Great things? Where, is it hiding under the bad writing? You know, if you're going to attempt to debate what I have said, then you're gonna have to make some points of your own. |

They weren't bad either! "Good" or "enough". Dominiguez looks especially amazing btw he has a great potential to be an AMAZING villian!
In the end i have seen a lot worse and in adventure games or movies like TR villians aren't something special either you only have certain expectations for them. Dominiguez looks something very special which i like and is NEEDED!! My expectations are higher this time. |

I'm not sure if you know this, but Lara always marched to the beat of her own drum. Sure, she was overtly feminine looking, but she always had (what some would consider) 'masculine power'. She was quite a confronting character for her time where she made her own rules instead of following them. She created her own destiny instead of allowing herself to be defined by trauma. Seriously, just take a look at classic Lara and reboot in simply the way they speak and act. They're completely unrelated. The new Lara throws that out of the window to follow the stereotypical 'female is powerful because she was defined by overcoming mental illness' trope. Not to say that that trope isn't good, or shouldn't be explored in other stories. But it's not Lara. I don't like making comparison with Uncharted, but that's like turning Nathan Drake into Joel - a fun loving, fairly light character into an emotionally damaged character. Naughty dog know how to stay consistent and respects what makes their characters relatable and unique. So yeah, Rise was awful, but so was Rhiannon's idea. They can make an amazing, relatable and recognisable Lara Croft without going down a road (mental illness) that just doesn't suit her. Last edited by Swiz19; 17-07-18 at 22:46. |

There are a lot of people who doesn't love what they've done with the reboot, but people are so quick to hate on them even when they explain why, so I just thought it was nice that I saw something I agree with.

I can't be the only one who loved what Rhianna did with Lara. I thought she did a great job, especially with the limited creative freedom.
