First look at Sophie Turner As Lara Croft

[Candleicious Ghost]

Speaking of looks I am always amused when some wholly manufactured or what feels like that controversy erupts over female game characters like the nerds all bent out of shape over Laufey in one of the God Of War side games with her in it. So much nerd rage

Angelina was the only one that really looked the part.

You mean looking unrealistically sexy for the character's profession? See Karen Gillan in Jumanji for that trope.

EDIT: Same applies to male characters, of course.

Found this AI-assisted pic on Deviant Art a while back. I'd credit it, but the uploader's page is gone.

Tomb Raider - No Way Home

Fwiw Lara in the games pre-reboot was also unrealisticly sexy

I didn't realize that there had been a reboot. My comment was based on the older game.

Sorry I thought the reboot started with 2013 Lara

She's a billionaire.

Her looks don't matter.

Moreso as a billionaire it is offensive how violently ignorant she is about how little money there is in archeology, that Lady Croft is depriving a living wage from all the hard up PHDs with nothing to do just because she is an adrenaline junkie playing mister dress-up.

Not to mention inho Ms Croft is no different to a common theif stealing priceless artifacts for her own possession

I mean looking most like the character in the source fantasy video game.

 

[Forbin]

Eh, it's a video game character.

No shit Sherlock.
And Jolie looks more like her than either of the other two.
Which is my point.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Eh, if visual resemblance of the video game character were everything, Rhona Mitra'd have them all beat.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Video game accurate...

To clarify, my comment was about the video game, not you.

besides traveling around the world to find all kinds of treasures like indiana jones

wonder what the tv show verison of tomb raider is gonna be about

like will there be a main plot and major storyline behind the treasures that laura finds

 

[The Wormhole]

will there be a main plot and major storyline

I would imagine so.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I would imagine so.

Nah, it’s just Lara doing her laundry.

 

[The Wormhole]

Nah, it’s just Lara doing her laundry.

Would doing her laundry be Rimmer's job?

Let's see who gets the reference.

The original version maybe, but I though Alicia Vikander looked a lot like the Laura from the reboot games.

I don't get why people have a problem with it, I thought the trailers they've released so far have looked fantastic, and I've been a big fan of Debora Ann Woll, so I'm really looking forward to her being the lead. I haven't Ragnarok yet, is there something that happened with her in that one that has people pissed?

It's just the usual crowd bent out of shape because she's not pretty enough

 

[JD]

Ah, I guess I should have realized that.
