She will never "become the Tomb Raider" because then you can constantly reinvent her while pretending she will eventually become the character we love at an unspecified point that NEVER ARRIVES. Then you can manipulate people to buy games with a different lead character by using their affection for the franchise to keep their money coming in
The funny thing is that Lara from "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" is a mass murderer. In no Tomb Raider game are so many people killed as in the reboot games, sometimes in a really brutal way. Nevertheless, she is now supposed to be a kind of hero that the whole family can enjoy.
This is one of the most ridiculous things in reboot. She cries in cutscenes, and then immediately kills 30 people in gameplay in a particularly brutal way. Then the next cutscene comes along and she cries again.
You know... I REALLY wanted someone to make a game that is a litteral copy of 90s Tomb Raider, name the hero something silly like Sarah Soft, just so they could tell Crystal Dinamics "No, it's not the same character, Lara Croft is a hero, a seeker of truth, our character is a thief, a litteral tomb raider". I just want to see what would be their answer to that, lmao!
Let it go. They want you to care, that's why they are targeting it. You have to become immune. The worst thing for them is if you simply don't care and move on.

I've also just got to the part about supposedly making Lara more "accessible." Lara always was, though. She was a straightforward, adventurous, easy to pick up character that was about as accessible as you could get-- much more so then modern versions with emotional baggage. But the woke must maintain the story that they are more well-adjusted, enlightened, liberal etc, while anything from the past must be narrow, inaccessible, unenlightened, etc etc and must be replaced by our new criteria
The 90s Laura Croft. Not a shock there. Their reboot failed so they will draw off the original franchise in hopes to trick the old school fans into watching, only to bait n switch em.
Melonie roasting her makes me laugh hard. " Have you ever played a video game in your life etc". I mean ngl when I read that article as well i was thinking similar.
They did this to Carmen Sandiego. Instead of adapting both femme fatales as we know them, Netflix changed their morality to always catch and release artifacts to the good guys. This She-ro conversion project is mind numbing.
I knew I wasn't the only one who disliked Netflix's Carmen San Diego! I haven't watched the show, but only because I have no desire to. I played the game as a kid, and Carmen was an elusive criminal. The game was mainly an educational one too. I imagine a better show would be to focus on the detective trying to catch Carmen, and only ever show us her silhouette w/ the red coat and hat. Hence, "where in the world is Carmen San Diego?"
The thing is as soon Netflix, Amazon makes a show. I just assume they have zero idea what they are on about and write off whatever they make in my head. I remeber playing the orginal games. Than I really tryed to play the moden Tomb Raider games but they where nothing like the orginal care free platformers with shooting in them. They had to give Lara a personality and it was whiny and boring. I what Lara to be this awesome tresure hunting attractive amazon that has two guns.
90's Lara: "That looks cool." *YOINK* Seriously 90s Lara is a menace. She only ever "did the right thing" because she was the reason shit hit the fan. In 1 it was Natla getting the Scion pieces off of her and in 4 because she freed Set.
When I first think of Lara Croft I think of the reboot games but that's because they are the only ones I've played and I love them so I have a different perception. But I can understand people that played the older games feels more nostalgic to classic Lara Croft. I'm not a fan of how the anime styled series look or seems to be though.
Can we just get an old school TR4.5, taking place in a collapsed pyramid, and TRC takes place afterwards? And lets just retcon anything anything that came afterwards....
It’s truly just painful to be a fan at this point. I regret supporting 2013 so hard at the time (because it was fun and different) had I known this is where it was leading. The remasters are proving to be an absolute miracle every time they start talking about the mainline series. As an actual LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER fan, just give me remasters of The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and Angel of Darkness so I can call it a day. Watching her walk away into the dark truly was the last time we will ever see her. 😢
Isn’t it funny how they want to turn our righteous heroes into edgy antiheroes, and they want to turn our compelling antiheroes into goody two shoes do-gooders? So annoying.
Those people working on todays videogames and netflix series dont have the slightest clue, of how much better EVERYTHING was in the 90s, then the stuff theyre developing. EVERYTHIIIIING!!!!!!!!! I dont care, even if its some bad stuff like Bubsy 3D, its still better then that "its for everybody" sludge theyre doing nowadays. Bubsy 3D has more creativity and imagination then those feminist landwhales masquerading as artists
Netflix is just going to F this all over the place just like they did to Castlevania. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if she scissors her way to get special double ended artifacts... Look what they did to Alucard.
Thrift Shop Raider handed relics by sweet old ladies on a pension. (the jokes write themselves) Legends is a cakewalk of a game but it did help me get over my bitterness towards AOD, Anniversary was a solid remake with a nice soundtrack imo but classic 90's will forever hold a torch in my heart.
Since we will probably never get another good new Tomb Raider game, I am hoping that we will at least get remasters of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation and Chronicles…even though I have physical copies of both of those games.
28:33 I really love how the wokesters constantly claim to love and care about these beloved established characters and themes of the past, yet all they ever want to do is Change them into something Different so They can see Themselves in those characters and themes.. Typical Demonology if you ask me.. smh
I am looking forward to October 10, 2024......so I can add this title to my block list on Netflix. When I heard about this series, I was initially excited, then that interest faded as soon as I realised it was based on a series of games I have never played. I miss the original Natla, I always wanted a movie or series based on Tomb Raider I. I started with Tomb Raider I and appreciated most of the games up to TR6/AOD, then slowly lost interest in what came after. Whatever we have now isn't Lara and Tomb Raider I grew up with. that will only get worse with each new release in the retgon series. Does it ever occur to anyone that the artefacts Lara keeps in the original games are devices that bring about mass destruction? Therefore those artefacts should be kept secured to avoid nefarious individuals selling them to the highest bidder or using them for global domination&destruction. Is Melonie getting a tension headache from reading this article?
18:12 LMAO so the villain is described as a character foil to the protag, this is writing 101! this is NOT revolutionary, this is the basics! 😂 and the writer saying she’s afraid of tomb raiding? what’s the series called?! how can you drop a franchise whose premise is in the title???😭
Dear employer, My name is Lara Croft and I am available for any freelancing archeological work. Will work in tombs but haven't done so in ages so will kindly avoid them if possible. Please find attached my CV, Portfolio and a degree is Social Studies.
They're trying to go after Legacy of Kain next womp womp. I hope they don't ruin it with wokeness. Legacy of Kein is all about prophecy, grim dark fantasy, and toxic masculinity which is what makes it great. I hate what they're doing to Tomb Raider snd Perfect Dark its the worst.
"'She will become the Tomb Raider.' Well, it's been 11 years, now. Why isn't she the Tomb Raider yet?" That was my view upon seeing the ROTR gameplay (minus however many years.) I like the idea of having a partner for cooperative play. Even in the very first mission of the first game, she had a guide. They could easily have a local around for missions. The cooperative play doesn't need to be symmetrical, and they don't need to have conversations or quips, and it can be completely optional (not even in cutscenes or dialogue) if it's done right. They can change the story and character. Just give me an evolution of that classic gameplay. TR wasn't about the story, Lara's personality, or even Lara's body (that order is least- to most-talked-about.) TR was about the gameplay: gymnastics, the environments, the enemies, the puzzles, the combat, etc. That's what people talked about in school. That's what kept people playing and buying sequels.
Fml I’ve just heard the part about people around Lara reasoning with her. More unneeded moral compass from other character. These writers really left their degree thinking they’ve got some skill by writing every character the same and adding elements to established characters that aren’t apart of their character. Mario ain’t got people on the sidelines putting him through the motions. I’d literally rather Lara be a mute than have these writers keep giving her normal people issues.
At least I know, What; Shows (Not to watch) now. As for 0:25-0:50 *Reboot;* we alrdy did that. She's called *Alicia Vikander* (2018) - Spouse of Fasbender. From *The halls of Valhalla in Nordic* Went to Uni with a Classmate whom used to train (with her) in The Same *Balette School*
Sounds a lot like these people would struggle with Jak and Daxter or Crash Bandicoot. And I beat all the Jak and Daxter games by the time I was out of high school.
Why don’t they just make their own lame cave girl, instead of literally ruining our character for their own ideologies like where’s the creativity nowadays
It's not a good look. Laura is neutral, steals stuff from tombs, and usually does the right thing when given a moral choice. Lara Croft never needed rebranding, she just needs to fight apes and dogs with her guns and solve tricky puzzles.
There’s also a failure of these people to read the room when it comes to this stuff and the fact that it’s not just the hardcore fans who don’t want this stuff but also the average audience members who they’re trying to appeal to.
Artists with some guts & care would just make a true sequel with the real Lara doing a Frank Miller and being her real age of today at 56 and still kicking butt!
I don't want a "unified" Lara Croft, I don't ever want to see a "Classic" Lara with: -Pickaxe -Bow and arrow -No pistol/Single pistol -Jade necklace -A plain pony tail -Long pants -short legs

They are out for all the characters we love

Mel, how much you want to bet they're going to say the reboot Lara ties into this Netflix disaster TR show? The reboot was already a disaster to begin with.
