a) omg but actors have to be pretty!

b) the continuity work for the makeup department would be a bitch.

[merryghoul]

Re: b): That's my answer as well. Applying scars, let alone applying them in the same places, would be costly and time-consuming. Also: a bitch. OP, you have to find fandoms where the actors get scars pre-series and/or on the job and wear bandaids as if they were never hurt and we're not supposed to notice, lol.

[truxillogical]

I seem to remember that in Firefly, Malcolm got himself stabbed in the shoulder in one episode, and then a few episodes later, he's missing his shirt, and the scar is still there. I don't know if maybe it's a scar Fillion has, but I remember being impressed that they bothered to put it there.

Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's kind of nice.

ot but icon love!!

Pretty much this. Unless the scar has a deep meaningful history (usually told in detailed flashbacks) the makeup department won't bother. Heck they forgot to add Castiel's burn mark on Dean's bicep and had to come up with some bullcrap story to explain it and that was a scar they did make a big deal about.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought Supernatural was a relatively interesting example. While they don't typically preserve scars (although, sometimes injuries for a while), they have included lines that suggest Sam and Dean do have the expected scars, we just don't get to see them. For example, when Dean was raised from Hell, he mentions that all his scars (and improperly mended bones) are gone now.

So it becomes a bit like suspended disbelief during a play: we know the characters have scars, even if the actors do not. So you can mentally fill in the gap. An odd approach (and clearly because of the logistics of makeup, just like when Shakespeare has characters describe things that cannot be shown on stage), but kind of interesting in that the script acknowledges it.
