I have no aversion to Red band trailers. I fully support the portrayal of female pleasure and consent when developed through a character's arc.
IMO, using it as a teaser purely for shock value, to cater to the male gaze, and as a mere introduction to the hero feels tacky. Unless the entire story is about how that woman became an accessory to the hero's graveyard massacre? If not, it's just using the language of empowerment to sell a regressive fantasy.
I’d rather take Rohit Shetty’s physics-defying car explosions than this.
