I don't want to steal Vegita-San's thunder here, but how can you use feminism to justify the actions of one of the great villains of literature and film? She's a sociopath who is supposed to be a symbol of the corrupting influence of power in a brutal culture. Does making an adaptation of her story in [the current year] change that?

So are they going to keep part where Mac permanently damages her vocal cords in this version? I don't really get the "feminist tale" angle they mentioned, as that would require making her... Likeable. Which kind of hard to pull off, given the lobotomy and all the other horrible things she does. It could so easily come across as either anti-feminist or as pro-feminist in a really disturbing way, neither of which is going to be taken lightly.

I find that Nurse from Cuckoo's Nest to be so unlikeable.
How are they gonna make her a main protagonist?
