Talk:Lara Croft (Survivor Timeline)/@comment-99.53.208.63-20160229223739

I ship Sam and Lara so much which is funny because the first few times I played through the reboot I only saw an ultra close friendship between them. I mean we've all got friends but how many of them could we honestly say would do all of that to rescue us? Though the support and fandom surrounding the two, even if it may be the minority,  is incredible and has totally swept me. It really is refreshing.

I like Sam, and I always have. Don't understand the hate surrounding her or of Reyes for that matter. Whitman's the only real disgusting  character out of the lot. Heck, Matthias is more likeable than Whitman. Anyway, just because I ship Sam and Lara doesn't mean I want Lara to be a lesbian, I honestly don't care, but I do care about how her and Sam's relationship is being handled. I'm hopeful that all this pushing away that Sam is doing is just an effort on her part to stand on her own two feet for once, to stop being a "damsel in distress". I can respect that and hope that's the direction things are being taken. Just as long as the two ladies make up. I really do believe that Sam is an important part of Lara's identity. The person she is currently in Rise traces directly back to those moments on Yamatai and her tribulations in saving Sam. Strip Sam away from the picture for good and Lara will literally lose half of who she is and all of her effort will have been for nothing. Save Sam only to lose her randomly later? WTF. Maybe that's CD's intentions? If so what a waste of time building Lara up only to strip it all away, leaving her to be an obesssive, selfish killing machine who whines about her father every 2 seconds. If she's going to do all that at least give her someone who can wallow in pity with her...someone besides Jonah please. In the spirit of Mean Girls, stop trying to make Jonah happen.
