She can jump 100 feet while firing a fucking gun, make Molotov cocktails in 1 second, fire a grappling hook into a hoop with 100% precision, but she can't have big breasts anymore. . . cuz, you know, don't want to break the sense of realism.I lived for her 1000ft jumps, it was so funny seeing her take off like a rocket
Fuck that.
As far as her looks go, it's not so much the realistic model that bothers me. In fact I do really like this new look, it's beautiful but without trying too hard to be sexy like the old Lara was.
I'm more pissed that they have this new girl they've created and they're marketing her as "Lara Croft", when virtually nothing about her character resembles the woman I grew up playing. Where's her signature twin pistols? Where's her aristocratic background? Where's her dry English wit, and comical deadpan non-reaction to danger?
Uh, where are the tombs she's supposed to be raiding?
Apparently the new game (which I'm not buying yet at full price, because I'm giving Square Enix all my petty for fucking us PS4 fans over), has fixed a couple of those things. Still not enough from what I've seen, I want a new actress tbh. I don't think the current actress is a bad actress at all, however she is not Lara in my opinion. There's also a lot "off" about her lines, but I blame the writers for that. It's weird, the actress speaks with a British accent, but I find a lot of her sayings and mannerisms really Americanised (if that makes sense). It's like an American who has no knowledge of British humour and dialect wrote the script.
