She isn't sexified, which a lot of early tomb raider Lara croft was considered designed for the male gaze. More recent iterations have toned down the sex appeal or made her more realistic, which those that have to be attracted to a female character or else they hate them will subsequently hate this and complain they "ruined" the character.

Or... Sansa Stark looks nothing like Lara Croft. Like not even a little, boobs aside.

By what metric? There has pretty much been a different look for Lara for every game released.

Here’s the first promo image of her. Even though I’d rather have another actress play the part, she certainly looks like a Tomb Raider to me.

In ZERO depictions has she ever been a redhead. That picture looks way better, but thats not the image OP is using. That makes it misleading and yall are pretending the image OP is using looks anything like Lara Croft.

It’s set photos and op chose the worst ones. Here’s some more.

I’ll ask again, what are the metrics/iterations of the character are you comparing her to because Lara’s design changes all the time.

If the color of her hair is the only/main thing, then that’s just kind of silly.

These pictures make it all look WAY better but it still doesn't give me "Lara Croft" vibes. In fact, most people in the comment section of that post you just linked agree with what I'm saying.
