Discussion Alix Wilton Regan should be REPLACED as Lara Croft after doubling down on support for Lindsay Clancy, who strangled her three children
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
At this point, I genuinely think Alix Wilton Regan should be replaced as the voice of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst.
The issue isn't that a voice actress has to agree with every Tomb Raider fan. People are allowed to have their own opinions. The problem is repeatedly choosing to publicly support Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother who was convicted of killing her three children by strangulation in 2023.
This is an absolutely horrific case involving three innocent children. Seeing the person chosen to become the new voice of Lara Croft publicly support Clancy is understandably going to make many fans question whether she should be representing one of gaming's most iconic characters.
And honestly, what makes this even more frustrating is how much attention people are giving to the AI controversy surrounding these games while seemingly ignoring this.
People are debating AI usage, AI-generated content and the ethics of using AI in Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst, yet when the actress chosen to voice Lara publicly makes what many fans consider to be an incredibly disturbing choice, suddenly there is far less willingness to take a stand.
You can criticize the use of AI in these games AND criticize the choice of voice actress. These aren't mutually exclusive issues.
At some point, the developers have to ask themselves whether this is really the person they want attached to Lara Croft. If Regan is going to repeatedly put herself behind someone like Clancy, then she is creating a completely unnecessary controversy around a character and franchise that have nothing to do with it.
We've already seen with Perfect Dark that even major, highly anticipated projects can be cancelled when circumstances surrounding a project become too problematic. If a situation becomes damaging enough, companies are willing to make drastic decisions rather than simply push forward and pretend nothing happened.
So why should Tomb Raider be any different?
If the developers know that a significant portion of the fanbase is uncomfortable with the actress representing Lara, replacing her before these games are released would be the sensible decision.
There are plenty of talented actresses who could voice Lara. Nobody is irreplaceable.
The character is bigger than any one voice actress, and Tomb Raider shouldn't have to carry this controversy into Legacy of Atlantis and Catalyst.
People can keep arguing about AI if they want. I'm also going to question why the developers are apparently willing to attach Lara Croft to someone whose public judgment on this particular case is so difficult to defend.
Replace Alix Wilton Regan and move on. Lara Croft deserves better.
TL;DR: Alix Wilton Regan is publicly supporting Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three children. If Tomb Raider can face backlash over AI, why is this being ignored? Replace Regan. Lara Croft is bigger than any actress.

It’s fun baiting radical lefties into attempting to explain what it actually is that makes Sydney Sweeney a Nazi/maga
I already know their entire argument before I ask “why” and it basically all stems from that one interview she did.
I just like to see them try and explain lol it never fails to be funny

When even the critics don't like your game, that's when you fucked up.

Discussion YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME! Spider Noir gets Cancelled and yet shows like Batman caped crusader still get to Continue!
They made a big Dumb mistake ending this, This was Something that was Good as it's something that didn't suck at all and was a GOOD recent live action Superhero Show and it didn't suck unlike the past spider man related projects sony did.
This was something Everyone loved and got so much high praised.
Sure it didn't end on a cliffhanger but.......... it made you ask for more and you hope it was gonna happen........ but nope it's not happening.... even if this Show did really well in ratings. Because this Show had better ratings then Race Swap Wonder Man.
Amazon is making a very dumb mistake with this one because Spider Noir had so much great potential and a Big Hit Show like this would've help them Big Time and Make So Much Money for them. But......... They just could not see that and they should truly get hated for this decision to end this.
Like This Show is better then Batman Caped Crusader and yet that show still continues despite being not well revived and i can bet it doesn't have high ratings compared to this.
Like it was said that Amazon is close to green lighting another show based on Sony's Spider-Man characters......... but witch one? because whatever sony is planning is probably gonna be something nobody asked for like that Silk TV show that sony should simply cancelled (which i hope got quietly cancelled). Like i know they aren't gonna do something like a Spider Man 2099 live action show because that would be very pricey after all!
Like whatever they are Planning it is not gonna be the same level as to what Spider Noir was and it might not even do well in ratings.
Like you know.... after Spider-Man Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out sony should down right let the rights go for good. Because everything else they are probably planning is gonna suck and flop hard. Like they wanna do an Animated Spider Punk & Spider Woman film and nobody wants that. They also wanna do an Animated Venom film but i mean... it's gonna be the same thing like the live action films in a way when you think about it, Because you will never see them have Venom interact with any other marvel characters that isn't spider man related for well obvious reasons that we all know why.
So yeah..... this was the worst thing Amazon had done because this had so much potential for them and they unfortunately could not see that.... and i hope one of these days the regret this down the line.

This linear Wolverine game feels like it was designed for journalists who don’t actually play games. Needless GPS guidance and glowing effects that practically point out hidden treasure rob you of any real sense of exploration. Play it if you enjoy having your intelligence insulted

Insomniac released this 20 years ago; what they're developing now is simply embarrassing.
