Agent Carter will now be facing Booby Traps as Lara Croft

 There is a Netflix animated series following Lady Croft, voiced by Hayley Atwell. Based on the Square Enix continuity with smaller chested Lara. I'm running out of breast references on a Tomb Raider rant. Now with She-Ra and CGI He-Man I'm afraid of the term Netflix adaptation, whether live action or animated. Yes Castlevania was good, but I'm worried about "current year stuff" messing with Tomb Raider... Nu-Lara lost her shorts, her boobs and her action hero badassery. 

A PC mod delivers what Square Enix is afraid of.

She became soft, vulnerable, weak. Nu-Lara has this Kit Harrington "Deer struck by headlights" look despite being in sequels. The naive clueless child look only worked on the first game. By the third game there was no "real evolution" to the character. I'm afraid that this Netflix adaptation turns Lara into a slightly less roided out Abby. Or Revelation Teela in a teal shirt. The Teela reference is because Powerhouse is the one doing the series... the ironic thing would be if we somehow get a decent approximation to Classic Lara, despite everyone trying to "current year" her.
