Luckily this looks like white savior western, and the timing as awful for that. Hopefully it ends his career.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

He’s saving his pretty blonde girls from bows and arrows, and seems to be partnering with some “good” Indians along the way, what am missing?

Usually involves the hero "going native" and helping the oppressed minority overcome the evil white villains, or helping them in some other way that they couldn't help themselves. Avatar, Dances With Wolves, Hostiles, Dangerous Minds. Even The Creator is basically a white savior movie, though the lead is black.

I couldn't really tell what was going on from the trailer.
