Two new Tomb Raider games have been announced.

All this seems to be a general response to the industry's masculinizing of female characters. Nothing says "Girl Power!" more than making women look like men...or what they call "uglifying"

Seems to be that these types of content are a response to the content that berated developers for making Lara too feminine looking, seen a few of those, mind you only a FEW...but they are out there...

(usually made by those that make the Horta from "Devil in the Dark" look like a Victoria Secret model...HA!!!!)

Lara's looks , her beauty and physique, her deadpan humor and sarcasm are all part of her construct, her mystique, when people mess with that , purist don't like that

I like the Lara we got from Tomb Raider Underworld and I liked the trilogy Lara that started way back in 2013, and would say she is my favourite Lara

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.
