Mkay, time for my in-depth review of Zuko's scar in the live action ATLA, because I'm a lil salty.
Tumblr media
This is the first shot of Zuko we see, and my first impression is: this isn't the best makeup. The first thing that stands out is the flatness of the scar. It's unrealistic, because burn scars usually heal in a lumpy way, it's called hypertrophy. See the burn scar from the Hound (Sandor Clegane) in GOT:
Tumblr media
That lumpiness is super important for making skin appear like it had been burned by fire and healed over! But because it's not really there in Zuko's face, it just looks like he got a bad sunburn:
Tumblr media
I understand Zuko doesn't need a super deformed face, or enormous textures in his scar, but we basically have just flat skin right now, and it doesn't sell 'bad scar' at all. The makeup should've been somewhere between those two things.
The second thing is the general inaccuracy of the scar itself. I'm not gonna nitpick how it doesn't go as far down his cheek, or how it's not affecting his left eyelid, but there are some major things I am gonna mention. In the animated show, his left eyebrow was burned away because the fire contacted the skin underneath it, and then went over that, up into his forehead:
Tumblr media
Here's a crappy edit I made where the brow is mirrored, you can see how much the scar extends over it.
But in the makeup, it looks like the fire either stopped directly at the underside of his brow, or it did burn his skin under the brow, but the brow grew back somehow. It looks weird. Because the brow is still present, there's less contrast to draw your attention to the scar and subconsciously say 'this isn't normal'.
Here are two other edits I did:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is what I'm talking about when I say the brow (and height of the scar) drastically changes how Zuko looks. He looks so much closer to the animated version now, but he's still free to emote because his eye isn't affected at all, and his brow could still move normally. It also helps give him that harsher appearance, which people tend to say exists with the ponytail hairdo! But it would also work great with his long hair look, which would soften everything anyways.
(For the second edit, I also tweaked the ear a lil bit.)
When it comes to the colours of the scar, I'm undecided. In the OG show, they probably had to change the colour of his scar so much to indicate there was even a scar in the first place, because it would've been annoying to add tons of line detail for the animators to deal with instead. At the same time, the live-action show could tone it down a lil bit. But it doesn't look bad, per se.
The third observation I have is Zuko's ear. If you look in the animated show picture above, his left ear (your screen right) is smaller than his right ear, because it's scarred over. I don't think it's practical to have that kind of effect in the live-action show, because it would mean even more CGI (they'd literally need to paint out the real ear, and then replace the ear with a digidouble ear). But if you look at the trailer capture, you'll see the scar colour doesn't even extend to his ear at all!
If you open the picture in photoshop, the scar around his eye and cheek has a reddish hue, but the skin on his ear is the same colour as the skin that isn't scarred. This isn't a cherry-picked sample, the hue is the same in each entire area. As soon as you stop sampling the ear and start sampling the cheek, it drops right into the reds/oranges:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think the ear coming away unscathed might be a little unrealistic too, considering the scene where Zuko is burned by Ozai currently looks like this:
Tumblr media
The fire is obviously going around the sides of his face, not just going directly into it and then bouncing away. It's kinda brushing around. With a scene like this I would expect the ear to have some kinda damage. Is it because they toned down the overall scar so much that any apparent damage on the ear would become nonexistent? Maybe. But right now, the scar just looks like a blob on his face, instead of a spot where fire actually flowed around.
And I just wanted to point out something else I've seen, not in the trailer, but in the fandom. Because I'm already tired of seeing it, it's dumb. Basically I was on a forum and I saw someone say 'if you want something like Two Face from Batman, this is the wrong property to ask for that'. I thought it was super unreasonable because nobody is asking for this:
Tumblr media
And nobody is having a 'meltdown', like some other dishonest peeps are saying! People are just mildly upset that the actor's skin looks like it's been coloured in with dye, and there's almost zero hypertrophy to actually telegraph the fact that it's definitively a scar.
So those are my thoughts.. The scar is barely serviceable, they kinda dropped the ball imo.
Don't get me wrong, I totally understand the ~hollywood need~ to make things super toned down so you can see actors' glamorous faces or whatever, but some additional scar makeup wouldn't have harmed his ability to emote or anything. They didn't even need to do anything to his eye.. Just fix the overall first impression the scar gives, which would've worked with the stuff I mentioned above. So I'm not sold on 'it's to show the actor's face better' as an acceptable reason. It's an explanation sure, but it's just not good enough to justify the difference to me.

pain
(For the drabble)
Thanks for the prompt! CW for burns. Might or might not be canon to The Ciano Dragon series.
Katara feels like frothing at the mouth like a rabid animal, her hands burn and her eyes are full of unshed tears. She doesn't stop trying to loose the chains, even if she thinks her skin is being torn, stuck to the metal.
"You'll be fine, you'll be fine," she keeps repeating like a mantra.
The idea of losing her best friend (she's not ready to think about how what she feels is much deeper than just a friend thing) like this hurts. Pain intense enough to feel physical, like fire and lightning raging in her chest.
Honor this, honor that, very honorable to chain a majestic creature as if it is nothing but an animal for slaughter. (Because she is, for the honor-obsessed prince, her head's the price for his father's love.)
She turns the pain into determination, then she'll turn it into thirsty for revenge.

{Open starter}
Tw: burns
-
She had a new mask now. This one only covered half of her face.
Slowly, with shaking hands, she took it off, catching the briefest glimpse of her reflection in front of her. Staring back at her was her own face, a horrible burn covering almost half of one side.
It wasn't the only burn she'd sustained. Cinder, the fall maiden, had done a number on her during their fight. At the very least, Gale was still alive even after all that. That was most important.
Even then, Nera almost didn’t recognize herself. Her face used to look perfect. Now...
Tumblr media
She covered her eyes, trying to hide the tears.
"Don't look at me..."

This was from the other night when I put a pizza in the oven and bumped the side of the oven. 425° isn't so nice to skin.

"It... It's nothing, Pico..." Benjamin mumbled, pulling the collar of his hoodie higher.
It definitely could have been worse. This one at least wasn't pressed as harshly or long enough to leave a scar.
"Just uh... accidentally splashed a bit of hot water, a drop got me..."
That's believable, right?

I keep on hearing people go all "The voice of the Smitten is such a creep. All he wants in the princess is someone to control and keep as a pretty object. He'd drop the princess if she wasn't the perfect petite maiden like in the damsel route." and I will not stand for the Smitten slander.
Like- He's been in love with her as a burning corpse ghost lady:

A terrifying ghost woman who wants to bring fear and chaos to the world:

And even a murderous blade monster woman who would kill you and enjoy every second of it:

Like, he ALWAYS loves the princess no matter what she looks like or how she acts, he loves her for being herself no matter what or who she is. That's the point of his character and I'm tired of people slandering my boy.
