Lara Croft is a Sociopath - Lemmy.World

Here I am playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, when it dawns on me. Lara is a sociopath. She is a killing machine who barely even speaks on it, it’s nothing to her at this point. She doesn’t care about her health, injury nor pain. She just wants artifacts and to uncover ancient mysteries. I like her character but damn she is actually low key the villain of the story when i think about it. Trinity are bad guys but Lara is the boss villain slaughtering all in her way to get to her goals. Lol anyone else notice that?

You’ve just described the protagonists in most games.

Check the manual for Super Mario Bros. The original on NES.

Mario is described as “The hero of our story (maybe)”

Which is kind of a weird way to describe the main character.

In a time when a lot of children’s media was focused on “eco warriors” and fighting against pollution and stuff, you had a game with an Italian plumber stomping on turtles.

a game with an Italian plumber stomping on turtles.

Perchance.
