Yeah, I saw this. Don't know how well it bodes that they sticking with the Reboot universe - Doesn't seem to have left a lasting impression on people.
I can't say I'm as enthusiastic about this but I'm not as much of a Tomb Raider fan. I'll watch it to see if it is done well at least. Netflix is doing pretty well with animated adaptations of video games so I'm likely to enjoy the experience.
Nothing against the fans, but who was asking for reboot of this series? Granted, I had long stop watching live action Nickelodeon stuff by that point‘iCarly’ Revival Canceled By Paramount+ After Three Seasons
So long Carly: Paramount+ has decided not to renew the revival for a fourth season.deadline.com
Well that's the beauty of these reboots- I mean who was asking for a serious Fresh Prince or a live action Lion King or a TV Cats or whatever. But then enough folks have genuine love for these properties or feel the need to hate-watch to be "part of the conversation" (not a real conversation just online bullshit) or whatever draws enough interest with name recognition.Nothing against the fans, but who was asking for reboot of this series?

Fresh Prince is one thing. That's a complete revamp with either reimagined or different characters. It's also much more serious than the original show. The live action life in the remake was expected as Disney has got lazy putting their remakes on assembly line.Well that's the beauty of these reboots- I mean who was asking for a serious Fresh Prince or a live action Lion King or a TV Cats or whatever.

Honestly if I were a money-grubbing soul-less entertainment corporate exec, I would literally ban new IP from my studios.
Which only increased further stagnation and cause that company to die out faster. There's only so many times to rehash the same idea over and over for everyone gets bored.Honestly if I were a money-grubbing soul-less entertainment corporate exec, I would literally ban new IP from my studios.
That looks utterly fucking deranged. I'm sold.
Would be funny if Mark Wahlberg made a cameo.
Aw man, why does a "Beekeeper" be a super-secret position/organization/. Can't it be just a ex-"insert special forces" guy being fed up by callous small evil and going mental, berserking his way through scammers, marketing-divisions, abusive managements and ceo's/members of the board of various businesses? Inciting support and copycat's globally... We can make a new "Fight Club" out of that (Just a bit more revenge-fantasy and action and less commentary).That looks utterly fucking deranged. I'm sold.
Can The Beekeeper team up with DR. BEES? For some beekeeping action, and be all they can beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Because it's not "cool/exotic enough". Either way, it's going to be some cliche, and some point Statham's character is going to be revealed as some ex-special forces/soldier/cop/assassin takes names and no prisoners' something bad ass. He's got over three dozen of these now.Aw man, why does a "Beekeeper" be a super-secret position/organization/.

Looks like a big mistake to me. Now, I've barely played any TR games, but even with that said, the reboot series isn't something that translates to anime well, because it's boring as an anime. The selling point of the reboot of a more gritty, violent, and realistic story means the anime has no hook.
I don't know nor can I tell you what's going to happen. I don't know how this anime is going to go down. If it were up to me, I would just do classic Lara with her own self contained adventure and be dealt with it. You all know by now that I'm not a hardcore Tomb Raider fan. I was always casual with the original franchise and have no interest in any of the reboot games.Looks like a big mistake to me.

Grit and violence are already abundant in anime, and with all sorts of different and interesting flavors to them that make them stand out like Higurashi, Hellsing, and Elfen Lied. The TR reboot is just... boring compared to the violence of other anime. I dunno, just seems like a bad move.
