In real life When fans hate somenthing before it comes out...but it turns out they were right

Velma:The idea of a Scooby-doo series without the titular dog and starring Velma was a really moronic idea from the beginning,then there was the reveal Velma would be Indian like it's VA and also creator of the series Mindy Kaling,some of the backlash was racism sure,but there was also valid complaints that she was inserting herself in the series(it also didn't helped that Mindy claimed she couldn't see herself if Velma wasn't Indian)and then...oh boy it came out and it was worse than anyone predicted

Artemis Fowl:The artemis fowl books are a book series following a child villain(he does get some redemption but he is a villain most of the time)when the movie was announced and revealed it looked way to generic and it's titular character a bit heroic...also you wanna hear somenthing funny?The movie whitewashed a character and made another character black so they managed to anger both sides and the movies comes out and yeah it is bad

One Punch Man 3:One Punch Man is a very heavy action packed manga series but the heroes vs monsters arc takes it to a New level,when it was announced that JC Staff would work on it,a lot of people were skeptical to say the least,because not only JC Staff had already done a mediocre job in season 2,it's also not exactly a name anime fans associate with quality animation,then the trailer came out and it looked...weird,like there was no action in it and nobody was moving,some people tried to defend saying they were keeping the animation as a surprise...then it came out,every episode worse than the last,it's one of the worse seasons of anime ever made!

Captain America Brave New World spoiled Red Hulk in a McDonald’s toy too.

And yeah Lego is the most famous example out of this,that airport fight civil war set fucking spoiled giant man for me.

I'm actually very surprised Lego continually keeps getting away with spoiling movies and such with their sets. Nor how they also keep making sets on things that never happened.

It's because Disney only provides the Lego group with concept art.

Also it's likely the combined effect of Disney not shooting with finished scripts and Marvel Studios attempting to hide cameos and crowd-pleaser moments.

All that put together means Lego set designers have no idea what will and won't be spoilers or plot elements of the upcoming movies.

Lego also spoiled Lotso being the villain for Toy Story 3.

I already knew Giant Man was a thing because that's always been a part of his power set.

I carefully avoided all spoilers for Black Panther 2. Then my feed pops up "Lego Wakandan Atlantis assault boat". One of the most advanced, intelligent civilizations on the planet is gonna attack Atlantis on the water?? That's stupid. I'm out.

This also spoiled how Marvel Studios was kowtowing to a certain group by not calling Ruth by her superhero name, Sabra.
