And that leads into the next issue with the film, Himiko goes from an almost Lovecraftian monster who sees humans as nothing at best and at worst tools to be used and then disposed of when or no further use. So not only did they down grade Lara and remove Sam but they also took a rather unique villain and turned her into a generic corpse that can turn people into Zombies.

And this film was praised for being super realist. I'm also baffled at how anyone could see this film as pro women as, like I said, Lara is made into a idiot who only makes the situation worse and is only useful when she is told what to do. Made Himiko into a plot device that was discarded the moment she was of no further use and gave all of Sam's and Lara contribution to a white guy who is seen as the real hero of the story.

In the games Lara is a tank and it takes a great deal of effort to get her to change direction, her motivations are clear and her character is well defined and relatable. Lara in this movie is a tool that gets tossed around with no say in the matter, has next to no character and what little that is established gets tossed to the side in the very next scene. Sam in the games and comics is a likewise a tank that also requires a great deal of effort to get her to change direction and like Lara has a fully fleshed out personality. Richard Croft in the movie is white guy with super smarts and is the only reason Lara is able to do anything right despite having no real personality.

I honestly like the first Angelita Jolie Tomb Raider movie as it is a really fun popcorn flick. And at the very list it has left a impact on people as it is still talked about to this day. But 2018 TR movie is already being forgotten as is the one thing worse then a bad movie, it's just kind of dull.
