Tomb Raider's reboot series is missing the sexy fun confident Lara of the past. the sexual objectification is out, so are a lot of scenes of her in positions of power, leaving a lot of punishment dealt to the lead character. there used to be grautitous sex and violence, now the character is sexless, leaving only the violence. when the sex is there, it is in the context of violence.
this is a pro-corporate stance, practiced in everything from state power-fetishizing cop shows to comic book movies with our heroes backgrounded by the deaths of millions of people. in US culture, sex is minimized in favor of violence.
in the end i don't believe media creates violence. it is the other way around. people making movies about violence because it happens in the real world. art reflects life. there is violence in all art, from movies to paintings to literature, historical, mythical, fictional, legendary, consumer trash, etc. this is because art is a reflection of life. life is violent. imo we would be better off with more happy fun sexy art.
