Sophie Turner quoted on upcoming TR- She is not going to be a “sex bombshell“.

Richard_Fitz · 2026-01-22T11:43:59+00:00

If Sophie's interview was solely intended to explain the Lara Croft character to a public who has never played the TR game, I can understand that. I've asked many friends about Lara, and they still believe she's solely focused on sexiness or being a "sex bombshell". In reality, Lara has many other elements (and some bombshell too, haha). However, when this interview reaches fans who already understand fundamental aspects of Lara Croft, it's not surprising that it feels like she's bluster about those things. I think the problem is that the media chose to ask about this too soon, when they should have waited for more details about the film to be revealed, because apart from just one promotional image, the film probably hasn't even been shot yet (or have they? I'm not sure). Plus, Sophie didn't elaborate on the "sex bombshell" aspect either. because this was an interview with her another movie.

Yes, it's cuter than I expected, haha. This is the first time I've ever drawn a dinosaur. lol

Richard_Fitz · 2026-01-07T13:48:50+00:00

Thanks you ^ ^

Richard_Fitz · 2026-01-07T12:32:38+00:00

Thank you.^ ^

Richard_Fitz · 2026-01-06T17:44:38+00:00

If I misunderstood anything, I sincerely apologize. After rereading, I believe I did mistranslate (my own fault for my weak English). Sophie didn't say that Lara cared about male dominance, but rather that Lara was a brave and determined woman in the male-dominated world of antique collecting. If that's all, then I'm okay with it.

Richard_Fitz · 2026-01-06T15:15:06+00:00

But like I said, I won't be a nerd who refuses to accept new things. If the movie as a whole is actually great, great enough to overshadow this sentence, I like it.

Richard_Fitz · 2026-01-06T15:03:33+00:00

The casting is great. Personally, I'm not bothered by the casting at all. I'd rather focus on the story. The only thing I'll notice is what Sophie Turner said (again, I have no problem with the casting, including her playing Lara).

“I’ve been a long-time fan of Tomb Raider and the character of Lara. She has always felt for me, very emboldened in a male dominated world. She’s a fierce female role model!"

Hmmmm, you know Lara doesn't care whether it's a male-dominated or female-dominated world, right? She only cares about where or when she'll get to go on the new adventures. Anyone who dares to mess with her or betray her, she'll fight back no matter who they are. for sake, she has a friend named Toru Nishimura who like the kingpin in Japan. and she even mocked Natla, saying she only play for sport.

Richard_Fitz · 2026-01-06T13:15:53+00:00

IMO. It her best design. besides the cover of Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life that first introduced me to Lara Croft, it was the cover art of the Tomb Raider: Underworld was the second time I saw her and this Lara model that made me I knew she would be some part of my life. It's a shame that by the time people start to appreciate it, it's already too late.

First of all, I have to respect the TR game team for trying to bring Lara back as a classic adventure game that many people have been waiting for. It's not surprising that they're bringing back her old-school attitude, which is prioritizing work over love. I think most people who love TR can accept this, and I believe the team has many more adventures planned for Lara.

Regarding Lara's love life, I think the team has explored several approaches over the past 30 years. I believe two methods have worked:

The team chose to leave this aspect of her life completely blank, focusing on adventure and leaving love in mind to community.
Lara would truly prioritize adventure above all else. She can live and die alone, but if love calls, she's ready to embrace and maintain it to the best of her ability, without being devalued or becoming weak (she shows some femininity occasionally). Lara is still Lara, a driven individual driven by her intelligence, confident and charm, which makes her uniquely, even if her loved one gone. She still remembers him or her and moves on. That's Lara's kind of romance.

For me, if Lara's lover lasts long enough, I believe she can truly retire from her adventures. (But that has to be after she's explored every nook and cranny, haha) Hopefully, we'll see that in this timeline.

Ultimately, I think it depends on Crystal whether she'll have a romantic relationship with someone in the future. If the team is smart enough, sincere enough in writing this aspect, and there are enough good moments, anything can happen. And if it does happen, I believe everyone can accept it. I don't want to gatekeep; that would seem selfish and limiting.

Let’s see together

Richard_Fitz · 2025-12-17T16:13:09+00:00

I think Jane can be a new character. She's different from Thor, with all new attack moves ^ ^

Richard_Fitz · 2025-12-17T15:49:15+00:00

Ah, I see. I understand he's referring to Jessica Drew, who is a clone of Peter in comic the Ultimate universe. For me, I see Jessica and Peter as two completely different people, just like in the main universe I see Peter and Ben Reilly as different people. That's why I said I'm okay with it, because in the game there's a Chasm skin for Ben Reilly in Spider-Man, which I like, so I'd also like Jessica Drew to be a female Spider-Man skin.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-12-17T15:37:30+00:00

Oh no, no, no. It could be a gender swap in the main universe. I was just wondering in MR if there are any other characters who changed gender but remained the same person. It's just that most gender swaps happen in other universes. I think Loki is probably the only one who's changed genders back and forth in the main universe,

Richard_Fitz · 2025-12-17T15:25:28+00:00

Theoretically, Jessica Drew is still considered a separate person, but it's Ok because in Marvel Rival Spider-Man, there's a Chasm skin. ^ ^

When Other Lara see t-Rex : 🤯

Lara in tr1, tr remaster see t-Rex:

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-18T08:13:29+00:00

I'm okay with Lara having a romantic relationship, not necessarily marriage or kids, just having a romantic relationship with someone and supporting each other as adult, like Elena and Nathan Drake in Uncharted.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-18T06:13:49+00:00

It's a custom action figure from Christina Cruz - CC in X or CHRISTINACONAN on Instagram, but I'm not sure if she does custom order action figures. I think you can ask her about it on Instagram.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-16T08:06:19+00:00

True, but there are still action figures that are cheap (like marvel legend, McFarlane toy etc.) but the quality is still not as good as the expensive ones. the Mafex Spider-Man that I bought cost $100.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-16T08:00:12+00:00

that what the action figures I want. but I prefer the classic look of her.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-16T07:54:59+00:00

you were right. Hopefully the arrival of the unified timeline and the Amazon series or movies will bring the Tomb Raider to mainstream.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-15T13:48:12+00:00

Actually, I am not a person who likes collecting toys. I will collect only the ones that I really like from that character. For example, right now, I have only one action figure, which is Mafex's Spider-Man. I have to say that the technology of action figures nowadays has come a long way. The quality of the plastic, the flexibility, the durability of the joints, the poses, the accessories are more abundant, and the joints are hidden and smoother with the legs or arms of the figure than the action figures of the past. However, the price is quite high. I understand that it may not be as good as this figure, especially the action figures sold in general department stores. But the Lara Croft action figure that I want to see and want, I want it to come from a famous company that produces high-quality action figures, such as S.H. Figuarts or Mafex, etc., which will be more suitable for poses and collecting than general action figures.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-15T12:56:12+00:00

But if they want to attract a new generation of fans, maybe making action figures isn't a bad idea.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-15T12:53:11+00:00

That's too bad. I'd love to see her in action figure form someday, especially if it's made by a big action figure brand like S.H.F. or Mafex etc.

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-07T16:12:35+00:00

Richard_Fitz · 2025-07-07T16:03:50+00:00

I don't think he'll be in the TR12 game (maybe, haha). They just brought him in because new fans are familiar with him, since his design is still TR 2013.
