Theory about why Scar is so popular

[Kaltes]

Looking at my post really does make me realize how God awful Scar looks in comparison to Jungle Hunter.

In the side by side you can also notice the unnecessary addition of the small teeth in the primary (?) mouth. The original preds had two fangs on the top and bottom, giving a more "insect" appearance to go with the mandible look, which makes it much less human. Scar has two full rows of pearly whites, which humanizes him far too much.

Good observation on the teeth, I hadn't quite noticed that. It amazes me how something as seemingly simple as eyes and teeth can make or break or design.

They also made the mouth full close, which meant giving him a more substantial, "heroic" chin.

Re: eyes Ian Whyte did wear contact lenses. They just opted for a different more human-like colour scheme. This is because Anderson wanted him to be a comic book like character or a hero. Same goes for the more human-like mouth the chin the longer dreadlocks.

I hate the appearance on Scar, I think most here have said it best, bulky, too human-like and so on.

I think Scar is popular because he was the least incompetent out of the predators which is not saying much really because Scar has his dumb moments a few times.
