a faggot.

Psycho worked because of the absurdity of a powerful and rich man acting like a petty woman.

>women aren't competitive with each other

have you ever been outside?

it's literally a male thing have you never been in a society?

Why are women just that much more attractive if they've committed a serious, violent crime? Honestly, even if I see a woman bully another woman she instantly becomes sexier.

female sociopaths usually get men to do their dirty work. That's why most girls are attracted to 'bad boys' - it's like having a pitbull you can sick on people

>being jealous
>Not many woman behave that way.
uh, women are equal to if not more equal than men. you're being sexist desu and that's problematic of a systematic oppression that you've internalized. I'll be offended on your behalf, you poor, marginalized victim, you

It won't work because they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from making the woman justified in some way, at the expense of a male character.

A male protagonist is an individual.

A female protagonist represents all women.

Men dont really cimpete with their clothing, women do

>Patrick Bateman was not jealous of Paul Allen's business card
Your post is the epitome of pic related

no, because American Psycho was very much about masculinity. A female version would have to deconstruct femininity, which is not tolerable in the current year.

will this scene make it into the movie?

t. Soy

Are you pretending to be retarded? How can you think that that's what the post implied? That's not what is idiotic about your post, it's that you think that's a male thing.

kek no you are just a faggot. Go back to your queer cocksucker friends to show off your expensive shoes and desginer clothes, fag. You totally missed the point of the movie.

It wasn't my post, brainlet.

This is completely wrong, autism is the ultra-male brain, any femininity and it's not going to be autism. Autism is believed to be caused by the baby receiving too much testosterone in the womb when developing so it short circuits the brain at that level.

Sure it wasn't.

i wonder who's on denial here. the male society is built up on jealousy and overpowering the people you're jealous of, basic tribalism

Gone Girl

Femanon here. Female sociopaths always, ALWAYS make up part of triad.

You have the dominant sociopathic leader, a sniveling lieutenant (who suffers from BPS), and an omega whose sole function in the group is to be an object of abuse.

For any film about a female sociopath to be realistic, the film makers must include this dynamic.

Female psychos don't work the same way. They're more like that main character of Gone Girl. Manipulative and insidious. Also they often influence others to kill rather than doing it themselves.

top kek

It's called Gone Girl

we don't mention that "movie" around here.

Underrated post

I think it could work really well.

>she gets extremely jealous like Bateman
>she uses her feminine wiles to bring over men looking for sex and then kills him
>she could undress while talking about something she really loves, and the guy wouldn't notice the paper, or the plastic coat
>constantly working out to keep her body beautiful to entrance men
>coworker comes onto her in bathroom
>she never listens to the other women so she never truly knows if she killed a certain someone

>GUYS LISTEN TO MY IDEA
>SO IT'S AN EXISTING MOVIE, BUT WITH A FEMALE
It was already destined to be trash from this "idea"

sure, but it wouldn't be one to one, so why make it a remake at all?

It doesn't work because all females have sociopathic traits, so it won't be as interesting, it will be just a regular woman murdering people.

Yeah I started noticing that when I was typing, but I was too far gone.

Women's jealousy makes your average man look like a Buddhist monk in comparison.

They did that in the sequel and it bombed.

What? This isn't some new meme?

>women don't get jealous over petty things
holy shit

You are retarded if you think that's a purely male trait. It's not male society that is built up like that, it's all society.
