Doo_liss 6,639 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 15 minutes ago, Jay said: So? In the recent reboot games, Croft was 21+ Obviously we don't know what her age is supposed to be in this series, but I would assume it's somewhere mid to late twenties (based on Turner being 28) or very early thirties. Fun fact, Sophie Turner is apparently the same age as the character was supposed to be in the original game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was more a "in the side vision"-type of thing at the time. I was 23 and studied at uni, and was kinda fancy-schmansy about only seeing arthouse flicks. But I liked it better when I saw it up again a few years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 6,064 Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Yet another reboot from people who seemingly have no understanding of what made the source material so popular in the first place. Sophie Turner's a fine actress. But she's not Lara Croft. Put Sydney Sweeney in this, give it a tongue in cheek, offbeat vibe, with a showrunner and writers who respect the source material, and you've 100% got a pop culture hit. As it is, this is 100% a flop. Amazon, once again, shows why they should stick to selling toasters. Stark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, this is 100% a flop. Amazon, once again, shows why they should stick to selling toasters. I will say this. I think they should just have Jonathan Tropper make the show. He did Warrior and Banshee. Imagine those shows with Lara Croft. Tons of action, charismatic characters, sex, and fun. I feel like if they go that direction, the show would be a massive hit. The one thing I don't agree with you still is Sydney Sweeney. I don't think she is British action cool, and she doesn't have the face of Croft. I think they could get a capable and sexy British actress to play this. On the other hand, this is the problem with movie fans. Fans wants service, not pushing the envelope. You need writers and directors to do something different sometimes, or every action film would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 769 Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Why don't they just make another with Alicia Vikander? I didn't exactly love that first one, but she is lovely and the movie finished right at the point where TRUE Tomb Raiding could begin: With those iconic twin pistols that were so very conspicuously absent from the previous three games (WHY, WHY WHY?!?).

How about the character that made her famous in the first place? Nah, can't do that. That would be actually giving people what they want to see, rather than what Amazon wants to give them.
