this would be like having the justice league and dressing them all in blue jumpsuit and trying to tell the difference between superman and captain marvel. it’s the same trap TRANSFORMERS fell into making the designs overly busy and monotone. how bad is it? i could put glasses on scarlett and make her the baroness. if i put a hood on duke i could make him zartan.

it’s a design flaw on the costume level, not the poor bastard that has to sell this in a poster. his sin is how completely disinterested everyone looks. they don’t look badass… they just look bored.

and who the hell are those two guys on the upper right? i’m assuming a generic cobra soldier and destro and if it is destro it doesn’t look like him and it doesn’t look cool enough for the poster. maybe cobra commander?

i haven’t seen anything about this movie that remotely interests me and this isn’t helping.
