Turner is the fourth, fifth? actress to play Croft in a real body, but people still haven’t come to terms with the lack of polygonal t***. They should watch Madonna on tour in the 80s.

Just funny you got downvoted in equal proportion for this lol. I think it's a gross comment, but so was the first one. Just funny that *those* b**** are fine to make a joke about but *these* b**** aren't. It's the same character, either it's fair game or not.

If you can understand the difference between talking about a video game character vs. talking about a real person, then you can understand why one is inappropriate while the other isn’t.

CapNCookM8 Apr 15, 2026 -42

Actually no, I find both inappropriate, that's why I find it funny. Y'all are just selective about what women's bodies you can talk about, I find it tasteless across the board. But go on. Pretend as if virtual polygons didn't have a real effect on the gross beauty standards that led to us all reprimanding somebody for talking about Turner's body. Y'all are just picking and choosing when you can comment on a woman's figure and justifying it to yourselves. It's ridiculous and funny.

Massive_Weiner Apr 15, 2026 -1

>as if virtual polygons didn’t have a real effect on[…] gross beauty standards Lara Croft’s character model is a reflection of conventional beauty standards, not the other way around. Her “idealized” figure does not influence reality because that standard is what created her in the first place. But beyond that point, why are you acting like objectifying Lara Croft is perpetuating harmful stereotypes/expectations against women? She’s not real. You can’t hurt her feelings; you can’t strip her autonomy away. You can do both things Sophie Turner, however, because she’s real, and the gross things that people say about her body can and will get back to her. Being able to lewd Lara Croft while simultaneously respecting the boundaries of her IRL actresses is that whole “reality vs. fantasy” thing that people love to talk about on Listnook. What’s appropriate when talking about fictional characters is obviously VERY different when talking about real people. You’ll scoff at this, but it is about having tact.

-1

CapNCookM8 Apr 15, 2026

I don't scoff at tact, I just don't think a big b**** = back pain is a tactful joke. You're arguing a chicken or egg scenario. Lara Croft looked as she did because of the societal standards, I agree, but you can't pretend that that doesn't mean she was used to perpetuate those very standards. Would you not agree the Audrey Hepburn was both a victim of toxic beauty standards while also being a representation of them? They often go hand in hand, that's why I don't believe you can just be a cool guy who turns it on and off when you see fit. Either make your jokes about b**** or don't, but acting like one is somehow in better taste than the other just because it's virtual is ridiculous. Acknowledging Turner has small b**** is not stripping her of her autonomy, jfc. Inapprorpirate and rude, yes, but that's just dramatic.

0

Massive_Weiner Apr 15, 2026 +1

>I just don’t think a big b**** = back pain is a tactful joke It’s totally fine if you don’t think it’s amusing, but the issue here is attempting to conflate that type of comment about a fictional character with someone doing that with a real life person. That’s a boundary being crossed. >she was used to perpetuate those very standards I don’t see a lot of people running around looking like Lara Croft, so I’m not sure about that. And I absolutely agree with your Audrey Hepburn example, but that’s about a *real* person who suffered *real* consequences when it came to objectification. Lara Croft cannot be victimized in that fashion unless you explicitly write her to be a victim. I can’t speak for anyone else here, but I *can* be a degenerate when it comes to fictional characters or my IRL partners, but still respect basic boundaries when talking to or interacting with real people. That’s just part of having a baseline level of maturity, so I won’t pretend that I’m Captain Feminist or anything like that for saying that real women shouldn’t be treated like video game characters. I’m not sure why you believe it’s impossible to “turn it off and on.” If you’re making a joke about Turner’s b**** being too small to belong in that role, that *is* demeaning because she’s a real human being, not some digital avatar that’s literally crafted to be as appealing as possible.

odkfn Apr 15, 2026 +12

Yes but the content of the joke is what’s getting downvoted not the fact that they’re jokes. Saying “that anime character from one piece has a sore back cause her t*** are huge” is a comment on big b**** giving a woman a sore back and as it’s about anime it’s not actually about a person. Saying “that actress in real life couldn’t play that anime character because she has small t***” is no longer a joke about breast size but commentary on a real person.

12

CapNCookM8 Apr 15, 2026 -5

*I understand,* I just disagree. They're both jokes about the size of a woman's chest, one is just deemed okay because it's a virtual body and the other is an actual person. They're both in bad taste, imo, which is why it's funny, *to me*, one was so heavily downvoted and not the other. Okay I saw you edited to add more. I understand that nuance too, but the joke is still "lol she has huge t***, amirite?" You're just doing mental gymnastics to convince yourself it's actually in any better taste than saying a woman with small b**** wouldn't have back problems.

-5

odkfn Apr 15, 2026 +7

But you realise a video game character isn’t a real person, right? This seems to be the bit you’re missing. Saying a cartoon character has bad teeth is different than saying “that actress has terrible teeth.” One thing is an actual person. I mean, I don’t know why I’m responding, your opinion is clearly wrong, and it’s unclear if you’re just trolling at this stage.

7

CapNCookM8 Apr 15, 2026 +3

Yeah, but don't you think that if you call a video game character with bad teeth inadequate for them that people with similarly bad teeth may be made to feel inadequate for them? I can make fun of a gummy smile on a video game character, but anyone irl with a gummy smile should just chill because *obviously* I'm just talking about a video game character's gummy smile, right? These are not as separate of things as you are pretending they are. It's all the same conversation. Should we just throw the N-word around in a video games, too? It's all in good, it's in a video game. Doesn't matter at all.

3

Myrsky4 Apr 15, 2026 +1

Just my two cents: your comparison to the bad teeth isn't accurate IMO but if it was you'd be right. That's using a character as a patsy to make fun of a group of people. 100% agree with your thoughts about that. I so think this specific instance is different thought. The original comment IMO wasn't a joke making fun of people with big b****, instead it was making fun of that particular character and how badly she is designed, not in a realistic way, but in a her proportions are so wrong way. Like r/menwritingwomen is making fun of the creators more than anything.

GCU_ZeroCredibility Apr 16, 2026 +6

I thought she was good in the recent _Steal_ limited series. Remember that she was 14 when she started in Game of Thrones and was a child for much of the run. It's not surprising that she's a better actress now than in GoT. Not saying she's going to be the next Meryl Streep. Obviously. But I'll give her a shot based on her work in _Steal_.

Peru123 Apr 15, 2026 +36

There is something a little hysterical about the web conversation about her. She was good in GoT - played an unsympathetic character who then went through torture p***, so you could question the writing, but she was good in it. And after that no particular standout roles good or bad, not the best material to work with, only high profile job a poor superhero adaptation that's not indicative of anything. Say what you will about Waller-Bridge, she's unlike to get a lead for her show who can't deliver her particular brand of writing.

36

Pandaisblue Apr 16, 2026 +18

Honestly I think she played the early-mid season Sansa pretty well, I feel like people have short memories and are basing it off of later season 'hardened' Sansa but...I don't think you could give that arc with that writing to anyone and have it be great, with such excellent lines like "you should add leather to that breastplate" to a skilled armourer, and "what do dragons eat anyway?" while playing off of "I dun wan it". Assuming they're going with traditional Lara, she's a posh English woman who mostly needs to look athletic and say snarky lines. I'm not sure if anyone has looked at or heard of Sophie, but she's a posh English woman who looks athletic and can probably stretch her acting talent to saying some snarky lines.

18

Fresnobing Apr 15, 2026 +22

I think theres plenty of room for legitimate criticism of her acting in game of thrones that has nothing to do to do with the writing or whether people like her character or arc. Bit of a strawman. That being said, i agree it doesn’t mean she cant be better in something else years on

22

fcocyclone Apr 16, 2026 +4

>That being said, i agree it doesn’t mean she cant be better in something else years on yeah, its easy to forget that young actors are inexperienced in their careers just like anyone else at that age.

People underestimate how bad sciatic pain can be at its worst and also how much it messes with your life to have it be a mild constant. I didn’t sleep more than a couple hours for months because my leg was always burning to some degree and it was impossible to fully relax. Nerve pain is hell.

Hundred percent agree. I'd never even heard of it up until i started having the nerve irritation a few months ago. Tried to push though it and this is the result rip.

trendyworm Apr 16, 2026 +3

I have been mostly laying on my back and side rip. Every day, i go for short walks (15 minutes) 4-5 times a day to promote recovery, and when i go to the bathroom or get food i move a little. Other than that, sitting basically makes my right leg go numb and causes intense pain within 2-3 minutes, so i spend most of the day laying down. Throughout the day i have mild to moderate pain (2-5) constantly, but making a bad move hurts a lot more lol. Im trying to rest my spine as much as possible. Just gotta be patient. I did get some pretty sweet p********** though (oxys and pregabalin) but the effect is mild. Oxy just makes me sleepy and pregabalin i dont notice at all anymore. Hopefully it gets better soon, whine over.

i think its partly motivated as a excuse if its bad or unpopular.

The actress is insanely good looking, I'm not worried about that. She's not much of an actress but maybe she can pull off a stoic Lara

She isnt either tbh (great looking or a great actor) Really strange choice but this is Phoebe Waller Bridge waller Bridge Waller and Amazon so expectations are rock bottom tbf. Couldn't be any worse than the Netflix show surely lol

Amazon doesn't wow me consistently on the quality level, but man they've landed some truly impressive IP. Rooting for Sophie.

The Boys, Fallout and Invincible have been great. Couldn’t finish season 2 of RoP though. What a waste of Tolkien’s work.

I haven't tried young Sherlock yet but I'm hopeful there

I mean Fallout was also a waste of the original work, it’s just that the original Fallout only appealed to a niche crowd so by making it mainstream they improved it.

For me it's less about looks and more about her acting chops. Although I wasn't her fan of her take of Jean Grey in X-Men, she killed it as Sansa because it felt like it was more natural to her, but she could prove me wrong with Lara Croft. I'm hoping that's the case...

I really, really like Sophie‘s casting for this role. I don’t know what it is, but she embodies (younger) Lara for me perfectly.

captaindealbreaker Apr 15, 2026 +11

For me it's that she LOOKS the part and has put in a ton of work to phsyically embody the role. She is JACKED now and she reminds me a lot of Linda Hamilton from T2. I'm not expecting groundbreaking performances from the show or anything, but at least as far as embodying the character goes, they made a FANTASTIC call with this one. Lara is supposed to be a top 1% athlete who explores caves and shit. At the very least, they won't have to cheat Turner being jacked lol

i dont really understand why she keeps getting so many projects. If i didnt know any better I would have thought she's a nepo baby or some big executive's side piece. Her acting isn't bad but it's mid at most, granted Lara Croft doesn't require that much talent in acting, but the problem is that i've seen her as jean grey and she is not good at doing action scenes, which is what matters for this movie. They should just bring Jolie back and make a movie about an old Lara Croft.

She is a normal child actress. She played a prominent role in arguably the biggest TV show of all time. She was always going to get roles based on that resume.

Yes to Jolie! She IS Lara

Are they sure that it won’t happen again?

Hoping she kills it and turns it into a good franchise of movies

Significant-Turnip41 Apr 17, 2026 +1

Why.... Just because she was in a good show and cast very well there does not mean she is a good actress. She can kind of okay a stuck up stilted queen type. Because that's how she is... Anything else does not work

I'm mostly just worried that she's not athletic enough for the role. Nothing kills an action franchise faster then an action star who can't move well. She was a great actress in stuff like The Staircase but I have never seen her an action heavy role. Nothing is worse when your action lead can't run or fight well. One of the big things I didn't like about the new Mad Max was recasting Charlize Theron who I fully believe could kick my ass with Anya Taylor-Joy who looks like a small fall would break every bone in her body. Hollywood loves casting female action leads without auditioning for action.

It's not really about being athletic, per se, it's more about having the right frame and body type.

They should cancel it because of all the potential eye and brain injuries it’s going to cause unsuspecting viewers.
