A lot of people are wondering how Amanda and Rutland knew so much about the Excalibur and Avalon. Well I was thinking that maybe they are working for *Natla*. Her company did focus on the study of ancient artifacts. Maybe Amanda found out that *Natla* and Lara had a past so she decided that helping *Natla* would be the best way to get revenge. That could explain why they knew so much and there were *Natla Technologies crates* everywhere at the end of Tomb Raider Legend. And it could explain what role *Natla* plays in this game. I don't know if anyone has posted anything about this before but if they have I appologize. Feel free to delete. =]]

I would like that idea. Amanda and Natla teaming up to get revenge on Lara. That would be EPIC! :jmp:

That sounds perfect, I really hope that the game follows that vein of thought. Nice! :hug:
Amanda and Natla (i love when just that word is on white XP) could be a little cheesy if it's not done right
I would love it if that were the storyline, it sounds awesome! :tmb:

I think it makes perfect sence. And ever since the gameplay trailer I have been wondering how *Nata* recognized Lara so easily. I mean, people do change! Maybe Amanda had something to do with *Natla* recognizing her. Maybe I'm getting myself too into this and I'm not thinking straight! Hahah. Who knows!
I think Zip could be working for **SPOILER**. Rutland is dead.
Rutland did say "see you" before he died. Maybe the three of them planned on one of them dying and what they knew what they would do about it. Maybe after Amanda woke up from her K.O. state she contacted *Natla* somehow and she brought him back to life. She is a goddess after all.

Well you don't need the white text guys well go ahead but you put spoiler in the title :wve: I don't think the natla industries boxes where a clue for Anniversary rather than a connection between the two. And I think with Natla now weaker she may use Amanda to get whatever she's seeking. And I have a theory for what she is seeking, To Destroy the world with Fire.
I hate Natla working with Lara.:mad:
I don't think that Lara could trust [Natla], and she shouldn't, either.
Why do you all say her Name in White from the one that must not be named. :p
Lara Potter and the Revenge of Natla. :ton:
Seriously, we all know who it is by now. ;)

I don't think Lara will join NATLA.
NATLA! NATLA! NATLA!
She is better than that.
By the way, NATLA is in Underworld.

woot! great theory! and, ever believable! give it another 7 days and 2 months and we'll see :D
No one said anything about Natla working with Lara... did they? haha
They did somewhere on the demo of the Thailand in GC, the loading screen said something like "Natla says the hammer must be in Thailand.." or something like that.
So assuming that they must be working together.:mad:
I don't think Lara will join NATLA.
NATLA! NATLA! NATLA!
She is better than that.
By the way, NATLA is in Underworld.
Oops...
That made my day! :D

I said this in one of the theory threads :)
My theory, which I'll stick to unless something official contradicts it or the game comes out and proves it wrong:
Tihocan has been warped somehow and is doing something very likely to result in a lot of people dying. Lara realizes this and wants to stop him. She accidentally finds Natla, who claims to know how to defeat Tihocan. Natla enjoys jerking Lara around and forcing her into an alliance out of desperation. Zip and the others don't agree with this course of action because they know Natla cannot be trusted. Meanwhile, Amanda had been working with Natla because Natla had promised to help her bring enlightenment to the world. However, Amanda figures out that Natla was lying and didn't mean it in the same way Amanda wanted, so Amanda sets out to stop Natla's evil plan. This puts her up against Lara, who is defending Natla until Tihocan can be dealt with. After a fierce battle, Lara and Amanda then team up with each other, subdue Tihocan, and then take out Natla once and for all.

seriously???
that's really reaching...perhaps a bit too complex, even for CD.
You don't think it's just a genuine vendetta?
That Natla's ****ed her empire and all her hard work got blown to smithereens so she's out to get revenge/take over the world with a new artifact/power?
That's what I get from the teaser and trailer, especially with croft manor getting detonated.

Natla seems to have a weird personal interest in Lara. I don't think she wants to kill Lara. I think she wants to corrupt Lara, although I don't know if she actually wants Lara to join her or if she just wants to enjoy watching Lara become something she hates. I don't expect Natla to be perfectly fine and happy with Lara after TRA, but I do want Natla to be deeper than simply wanting to kill Lara in revenge.
Maybe the Tihocan thing was reaching a bit, but I really feel like he's coming back in some capacity due to the whole thing with Qualopec moving and then Tihocan's tomb being empty. I'm sure Amanda will be back too, and I fully expect a confrontation between Amanda and Lara because of what Lara did to her in Legend. Amanda is really not a bad person though (at least based upon Legend) so I can't see Lara killing her unless we're going for a repeat of the Lady Macbeth incident :whi: Plus the loading screen text from the Thailand demo said that Natla gave Lara information, so I assume Natla is trying to manipulate Lara even if Lara isn't willingly working with her.
I'm still convinced that Lara blows up her own Manor in order to erase her past and get a fresh start. I'm betting she'll find out that her father worked for Natla at some point, since Natla certainly seemed to know all about her father in TRA :rolleyes:

Well, ok, yes, I agree that Tihocan moving and Qualopec's absence are indeed curiouser and curiouser...and Natla's chomping at the bit to get Lara to take a seat next to her in/on the triumverate was perhaps for more than 'dramatic effect'...
I also think that, for general closure (and the sake of all our sanity), Amanda should return in some capacity and, if not, at least have that part of legend's uber-soap-opera-style cliffhanger wrapped up in some believable way...otherwise I feel that Legend will have been the biggest jerk off ever in the history of jerk-offs.
Believe me, underneath it all I totally want a crazy ass storyline that involves everyone and everything in totally inconceivable ways, twisting and turning, completely leaving us dumbfounded like slackjawed idiots drooling out the sides of our mouths--just as long as it's well written, well executed, and all loose ends are tied up--once and for all.
:tmb:
Actually I liked Natla as an enemy... but I'm kind of bored of female enemies... I mean... Natla, Sophia, Amanda... all blonde... I wanna have a monster or something else as main enemy! But for TRU I think It'd be cool if your theory was right : D
it's rather Queen uses Whiner (not visa versa) to get revenge and make Lara's life (and whole entire Earth too) miserable
No one thought about the possibility that I, Jay Walker could be the main protagonist in the game :)

Nooooooo, that'd be too 'ard!! :( :p
protagonist or antagonist? :confused:

lol i always get those the wrong way around, which is more fitting for a baddie? :)
antagonist = anti-hero :) But I understand you. We never could tell is Lara heroine or antiheroine. I suppose she's an antiheroine

Whats the diffrence and what do they mean.

WHEN??? WHERE??? :confused: :eek: Did I miss out a whole episode, or what??

No, she maimed one and then got toally pwned by both of them in return. Have you played TR1 or TRA?!
Ok, so i'm not stupid, right?:jmp:

Anybody remember that computer screen in TRL in the manor? I've been reading it over and over again but I can't take a picture because I have the 360 but judging by the computer screen I'd say that either Lara or Amanda is the one to walk among mortals and whatever else it said. Amanda and Lara will more than likely end up being friends/teaming up if not then Amanda might die (But I'd like to see her in a future TR aiding Lara not going against her) But I'm so exited just to see Amanda/Natla together if that will happen..

Antagonists and anti-heroes are not the same thing.
An anti-hero is someone who is willing to defeat a villain but more likely for his/her own desires.
An antagonist however, is someone who commits crimes or causes harm to the world. You know, evil.
yup but Lara is a bit of everything. She can harm the world to achieve her goals. No matter will she or not but she is capable to do so. She acts according to her own principles and no-one elses. Saving the world never was her primary goal. She just remains kick-ass lady

It's nice to see my little theory spawned this many replies!
Haha.

Over all I think a story line even remotely close to this would be amazing!
Either was Ima buy it because it looks brilliant and has Natla in it!
Hehe.
