exactly, could turn out to be totally different.

Yeah I honestly just meant that it didn't look very stylish. I try to stay out of conversations about what is considered "problematic" haha.

Exactly, that's why I was very careful to clarify this is only based on a guess of what this line might entail for the story beats.

P.S.
I'm moots with a few of you from Powerhouse so just know that the work you've done is fantastic and I can't wait to see its culmination. Tomb Raider fans are extraordinarily difficult to please, and taking on this critical step in the franchise must have been terrifying. Thank you 🙏. 11/11

I imagine a meeting of executives where it was realized that 2013 was the most popular of the reboot, and thus elements of her origin story seen in rise/shadow must be rehashed for the uninitiated, all the while not erasing rise/shadow as canon (and hence the references). A very tough balance. 10/?

Now IF that's correct, then we're left to wonder why. It SEEMS as if there's been two competing goals. That is, rehash rise/shadow's arc for those who are only familiar with the 2013 game, while also establishing rise/shadow as canon via references (etzli/uchuu, trinity, etc) 9/?

Alright. The narrative. Obviously we don't have much context yet, but signs point to a possible repetition of Shadow story beats which I'm not super excited about. Lara, what have you done, you ask? This, Lara. You've done this. 8/?

I won't try to argue that the return of Sam is right for the franchise as a whole (it's complicated), but as a Samara stan, I love having her back, and I love that she is finally not a damsel in distress. But I wonder how Camilla Roth will feel about Sam🤔 7/?

I love that lara seems confident and slay, and I love that there's really no men in sight either as villains or heroes. It took a long time, but even this reboot stan has had enough of male role model drama. Give me a bunch of hot women being cunty to each other. 6/?

Lara, my dearest, you have gotta start wearing some sleeves with reinforced upper arm protection. 5/?

As @raycroft.bsky.social pointed out, whatever this is needs a good explanation, but I'm open minded. 4/?

But let me be a very straight dude for a moment. LOOK AT THESE THIGHS. It's not always about breasts y'all. Ahem, anyway... 3/?

The moppy fringe has gotta go. I loved it when she was a terrifying muddy jungle predator stringing up trinity soldiers in trees but it's time to clean up a bit. Look how great she looks here when the wind blows her fringe back as it would look as if pulled into the braid. 2/?

I just want my man Jonah to be happy.

haha i laughed out loud
