2
3	* '''Straight''': Bob's friend Charles, who appears a lot in promotional material, only appears briefly at the end of the actual movie.
4	* '''Exaggerated''':
5	** Almost every character shown in promotional material has less than a minute of screen time.
6	** Charles appears in every second of promotional material that exists, but he is nowhere to be found in the movie.
7	* '''Downplayed''': A character featured in promotions doesn't appear as much as one might expect, but still has a decent role.
8	* '''Justified''':
9	** The character was originally planned to have a bigger role but plans changed.
10	** The character is [[EnsembleDarkhorse popular]] to the point fans borderline need to know if they'll show up.
11	** The promotional material is [[EarlyDraftTieIn based on earlier drafts]].
12	** [[WolverinePublicity Charles is the mascot for the whole franchise]].

16	* '''Inverted''': SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer
17	* '''Zig-Zagged''': The character barely appears in the movie after being advertised a bunch, [[SmallRoleBigImpact but they are one of the biggest influencers of the plot while they are there.]]
18	* '''Lampshaded''': “For some reason it feels like they should have stuck around longer”
19	* '''Averted''': A character's role in the movie is just as prominent as the advertising would suggest.
20	* '''Parodied''':
21	** The intro hypes up a character while noting that their role is less than ten seconds.
22	** The advertisements outright falsely advertises the character as the main protagonist, but the actual media has them [[DecoyProtagonist only be an extra]].
