    If you don't think gymnasts are muscled, then you're simply too braindead to understand my critique in the first place...

    Notice how my original comment was about how she's too skinny. I mention height because it has a huge impact on how the gymnasts look: Being short requires proportionally less muscle to pull off the same stuff. That's why floor gymnasts are usually short as hell, so they're flinging around even less mass. It's important to understand real life if you're going to compare.

    I'm not saying she has to be some muscly shortstack. I'm saying it'd be nice if an athletic female character was represented as having an athletic build. They do it all the time for guys. Why does every female character have to be the most cliche variety of 'pretty'?!

    She should at least look like she could do one pullup for how often she's, you know, pulling herself up in the games...

    The male characters are often way too mucular though. It's also not realistic, they look like body builders.

      I don’t remember Lara Croft having muscles, just big tits.

          Yea, it's usually over the top for them, too, but at least they're allowed to frigging have muscles when they need them.

            I can't really picture her as Lara, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

            Feels a bit like casting Tom Holland as Nathan Drake.

            She's a good actress tbf. I'd watch the movie if it got good reviews though.

              Dear Sophie,
              If you really want people to forget how they butchered your debut show, now is your only chance.
              Wear the real Lara Croft costume.

              God speed to you!

                I watched every season of GOT and never saw her act once. She's so.... wooden is the only way I can describe it.

                Most if not all of that was from the character. She was the stuck up big sister always trying to act proper, especially after her mom uh.. died.

                  Her acting hasn't been much different in the other things I've seen her in. It just worked out for the GOT character.

                    The actors don't need them though, and I don't need actors to undergo extreme physical changes for me.

                      Nowhere did I say they should force actors to do anything. Why are you hellbent on failing to understand this most simple of ideas that women should be allowed to look muscular, too?
