When people and places that should be dirty are clean and kempt. Pirates on the seas should be dirty. Soldiers in the field should be dirty. Cowboys on a cattle drive should be dirty. Swamp cultists should be dirty. I appreciate realistically dirty characters. It distracts me every time when characters are clean and showered with their hair done on day three of being lost in the woods or some shit. It's one of the many things Our Flag Means Death nails. Even Stede gets grimy, because piracy is grimy work.

Especially when two people have to crawl through a pile of mud, or experience explosions or something and the guy is all muddy and torn up but the girl's makeup is intact and her clothes are mostly clean.

No, she has one spot of mud perfectly placed on her cheekbone.

Always seems to happen when a woman is in an explosion or something too. One cut or scratch in the same place or just above the eyebrow, and in the next scene it's got a butterfly bandaid over it.

Or women with foundation, mascara, and lipstick when it makes no damn sense. Like wow, didn't know Sephora survived the nuclear apocalypse.

It’s the perfect white teeth that throws me off in those scenes.
