irony1
ˈʌɪrəni/
noun
the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

It's a gentle ironic moment...

I find it humorous... and it also always reminds me of the famous Indiana Jones moment when he says he hates snakes.

Indy hates snakes. Lara hates tombs.

It's kinda funny. Without being cheesy wise-cracking, which I applaud.

I actually smiled when she said it. and I think that's the reaction they were aiming for with that line.

Because she's clearly not a Tomb Raider. Despite the title of the game.

Honestly, I've never liked this sentence. It felt rather insulting and totally cringeworthy, like they really tried so hard to make it appear an hilarious remark but miserably failed. "Oh look Lara Croft says she hates tombs, how funny is that ahaha" No.

Because you're italian and you heard it in italian too. Maybe it's the italian version only that is so serious in that sentence

[QUOTE=dinne;7675593]Oh and don't be so arrogant because I don't like it, thanks.[/QUOTE]
I don't see anyone being arrogant :confused:

Maybe translations in videogames tend to sound more exagerated. I remember when I saw this cutscene in Spanish, Lara also sounded deadly serious in the way she said she hated tombs.

To be fair, I played TR2013 using the original VA with English subtitles since I'm not a big fan of italian dubs, and regardless of the tone I simply didn't appreciate that line and what it -supposedly- stands for.
