I enjoy reading discussions about hypothetical death matches between fictional characters and since the old DB thread seems to have gone under, making a new one for however long it lasts.
So....One of the most requested matchups has finally been done!

Going in, I figured winner would depend if they were going to go with original Lara or reboot Lara, with reboot Lara and Nathan being more evenly matched (and in nathans case having the clear advantage of luck, the dude must be covered with all sorts of luck fetishes such as rabbits paw and 4 leaf clovers), and original Lara being super OP in comparison to either of them.
Once I understood they were going with a composite Lara (though really i struggle to think what advantages reboot lara brings that original lara didn't have) i figured result would be obvious.
And so it was.
Yet, though i enjoyed the analysis as always since they usually do a good job of proping up the character, the actual fight itself... Hum..
It was allright i suppose but i felt the ending was unsatisfying somehow.
I get the metaphor of Drake's luck finally running out by getting an incredibly unlucky death, but considering Lara was ready to shoot him with a crossbow 30 secs earlier i'd much rather she had a direct hand in his demise. Dunno, when you compare it to some (imo) better DBs between big characters like Bayonetta vs Dante or Snake vs Fisher, they weren't afraid to have dramatic and gory finishes, so feel the end here was lackluster in comparison to others.
Still i enjoyed it decently enough, though the youtube comment reception is more...mixed, as is usually the case when 2 popular characters clash and one of them bites the dust.
So, any thoughts and ramblings to share my fellow DB fans?
