    I’m glad the tone is going back to the original games. I hated the tone of the reboot series, it turned one of the representations of strong, capable women in games and pop culture into a perpetual screaming rape victim.

    There was a lot of neckbeard stuff going on around the time of the reboot, but seriously, it felt like they rebooted indiana jones and turned him into a whimpering victim. I get that’s what they were going for, and the tone they wanted and etc, younger Lara, whatever. It turned a powerful character established as independent and capable and stripped it away.
