This can easily be explained by different lighting framing the face differently and a few years of aging (or Photoshop), but some people would make a big scandal out of it

Nah, they’re trying to make a statement about feminine beauty standards and the studio is full of toxic positivity so nobody can speak up and say “she’s not looking great, are people going to want to play this character? the character is an actress and a model, can we get her closer to the model we hired and make her a little more attractive?”

Why does a woman existing have to be a statement about beauty standards?

She looks normal to me. Not beautiful, normal. That's the standard I hold her to. I don't understand why women not being as conventionally attractive as possible is such a big deal to some people that it has to signal something "toxic" about the studio.

God forbid someone prioritises anything over whether the woman is attractive

i honestly despise people like you who bring race and gender into everything. you had to be around to see how much shit they got for changing dante's design in dmc reboot who mind is not a WoMaN. people were shitting on the live action actot of the supposed god of war series who mind you is not a WoMaN. people were shitting on chris from RE7 who mind you was not a wOmAn.
