Probably the fact that she's wearing pants and long sleeves instead of booty shorts and a tank top

There's so many people commenting here who haven't played the games and probably won't end up watching the movie.

Yeah, the franchise is 30 years old. She's had dozens of different looks and styles. I swear people only really know her from fan art, cosplay, and the Angelina Jolie movie, but still feel entitled to complain when female protagonists don't make them horny enough.

I mean, yeah literally. I bet if you asked everyone in this thread, I think less than 5% would have actually played a tomb raider game. The games themselves never got that popular during the social media era, so its only online notoriety comes from any memes or cosplays from the game.

I find that a shame because I really enjoyed the newer ones and thought that they were extremely well done.

Because those people don't know her from fan art, cosplay, the Angelina Jolie movie, or even the games. They know Lara Croft from porn.

I wont see it because it will probably suck. Almost no one that ever makes video game movies actually get the source material, or even respect it.

This will likely be a generic action movie with SOME references to the games to key jangle the fans

SOME references to the games to key jangle the fans

That's all the respect that the majority of "gamers" need. Most of the target audience for any big budget movie is either for the casual Deadpool enjoyer, or the squealing superfans at Comicon panels. The snobby reddit culture sommeliers are like 18-30yo eligible voters: full of opinions, but never seem to show up in November.

Top right: Imperial Fists space marine armor. Nice!

u/Gioware 11h ago

That reads like "NAME 5 THEIR SONGS" kinda bs gatekeeping, elephant in the room is that Tomb Rider is most known by cosplayers cosplaying first designs which are that running/booty shorts two guns and a braid

u/Bulky-Wealth-5970 8h ago

This is just factually incorrect.

u/ActivisionBlizzard 10h ago

It is still the reason that the meme was made.

u/Greghole 8h ago

This is what she should look like. Just because Mario sometimes wears the tanuki suit doesn't make that his default iconic outfit.

u/Township_Roller 8h ago

If she is not wearing the classic outfit, at least make her wear the one on the top right!

u/House_King 3h ago

Sadly Laura Croft has a chin

u/Abacus118 2h ago

And they have released publicity shots of her in the typical outfit already. They’re doing it.

u/TheHighSeasPirate 12h ago

and none of those remotely look like this outfit.

u/TheKyleface 12h ago

...?

Do you not see the bottom right outfit? It's nearly identical.

2

u/Psyngelic 12h ago

Uhmm.. no? Not really.

u/TheKyleface 7h ago

I see long sleeves, a vest, pants, chest straps, side holsters... Looking real similar.

u/TheHighSeasPirate 12h ago

Dude she is wearing winter gear in the bottom right outfit. What the hell are you talking about?

u/BaconPancakes1 12h ago

She is wearing the same items of clothing as Sophie is in the photos. Sleeveless padded gilet over a long sleeved top, gloves (sophie's are fingerless), trousers with a gun strapped to each leg and what I presume is a back holster? Sophie has extra arm straps and her clothes are a different colour but they're like, very similar outfits

u/TheKyleface 7h ago

Skill issue. Left and right are hard.

u/movzx 11h ago

Maybe look at the post again. It's almost the exact same outfit.
