Applying legal standards here is rather like apples and oranges. Media producers are entitled to nothing from fans, not one penny or minute of time. It's on them to do the marketing in order to justify our purchasing choices. And we make market decisions all the time based on the flimsiest of aesthetic preferences. I buy a cortadito rather than a latte because I like a smaller coffee drink. I buy the corn chips in the yellow bag over Doritos because I prefer plainer and thinner chips. M&M peanut have a better mouth feel for me than M&M peanut butter. This shop serves better shrimp & grits than that shop. etc., etc.. I bought a season of Brooklyn Nine Nine, but I'm considering dropping CBS All Access. This grocery is a bit more expensive, but they have excellent customer service.

Standards of evidence really don't apply here. We weekly have secrets by people who bail on media because they don't like the way an actor looks, the way he sounds, or the way he's styled. That's not a deprivation because actors are entitled to nothing from fans, no money, no time, no positive word of mouth. Given this, I don't have to legally prove that Depp is a bit of an ass, or that he's a washed-up hack. I'm entitled to roll my eyes and say, "Gods no, not him again." Just as you're entitled to roll your eyes at a Tomb Raider reboot movie. In both cases, the creators are entitled to nothing from us, and we're depriving them of nothing if we fail to buy their work.

(That's not even touching the problem that I found Fantastic Beasts a dull, derivative, and unnecessary sequel. I was bored before Depp appeared.)
