Yeah they airbrushed Summer Glau to the point it doesn't look like her.
Which is wild 'cus that is absolutely traced artwork over actual promotional photos they did of her with those goofy-ass weapons River uses like once in the entire fucking movie.
Not to be ultra-cynical but I genuinely would not be surprised if someone came out and said they just loaded the low-rez 2005 images that exist online into Photoshop and used the built-in generative AI bullshit to upscale/airbrush it into this crap.
