Idk, maybe it was intentional. The movie was bound to be controversial in the first place. On the other hand if the trailer doesn't reflect the content of the movie at all, that would also be weird, so... I don't know.

Like with the Columbine thing, you could argue that avenging cool badasses was how the kids saw themselves, and you'd have a point. If you said it'd be important to show that part, how they built themselves up, that'd be a point too. If someone gave artistic license as a reason for portraying that part and focusing on it in the trailer for shock and hype and marketing then I can't really argue logically against it, that kind of thing isn't illegal and I'd still say that kind of thing shouldn't be banned. But I can't find it unreasonable that a bunch of people would be up in arms, or that they'd be worried it might influence kids who saw it.

What I wonder most about is Bundy being so far back in the past, at least to people born in the 80s and later, after he was dead. People know of him as "one of those serial killer guys" but generally don't seem to know the details of what he did any more. Maybe the point of the movie is to get people to watch it, thinking it'll be fun, and hit them with all the horrible stuff? It's just hard to imagine how it'll be.
