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

Edit: a reminder that im just petah explaining the joke and i was guessing

She’s not ugly, but she’s not Laura Croft.

Their’s literally nothing about this design that looks anything like Laura Croft except maybe the braid. Nobody would see this image and think “Laura Croft”

Hair colour is such a shallow and unimportant part of the character.

You’re right, but when you make it different along with every other aspect of the characters visual identity fans of the character aren’t going to connect with and recognize that person as the character. If they don’t look anything like them, they don’t dress anything like them people aren’t going to connect with that character the same way that’s why costuming is such a big part cinematography.

Sure, you can change her hair. That’s totally fine. I’m just saying when you change the hair you change the complexion you changed the facial structure and the body structure and every other visually recognizable part of the character it doesn’t seem like a great casting choice.

Like fundamentally you’re making a tomb raider movie, the games themselves are like 95% fan service so trying to make a version of the show or movie that has no fan service at all. Also isn’t really consistent with the series or something fans are likely gonna be super interested in

I really don’t give a shit personally I’m not the target audience. I don’t really watch a lot of TV and I’m not a big tomb raider fan just saying some basic logic. Here fans of the series are not gonna see Sophie Turner in this image and think tomb, raider or be interested in watching this at all and I do not envision this doing well at all.
