As a former archaeology student, I'd just like to point out that dinosaurs have nothing to do with archaeology. You're thinking of palaeontology, which is part of geology. Archaeology is strictly human. This is the first time I've used my archaeology degree in 20 years. Also, great vid, as always!
@@masterofelectricity0 Why does "this is the first time I've used my archaeology degree in 20 years," actually sound like something Lara Croft would say? Lol. Jk.
@@Whimsy3692 lol i dont know about that. I was just laughing cause you hear all the time about people not being able to use a degree they got for a job. So that why I was laughing. lol

TR 2013 had Oni, Japanese demons, and an immortal queen. Rise had the immortal Katesh soldiers. Shadow has the Yaaxil, which are from another dimension. All TR games have supernatural and/or paranormal creatures.
@@AeternalisSanguis2013 was supposed to have more yokai, or japanese spirits... But they didn't push through. The renders on the artbook were really horrific. They were really trying to go for the japanese horror genre during preprod but decided to ultimately tone it down 😔
A lot of those offenses are directly linked to "ludonarrative dissonance", a concept popularized by the Uncharted series and its hero Nathan Drake, who is also a sensitive do-gooder in the cutscenes, yet murders a lot of people as part of the gameplay.
10) She wanted to get on to the stairs. The rocket was in the way 😆 9) The bedroom furniture won't make itself will it? She has to put something. 8) big deal, she wanted a knife to cut some fruit down at the bar. Relax. 7) she wanted to go for a walk. They wanted to stop her. As for the key, it was shinny man! 6) She was homeless ffs. How did you expect her to buy a ticket to see the ancient magufins inside? 5) Umm that's easy. Bottomless bag! Hermione made it cool in Harry Potter too. As for the others not carrying weapons, how is it her fault? 4) the girl has mental issues to begin with. She calls herself Lara croft? 3) in Lara's defense, they always attack her for some reason, even though they don't usually attack humans in real life. They seem vereeery keen on Lara though.. for some reason. 2) Heey. Natla wanted the beautiful round shinny Scion! 1) Again, they attacked her to begin with. And unlike the cats above, dinosaurs were very dangerous animals who attack humans on sight. You saw what happened to Jurassic park!
Aside from being responsible for the deaths of innocents (which is very bad) I find everything not so morally reprehensible. I mean really, who doesn’t want to steal artifacts of historic value?
You forgot Lara releasing Set in Egypt. Also in breaking into the museum, the guards carry handguns which are prohibited to UK civilians and justified probably being under Sophia's payroll. Many Japanese police do carry guns. At least the .38 service revolvers.
Assault weapons are banned throughout Polynesia,10 and the French Territories are alone in allowing private possession of handguns. Despite such limits not always being laid down in law, most jurisdictions allow only single-shot shotguns and small-calibre hunting rifles. Gun legislation in India The Arms Act, 1959 bans the sale and possession of firearms without a licence. Barring some exceptions - high-ranking government officials, defence officers, and select professional shooters - civilians are only allowed to own small arms that come under the Non-Prohibited Bore (NPB) category. You are allowed to use a firearm in China but it's only used for hunting if you have a hunting permit you're still not allowed to own a firearm. Other than the police and the military, no one in Japan may purchase a handgun or a rifle. Hunters and target shooters may possess shotguns and airguns under strictly circumscribed conditions. Even with those gun laws in those country I'm pretty sure there's probably a lot of stab deaths from knives in those countries.
Yeah, I dont think destroying atlantis was bad at all (it was either that or dooming the world) but she started the egyptian apocalypse just for the fun and giggles
@@slenderhatesmillennials195 I know, but she clearly read the warnings before stealing the shinny thing just for fun. sure, she takes the responsibility after, but she was going for the amulet just for the fun of doing it.
On the note of "killing endangered animals," the first cutscene of the original game has a magazine cover saying "Lara Stamps Out Bigfoot." The anniversary remake softens this to "Lara Bags Bigfoot," so at least there she didn't kill the last Bigfoot on Earth.
Me: I wonder why tigers are so few in numbers... Lara: Mah boy, our family has been shooting them for no reason all over the world for three generations
It reminds me on how the original creator of Lara Croft said he wanted to have her kill animals because in many games of it's time you killed a lo of people, but turns out not only people considered killing animals something cruel too but that she also killed endangered species, and in the end Lara turning in a killing machine with a large body count that would make Trevor from GTA blush.
I had 442 kills in Tomb Raider 2. Half of those were humans, the rest animals, including 2 T-Rexes and I am not sure if Mafia leader turned dragon counts as either.
I was expecting the Egyptian apocalypse. The fact that she left Von Croy to his presume death. The partial destruction of the great wall The fact she never indicated the aussie soldiers about going north in the crash site level Locking winston in the freezing room Good video, made me remember good old times
Man i love this channel. It's literally the one channel/content creator on TH-cam that gives me a homey/chill place. Always relaxed and laid back and get to share stuff were passionate about, not just strictly resident evil. And personally, I love Ky's personality.

@@InkRibbon I still can't get the intro of Veronica X outta my head. The jail warden's line _"Your number is the WKD4496. Welcome to your new home."_ is just iconic.
I mean OG lara was never a super hero. She was mostly in it for the sport of it. Her own gain was what she was after until it turned to the world being at stake
The killing of endangered animal should have been with the "killing dinosaurs". You might have forgotten how she.. uh.. literally RANSACKED Barkhang Monastery instead of politely asking the monks to lead her to the chamber to the Catacombs.
@@zenoheilmann7829 Hayst... You misinterpreted what I said. I mean, she broken windows and entered forbidden storerooms to get the prayer wheels and gemstones. And yes, she stepped on the statue of the altar. Imagine someone walking around the altar table of a Catholic Church.
@@motcrue64 No it's NOT my fault. Hayst... You misinterpreted what I said. I mean, she broken windows and entered forbidden storerooms to get the prayer wheels and gemstones. And yes, she stepped on the statue of the altar. That's not normal
She actually returns them the Seraph, the rest is gameplay and story segregation, if made into movies most levels would have less key searching and more dialogue.
To be fair about the guards in the natural history museum, those were not actual guards but Sophia Leigh's mercs in disguise: it is illegal to arm public security guards in the UK and the ones Lara kills carry pistols, same with the weird waterworks place beside St Paul's too. I know it's more a gameplay thing but it does make you think. Doesn't excuse Area 51 or the RX Tech crew in Antarctica though.(disregarding the point of the latter one's hostility is revealed in the game script)
I don’t see the point in them being in disguise if they were. The fact that they’re armed is hardly anymore unrealistic than anything else that happens in the game.
@@gilgamesh310 I did say the armed guards are meant to be an acceptable break from reality but it's a good explanation. You are right that attempting to disguise themselves as guards would be pointless, considering non-disguised hitmen show up in Thames Wharf on the rooptops and in a public bath house, as well as Sophia's divers in the sewers.
Considering Lara saved the world from Natla by doing so (even though she retrieved the Scion for her so that she could start the whole process), destroying Atlantis can't be as bad as killing dinosaurs (which were believed to be extinct, so it would be as bad as killing endangered species) or taking the Ankh that causes an Egyptian apocalypse (although that also meant she had to undo the whole process herself and risk her life in the process)
Interesting video. I liked the old 90s Tomb Raiders, but the combat in 2013 is so fun. What about when Lara Croft kills the pilot at end of Tomb Raider 3?
Exactly... And that whole argument of her killing guards with families and blah blah blah... Well the counter argument is they knew the risks when they signed up for the job.
Have to disagree with number 3. In all of presented instances, the tigers attacked Lara. Had she not defended herself, she would surely die. In #2, pretty sure she didn't mean to destroy Atlantis. It happened while trying to stop Natla which if she didn't, it would have been disasterous. #1 - same as number 3. Although yeah, it would have caused a massive backlash.
I mean. You got good points for sure. Then again though. When it comes to the animals that she shoots down I like to think that while there are certainly laws against killing endangered animals, I do think from her perspective that if a predator comes charging towards you and wants to attack and eat you "like they do in the games" then of course she's going to defend herself. Not saying it's okay to kill endangered animals but i think it's safe to say though that if we were in that situation, i don't think the laws would matter that much and you'd rather think of surviving by any means nessiserry.
If an endangered animals trying to hurt and kill you. You have to make a big decision kill the endangered animal or let the endangered animal kill you.
Nate is probably in the same boat as Lara outside of killing animals. He’s destroyed lost cities, had guns in places he’s not allowed to have them in, he’s also a confirmed criminal who’s been in jail multiple times so he shouldn’t have them in the first place, he’s a mass murderer, granted he only kills in self defense and he’s kept items he’s found over his adventures that he probably shouldn’t of been able to keep, especially things like bits of resin from Shambhala or Sir Francis Drakes Ciphering disk.
During Shadow, in regards to the "tsunami", there is a document you find telling you its not actually a tsunami, but Trinity diverting the river to cover their tracks. I can't be the only one who found that?
Reboot Tomb Raider Lara's "mass murder" could be considered self defense all the way throughout in her first game. Technically speaking, all inhabitants of the island would likely be considered pirates or equivalent...and most nations considered just nuking pirates A-OKAY. Also, killing a Rex with what appear to be .45 caliber handguns. Biologists would shit themselves for data and location information.
My aunt who played these games a lot really didn't like how Lara just outright shot and murdered that helicopter pilot later in Tomb Raider III. All he did was smile and was most likely innocent and oblivious to whatever was going on. . . 😐
Good video. Surprised you didn't mention Angel of Darkness. She's super verbally aggressive in that one, but it's still funny. I get the endangered animals thing, but if I was being attacked by anything I'd fight in self defense if there's no other option.
I'll be honest. You should need more than moving a dagger to cause the apocalypse. What if a rock fell on it or a bat crashed into it. I would've liked it to be it was going to happen anyway and the dagger was the thing to stop it. Anyway, there's a reason shadow is the worst one out of all three, still a good game tho.
My two favorite video games franchise ! Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 🤤❤️❤️❤️ I wish there was a remake of the first game but with more cutscenes, Lara’s expressions after watching all those dinosaurs and hidden cities etc, thing anniversary didn’t make, she’s quite pretty much the whole game, maybe she can say things, even add more enemies like native cannibal, more Natlas people etc.
1. Participating in government-sanctioned genocide (Metroid 2, resulted in the X population swelling out of control) 2. NOT killing the baby Metroid (arguably led to the destruction of the Ceres space colony) 3. Accidentally releasing the X on ZDR (although the planet blew up later so arguably this had no long-term consequences) 4. Uh... desertion? (Highly debatable) 5. Defacing an ancient Chozo mural (she was only a child though) 6. I guess she didn't make any effort to actually salvage the E.M.M.I.s, they were probably a very costly loss for the GFed 7. Mentally shutting down when she saw the clone of Ridley, causing Anthony to almost die 8. Apparently she forgot about The Deleter, or assumed Keiji was guilty, but it's a moot point since everyone but Anthony died 9. She collapsed a whole alternate dimension, but it was made of evil so I don't think it really counts. 10. In general she doesn't seem to care about the wildlife that gets in her way.
13:07 No, she's crazy. She has more blood on her hands than squad mate from a Call of Duty game. TR2 she butchered a cult all because of a item she wanted. And this plays out in microcasim in her other adventures. Everything would have been fine if she left 'well enough' alone.
Luds gate was a way for Lara to make it to Sophia Lee. The mummy fluid optional to help those faceless gang that Sophia test on them . Not really a key item, you can complete the normal level without helping them
So her killing people that are trying to kill her is okay, but her killing animals that are ALSO trying to kill her is wrong? Kinda hard to "leave them alone", when they aren't willing to do the same for you. And honestly, why is killing dinosaurs a bad thing? Haven't you seen any of those Jurassic Park/World movies?! If word got out that there were living dinosaurs out there, and said dinosaurs fell into the wrong hands, it would cause utter chaos! Lara did the world a favor, by ensuring their true extinction.
I know Lara Croft is not Regina from the Dino Crisis series, but the fact Lara managed to kill a T-REX is a nice surprise to hear, nice job on the worst things Lara Croft has done Ink Ribbon ✌️
Whenever I play, I try to get through the level with killing as few enemeys as possible. It's really fun and changeing to make it through the loss valley without killing the TREX and the colosseum without killing the lions and apes. Or even the human enemeys. I usually run past the cowboy guy in Natlia's mines.
Interesting sidenote from a UK resident: the shotgun licence is a perfectly accepted form of identification, accepted, should you need it, in Banks and Building Societies! I am not making that up! "Yep, it is me and I am allowed to own a sawn-off!" And raptors weren't mythical creatures, they existed! We have the skeletons to prove it!

Also, killing a Rex with what appear to be .45 caliber handguns. Biologists would shit themselves for data and location information.
Reboot's body count is in the 400s... I just replayed TR2 and my kills were like 442 or something. So... it was always like that.
How can I only now have found this collab of my two favourite gamer TH-camrs? Love you guys ❤
Looool I played Rise and Shadow this last year and I kept thinking about all the crimes she commits 😭
When you knew Raider cast before inc ribbon.
My aunt who played these games a lot really didn't like how Lara just outright shot and murdered that helicopter pilot later in Tomb Raider III. All he did was smile and was most likely innocent and oblivious to whatever was going on. . . 😐
Well, Lara and Regina are in trouble... they killed Dinosaurs. xD
10:16 LMAO she blew up a tiger with a rocket launcher XD
I liked that in Underworld they gave Lara a tranquilizer gun to shoot the endangered species.
Yeah, and made her cold blooded as hell towards that white hair chick (forgot her name) never seen her like that in other games
@@KnightBX Yeah... I totally forgot about that... Amanda didn't kill Lara's mother. She did nothing to her :(
Raidercast + Ink Ribbon = PERFECTION
Good video. Surprised you didn't mention Angel of Darkness. She's super verbally aggressive in that one, but it's still funny.
I get the endangered animals thing, but if I was being attacked by anything I'd fight in self defense if there's no other option.
I'll be honest. You should need more than moving a dagger to cause the apocalypse. What if a rock fell on it or a bat crashed into it. I would've liked it to be it was going to happen anyway and the dagger was the thing to stop it. Anyway, there's a reason shadow is the worst one out of all three, still a good game tho.
Lara locked Winston up in a freezer. And shot him with his dual pistols in the training course.
And she also locked Winston in the freezer.
''Killing dinosaurs'' is killed me xDD
8:29 FULLY AUTOMATIC UZIS ARE BANNED IN USA! She carries a pair from India. If she goes to other stages first, also an MP5 machine gun.
Yesss awesome crossover with Raidercast!! 🥳
This was hilarious! 🤣 I'm surprised that she left one pilot to die while she outright murdered another one wasn't on this list.
I've only recently found your videos and I was enjoying them...then I saw this one with Raidercast. Now I'm in love.
Never saw Lara this way. Great video! 😄
My two favorite video games franchise !
Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 🤤❤️❤️❤️
I wish there was a remake of the first game but with more cutscenes, Lara’s expressions after watching all those dinosaurs and hidden cities etc, thing anniversary didn’t make, she’s quite pretty much the whole game, maybe she can say things, even add more enemies like native cannibal, more Natlas people etc.
sorry ... but I preferer the new Lara Croft instead the old Lara Croft .
@@tiagopereirasantossilva556 thanks to the old u got the new girl called Lara Croft
@@rodrywtf6136 it is true
Welp, as a Metroid and Tomb Raider Fan I can tell you that Samus Aran definitely deserves to have a list like this of her own
1. Participating in government-sanctioned genocide (Metroid 2, resulted in the X population swelling out of control)
2. NOT killing the baby Metroid (arguably led to the destruction of the Ceres space colony)
3. Accidentally releasing the X on ZDR (although the planet blew up later so arguably this had no long-term consequences)
4. Uh... desertion? (Highly debatable)
5. Defacing an ancient Chozo mural (she was only a child though)
6. I guess she didn't make any effort to actually salvage the E.M.M.I.s, they were probably a very costly loss for the GFed
7. Mentally shutting down when she saw the clone of Ridley, causing Anthony to almost die
8. Apparently she forgot about The Deleter, or assumed Keiji was guilty, but it's a moot point since everyone but Anthony died
9. She collapsed a whole alternate dimension, but it was made of evil so I don't think it really counts.
10. In general she doesn't seem to care about the wildlife that gets in her way.
I’ll forgive her considering she has saved the entire earth several times XD
From her mistakes lol
@@maniestranger4329 XD
I was thinking old Lara
13:07
No, she's crazy. She has more blood on her hands than squad mate from a Call of Duty game. TR2 she butchered a cult all because of a item she wanted. And this plays out in microcasim in her other adventures. Everything would have been fine if she left 'well enough' alone.
Luds gate was a way for Lara to make it to Sophia Lee. The mummy fluid optional to help those faceless gang that Sophia test on them . Not really a key item, you can complete the normal level without helping them
An ancient thing or artifact exist*
Lara croft : is this mine?
I'm sorry, but Atlantis was destroyed because it was posing a threat to all of humanity due to Natla's misuse of their technology.
It was justified.
I agree. By no means the worse thing Lara or any real person could do.
Besides, who's going to miss it?
two questions: 1) why use all those anniversary shots, 2) Since when is Lara an Archaeologist and 3) good video, I enjoyed it a lot
So her killing people that are trying to kill her is okay, but her killing animals that are ALSO trying to kill her is wrong? Kinda hard to "leave them alone", when they aren't willing to do the same for you.
And honestly, why is killing dinosaurs a bad thing? Haven't you seen any of those Jurassic Park/World movies?! If word got out that there were living dinosaurs out there, and said dinosaurs fell into the wrong hands, it would cause utter chaos! Lara did the world a favor, by ensuring their true extinction.
THANKS!
I've been perusing the subreddit and I was starting to think I lost my head since no one acknowledges this
01:18 "...back in the 90s, Lara did it before it was cool." I love the way Raidercast says that so unapologetically! 🤣
It’s almost as if the people who created her were developing a caricature of British colonials, but in the body of a hot athlete, and it worked.
5:05 this is exactly the kinds of things I questioned while playing these kinds of games as a kid lol
will they ever remake TR2 and TRIII? I need them so bad...
I know Lara Croft is not Regina from the Dino Crisis series, but the fact Lara managed to kill a T-REX is a nice surprise to hear, nice job on the worst things Lara Croft has done Ink Ribbon ✌️
Whenever I play, I try to get through the level with killing as few enemeys as possible. It's really fun and changeing to make it through the loss valley without killing the TREX and the colosseum without killing the lions and apes. Or even the human enemeys. I usually run past the cowboy guy in Natlia's mines.
Gotta love the thumbnail with lara having claire redfields prisoner number
07:19 - Magical Mary Poppins backpack!
I kill dinosaurs every time I eat chicken wings.
Interesting sidenote from a UK resident: the shotgun licence is a perfectly accepted form of identification, accepted, should you need it, in Banks and Building Societies! I am not making that up! "Yep, it is me and I am allowed to own a sawn-off!"
And raptors weren't mythical creatures, they existed! We have the skeletons to prove it!
Please do a top 10 worst things kratos has ever done
Even a hero has to do terrible things
anyone remember when the mona lisa had a :| face rather than damn near winking at us???
for real that painting used to have a mildly pissed off look
Okay killing Dinosaur is probably for the best considering what Jurassic park has taught us.
She blew up the Great Wall of China! 😂
Awesome video dawg
You can't kill tigers, they are so rare.
No one talks about killing the first T-rex to be seen ever.
All four T-Rexes to be seen in main story alone... now we know why they extincted. :3
In tomb Raider 3 she wiped out an entire remote village 😭
I always feel bad killing the guards in the Natural History Museum, they're just at work!
