I miss Angelina Jolie soo much. They just keep getting worse.

 

[Just_one]

Do people hate this casting because of the role she played in GOT? That was acting, she's an actor. It's not who she actually is.

Or is it just because she's a redhead?

Who knows, this could be fine.

i think people are bitching because she doesnt have big tits

 

[RoadHazard]

Ah yes, that could be it.

Maybe AI will generate lore accurate Tomb Raider one of these days

A Amazon , lets talk....

 

[Starbuck2907]

Wut? No thanks.

 

[Just_one]

it could be worse if she´s gonna look like this (just asked chapgpt )

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Who is this for exactly? Is this some elaborate tax write off?

 

[anyasok]

Another franchise destroyed by the woke virus

 

[DirtInUrEye]

A few years ago I'd have nominated Evangeline Lilly.

It's hard to avoid with bitter Incelspeak coming from every angle
I've no chance of keeping up I'm afraid.

Hands up if you've posted in this thread and have a girlfriend and no current restraining orders.

Only me?
Yeah, that tracks.

Looks like you missed the degenerate mothership when it returned to its home planet in 2017. We all can imagine what you look like and also what your girlfriend looks like, but we keep it civil around here and try not to insult each other that's why nobody put you in your place when you started to insult everybody who didn't conform to your degenerate views.

 

[mrMUR_96]

Fuck off American entertainment industry in general

Who's American in that list? Or you mean Amazon?

Little male feminist culture warrior with a "girlfriend" can now just call her and say she dont need to play with her boyfriend alone today ... you are 100% available to join them and watch

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Amazon ultimately responsible

 

[MayauMiao]

Look, when it comes to Lara Croft, we came for the..

...and not the..

Bro, casting her as Lara Croft is like casting dwarf with an afro as James Bond, she doesnt have the look to pull it off simply.

 

[hemo memo]

So, going back to previous casting choices. Most people didn't realise how good they had it with Anjolina Jolie as the classic Core era Lara Crtoft



Alica Vickander was a pretty good reboot trilogy Lara. I actually kinda liked the movie as far as game to movie adaptions go.



I honestly didn't really get into the Netflix animated series as much as I was hoping I would, but people seemed to like it regardless. I'll have to wait and see more with this new Amazon series before criticizing it.

Yeah they got it right with Angelina resembling the original Lara, but things went downhill after that even for the games.

 

[Lootlord]

It's gonna be a shitfest, quote me on it later.

Goddamit i let you alone for an hour and this is what you are up too ?!
Lame sexists brags ?
Im really thinking about telling your mother about your online attitude, if you don't change your ways fast.
Also do you think it is smart to boast about having a girlfriend when you are still squatting our basement at 48 ?
I know it's been hard for you since i took you under my wing, and you doubling up on your contrarianism just so other acknowledge yourself might be your way to cope. I also know that im not your father, nor that i want to be, but trust me when i say it is not the way.

 

[drotahorror]

I'm sure the show will suck regardless but I really dislike Sophie Turner. Doubt I'll even hate-watch it.

 

[lughnasadh123]

 

[Darkness_Arises]

Atleast it is not Bella Ramsey, that should count for something.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Terrible casting choice. Does not resemble Lara one bit.

 

[BlackTron]

You know that she was specifically chosen for this role because she has no tits and it's Pheobe Waller-Bridge.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Angelina Jolie's looks were overrated asf and her movies were embarrassing.

 

[SolidQ]

why not this Lara?

 

[Giallo Corsa]

This may come off as weird but : Remember that type of girl in high school that while she might have had some nice features everything else was off putting - disgusting even (mostly due to their bad hygiene)? For some reason, it was usually the metalhead/Grunge ones back in the day...

Well, this actress reminds me of those girls - she's not bad looking (not by a long shot) but...personally i find her extremely unattractive, it's almost like i can smell her bad hygiene for some reason.

Sorry but my English is all kinds of fooked up today, can't explain it any better boyos

Now, where's Ecosse 125634r45 to call me a sexist, incel bigot ?

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I don't like Angelina very much but she has the closest vibes to Lara. Sophie Turner was good as a spoiled princess but I'd be a better Lara than her.

She could be a decent Aloy, though.

This is the kind of people feminists and "allies" always pick, because it's pretty much them. Even the decent looking ones, they are obnoxious for one reason or another, with a facial expression as if they were collecting dogshit from the street.

 

[PatientGamer]

and people are surprised that birth rates are down everywhere in the west...

Another bomba on the way.

I'm not sure who this new TV show is for, but the men won't watch it (we all know why), and the groups who wanted to push it - also won't watch it.

They never, ever invest in their own agenda-produced media - so I don't understand what their end goal is. It on hurts them in the end.

So it'll be DoA as usual.

If you want this to be successful, look at Marvel Rivals and Marvel Tokon and recast Lara.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I got bigger tits and I'm not even fat or a chick.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

It's a pity the late Angela Lansbury isn't still around, god rest her soul. She'd have been my pick.

 

[crackajack]

It's a pity the late Angela Lansbury isn't still around, god rest her soul. She'd have been my pick.

not actually young anymore either but Kate Beckinsale would imho still be a good choice for the modern Lara version.

 

[Baemono]

 

[MrJangles]

I'm sure Miss Turner is a wonderful actress but perhaps its time we had a Lara that reflects modern society? Here's Lara Mulvaney/Dylan Croft.

Isn't she a cutie?

 

[VulcanRaven]

A few years ago I'd have nominated Evangeline Lilly.

I can't really see her as Lara but she had the 2013 reboot look for most of Lost.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I really wanted Murder She Wrote to end with the people finding out she was a serial killer and was planting the murders on others the entire time.

 

[Sethbacca]

I was wondering how GAF would rip this to shreds with have almost NO information

DEAR GOD WHY CAN'T I FAP TO THIS!?!?! /thread

 

[forsakkenSoul]

she doesnt have the look to pull it off simply.

What really matters in the end is the quality of the movie itself. I'd much rather have a movie that's above average in quality with an actress who has a more modest body than what we got in the past. Angelina Jolie had a stunning body in the early 2000s Tomb Raider movies, but the movies themselves were pretty mediocre to say the least.

But like I said earlier, let's just wait and see how this turns out.

 

[Toots]

She frankly is a half decent young Lara here, far better than her depiction of Ellie.

Anyway as usual it won't be the casting choices that will break this show, but the retarded showrunners and writers.
Since no one can be as dumb as seeing Phoebe Waller Sam Porter Bridges mundane comedy writing and think "i need her to write action movies", i have now a theory that kathleen kennedy isn't actually a retarded moron like most people think. She is a deep cover operative of a global authoritarian-subversive paramilitary feminist organization, single handedly bringing down the bastion of patriarcal sexism that is Hollywood from the inside, in such way it can never recover.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I think Sophie Turner's gonna kill it.


And Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a super talented writer. This shit's gonna be good.

PWB only good thing was Fleabag and the first season of Killing Eve

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Fleabag was excellent tbh. I don't mind her at all.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Was Pedro not available?

 

[Zacfoldor]

Nothing's changed since yesterday.

 

[analog_future]

PWB only good thing was Fleabag and the first season of Killing Eve

She wrote No Time To Die as well, which I thought was great.

 

[Filben]

Hope it's better than the Netflix cartoon series. My expectations weren't high but it physically hurt when I watched the first episode.

 

[BlackTron]

I was wondering how GAF would rip this to shreds with have almost NO information

I gotta be honest. After I saw the photo of the actress, I said "okay, one of those people with hyphenated names like Pheobe is in charge, right?" and sure enough.

It's like the Helldivers thread I just came from, when I saw the massive jpeg with a number in it, I said "oh, this is an adams xbox thread", scrolled up, and sure enough.

The amount of information necessary to call what we are dealing with is very low, for things going on for so damn long.

I did the same thing to adamsapple Helldivers thread too LOL!!! I already knew what time it was. Funny I wasn't the only one to have that reaction here.

 

[Exede]

Could be worse I guess

 

[PlayStaytion]

Sophie Turner showed a ripped body a few months ago

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) will serve as creator, writer, and executive producer on the series and has now been joined by Chad Hodge as executive producer and co-showrunner.
Jonathan van Tulleken will serve as director and executive producer., with Turner (Game of Thrones, Dark Phoenix) emerging as the frontrunner to play the lead role

"I'm so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team," Waller-Bridge said.
"It's not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving. Everyone on board is wildly passionate about Lara and are all as outrageous, brave, and hilarious as she is. Get your artifacts out… Croft is coming…"

They are really setting her up to uncover her other hidden face.
