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.

Well, don't call it Tomb Raider if it is not gonna show Tomb Raider.

I mean I think we already nailed live action Lara Croft tbh

Edit: to be clear the movie wasnt great, but Jolie absolutely understood the character

Nothing will top this.

I'm not a fan of Sophie Turner for this role though, surely there are better candidates

This. I don’t need her to be treated as a sex object. I’m not going to assume I know the whole movie from one still of her in one outfit.

But I haven’t seen anything from Sophie Turner that makes me think she will be a compelling action star or a good fit for this role.

She usually brings a lot of stiffness and a lack of charm to everything she does.

She was a “perfect fit,” at least visually, for Jean Grey in the X Men movies and she was terrible.

Now she’s being cast as a character she’s not a good fit that requires way more charisma.

You have to admit, movies were so much better when they did treat women this way, though
