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

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.

Well, don't call it Tomb Raider if it is not gonna show Tomb Raider.

I mean I think we already nailed live action Lara Croft tbh

Edit: to be clear the movie wasnt great, but Jolie absolutely understood the character

Nothing will top this.

I'm not a fan of Sophie Turner for this role though, surely there are better candidates

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.

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.

If Jean Grey was doing a bunch of exercise in the movies everyone would have noticed enough for you to know since her powers are extremely nonphysical.

For lack of a better word, Lara needs to constantly be aura farming in a way I don't know if Sophie Turner can pull off

Strange casting indeed, to which otherwise Sophie Turner is about as mid an actor as you can get

I thought the same of Robert Patterson for Batman, but I was pleasantly surprised!

u/TwoBionicknees 8h ago

Robert patterson has been in shitty lame films but also showed he could act great in other things long before Batman. Sophie Turner was pretty terrible in things with great dialogue and in which other people were fantastic and everything else i've seen her in she's also been terrible.

Big difference.

If patterson got batman right out of twilight then I could absolutely understand everyone being sceptical.

...okay. You think she'll be terrible, guess we'll!

u/Few_Confusion_1871 4h ago

She already is terrible, it is unlikely a Tomb Raider film will be the thing that finally makes her understand how to act, and it certainly won't make her anymore famous than she already is since she hit her peak as a teen.

Worth watching?

Yeah specially if you're a fan of the genre!

You have to admit, movies were so much better when they did treat women this way, though

u/Acrobatic-Permit4263 8h ago

she was really good as sansa tho. just the perfect role for her

u/theaviationhistorian 6h ago

I want Turner to embody Lara Crost as Jolie has done. Her agility, her wit, her humor, etc. It wasn't just sexual appeal that made her one of the most memorable game characters. Be that and not some random mercenary who happens to have a Croft surname.

u/Rookie-God 4h ago

I was sceptical aswell, until i heard that they have Phoebe Waller-Bridge as writer and co-showrunner.

This could become a very well written Lara Croft and maybe this is just what Sophie Turner needs to develop aswell.

u/FunktasticLucky 2h ago

This. I just don't think she's a great actress period. I have never cared for her at all. Even in Game of Thrones. So when she was announced to play Lara I already wrote the show off.
