"can you actully compare her to Nina Tucker"

Well she DID die almost as soon as she was introduced and now the internet won't stop putting her in Top 10 lists. Hell, I think SHE'S even the reason people are drawn to watching Fullmetal Alchemist these days (I was drawn into it because of the interesting setup, and that was BEFORE Nina Tucker became a meme).

Here she's advertised like she's going to be the secondary lead, which is NOT the best idea if her main purpose was to die almost as soon as she was introduced. I mean on paper that would sound like it would irritate audiences.

I mean I get that she's the main character's main motivation throughout the story, but in my opinion that's just a bad marketing strategy.

Just look up Goblin Slayer, it was meant to be a dark and disturbing fantasy series with violence and gore but the promotional ads displayed it like it was going to be a typical harmless fantasy adventure, and the controversy got so big that Crunchyroll had to add a warning to the show.

That's a sign that you either screwed up, or trolled your audience. And this feels like the latter.
