Goddamn I played Tomb Raider 1+2 when they were new and I was so impressed by the graphics at the time. They look fucking awful now.

fwiw I get what you're trying to say.

Lara Croft has been established as an OTT action hero for more than 20 years now. She's got a witty one-liner for every situation. She never loses her cool. She can take on an army of dudes in short-shorts and armed with just two guns. She can solve ancient puzzles in a snap, all while fighting dinosaurs and getting chased by boulders. She can do super-parkour and she practices in her fuck-off huge gym in her fuck-off huge mansion while her creepy butler follows her around. She doesn't get hurt or frightened or captured. No man could get the best of her.

That's who she's been since the very beginning. When you strip that away from her and make her some regular person, she's not Lara Croft anymore.

It's like taking making a movie about Superman, except he's not actually heroic and he starts to cry whenever the bad guys hit him.

Well, no, that's not quite right. Lara Croft was established as an OTT action here for 17 years, and then they changed the character in 2013, and that's the version that they're making a movie of. You don't have to like this version of the character, but it's not a Hollywood innovation, it's a different version of the character from the video games. One that you happen not to prefer.
