@@samlugano737What? You do realise Crystal also made the LAU games right? Literally some of the best games in the whole franchise, legend at least. And the new ones are pretty well liked now it’s just recently they’ve been fucking it up.

Wally bridge burner would never post a video playing of the original Lara Croft games cus she'd be a laughing stock at just how rubbish she'll be failing to even get past the 1st section of Tomb Raider 1. It'd be more funnny than that angry German kid throwing a fit.
Same but I'm a cynical old fart and already know it's going to be absolutely disgusting. Angelina is as close to OG Tomb Raider as you'd want but now they wanna give Tomb Raider the Indiana Jones dial of disentary treatment 🤢🤮
They wanted a director who would align with the direction prechosen. Hiring a credible director might result in that director rejecting “modern message” embedding.
That sabre interactive should make spin-offs! (like tomb raider 3 part 2, part 3 , etc) using the level editor, and create another 10 games based on the original first 6 games, and would sell like gold
Ooooh~ yes, please, M. Do that video. I have been getting back into the franchise after playing the survivor trilogy and really enjoying getting my revenge on these games from my childhood... even if I'm currently on a Cyberpunk binge. I need to get back to doing those streams.
Having FWB play Lara is the same as having Worzel Gumage play 007, she helped tanked 'the dial of dysentery' and this will be the case with Lara. Nicely covered Melonie Mac.
I just watched The Critical Drinker rip apart the Netflix Tomb Raider show and highly encourage everyone to do the same. It’s a great way to spend 10 minutes.
That's Not a accurate Lara Croft either, it's also equally terrible adaptation the only reason One could like it is because they watched it first I know. A lot of people who watched new one first and loved it more than the previous ones that's how mindset works, but in reality there has never been a good adaptation of Lara Croft in any media other than it's original video games and it's series.
Crystal Dynamics really only needed to adjust the story slightly to address concerns about OG Lara. They could have shown her collaborating with international governments to locate and preserve valuable artifacts or working with local museums to share her discoveries. She could even be gifted items as a thank you for her contributions. This approach would not only showcase respect for various cultures but also strengthen Lara's role model status, presenting her as a celebrated adventurer sharing her findings. In the original 1996 game, she was even featured on a magazine cover for finding Bigfoot, highlighting her status as a public icon. This shows how she was idolized as a tough, fearless character from the beginning. Classic Lara was a trailblazer, and with a bit of creative storytelling, her adventures could continue to inspire today. The only thing holding her back now is the lack of writing that stays true to her original spirit while keeping her stories fresh and not alienating the fans.
I wish I could fail miserably at my job and then get a promotion and salary increase over it while spitting on the customers. Nah...I wont claim that...I have to live with myself and I'm not that shallow.
If they're going to change Lara from her original design.. Instead of manly and ugly. They can make lara like Melonie Mac. Devoted to faith, fighter for justice, and most of all absolutely gorgeous. Since they're changing, may as well change to something good.
This channel makes it easy to figure out what games we should be buying and the ones to skip. I bought 4 copies of the first three Tomb raider remakes for support. Steam for pc, digital for Switch and pre ordered the special edition for Switch and Ps5.
@MelonieMacGoBoom , you know, you kinda look a bit like Lara Croft's modern look from the last trilogy of games. I'd be more inclined to see you perform the role than who they actually picked. I bet you could do some justice and become a badass Lara Croft! 😃
Even if they had made Laura look like Haley Atwell, it wouldve been better than what we got. However, I think the vast majority of people would be totally cool with it if she just looked almost exactly like Angelina Jolie
The 2018 movie failed to break even. The past couple reboot games failed to make a profit. The animated series doesn't appear to be on track to make a profit. I highly, HIGHLY doubt a Phoebe Waller Bridge movie would make a profit considering the 2018 movie didn't, and it didn't have any major controversies. Lara Croft is one of the most iconic video game characters in the world, and arguably the face of female video game characters. Her games, movies, and animated series are not making money, and yet they're STILL wanting to make more, which in my opinion is proof that it's not necessarily about making money, but rather reshaping culture in their image.
@@zenicehero9154 The last two Tomb Raider games had high budgets and failed to make expectations, and the 2018 movie didn't break even. A "decent box office" doesn't mean losing money.
Bridge said Legend is her favourite. And that it was hard. No TR TLR was hard on my first playthrough back when it was released. Legend is watered DOWN. Legend is about right for her mentality.
@@MelonieMacGoBoom I have been a fan of Tomb Raider since 1996. I used to look forward to every new TR game on PS1 or PlayStation as I like to call it. PS1 for the younger gen haha I would sit and play each new game when it came out. No other game would get a look in. It was TR until each game was finished. A bit of it every day until it was complete. Rise of the Tomb Raider (Dumbnamics game) I have never finished it. Last save file date was 5/Feb/2019. The series has fallen so far over the years. I recently got the last three TR's Dumbnamics made for under £15 pn PSN. So I will give that series a go see if it has aged better since I gave up in 2019.
@@MelonieMacGoBoom Thank you for the kind words Melonie. They mean a lot. And it is true. I am a long time fan of the series. I would take one new game done PS1 style to 5 new games modern style. The modern games are good adventure titles. But to me they are not Tomb Raider.
It must be so infuriating being the devs that created the original Lara all those years ago to see what their creation has become and whose evil claws are in it now. Or any character/ip that is a shell of what it used to be.
Just about everything is douchebags make is garbage the love the compassion for video games has fortunately not died there is a way that we can come back from all of this but we're going to have to suffer until somebody gets some balls
the remasters were there just to make some money which then can be funnelled into making the changes in the future, they then turned out to be well received.
Pretty much the only good thing that CD added to TR was the difficulty settings allowing you to separate combat, exploration, and puzzles. Yet, they didn't even do it well. For one thing, they locked the hardest settings behind a mode that restricts you to saving at campfires, meaning that you'll have to replay the boring walking segments if you die because the physics are so broken and inconsistent.
Saber Interactive has been killing it lately. They did Space marine 2 as well and come off as a pretty based dev studio. They are doing the KOTOR remake as well. With them I hold some slight hope but am still in a wait and see attitude.
The things they said about Tomb Raider remind me of what they said of Rrrings of Powerrr. "We are honoring Tolkien by making it our own." Even though everybody knows the truth.
Melonie Mac, you keep informing about Lara Croft of what's going on, and it feels like there's a Civil War inside the company and we should keep supporting the Real Classic Lara Croft by buying the game and encourage Gamers to buy the games.
The big problem is they probably only have the rights to the Crystal Dynamics version and lore while everybody prefer and love the Core Design Lara and its Lore.
If you want another reason to hate 'The Legend of Lara Croft', I saw someone point out that the dress they gave her for the gala is the colors of the bi flag 😒
At first I also felt like it was important to protect 'Normies' from being exposed to bad films based on great games but it finally dawned on me: Why? If they were interested they would've played the games like the rest of us - they didn't and don't care so why should I invest time worrying about it? Let them eat cake.
I’d rather see Angelina jolie come back as an older Lara Croft than see Phoebe Waller bridge play her.
Jolie still has a lot of Lara's features, she would nail it
Remember that before Angelina Jolie, Rhona Mitra almost got the Role and she made a more authentic Lara than Angelina.
