I am a bit on edged that they did nothing to make Dev Patel look like Zuko. He doesn't even have the scar! I love the new details on Aang's arrow. Maybe Dev does have the scar, we just cannot notice it from this pic. Maybe the scene was from before he got it. Find more here and here. I'm having some mixed feelings right now. Part of me really wants to see it, however part of me is annoyed that they are changing quiet a bit of it. The same feelings I've got going into Star Trek. I wonder what kind of reception he'll get once he goes back to school when the trilogy is over. He literally is the Avatar now.

But...but...the scar...
Zuko without the scar is like Spock without the pointy ears...Quasimodo without the hump...and Bishie you care to name without the really pretty hair!
It IS a first look, though. It may just be a costume test. The make-up may come later (though Noah seems to have his tattoo). Or maybe the scar's going to be digitally rended like Davy Jones' tentacles or something...but yeah...hasn't changed my feelings about the movies...

Maybe it's from a flashback scene before Zuko got burned.

Dev don't look thirteen, man.
Like I said...they could be going the CGI route for it...look at what they did with Two-Face. Or the scar may be more subtle and realistic. The size and location of the thing on the animated Zuko...it probably would have killed him.

I rea'd somewhere else(who knows if this guy's info is accurate) that there is definitely a scar for Zuko. But it's not as pronounced as it is in the cartoon. And his ear is not burned and his eye is unaffected. Take the info for what it's worth.

He was before he got his scar. It was a direct response to this: Maybe it's from a flashback scene before Zuko got burned. *EDIT* THIS is the scar?! You've got to be frikken kidding me!

I just remembered something that makes me wonder if that shot of Devko is real... Fierymonk posted this manip on April 1st...the outfits are the same...and it was proven to be a screencap from a totally different movie. Perhaps this is the same?

The outfits are def similar, but if you look close they are not EXACTLY the same. And that would have to be a heck of a manip, because the contrast is flawless. I severely doubt it's fake. Honestly, I've found I'm not bothered by the fact that it's not pronounced. It's based off a cartoon, and everyone knows color shading in a cartoon has to be slightly more pronounced then usual to make it stark. I also kind of like that they didn't go ponytail on us. I think in reality that translation would have been awful. Any outsider that didn't know the show would have laughed his butt off. I mean. All movie adaptions are going to be different in some ways, it's a fact. At least Sokka gets his wolftail. I am content with this. What disturbs me more is the soldier to the right in that pic. Is that... horse hair coming otu of that helmet?

Ostrich-horse hair maybe?
I 'd just like the scar to be a bit more obvious, you know? It just looks like he was in a punch-up the night before or something...

Well, I can't say I hate it. To be completely honest, live action scar actually looks pretty good to me. Gotta remember, his scar wasn't originally quite as bad as it was near the end of the series. It was made worse when the pirates blew up his ship. So, unless they intend to include that in the movie, I think it looks fine the way it is.

The size and location of the thing on the animated Zuko...it probably would have killed him. I hope so. I know translating from animation to live action will change things but Dev's "scar" doesn't even look like a burn scar. I got a iron burn the size of a Starburst once and that looked more like Zuko's scar that that close up of Dev/Zuko.
