As you note, you haven't read it. There's a fairly hefty difference to the subtext of a rookie losing courage in the face of overwhelming power and a seasoned heroine offering no fight while being brutalized and begging to what appears to simply be a man with a gun while another villain video tapes it and plays it back for a bar full of guys.
Edit: Reading that back, that sounds rather argumentative. Sorry about that... poor phrasing. It should be more of an "I think when you read it you'll find a hefty difference in the subtext between the two."
