Talk:Jonah Maiava/@comment-29952513-20160725213006

Something just occurred to me while re-reading the resent arc of Tomb Raider, while I am worried that Sam will be killed off there is another character who is just as likely to die and there has even been some set up for it come issues 3 and 4, Jonah.

In Issue 3 Lara said that she wouldn't know what to do without Jonah and that she was worried for his survival. Also in regards to Jonah there are few stories that can be told with him and in fact every story that can be told with him has been told. He has no extended family so far as we know, his relationship with Lara has been fully explored in the first few arcs and Rise of the Tomb Raider. What's more, one of my few issues with Rise was that Jonah was pretty much out of character from how he acted in both Survivor and the comics and acted more like Reyes then himself.

Also the most resent comics have done next to nothing with him and his relationship with Lara, he's been supportive but that's about it. In contrast there are more stories that can be told with Sam with her and Lara dealing with the after effects of the next arc, there's far more that can be done with their relationship and Sam is, in my honest opinion, a far more interesting character then Jonah as shown in the comics leading up to Rise.

Please note that I don't want either Sam or Jonah to die but if it really came down to it and I Had to choose between the two I would pick Sam over Jonah. And to be perfectly frank I think if Lara was forced to choose between the two she would also choose Sam given their history and the fact that Lara has stated that Sam is the person she loves most in the world.
