Talk:Jonah Maiava/@comment-2038153-20171230053344

Well it seems that Jonah has left the series in the most resent issue of Tomb Raider: Survivor's Crusade. Gotta admit I didn't see that coming, I figured that Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix would be keeping him around for the remainder of the series as the only friend Lara can trust. But no, it seems he's had enough of this and wants out, and, I'm not gonna lie I'm actually completely okay with that.

I'm still annoyed at Sam's treatment and hope that she returns abut as for Jonah, given how little he has developed over the course of 2 games and 32 comics. Sam has actually grown into a bit of a badass as last we saw her she had a battle of wills with a Demigod which ended with said Demigod screaming in terror while Sam remained calm as she finally forced Himiko out of her soul.

But Jonah, at best he's gotten a bit cynical, which really doesn't make sense given that nothing has really happened to make him a cynic as he wasn't really that close to anyone but Lara.

With that said I did like how his departure was handled. I like that he stood up to Lara and called her out on her obsession with Trinity and I like that he also pointed out that Lara is doing this not only because of what was done to her father but also what Trinity did to Sam.

I do hope Jonah returns as I do actually like the guy and I like that fact that he and Lara have more of a brother/sister relationship which is something you see even less often in film then same sex relationships.

Admittedly if I had to pick between who I would want to return and remain in the series I would pick Sam every time but if I could I would like both to return to the series.
