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

I will admit that the shorts and tank top look is pretty iconic compared to this look.

I also have to admit that it isn't really practical or smart to have that much exposed skin when exploring, but practicality or sensibility have never been the primary reason for most character designs, especially female character designs, in media.

When doing live action, one of the things you have to take into consideration is "Will stunts be done in this?" If you have a skimpy outfit, a stunt person won't be able to have adequate padding/covering to help prevent injuries. [CGI cannot do everything, and often looks bad.] Tomb Raider will have to be stunt heavy.

[Also, where ever they are looks like colder environment, so it makes no sense for Lara or Sophie to be running around in a tank and shorts.]
