Marcus and Dom Appearance Change

So I was thinking after seeing a lot of people discuss about the difference in appearance for Marcus and Dom looking different to previous games.

Obviously it’s a new engine so that would play in effect to changes but from a lore perspective, it makes sense why they would appear much more different for E-Day than later on.

They are both early 20s and despite already fighting in the pendulum wars, it’s good to remember how much lengthy wars and serving can affect your appearance using real world references.

And also the fact he served over a decade in prison which can also be a factor and have that affect depending on how that time is spent.

The real world reference I used in comparison is of Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev whose appearance drastically changed after fighting in the war from 1941-1945.

Marcus also being around the age of JD in Gears 4 is why his seems to resemble him much more in trailer than he does in later games.

Let me know what you think.
