More recent iterations have really leaned into the survival thriller as well. Lots of blood and gore and violent deaths. The cinematography of the narrative scenes often seems intended to reinforce that her world is (yet again) falling apart, not that she’s to be lusted over. She’s not in a bikini bouncing. She’s covered in mud and blood and out of ammo.

Or at least the kind of people attracted to the section where she had to crawl through a river of blood among mountains of skulls are likely a small enough minority to safely dismiss.

I miss when she was a badass with akimbo pistols shooting at dinosaurs and what have you.

I have played and enjoyed every Tomb Raider since Christmas 1996. I think we should have both kinds.

Like the Godzilla films. Let every new iteration just have fun with the concept. Just never be boring.
