Not really sure how to feel about this, Sophie is an ok actor and Amazon has been pretty hit or miss on their shows.

Doesn't have it at all but who honestly cares anymore.

Her voice, her demeanor, etc.

Oh good, I have always wanted to see a Lara Croft movie where she is played as whiney and can only make one face.

Is this the rumored series about colonization and lesbianism?

That aside, I don’t think she is a very good actress.

Alicia Vikander had her flaws, but she was better.

She was absolutely atrocious lol. Short little petite 5head with no acting ability whatsoever. You could have gone to a random comic con and found a girl cosplaying as Lara and she mostly likely would have been a better pick than Vikander.

I said better, as in “better than Sophie Turner”.

Learn to read. I clearly said she had flaws.

They were clearly attempting to “match” the Lara from the new games.

At least Angelina Jolie had the “assets” in her movies.

Wasn’t Lara Croft a lesbian in the most recent game version? If so, they may go the same route with the Amazon series.

I think they just kind of implied her and her friend were more than friends but nothing was ever confirmed.

No clue.

I didn’t play Shadow, so I don’t know.

She wasn’t one in 2013’s Tomb Raider or in 2015’s Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I couldn't care less about whether or not she has big "assets", just give me a girl who's a solid actor and looks like Laura. Of course that's all moot if the script sucks too.

If you care about fidelity to the original games, or even to the Angelina movies, I don't see how this could be a problem.

No, she was not. She has no preference shown in any of the recent games, which is the way it should be.
