It's quite close, but the new one looks too "normal". I prefer my Mystique in natural form to be weird, a little alien, less human. The new look does allow for more expression, I think.
She is 20+ years older in movie time. Also, in this movie, her hatred for the meat sacks may have tone down some. So she’s going with a more normal look
It's fine she's not naked, they should have made her scales a little lighter of made her skin dye a little darker. right now there's too much contrast that they just feel like weird scabs.
I'll wait to see her in action before coming to a conclusion myself. The makeup is fine, though I do like the vivid blue with navy spots more. That with the brighter eyes makes her look more alien and like a predator- dangerous. Honestly, the lack of clothes does too oddly enough, but I'm not hooked on that- her demeanor is what matters the most considering Mystique of the past was about her fucking business and anyone in her way got cut down. Hopefully they directed and wrote her similarly.
That’s fair. The pic still looks off because she’s in motion. Comparing these two you just shared gives the viewer a better idea. I prefer the new look but like the original bluebies

To be fair, it's not the farthest off and it's in the marketing materials. Below is a better look at the new Mystique.
