And they haven’t shared a scene in two seasons now. Not since 16x18 :( and no Jo talking to Doll Meredith in 17x11 does. not count.
This is going away from the most commonly discussed things in regards to this franchise, but I thought I’d touch on it. Camilla Luddington is one of the best Lara Crofts in any form of media that the character has been portrayed in. (This is of course my opinion). I believe that Camilla has brought a sense of humanity to Lara that I’ve never seen in the character before. The older Tomb Raider games were heavily gameplay related, with the story and characters feeling like an after thought. This can obviously be excused because the earlier games were made throughout the 90s and early 2000s, where developers weren’t very focused on selling games as a narrative form of media like that they are today. The progressions throughout the gaming industry in terms of narrative telling have changed a lot sense then, and I feel like Camilla is the very best representation of what Lara Croft should look like today. She’s had the most positive reception amongst reviewers and critics as well as the general community for her portrayal of Lara. It makes me genuinely confused when I see people saying that they want to see her replaced. Camilla Luddington has shown true and genuine love for the character over the entire course she’s been playing her. She acknowledges the characters history and wants the best for the franchise. I think she’d do an amazing job as a unified Lara if given the chance. She’s also the actress who has played Lara Croft the longest (7-8 years). With rumors that she’s been in Austin Texas where the new studio has just opened, I hope she’s returning as Lara Croft in the future Netflix series and games going forward.
I will keep powering through until this show finishes it’s very long run, but her comment made me cackle.
