Unpopular Opinion - Show!Luke was kinda defanged(so was everyone else)

Luke's scar not being big is the least of my problems with his show version. I don't know if it's Charlie's features,acting,direction or simply the script,but this Luke seems too soft. Yes,Luke is supposed to be friendly and gentle,but there's also this sharpness to him. To be fair,everyone's edges were softened,not just Luke's. But since this is about Luke,and he's my fave,I'll talk more about him. He's supposed to be a veteran of this harsh world,and looks like "He could deal with just anything" - and Charlie's Luke doesn't show this,IMO. He seems more like a rich popular kid who never had a hard day in his life. Him having a worse scar wouldn't change much,since it wasn't just a physical mark on Luke,but his aura and behaviour. In fact,Charlie's Luke with a big blemish in his face would give the vibes of an accident while joyriding on his daddy's car,or doing something particularly reckless for fun and having to spend a few days in the hospital. In fact,I'd take a scarless Luke with harshness and trauma over a scarred but soft Luke.
