        When are they going to hire someone with the muscles Lara should have?

        I'm fine with unrealistic body standards for unnaturally talented characters, but at least make it the right unrealistic body standard for what the character does!

            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.

                    That promo photo of her is promising. I'll definitely give it try, hopefully its good!

                        Same. She was and still is crazy skinny for most any action role.

                          Yea, the unrealistic standards have been around a long time.

                          Even most art of Red Sonja (1973) is drawn far more "sexily" than realistic, and she's far older of a character than Lara (1996).

                          Of course both were created to leverage sex appeal, but my point is Lara Croft has still always been exaggeratedly skinny.

                            I've played the games. You should try having a look at a female acrobat.

                              I'm honestly surprised, she looks the part. The question is, can she act well enough to carry the role past the visual?

                                  Yea, they're all shorter than and more muscled than Lara, at least floor gymnasts. Any gymnast is more muscled than Lara has ever been canonically represented. (at least ones pulling off anything close to similar)

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

                                      Not having fat is not the same as having muscles.

                                        They're not "muscled". Lara can't do anything about her height anymore than you can. She's not a gymnast.

                                          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...
