Really??! I know this is a reboot, but if someone is writing the games and comics and has absolutely ZERO knowledge of the franchise's past, that is just purely disrespectful to the franchise as a whole. The writers don't have to be as educated on the series as we are (though it would be nice), but knowing absolutely nothing about a franchise you write for is just... bad. :/

Not to bash Rhianna, I think she is insanely talented and did do a lot of good things for Lara, but overall I feel like she didn't fit the job due to not understanding the franchise.
