Everytime I think about this scene, it makes her weird redemption even weirder. Especially how we basically skip over the whole thing.
Like all these other badass viltrumites seem to acclimate to Earth life immediately and she decides to rape Mark because she couldnt just give Earth a proper shot.
And then implying that shes gonna do it again and again until she gets impregnated is so fucked to me. And then she teases him about it in front of everyone!
Like she obviously cant be redeemed but why even put that in there in the end
That second part was too real. crap like that is very real. But I think the redemption arc was kind of an effort to walk it back. Raping the person she knew Mark to be (because spoilers) was a life ending thing to do, and somehow that did not happen. just from a political point of view, she had to die, and die ugly. Otherwise it would undermine their whole political system.
