Heroes with guns? Okay. But not like this. (Destiny)

I agree on all points. You've describe each tree in the forest, but to describe the forest for a moment:

This is Bungie's big, bold step into creating a new fictional universe. And upon first inspection, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a cover for a new Halo game. Maybe even second inspection.

As you said, it takes Destiny's defining imagery and hides it, reducing it to clip art behind three poorly composited character images. No sense of adventure, of grandeur, of different.

It's three oddly placed characters with guns.
