Fans sued studio for misleading trailer (really!)

And the judge agreed!

Movie fans can sue over misleading trailer, US judge rules

Oh man I am going to be so rich!

Oh wait, it's class action nevermind. The plaintiffs will receive nothing, and probably don't even know they're in the suit. Seriously we should have to opt-in to these things instead of opting out. It's criminal.

Eh, the Hulk not being part of the battle in Infinity War is an even more egregious Disney example (as opposed to Banner in the Hulkbuster armor).

I want to sue Kevin Smith and Netflix over the misleading Masters of the Universe: Revelation trailer. I thought I was getting a He-Man show when all I got was the Teela / Evil-lyn girl power show.

These are the kinda people that want everything spoiled for them in the trailers. Get a life, like seriously.

Movies are often edited and changed after a trailer is released and that's just one reason this would set a terrible precedent should it succeed.

There are far worse examples of inaccurate advertising people could then sue for, like the Disney commercials where the kid just casually runs up and hugs Mickey Mouse on main street instead of waiting in a 60-minute line.

This is really dumb. Though, I always kind of figured somewhere in that fine print at the end of a trailer it says "Subject to change."
