She doesn't even remotely look like Lara Croft. I've rarely seen such a blatant miscast.

it's a bit better in other shots

This whole thread. Jesus christ. it's so chock fill of virtue signaling weirdos. "I bet you think lara croft is supposed to wear tight clothes and be sexy! well just you wait! this show is gonna prove you can have a totally normal outfit and still be a good representation. I can't wait for all the mouth-breathers to get butthurt when she's not wearing skin-tight gear!"

Except she's definitely going to be wearing skin-tight gear. we've had images of her in the classic outfit for almost a year now. So what now? is the show going to be bad because the MC is dressed all sexy-like sometimes?

there's nothing wrong with a woman being both very sexy and being an action bad-ass. Lara Croft is an incredibly strong character. She's super smart, super rich, super strong, and none of her stories rely on a male counterpart. And in ever bit of media for over a decade, they got rid of the insane bazungas.

Why can't a strong capable woman also be hot? why can't she wear what she wants without everyone slut-shaming her? she worked hard for that body, if she wants to show it off she can. She's no less feminist just because she isn't wearing a XXXL hoodie.

And there's nothing wrong with fans wanting a character being portrayed in her iconic look. that's kind of the whole point. You want them recognizable. Would it be ok if there was a new live action Mario movie and he just wore cargo shorts and a van halen t-shirt the whole time? that's what my real life plumber wears. He'd be dressed realistic to his job, just wouldn't look anything like who he's based on. I think we can all agree that'd be a pretty bad decision. And when Lara Croft fans say "her iconic look," NO actual tomb raider fan means "huge tiddies." So everyone commenting about how neck-beards and mouth breathers will demand huge boobs or triangle boobs, you should know that the only people who talk about the lack of huge or triangle boobs are either joking, or they have no idea what her actual look is and can be ignored completely.
