"Long Midface" misconception you are all still fooled by (explanation)

[Dastan]

Here Drago has MFR of 0.97, which is "perfect", considering his head is tilted down, so likely around 1:1 if his head was aligned in F. plane:

Now if we just make his midface longer = he looks a bit worse, 0.9 MFR (could be the end of the argument, cos he still looks good, but thats not it):

But he does NOT looks worse bc of longer midface, he looks worse bc his lower third height is now shorter in comparison to the original pic.
If we maintain his midface and lower third height ratio the same as the original pic - he looks the same aesthetically speaking (but you also need a very minor additional tweaks to bring back the same harmony, cos his face is a lot longer now (midface AND lower face both longer), so we need to add a tiny bit more facial width (which happens naturally with long midface + good forward growth patterns anyways), which makes his ESR even "worse" on top of longer midface, but it doesnt matter). So basically he still has the same "long midface", MFR = 0.9, but he looks as good as the original pic?? The reason is midface height to lower face height ratio should be balanced for the face to look masculine. But in majority of "long midface" cases the lower facial height is short in comparison to the midface height. Why? Bc its not forward projected -> looks shorter in front view.

Yeah, he deffo looks more ogre (no shit, cos his face is literally bigger in all dimesions), but it looks as good as balanced midface height, despite "long midface". It looks like he just has a bigger head tbh:
