>Nu-Lara won't stay regardless she's just a fad that's aging badly.
I like nu-Lara's design, truthfully. Here's my two cents: Yes, it's a shame that one existing means the other had to die. While that's the nature of reboots and the like, it's still unfortunate. If you're the type that wanted the reboot of the character to have the same personality and looks as the original, I can see why the redesign burying the original is still something some people are discontent with. That being said, I tend to have an open mind when it comes to reboots or reimaginings of games and the like - the original games will always exist. If the IP moves in a new direction, or the devs want to work a new angle, sure, go for it. Can always go back to the originals if that style suited your taste best. I think nu-Lara is a fine take on the character, with the exception of her debut 2013 game. I think that's where a lot of the bad rap she gets comes from - all she does in that game is sensually moan as she gets beaten up and trembles like a frail leaf at the prospect of doing quite literally anything. Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider are much, much better games. I do agree though that Nu-Lara is probably nearing the end of her life. I can't see many more of these reboot games coming out before people lose interest.
