There is a major problem when the men and women at 20th Century Fox think casual violence against women is the way to market a film. There is no context in the ad, just a woman getting strangled. The fact that no one flagged this is offensive and frankly, stupid. The geniuses behind this, and I use that term lightly, need to take a long hard look at the mirror and see how they are contributing to society. Imagine if it were a black man being strangled by a white man, or a gay male being strangled by a hetero? The outcry would be enormous. So let’s right this wrong. 20th Century Fox, since you can’t manage to put any women directors on your slate for the next two years, how about you at least replace your ad?
This ad will be what everyone sees though, regardless of whether or not they watch the film. They could have picked another image. Is this central to the plot?

This is but one of literally dozens of ads. The film is about a strong foe that can take more than one X-person by himself. This leads to the x-people combining their talents for a greater result.
Nothing to do with weird robot man hating on weird blue woman.
