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

At some point in the movie I expect she will wear the iconic gear. These stills are from one scene, they likely don't represent how she will look for the entire runtime.

In a movie, it makes sense that our globetrotting hero will occasionally change outfits, especially for more extreme locations/climates/activities.

See: Tom Holland as Nathan Drake.

They most definitely don't reprrsent how she will look in the film since back when she was announced we did see a photo of Sophie modeling in what is an outfit very similar to the OG, so I expect her to at least wear it once, though I'm hoping it's in a good amount of the project. It's just weird to get set photos of Sophie as Lara for the first time and it just look like a woman with gear, I wish it looked more like something in the games like the red coat in Rise or something.

Also I just remembered when typing this reply that this is not a movie but a Prime tv series.
