You are over analyzing ONE joke. Maybe the only joke in the whole reboot saga. And it's funny because she is meant to be a Tomb Raider. That's the joke. Me myself: I love the gym. I'm a ****ing vigorexic dude. And I can tell you I said more than once "I hate gym" when there is too much people or when I had to wake up very early to go train. In the context, the joke is funny because the situation wouldnt be appealing even for classic Lara. Of course, Classic Lara wouldnt have fell, get slamed and beat the **** out of her, so she wouldnt say "I hate tombs". But that classic Lara has already the experience not to suffer doing what she does. |

A) We can never truly measure and compare our own feelings. So someone is afraid of clowns, I don't get that. However, I am afraid of aliens. Irrational fears, but my fear I assure you is strong and real.
B) Their life-experiences do not lead to the same place because they are not the same. At some point Classic Lara did pick up a gun and shoot somebody. We haven't seen it, apparently. However I am not going to be the one to assume it was traumatic. I think this is a boring, simplistic way to look at a character as exciting and interesting as the original Lara Croft. Someone who enjoyed the use of guns on some level, who clearly has some sense of morality for herself, yet is willing to pull the trigger quickly. I am well aware of the comment's levity. It's like if I were to say "God I HATE MY LIFE! Can I DIE now!?!?!?" ... I probably don't want to die right now, and I probably don't hate the entirety of my life. I think this joke is so simple that it's likely a very universally understood idea. The sense of irony and the exaggeration. I think most are aware of it. As for classic Lara, I think it's likely she might fall. She's done some silly things. But why compare the two in the first place, as if to somehow rectify their differences when it cannot be done? The world has already been tainted. Ruined, even. |

it was meant to be ironic and clever but if just came across as idiotic and stupid; and then even more so why their extended and contradictory childhood back story added in Rise.

So she went to Yamatai to look for the remains of the sun queen. Usually deceased people are put in graves or in this case tombs, since Himiko was of royal heritage, but Lara hates tombs, yeah because logic..

While the line itself does contradict the backstory, as I said before, the actions in both games do not contradict themselves. She may have been shipwrecked on Yamatai, but it was always her intention to find and explore the island. It's what happened while there and the rather revolting surroundings that promoted her to say that.

You're acting like being cheesy is a bad thing. I mean, just look at the past TRs. A lot of them were cheese platters and people love them.
