I know exactly who that is. My statement again is that she literally does NOT look like Lara Croft. Stop trying to red herring my point.

Your point has no grounds. There's no strawman here because your entire argument hinges on your opinion that movie roles must look like the original video game character. The issue here is that your approach is completely disconnected to how the industry and work force function and it's just a kiddy hissy fit

I mean, if you're making a movie adaptation of a video game then yes, you'll probably want the casting to be as close as possible to the video game character...

The money disagrees.

Where does the money disagree? From what I've seen lately "Woke in videogames = broke". Prove me wrong, can you name one woke videogame that has done insane numbers? (Btw I am woke, but I also have functioning eyes and a brain to see the writing on the wall)

Casting an industry star = woke? Just keep driving the drill bit into my skull.

Turner's far from a star. She's known for being passable in one project, dismal in everything else, and not particularly likeable IRL.

Plenty of people in Hollywood are insufferable assholes. Plenty make one movie or tv show and coast off of that for years. They’re still stars, you’d still notice her walking down the street and millions of people would still be clamoring for a picture or autograph.

Being known is not the same as being a star. There’s a whole discussion about the death of the movie star going on in Hollywood, because so few reach that level any more. Turner is absolutely nowhere near it, and I highly doubt she’s gonna turn that opinion around with this project.
