Roth's daughter, Richard's daughter, Reyes's daughter... who cares?
There should be no daddy issues in the next game, that's all that matters. Lara's father shouldn't be mentioned even as a joke. It's getting annoying. I know this is a spoof thread, but could you imagine people ruminating over Heshingly Croft and Amelia back in 1996? This truly is the cursed timeline. |

this sounds plausible
also i think winston never really existed and it was roth dressed up as an old man all along so he could "play cards" with amelia every night in secret plus jonah is actually sam |

I'll be honest, I opened this thread thinking it was something ridiculous, but I took the time to read it all, including the tidbit about Amelia being classic Lara and reboot Lara being her daughter. It all actually kind of make sense... I'm just not sure Crystal's writers actually do possess the wits and acumen for writing such a bold meta narrative. Crystal's rebooted stories are always too ambitious with poor execution. They're *good*, but not reaching for the stars like they're clearly trying to be.
IDK, I'm just inclined to believe this was a series of coincidences. I like Crystal's games in general, but writing is one of their weakest suits and I don't give them the credit for being able to pull this off. This is also why from the narrative standpoint Legend is their best game. It's light hearted and fun, like a pop corn movie. TRL doesn't want you to sink into your feelings about something devastating or think about the plight of modern humanity. It wants you to watch and enjoy. |

I honestly do not wanna get into this rabbit hole cuz it just looks like the cries of a man stuck in quarantine for too long. I do really relate, though. Last edited by Rai; 19-01-21 at 18:19. Reason: Double post merged |

CD got alot of flack for their unwieldy writing in Underworld. I remember making a thread at the time after Underworlds release begging them to hire professional script writers. They knew they had to up their game so they came out with the heavy artillery. I think they knocked the reboot's story out of the park, so much so that it was directly lifted into a major motion picture hollywood blockbuster movie. Rise and Shadow let the mythology theme pull the story away from Lara's character development too much, but Reboot was ALL about Lara's backstory, from her working at a bar, to her father's band of friends, to her best friends father's wealth funding the trip, to Jonah's back story. The whole theme of that game was every character having a rich history. Roth and Amelia being Lara's real parents was snuck in under the radar with all the noise of the other character's backstories going on. Very sly CD!!!! Very sly. Quote:
