In the last cutscene, Answers Breed Questions, when Lara sees her mother in the portal, is that her mother from the time when they were both in the Himalayas? And if so, does that mean that Lara and Amanda were having a conversation with Lara's mother from twenty years ago? And THAT's why she pulled out the sword? Because Amanda swore the portal would explode if she didn't?
sharePretty much.
Though it seems to me Amanda wasn't actually trying to kill Lara's mom. She was telling dumbass Lara to pull out the sword, but the buxom brit was too focused on mum to listen.
Misplaced rage, Lara. Misplaced.

Ah. Makes much more sense now. Amanda is a treacherous bitch, yet at the end, the biggest revelation is that she has feelings for someone besides herself and Rutland. Lol. However, I DO hope Lara beats the SH!T out of Amanda. I just want to see the little slut die a very violent death. :)
shareAmanda is actually the hero of the story. Most people won't tell you that one.

She saved Lara's mother. Whoopy. I don't care about Lara's mother anyway. Kill her off. I don't care. It would actually make the story more interesting and emotional. So what else has Amanda done? Jack SH!T. That's what. Screw the blonde b!tch. Let her die a Final Destination death. =)
shareShe's the hero because she's protecting the world from the ravaging hand of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.

How is she "protecting the world from ravaging hands" when she is doing the same thing? Amanda is actually worse. She will do anything to get what she wants. At least Lara won't kill anyone to get what she wants. I mean, I know she kills people, but if she doesn't, she will BE killed by them. Amanda is the type of person who would just pull a gun, bust a cap, and walk on her merry way. She is a heartless bitch. I just really hope Lara kills her ugly white trash ass in the sequel.

Amanda is just doing what she has to do? Who the hell said she HAD to do ANYTHING? SHE put herself in the same situation as well. And also, Lara doesn't pretend to do things for good reasons. She is upfront. And yes, Lara DOES put herself in dangerous situations, but she only plays for sport. You are defending Amanda because Lara takes things that don't belong to her. Well the psycho bitch Amanda doesn't have a right to any of those relics and/or artifacts either. And like I was saying, Lara puts herself in dangerous situations, but the mercenaries and other people she kills almost always are a bigger threat to the world and society and if Lara doesn't prevent them from world domination or something else, then WHO THE HELL WILL? And yes, Lara DID bust a cap in Larson's sorry ass in Anniversary, but if she didn't HE would kill HER. AND Natla would be well on her way with her plan to rebuild the army of Atlantis and wipe out the world's population. And Lara CLEARLY felt remorse over killing Larson. She nearly cried. She didn't WANT to kill him, but she knew she had to in order to A) prevent him from killing her, and B) to prevent Natla from spreading harm to the world. Lara has also shown compassion in various levels. "Someone picked an unfortunate place to hunt," for instance, and she was talking about an ANIMAL. She also felt really bad for killing Rutland. She apologized to Amanda for doing it. If she had INTENDED to kill him and didn't give a FLYING F#CK she would have been more likely to say something along the lines of, "Ah, the stupid bastard deserved it." And finally, Lara will never die, except during gameplay. They will NEVER end a Tomb Raider game with her dying. Amanda is a disposable, cutthroat bitch, and should die a very violent death in the sequel. :)

Ah, tralycr_c-1, you're quite the Lara Croft fan, aren't you? And bursting bubbles again I see... you're quite the debater. Whatever will we do with you? Perhaps a nice cup of hot chocolate and a bedtime story before nap time would stop you from being so grumpy all the time. How does that sound? :)
shareFollowing me to another board just to bait me. Now who's being the aggressive one? (Note: I deliberately refrained from using that nice little word of yours.)

I'm not following - I don't even know how to track people on this site. I happen to be a TR fan as well as a matter of fact. I was merely expressing how childish you have been by refusing to listen to other people's opinions. Just because you think they are wrong doesn't mean you should rub their noses in it. I take it from that last post you didn't like me treating you like a child, but if you continue this game of yours I'm afraid I will continue mine. How about a truce? I can see this will be a waste of time for both of us. If you are willing to accept this truce, I will apologise for my posts and perhaps you could stop being so defensive with your replys to other people's posts. It's just a suggestion, please I want this to end.

Ya know, I quit posting here because I was sick and tired of putting up with your bullsh!t, tralycr c-1. But if you want spyrothedraggon to "stop responding to [you] and ignore [your] posts, then that's all you had to do on this post-war between me and you. Practice what you preach, buddy. It tends to help out morons like yourself. People like you disgust me. You try so hard to be so different just so you can feel better about yourself. Just be yourself and quit trying so hard. It's desperate, deliberate, and annoying.

Um... I don't mean to be rude or anything, but most people find that picking apart every single argument they put forward is a bit annoying, and con sometimes make you seem very egotistical(sp). I think that's why they're upset.

Oh my God, this guy is the greatest troll I've seen in a while. And you idiots keep feeding it. "Amanda is the hero"...fantastic!
9/10 for you, good sir.

Not really interested in joining the argument 'cause that's really lame, but I was just wondering about something.
Amanda told Lara to pull out the sword, so surely, if she had she would've been transported to Avalon instead of or as well as her mother, wouldn't she? Why would Amanda want Lara to pull out the sword with the chance that Lara will end up when Amanda was supposed to go?
I think at the moment Amanda was more interested in not blowing up or losing the sword. Of course it's possible she didn't understand how it worked and assumed it would open up a portal like on Stargate.
Quantum Of Solace - the amount of comfort.
HEY Tralycr. I know people who don't agree with you seem to be giving you alot of crap. I guess thats what opposite-opinions do to people. But i have to say that i do agree with almost everything you said about lara. In my opinion, Lara has always been selfish, she's still a good person, but she's quite selfish. she does put herself in danger but she seems to be good at dodging it though. If you think about it, EVERYTIME she tries to find an artifact, somebody or a bunch of goons are trying to beat her to it. Natla and her obsession with the 7th age, the dude who wanted to reincarnate himself with the dagger of Xian. the dude who turned himself into a big spider on steriods with those keys, Von Croy wanting the Armor of Horus, Amanda and rutland with Avalon and again Natla with the 7th age and Amanda who wants to go to Avalon. If all of these bad forces gain what Lara was trying to acheive, well the world is far more in trouble then it would be if Lara found it first. You know she likes to collect all kinds of old,dusty,dried-out pottery crap right? or donate it to the muesuem. so yea. I'm a Tomb Raider fan, but i dont have to like Lara 100% like everybody here is trying to get YOU to do. we all have opinions and we're not going to agree with each other half the time. I'm just surprised at the level of rudeness these days, people can't avoid calling each other names or being brutal without expressing an opinion. geez.
shareWell thanks. That's very kind of you.
To clarify, though, I don't think Lara is a villain in every game, but she's walking a fine line when it comes to Legend. Technically, her mother's disappearance and everything that occurs is her fault; yet she's somehow transferred that onto Amanda.
There is a man...he travels fast...he has purpose...he brings violence and destruction.
I can understand THAT part. a little 9 year old, messing with something she should not have and her mother paid for it, but yet she blames Amanda who was really trying to save herself and even Lara whether she wanted to or not, her mother just happen to hear the warning and pulled the sword. I think she should have apologized to Amanda for THAT part.
shareI think there was an attempt to rectify it in Underworld, but that only made Lara come off worse in Legend since Amanda basically spends the last act of the game trying to save her from Natla.
There is a man...he travels fast...he has purpose...he brings violence and destruction.
Not just as a 9-year-old. Lara reactivates the portal at the end, opening it up to the past despite having no idea what she was doing.
Put simply: Lara killed her mother.
There is a man...he travels fast...he has purpose...he brings violence and destruction.
Troll?

Don't worry Trufan777, I'm with you even if Tralycr c-1 isn't being nice. She kills to actually save the world and not to hurt it like Amanda. A jaguar is a dangerous predator, you either kill it or you become a snack.
