Might just be me, but I'd kind of prefer them to be normal looking.
Trilogy Lara looks normal
Which one? There have been multiple trilogies. But I assume you mean the most recent one. Yes, I felt she was pretty good. I felt she was a bit more on the realistic side, and I even liked the movie version of that one.
Hey @Owain Taggart
Yes I meant the one that started in 2013 with Tomb Raider, Rise, and Shadow. That Lara was good and I liked her.
Movie Lara with Alicia Vikander was good too and I like Angelina Jolie's version as well
My favourite Lara Croft is still the Tomb Raider 1 version, I don't think they've ever beaten her.
Just pure badass 90s antihero shit, can't top it. I remember being pretty let down by TR4 as a kid, partly because of the weird hub system and Egypt-only setting but also because Lara Croft was suddenly kind of whiny and gloomy, when in the first three games she was essentially the coolest person on Earth.

I've seen some videos about this particular Lara and people really going too far into it saying how her narrow waist couldn't support her body and other random stuff. There was a real life woman who tried to make her figure like this but ended up ruining her body because she used corsets and prolonged use made her body unable to hold itself up without the corset.
How woman with world’s smallest waist made herself thinner using corsets
Cathie Jung has held the record of smallest tight-laced waist on a living person for almost 25 years.

It was all about the polygons. To me that version of Lara was all abstract. Interestingly, as the series progressed and the graphics got better, she got more and more realistically proportioned.
She's definitely drawn in a very stylised, unrealistic way. The early games all look very comic book-ish to me - the lush vibrant colours, the cartoony animals and dinosaurs. I really wish they'd kept that direction as technology improved, but realism seemed to end up being the focus across the whole gaming industry.
I think in that sense, maybe going with a cel-shaded look might have been interesting.
Today I learned that some female gamer YouTubers are acting like they've switched sides for views, as if they're right-wing. At the same time, a B-list director, Uwe Boll, whose name I only learned about a few months ago, has made a film starring Armie Hammer that the right wing would love, purely for views. The main character is a brothel owner fed up with uncontrolled immigration crimes; so he becomes a vigilante and starts killing immigrants. Moreover, according to the director, he didn't make it satirically; he's quite serious.
^ Uwe Boll has a history of making terrible movies out of videogame properties. He sort of made a name for himself that way and somehow he's kept making movies. Look up Dungeon Siege: In the Name of the King. That movie while terrible spawned at least 3 more sequels.
He does that as a German tax write off
That would make sense, I guess. Normally though that would mean he would have to make movies in his own Country.
