Borderlands players - what is your opinion about the new movie trailer?

Apologies that this is not a pure gaming question, but I'd really like to hear people's opinion on the Borderlands movie trailer and especially from people who have played the games. That's why I'm asking here, I hope that's ok.

The aesthetics are on point but the comedy seems like it'll be forced and to be frank, Lilith is just too old
Well, Tannis too. But they apparently don't follow the games timeline, otherwise Mordecai and Brick would be there instead of Tiny Tina and Krieg.
I mean, I understand leaving out Brick. Both Roland and Brick are not... bastions of dialogue. Both combined could be a bit much in a film. Even though he's a fascinating character. Mordecai confuses me more. He seems like a much better straight man (comedy term, not the orientation) than Roland or Brick, and if he operates like a sniper then he makes a great diagetic narrator to move dialogue and scenes because he operates as the scout from range. Granted the CG for the bird will probably cost.
I'm sure a good chunk was they wanted more Tiny Tina, and then they added Kreig just for the reveal moment which is... a lot of dedicated screen time just to create a moment. Seeing as he barely had any time in the trailer... clearly he doesn't shine in this film.
