The snark seems misplaced here. WBD is focusing on two types of movies — prestige pictures that win awards, and low risk franchise pictures that are very likely to make lots of money.

i mean the marvels was a flop. it happened. that’s what it looked like.

I also consider myself to be a Borderlands fan. These photos look about like what I was expecting. It’s not clear from the article why they disappointed you. The vibe of the solo shot is “Lilith has an attitude,” which we all knew. And the vibe of the group shot is, “There’s something in that hole.” They’re not the…

“Movie with a previously announced sequel ends with a cliffhanger, in shocking turn of events.”
