Don't forget when Teenage Lara almost exposed her teenage breasts during the Ireland levels in TR5 and so forth. Lara was sexualized by the people who made her long before Angelina took the role.
Don't know where people are coming up with this theory that Jolie "doesn't like" the series? sounds like alternative facts to me. She's the reason why people manage to remember Tomb Raider and she cemented TR's legacy.

For the games I remember she talk about that but It's not like she said something like that : "hmmm boys I'm gonna take off my wet clothes just for you" that's how you sexualised a character but no and in the second game it was the way the devellopers have handled the Nude Raider controversy it was an answer it was not sexual at all "you have seen enough" it's clear Lara doesn't show her naked to the gamers. On Chronicles I have a simple thought : Core didn't gives a damn about what they where doing at this point... I read on a french book about making Lara Nude was an idea from Eidos themself but Core didn't wanted to include that.
I think the shower scene on the first movie,and the side boob is the complete opposite of the one in TR2. Funny enough it's only on the Simon West version we had a "nude scene" and the others version of the scripts we had nothing like that. Even when she use
her body to talk with Terry Sheridan on COL it's the opposite of the games.
I guess Jolie didn't like TR but she has done it for a boost on her career and it work perfecly.
Recently I have handled an interview with Dave Stern the writer of the first and second novelisation of the Lara Croft : Tomb Raider movies (but not published for now) and he had said to me he didn't have seen the movies but want to try to see it. Colleary didn't like the script and called it barely a movie but he had his reasons. And I have made read to Dave Stern the script from Colleary and he like it better than the movie. They talk to me both about how they like the Lara and Dad relashionship.
