Cosplay: MEAGAN MARIE does STEAMPUNK LARA CROFT.
Here’s Meagan Marie back with some more quality cosplaying. This time she’s taken Ms. Lara Croft and overlaid a veneer of steampunky atop the usual motifs. I don’t know what that sentence means.
Nor do I care.
Game Informer Reveals The New Lara Croft; Tomb Raider Reboot Inc.
[Enlarge]
Behold the new look of Lara Croft. Crystal Dynamics is rebooting the franchise, and are totally swearing to tell the origin story of Ms. Croft. Isn’t this like her third reboot at this point? I can’t keep track. The head of Crystal Dynamics, Darrell Gallagher, trots out some of the more derivative statements you’ll find across video games and comic books to hype up this new origin!
Forget everything you knew about TOMB RAIDER. This is an origins story that creates Lara Croft and takes her on a character defining journey like no other.
Yeah, okay. I’ve heard that line a million times out of DC and Marvel alone. This is across mediums, but it’s the same hyperbole. Maybe it isn’t a reboot, but they’re appear to be starting afresh.
On the look? I like it. I’m sure she’ll still be super sexualized to an extent. But it’s nice to see her with a face that’s a bit harder (but pretty! of course! Heroines have to be pretty.) and suffering some battle damage.
Thoughts?
Via.
