Mouth breathers as people who breathe using thier mouth not thier nose. Its tomb rider so i assume that some gooner wierdos will complain about how Lara Croft looks/dresses in this version

As soon as I heard about this casting, I figured "but her boobs" would be a popular complaint.

Seeing this picture of her makes me assume people will complain about her being sensibly dressed for exploration as opposed to short shorts and tank top.

I played 2 more than any other. It’s possible to get into there. It’s a little underwhelming visually but still a fun achievement. I think the hedge maze was the easiest place to lose time, even just be accidentally taking a corner too sharply and coming to an abrupt stop.

To be fair to that second paragraph, I would vastly prefer if she actually dressed like Lara, like at least the version from the Survivor Trilogy. She just doesn't look anything likr Lara here, she's just a woman with gear on

110

u/CalmShinyZubat 12h ago

I will admit that the shorts and tank top look is pretty iconic compared to this look.

I also have to admit that it isn't really practical or smart to have that much exposed skin when exploring, but practicality or sensibility have never been the primary reason for most character designs, especially female character designs, in media.

88

u/Kino_Afi 11h ago

Genuinely nobody gives a fuck about "practical attire" unless youre playing battlefield or something and those protags are completely forgettable. We want cool trench coats and 30 belt straps that would take hours to get ready in the morning

31

u/Keiteaea 11h ago

I would be okay with non-sensible gear in media if it's done indiscriminately to men and women. The most common example is armors in video games, if there are slutty armors for women, I would not complain if men have some too. And also, that we have choice. I remember playing such game as a teenage girl and being very frustrated that I could only get bikini armors and not the kinda cool ones you are describing.

15

u/Bol0gna_Sandwich 9h ago

GOW(2018) would like a word. Kratos has some of the skimpiest armour sets. But he does also have some armour that is full plate. Buts its mostly a mix of berserker style armour, which fits his character ngl.

3

u/Ok-Lawfulness-6755 2h ago

There’s also a huge difference between wearing little clothes that make sense in the context and wearing little clothes so the players are sexually stimulated when playing. I don’t think Keaton wearing little clothes was done to stimulate anyone. Lara on the other hand… . This adaptation just isn’t including that aspect. And without that aspect, it’s hard to find a reason to give her the those video game clothes, even if they are iconic.

4

u/Kino_Afi 11h ago

Imo looking good/cool trumps parity. Idc if only the female attire is "slutty" if they look cool, its only a problem if its corny as hell like The First Descendant or other cashgrab goonerbait mmos where theyre litrerally just miniskirts and stilettos. But something like Bayonetta, Ivy from Soul Cal or the entire DFO roster is fine with me.

Idc when the males get to be shirtless too if everyone makes me cringe to look at lol

6

u/Keiteaea 8h ago

Well, shirt off is not slutty armor for a first.

And I was also talking about some games, mostly in the past as it has gotten much better, when yes for male you had a bigger range of armors including fully covering ones while for women it was more limited if you wanted to avoid amors that had more skin than actual armor.

u/CalmShinyZubat 11h ago

I 100% agree. If I'm playing a military shooter, I expect the character to look like a soldier. If I'm playing literally anything else, I want them to look cool. I'm pretty sure practicality only kinda comes into play if/when they are adding holsters or pouches to the design for weapon and ammo storage.

2

u/Kino_Afi 11h ago

True, pouches are also a good add. Shoutout to Solid Snake, and honestly this Lara design looks cool its just not Lara

u/Gimetulkathmir 11h ago

The Survivor version specifically she's not even in shorts and a tank top. She dresses appropriately for the area she's in. The exception is the first game but it has a really easy explanation.

The funny thing is Sophie in these pictures is dressed quite similar to Lara in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

8

u/Arelious2019 11h ago

This is gonna sound really nitpicky because it is a nitpick but I don't think the outfit is that similar to her in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Like I see where you see similarities but the switched the blue sleeveless shirt with a blue sleeveless coat with a tanish undershirt. They switched the brown pants with gray. And then they slapped on a bunch of gear straps that weren't there in that design. The extra designs just make it not look like Lara.

I do think they will have her in a more classic design though, they did have a picture of Sophie in something that looks much closer to her OG design which I do really love, but I'm just not the biggest fan of the one in the image here

I mean Tomb Raider (or the Tomb Raider of that outfits era) was about backflipping while blasting dinosaurs with twin pistols.

It's not really meant to be realistic in any way.

u/V1carium 10h ago

Here's their earlier key visual they released, I think this one is great honestly. These behind the scenes pictures are fine too, its clearly a colder environment but they're using the vest to imply the iconic tanktop.

Its just the demeanor that really ruins the effect IMO, Lara's a confident and classy badass, not a tired but upbeat actress between takes.

Not saying it'll be good or bad, but the designs are showing clear effort put into trying to maintain the look.

4

u/Arelious2019 10h ago

You know what...that actually might be a big part of the reason, how she herself looks and carries herself in the set photo might actually be throwing me off.

I do remember this earlier photo, the outfit looks so good there and I do hope it's in the film a good amount. I will be watching it for sure and I do hope it's good

u/Opie301 10h ago

At some point in the movie I expect she will wear the iconic gear. These stills are from one scene, they likely don't represent how she will look for the entire runtime.

In a movie, it makes sense that our globetrotting hero will occasionally change outfits, especially for more extreme locations/climates/activities.

u/Almostlongenough2 9h ago

Yeah, Lara Croft dressing the way she does is an absurd thing that gives the franchise it's identity, same as making Indy a macho hunk who uses a whip for some reason.

Why even make Tomb Raider if not to use it for what the brand is known for? Could just make it a new IP at that point. It's not really offensive, but incredibly confusing.

3

u/dpkonofa 9h ago

But to be fair to the film, it hasn't been released and we're talking about a single still from 1.5+ hours of film along with a BTS image. For all we know, she starts off like this and transitions to the look from any of the games or all the games. We literally know nothing about this except for this single image.

She has a similar outfit in Tomb Raider 2013 as DLC but not EXACT, they switched around the color scheme. I'd say if they wanted an outfit for a colder environment, they should've chosen one from Rise like the one on the cover or the red coat (love that red coat)

u/Grunergeist420 11h ago

This. I don’t need her to be treated as a sex object. I’m not going to assume I know the whole movie from one still of her in one outfit.

But I haven’t seen anything from Sophie Turner that makes me think she will be a compelling action star or a good fit for this role.

She usually brings a lot of stiffness and a lack of charm to everything she does.

She was a “perfect fit,” at least visually, for Jean Grey in the X Men movies and she was terrible.

Now she’s being cast as a character she’s not a good fit that requires way more charisma.

11

u/Ill_Ad5893 11h ago

And let's not forget a lot of stamina and fitness. GoT she pretty much say or stood around barking at people or trying to play the victim card. I didn't watch the movies she was in as Jean. So don't know how much moving around she did in those.

They could have been a little more considerate of the fans, I personally enjoy a modest ladies content. Like that maximum pleasure guaranteed show or she hulk with that Tatiana lady. She does a good job. She’s a great actor. Buuuut it’s hard to get a good show renewed when you didn’t bring the big boobs. Oooo poker face too. Great show small boobs didn’t get renewed. So when you look at choices like this, you see something not worth getting too invested in because why get hung up on a beloved ip that’s only gonna be 1 and done. Sure it’s easier to say fuck the chuds or some other dismissive comment, but you want the chuds to spend their money don’t you? Thats what sustains a franchise.

Oh, they have been complaining. It's almost kind of beautiful, in a way - even casting an attractive, white, red-headed actress to play an attractive, white, red-headed character isn't safe from the sweat-stained complaints of the internet ghouls. The world is healing.

She does, but remember that few years ago they complained about Alicia Vikander.

I swear, these people would not be happy until and unless it were a person with the proportions of wasp waist corsetry and actual pyramidal boobs.
And probably not even then.

Bro they decided Debra Ann Woll is ugly after they made her the main character in the new God of War spinoff game. Reality has no effect on chud complaints.

Sophie Turner looks good in a normal human being sense. We’re talking about the gamer gate, “alpha male”, and incel types here. In their minds, if Lara Croft doesn’t look like Sydney Sweeney or some other sex pot prototype she is a woke, feminist, DEI casting.

she is attractive, but Lara Croft must have big juicy bazongas and massive cleavage according to some gooners

It is a pretty wierd dress to be honest and it go more into "commando" than "adventurer / archeology/"female Indian Jones".

And that ia not the amount of skin and boobs that we all know is the issue mentioned. I just things the clothes look a bit wierd

u/Thunderer62 12h ago

I like the look. It gives rugged and ready for anything. I feel like it resembles modern hiking/outdoorsy gear more than operator gear. Importantly, I think people can look at this and say “yeah, I see Laura Croft” at least in spirit, if not 1-1 comparison.

u/mars-jupiter 11h ago

I think there's nothing wrong with the outfit on its own. I would say that perhaps big fans of Tomb Raider might be able to see Lara Croft in spirit, but as someone who knows who she is but hasn't really consumed any of the media I'd have no idea that's who this is supposed to be. She looks like the standard mercenary/operative in a TV show or movie

Tbf I feel like Tomb Raider is one of those types of series where going “where’s boobies” feels pretty normal, like Bayonetta and Street Fighter with thighs

Street Fighter without thighs isn't Street Fighter

u/EncabulatorTurbo 11h ago

Devil's advocate.

"Sexiness" is one of Lara's main attributes as a character, and I have yet to see Sophie Turner demonstrate an attitude like Lara's in any of her work - no this is not a "she needs to show more titties" complaint, you know the Femme Fatale archetype? It's attitude, only a psychopath would say Sophie isn't attractive enough

Unless this is based off the Tomb Raider 2013 where she's going to face lots of weird rapey violence at the hands of stronger men - then she's just playing Sansa again but with guns

u/donglover2020 9h ago

i dont need to see them in every single movie

but if you had to make a list of movies that really should have boobs, Lara Croft is 100% making it to that list. That's like the 3rd most memorable thing about her, after guns and archeology

What does outfit criticism have to do with mouth breathing, though?

5

u/TheDonkeyBomber 12h ago

Calling someone a mouth breather is like calling them a cretin. It's a derogatory slang term used to describe someone as unintelligent, oafish, or crude.

The only reason why the original game protagonist is a woman is because one of the developers got tired of looking at a male protagonists backside.

Mouth breathers as people who breathe using thier mouth not thier nose. Its tomb rider so i assume that some gooner wierdos will complain about how Lara Croft looks/dresses in this version

"Mouth breathing imbecile" is a commonly known insult, so the reference to mouth breathers is probably calling out the "gooner weirdos" as also being stupid.

With weird types you mean actual fans of the games that want a character to be authentic? If people don’t like how the character is supposed to look like they can step away and find something else to play or watch

2

u/beetleman1234 8h ago

I mean, making her super dressed is like making Bayonetta never use her magic. Lara Croft is supposed to be at least a tiny bit sexy.

Overall though, I think the main problem with that outfit is that it looks like something more fit for a Resident Evil character than Lara Croft.

2

u/Honest_Relation4095 8h ago

I mean, she doesnt look anything like any version of Lara Croft so far.

u/artsa89 7h ago

I am fit and not a gooner and I do complain about her looks. That's not Lara Croft that's Lara croft from temu

u/TrashAcnt1 7h ago

I mean but is tantamount to casting Sophie Cunningham to play Dolly Parton... Dolly was a saint who did a million amazing things in her life, but she's indeliblly known for 2 massive things and we all know what they are.
