I have no doubt that the reboot trilogy brings joy to a lot of people (me included), but I think that people need to exercise a little critical thinking when it comes to how Lara is portrayed vs how she was originally. They are completely different characters. You may prefer the new interpretation better, but that's simply Lara in name only.

The gap between LAU Lara vs Classic is far less extreme, and yet they still have slight differences. That's mainly due to story though, not character. A lot more palatable.

Basically, what I'm saying is that it's all subjective and one person's trash can be another person's gold. Don't take it personally.

I agree — what I’m saying is the phrasing might hurt someone and is obviously causing some issues. There’s a difference between saying “what you like is trash” and saying “i don’t like this, it’s trash”. The former is much more personal than the latter and I can understand how others might feel slighted by it.

Ultimately, they’ve teased Lara ‘becoming the Tomb Raider’ , ‘becoming the Lara we know’ or ‘becoming who she is meant to be’ for three games now and even Dallas kinda implied on the Raidercast interview that reboot Lara isn’t fully cooked and there’s work still to be done on her character. It’s fine if people like reboot Lara and on 2013 there was a a good base there imo but people will expect Lara Croft to be a certain way - because anything else is not ‘the Lara we know and love’ .
