Could Beauty and the Beast work if you reversed the genders? Would anything else have to be changed?
>>146747547>Could Beauty and the Beast work if you reversed the genders?Only in horror theme
>>146747547People would only want a sanitized and superficial version of this. The Beast is supposed to be a visual metaphor for selfishness and wrath, and nobody would want to see a girl act like that. Like in this image for instance, the Beast is small and has no monstrous presence.
>>146747547hollywood and media in general is scared of stories where a handsome man falls in love with a conventionally unattractive woman despite her looks and actually loving her for her
>>146748152This. Beast was intentionally designed to look like a proper monster but just cute enough to give hints that there's hope. FemBeast would require a different approach.
>>146747547Best case scenario, she'd look like this.
>big, dumb, tomboy Gastonnope
>>146747547The female beast would need to embody the bad traits of women for the story to work right. Instead of dominating and a terrible temper, she would need to be manipulative and use her emotions to trap him instead of brute force. A snake or a spider would probably be a good visual indicator of this the way a muscular beast represents masculinity.
>>146747547Yes.Side note, she's too small here.
>>146748169That happens in chick flicks. Older women get younger men, fat women get fit men, like women get rich men, etc. Movies for men aren't going to sell you a good looking guy falling for an uggo who knows a lot about box board games so they get each other on a fundamental level and love each other deeply. But they could if someone made one good enough to make money.
Reminds me that theres an actual genderbent Twilight Saga by the same author and its about a sullen teen being chased by hot vampire and a tomboy, native american werewolf girl and so on.
On the one hand: cute puppy princess.
On the other....
>>146749093Source brother?
>>146748644But how would the man turn the beast for the better?
>>146749387Make an honest woman of her, literally?
>>146749098Dog women are pretty much perfection honestly. The loyalty and loving nature of a dog combined with an attractive woman. It's the apex.
>>146747547Really? This thread again?
>>146749658Everything on the internet now is just an excuse for people to fetishize women being assholes and men being the weaker, heckin' wholesome husbando who gets pegged.
>>146749840I don't think that's the case, after all I'm just here for the furry art
>>146749840and being a furry is progressive.
>>146749959You wanting to fuck a buffalo dog is no different.
>>146749387The same way you do in real life: fucking dominate them to the point where they reveal the more nurturing, protective side without the venom, or at least put that venom towards better purposes.
>>146747547A beautiful woman cursed to be a monster, not for her cold heart, but by the jealousy of an evil witch. Yeah, that could have worked well.
>>146750341>A beautiful woman cursed to be a monster, not for her cold heart, but by the jealousy of an evil witch.Or by an godly artifact that has mystical powers in it.
>>146750341Or both a cold heart that made a witch jealous.
>>146749840>Not wanting to be pegged by an asshole ladySad
>>146747547Could you work not being a closeted furfag?
>>146748476That sounds fucking awesome. Even with her own dumpy hype woman she hits
>>146747547It's pretty straight forward if you go with the angle of Beast and Gaston having traits that are commonly associated with men, them looking for female counterparts of them.>BelleMamma's boy. A geek with natural good looks from his father's side. Doesn't care about love and just wants to live a quiet life with his books. Too much of a nice guy to reject female Gaston, who's too much of a narcissist to grasp that someone wouldn't be interested in her.>BeastNeedy, timid lady with a low self-stem. Used to be a gorgeous but cold hearted princess until she was cursed and turned into a Medusa-looking monster. She stays in the darkness, refusing to let others see her face. Initially traps male Belle in her castle because she's too self centered.>GastonManipulative bitch who's only interested in male Belle because he's the only guy in the village who isn't orbiting her. Makes men humiliate themselves for her own amusement. Not a fighter but instead makes others do the dirty work for her. The Gaston song is now about how beautiful, smart and ladylike she is.So the story is now about a handsome nerd being trapped in a castle with an ugly snake monster, eventually helping her become more confident because there's more to beauty in women than just looks.
>>146752813You've just described Dandadan.
>>146752813>female Gaston wouldn't be an idiot since being dumb and horny is more of a man thing and the female counterpart is women being clever manipulators>her ego would be even more inflated because women are vain, leaving an opening to get outsmarted>big finale would take place in a room full of beautiful sculptures, with femGaston crushing a bunch of them as she hunts down Beast who defeats her by using stealth and wits
>>146752931I could imagine femGaston’s song being a lot like “Popular”
>>146750412You just reminded me that this episode was a thing. And since Goliath and Elise had a bit of a Beauty and the Beast motif, to the point where Elise dressed as Belle for Halloween, I wonder if something set in the Gargoyles universe might work for a gender-flipped Beauty and the Beast scenario.
>>146754234There was also something similar in the Aladdin series where at one point Jasmine was a snake monster.
To begin with, the story only makes sense in a society where a woman can be sent to live with ugly abusive men without any input from them, but when did it ever happened to men?Otherwise, it's just a story about making a bewitched woman hot again, which isn't that uncommon.
>>146747547>He's still a tall manblackpilling
>>146754290If the downry was good it happened often.
>>146747547Depends if she would look like a furry, or like Ewok.
>>146747547Yes because men will fuck anything
>>146754312Better?
>>146747547The general concept could work.The specific Disney implementation would need to make some changes to make sense, as I doubt just male Belle and female Beast would have the same dynamic.>>146749132Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined by Stephenie MeyerIt's literally just reverse-gender Twilight by the same author.
>>146754254He became one himself just to be with her, I remember it well.
No, because that would be furry shit.It's way easier to get involved in a story where the gal se es the inner beauty of a beast. If the man is the normal one and still "se es her inner beauty", that doesn't work because me are all about getting quick to the poon and doing it with amazing force and then but plenty and deeply.So if a man "se es her inner beauty" that just seems like a lie and an excuse and like he's actually a pervert. Like, no one would believe that he isn't into beasts.
>>146756795Much worse.
>>146747547She should be larger than him.
>>146760783That would make the whole thing even gayer.
>>146761912Hes just like me.
>>146747547Yes. But as anons in the past have said, you need to flip the entire dynamic, not just the genders. The female monster has to be an invader of instead of captor. The female monster needs to be lithe and skinless, more creepy than ferocious, and the male "Beau" has to be a guy who lives in a modest lodging and has to weight whether the fem monster is worth all the trouble she puts him through.
Could feline elements work for a female beast? Less tiger, more ocelot.
>>146765210Nah, Beast being a gorilla lion bear thing works well because men are big, hairy and tough looking. The female counterpart would either be sexy or clever but not strong looking.
>>146747547it would've been based but only women get to have monsters for some reason.
>>146760783No
>>146754254>>146759299He did, I remeber getting an awkward bonner from that episode.
>>146750412I'll was never truly understand what caused her to act so violently & aggressive through her husband, to the point she almost rape him and would probably maul him to death afterwards. There's also a thing that I don't quite getting it about is how it's even possible that her feminine body became masculine-looking in her werewolf form?
>>146749093
>>146748346>>146748644>>146765210>>146766125Behold, female Beast
>>146748152>The Beast is supposed to be a visual metaphor for selfishness and wrath, and nobody would want to see a girl act like that.You can't say this when "Slay The Princess" exists. I won't post spoilers but some princesses treated the protagonist far worse than anything the Beast did to Belle and they still get love.
>>146747547>Gaston is now the town bicycle determined to settle down with Bell and pop out his kidsWould be interesting to see how many here simp Gastina and get pissed at Bell for not giving her a chance.
