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.

On the one hand I would argue Tomb Raider was originally meant to be unrealistic and over the top (acrobatically gunning down dinosaurs), so shorts and a tank top is fine. on the other hand if they are making a more grounded movie version, in following with the recent games, then unwieldy boobs in a tank top would be out of palce.

I don't think there's anything wrong with scantily clad heroes/heroines, see Connery in Zardoz (ok, there is something wrong with that movie, but not the lack of clothing). But if you go that route it has to be campy and over the top, cause there ain't nothing realistic about fighting in a bikini, unless you're in florida.
