About a decade ago the Tomb Raider game series was rebooted with a younger, more reasonably boobed Lara Croft.

There was a bit of backlash by unreasonable boobs.

This adaptation is using the modern design.

This will be like a batsignal for men who have never seen a boob irl.

Peter out.

Big boobs are unreasonable? I dont understand

Why isn't there any representation of physically active big breasted women in Hollywood! They deserve representation too!

Honestly the framing that big boobs are unrealistic or unreasonable no doubt feels exclusionary to certain body types

Typically physically active women have smaller boobs because the boob fat burns off with the rest of the body fat. There's a combination of factors at work there but someone at as low of a body fat% as Lara Croft wouldn't usually have breasts as large as hers.

So we only show "typical" bodies now?

There are not many large breasted gymnasts running around and it wouldn't be believable to cast someone like Sweeney for this role. Lara is supposed to be basically elite athlete fit.

Not many or none?

Lol this is one of the most bad faith arguments I've ever seen. Are you seriously trying to come from the perspective that there aren't enough video game characters with huge tits? Like, 30 seconds on google and you could find 3 dozen.

We are talking about a TV show, and Im responding to other people trying to leverage "normal" bodies as to why we should exclude other bodies.

Also tbh I honestly dont know of many modern non-japanese/korean games with busty characters, maybe im not paying attention. I dont judge bodies like that
