    She’s glaring at the camera while brandishing a weapon. That’s what this guy has a problem with – he’d rather she have a, a what? A neutral expression? An attempt at seduction? Sultry? Is ‘sultry’ the only expression allowed on the face of a female character? Some reverse angry-eyes-american-kirby bullshit.

      I mean, if you really wanted this to feel more like classic 90s Lara Croft you’d give her the red sunglasses and have her smirk at the camera instead of this AI yassification filter shit. These cumbrained morons are completely focused on the awooga aspect but they forget that old Lara was also a cartoonishly over the top badass in the vein of Duke Nukem or Serious Sam crossed with James Bond

      I would honestly enjoy it if they leaned more into that inherent silliness of her character instead of trying to turn her into a sympathetic gritty action hero who wants to make her dad proud or whatever because Lara Croft has to also be a role model. Her series is called TOMB RAIDER, she’s a rich asshole that loots priceless treasures
