If Kilgrave Was A She...

The way this show portrayed him, she would probably still be just as evil. They made it out that his circumstances led to him taking the selfish path.

Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late)

Despite being changed in to a woman, Jeryn/Jeri Hogarth was as devious and sleazy as you'd expect from a morally reprehensible lawyer type. I think they'd keep Kilgrave the same.

On the TV show Alphas there is a female character called Nina with the power of mind-control, in terms of personality and motivations she's very similar to Kilgrave; narcissistic, spoiled, amoral, selfish, manipulate, sexual predator/sex offender (but this is almost entirely glossed over because she's an attractive woman) and so on.

However, unlike Kilgrave she has something of a conscience and tries to be a better person but still this sort power over people can understandably have a corrupting effect regardless of gender.

BTW, I don't believe Kilgrave was psychotic more obsessive and delusional.


"I've watched a LOT of sh*tty movies all the way through to make sure I was indeed wasting my time."

I think she would be portrayed similarly but she probably wouldn't be called a rapist and be considered by Jessica to be unforgivable and irredeemable.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely. I don't think it would make much of a difference if the power came from a man or a woman. Some of the crimes might be a bit different but the motivations would be very similar.

Especially if both people had similar childhood experiences.
