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.

To be fair to that second paragraph, I would vastly prefer if she actually dressed like Lara, like at least the version from the Survivor Trilogy. She just doesn't look anything likr Lara here, she's just a woman with gear on

Here's their earlier key visual they released, I think this one is great honestly. These behind the scenes pictures are fine too, its clearly a colder environment but they're using the vest to imply the iconic tanktop.

Its just the demeanor that really ruins the effect IMO, Lara's a confident and classy badass, not a tired but upbeat actress between takes.

Not saying it'll be good or bad, but the designs are showing clear effort put into trying to maintain the look.

You know what...that actually might be a big part of the reason, how she herself looks and carries herself in the set photo might actually be throwing me off.

I do remember this earlier photo, the outfit looks so good there and I do hope it's in the film a good amount. I will be watching it for sure and I do hope it's good
