New Tomb Raider cartoon on Netflix appears to draw from 3 woke video games of the past decade

ComicBook has a report on what to expect of the new Tomb Raider cartoon airing on woke Netflix this year:
Square Enix previously shared a description of the series, which you can read here: "Picking up after the events of the highly successful Tomb Raider videogame Survivor trilogy as told in 2013's Tomb Raider, 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider, and 2018's Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the animated series will chart the globetrotting heroine's next chapter as she takes on the role of the iconic tomb raider that she is destined to become. Twenty-five years after her first game appeared, Lara continues to explore new territory."
Seeing as the last 3 games went woke, this is not encouraging to hear them connect this new cartoon to the 3 previous installments, and just because they may have been reboots doesn't make them any more worthwhile. I guess what's absurd is if they jettisoned Lara's use of firearms out of PC opposition to guns, and don't have the courage to emphasize it with them.

And if memory serves, Shadow was the least successful entry, one of the reasons the franchise seems to have all but vanished from gaming of recent. So why sugarcoat it? That aside, Netflix is not good news.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
