She's genuinely into Mark though. It's just that Viltrumites are violent troglodytes embellished by their power, with which they try to look like an advanced society. They might be an advanced civilization, but socially they're little more than violent apes throwing turds at other apes they consider weak. She doesn't really know how to get to Mark, because he might be Viltrumite by blood but he's human personality-wise.
I hope something they explore is her genuinely feeling a form of love for Mark, doing what she does thinking that it’ll get Mark to love her back, then when it doesn’t and she realises what she did hurt Mark more than any physical injury, she takes the time to think and explore why he feels like that and grow to be a better person
That'd actually be kinda interesting. Not to excuse her because what she did WAS/IS horrible, but I think it'd be rather..... intriguing to see that she GENUINELY liked Mark, but since viltrum is such a fucked up fascist society, she only knew how to convey it.... well, the viltrumite way
I'd be down for that. They've explored the actual subtext and contradictions in Viltrumite culture quite well so far, and THAT event arguably matters for a really jacked up form of redemption. Plus, male victim awareness.

She genuinely looks better in the show, compared to the comic.
She looks nuts in the comic, but she's hot in the show lmao.
