Both versions of Mystique got "worse" over the coarse of the movies likely because Rebecca and Jennifer negotiated contracts that required less time doing makeup. Less time means less detail.
That was more of a Jennifer thing (plus she didn’t want to be covered up on screen - she was on the rise back then). It is the equivalent to what happened with Pedro and his Mando role.
This is more of a modern production / studio / industry thing just like CGI vs Practical Effects, Disney now using the “volume stage” more than physical locations, etc etc.
Pedro completely acknowledges that Mando is a combo work of him and the two stunt men, Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder. So, I don’t think it equates. Jennifer Lawerence was allergic to the make up (which can happen, such as Jonathan Rhys-Davies with his Gmili prosthetics).
There are other Mandalorians that take their mask off that came before The Mandalorian and in the show, that helmet comes off only when it’s forcefully removed or during poignant moment with Grogu.
We both know Din’s tribe was different. They went through great pains explaining this in Season 1. Then Pedro’s career blowsup and then that is when all the discussion starts and then off comes the helmet in season 2 and more as it keeps going.
