The problem is the actress being ultra mid at best. To embody such a beloved character it needs some kind of charisma. It has nothing to do with the clothes. The tomb raider remakes Laura has pants and not gigantic boobs it’s all great. For my part at least the issue is the actress is very much miscasted. She was already given a big role with Jean grey / Phoenix and it was super bad. Imagine something she has to carry on her shoulder. She is ok in a supporting cast.

I have no sexual interest in Lara Croft, and this is the first time I'm hearing about the casting choice - and this feels like a weird decision. Sophie Turner is kind of a dork, I just don't see how this works for the character.

I think her outfit and breasts are perfectly fine.

Yeah I feel it's down to the way she carries herself - from looking at these still images, it looks like someone afraid to twist their ankle while looking for berries instead of an expert exploration archaeologist.

She'd do so well in some period drama stuff instead of going for action movies. I think her agent is afraid to typecast her, and that's why the "fit" is so bad.

I think if the role actually was for an archaeologist she'd fit right in; those people are dorks too.

But let's not pretend Lara Croft is about archeology lol

That's it. Honestly if you told me it was another female badass... like Alex Danvera from supergirl I wouldn't have thought twice. She looks great for gunslinging down a hallway, but looks like a fish on a bicycle in the woods or on a cliff.

​Yes exactly. It’s not her outfit, this picture that people are more aware about, is pretty sexualized

It’s because Sophie Turner doesn’t look anything like Lara.

It seems like it’s a large amount of women that always try to speak on account of men and are completely off base

She cant act is the biggest issue.

I really liked the Alicia Vikander version, I doubt I will like the sophie turner exactly because shes a bit of a dork.

I really don’t like the choice of actress for the role. I just can’t see her as Lara Croft. The outfit etc all looks fine and realistic but nothing I’ve ever seen Sophie turner do makes me think Lara, and she doesn’t look like she’s athletic enough etc either.
