What people don't get it is NOT that a villain is being villainous or that a female character getting treated violently, it's the fact they decided to use THAT moment for the fucking billboard.

Sure that kind of thing wouldn't be unusual for a comic book cover, but for movie advertisement it is a little strange especially out of context. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen a male hero get a billboard of the villain choking him. Even if it happened in the film, that is a strange thing to sell a film on.

This, exactly.

This is the image they decided to freeze, to blow up, and display all around even for little kids to see. I don't care that this scene happens in the movie, but it isn't appropriate for a billboard, and it is NOT how male superheroes are advertised for their movies.

Heroes in peril is a pretty common theme for comic book covers, including male heroes being choked.

As many movies as Marvel has been putting out, I still don't think we have a good enough sample size of films to make huge claims about sexism in billboards. I haven't seen a male superhero in this situation - but I also hadn't seen a female one, before this, so I hardly think it's some kind of systematic hatred of women, which is what people are saying (not that it's 'strange').
