To what extent does something have to be similar for it to be a rip-off? And to what extent does something have to be similar for it to be the same?

Most video game characters are humans, so there's a bit too much of a similarity there. Most of these humans are men, so there's a bit too much of a similarity there. Most of these human, men are soldiers, so there's a bit too much of a similarity there. Most of them are shooting each other and trying to end some evil thing. So there is some more similarity.

And so according to the incredibly vague way in which y'all view Lara Croft's character, yes, another female character who explores the world for stuff is a bit too similar.

Not assuming she had a personality that mattered...

or was taken into consideration...
