Talk:Lara Croft (Survivor Timeline)/@comment-24.224.106.46-20170510123125/@comment-2038153-20170818045749

Allow me to restate that while I would like Lara and Sam to end up together as I think they're pretty much perfect for each other, I am completely okay with the games keeping it ambiguous. What I do NOT want is for Lara to end up with some random guy who has only appeared in one very poorly written novel that no one in the company has bothered to read, (by their own admissions BTW). And that the developers cared so little about that they gave him the face of a random henchmen that Konstantin killed to prove how dangerous he is.

What I like most about Sam is that she is the most well developed character in the series aside from Lara and that she adds the most to Lara's character more then anyone else. Jonah is nice and all but he really doesn't add anything to Lara that Sam doesn't already add. It's very tell that CD made a big deal about Jonah being the only returning character from Survivor and how important he was only for him to appear about 12 minutes, (15 if you get all his documents) in a 12 hour game.

In contrast Nadia, who is pretty much a Expy of Sam, (seriously they're pretty much the same character), is in the game for about 2 and a half hours and she's a DLC exclusive character. And what's more once Jonah has fulfilled his role in the games plot he disappears from the game completely. I'm not even kidding, every time he does what he needs to do to help advance the plot he just disappears and is barely mentioned again. Hell once he fulfills his final part in the story he only appears one other time in the game, the final scene before the end credits and Lara doesn't even mention him again.

And please note I like Jonah but I don't get why he is the one CD insist on keeping when Sam is someone who adds more the to the story and Lara's character. To date Sam has played a major role in 1 game, two arcs in the comics and was the focus of the most resent arc and her absence is something Rise of the Tomb Raider and the Spore arc drew attention to.

I'm not trying to say one is better then the other if possible I would like Sam AND Jonah to help Lara out in her adventures. And again I am okay with CD keeping Lara's sexuality ambiguous but then there's no reason to keep Sam on the bench when she can do more for the series by being part of the plot.

Sorry for going on about that but its just that Sam is a incredible character, one who has struck a cord with a lot of fans while Jonah, while nice, isn't all that interesting.
