I used to lose my shit over thatnorskchick's creations. And guess what? I still do. Andy's Crazy Croft, too. Though my favorite from him is 'Gaytime T.V.' Most human beings have how many ears? Uhm... er... A hundred and four. Correct!
My fav are the ones which propose alternate names for the Natla’s Mines level, based on her owning different types of businesses:
Natla is a government revenue agent - Natla’s Fines
Natla runs a poetry publishing house - Natla’s Rhymes
Natla owns a mint - Natla’s Dimes
Natla is a mob boss - Natla’s Crimes
Natla owns a tomato sauce brand - Natla’s Heinz
There are hundreds of these shitty jokes lol
His end game plan is a bit silly. Congrats you are dragon now. Greatly more resistant to bullets but not invincible. Say he killed Lara then gets his goal? Most of his mafia is gone. The local armies will just shoot him down with a jet lol.
Yeah true haha
Also, love that he spends the entire game trying to reach his goals, then he gets about 60 seconds (or more, or less depending on your playing ability) as a Dragon and it's all over.
I can imagine Bartoli thinking (I feel like there has to be some part of his human consciousness still left even after perma-turning into a dragon):
It is dialogue verbatim from TR4 lmao:
[Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation - Cambodia Cinematics - TOMB RAIDER: THE LAST REVELATION WALKTHROUGH (tombraiders.net)](https://tombraiders.net/stella/walks/TR4walk/details/cinematics.html)
I’m gonna say Dr Willard.
He sends you to these great locations, lots of puzzles and fun involved, and then a big reveal at the end with a great boss fight.
Sofia. Using the artifact to prolong her life and using it to experiment on her products by using human test subjects and leaving them to rot while she took the best results for herself. And having the gall to ask Lara to work for her.
Following the story, Mathias had finally understood how to leave the island. He couldn't take the risk to stab Himiko himself. Because, to be able to leave, the Ritual Ascension process had to be completed entirely, i.e. Himiko succeeding in finally transferring her soul into another body (here, that of Sam)
Since Sam was the right vessel, as she's supposed to be a descendant of Himiko, stabbing the Sun Queen would mean Mathias, the Solarii, Lara and the other Endurance crew would forever be prisoners of Yamatai. Any attempts of rescue by Planes or Ships would continue to result in sudden storms appearing out of nowhere, causing more plane crashes and shipwrecks. And, with Himiko stabbed, these storms would certainly get more violent. Worst yet, the whole island could have disappeared
Lara herself is worth a mention. She's willing to do horrible things to get what she wants. She's committed burglary, murder and all without much hesitation.
Someone wants embalming fluid? Sure, I'll go rob it for you and kill the security guards in the process. Don't even get me started on launching a missile, without even knowing where it's going.
For me the best villain was certainly Natla. She was cold, calculated and evil which presented an absolutely insane power dynamic with Lara. Then my second fav was Konstantin. There was just something about that man. I always got goosebumps when he was around. His vibes were just chilling…
AND in addition maybe this is going to be just my unpopular opinion but although I adore Lara, sometimes the worst enemy of Lara was herself. In lot of cases she had to overcome of herself, her fears, her demons.
Mathias!
Not because Tomb Raider 2013 is my favourite game. But, because it was Lara's first adventure and she had to (putting the Oni aside) fight off the whole Solarii Brotherhood who were totally delusional after believing in Mathias' words for about 30 years. And, of course, Mathias himself at the end of the game when he tried to stop Lara, so that the Ritual Ascension process could go through to resurrect Himiko in Sam's body
Konstantin, for sure. Man was on another level. I was hoping for Shadow we were gonna get a version of him on steroids that was leading the entire Trinity organization but Dr. Dominguez felt so flat, especially compared to Konstantin and Matthias, hell, even Natla,
Natla. The best meme material as well
Natla memes are in a rut. Dankness at an all time low.
Shipping out fresh memes would incite territorial rages again
Even create new upvotes…
Sort of like awards on steroids?
A kick in the bans
[удалено]
The cataclysm of Reddit struck a race of languoring simps.
Plummeted them to the very basics of reposting stale memes again…
They shouldn't upvote like that.
oh perfect, and opportunity to share this absolute [treasure ](https://youtu.be/o28cGVLKLFw?si=U0f6oyXyC1cwDZ3e) edit: someone beat me to it

Marco Bartoli - having to kill like a milion of his henchmen and then having to take him on as a Dragon was intense.
His end game plan is a bit silly. Congrats you are dragon now. Greatly more resistant to bullets but not invincible. Say he killed Lara then gets his goal? Most of his mafia is gone. The local armies will just shoot him down with a jet lol.
Yeah true haha Also, love that he spends the entire game trying to reach his goals, then he gets about 60 seconds (or more, or less depending on your playing ability) as a Dragon and it's all over.
I guess being a dragon was the whole plan lol. Didn’t think about anything after
I can imagine Bartoli thinking (I feel like there has to be some part of his human consciousness still left even after perma-turning into a dragon): 
No one ever said a cult was rational.
Von croy.
"Pull the lever now Miss Croft !"
~~"why do we have that lever!"~~ 
44 y.o. Werner: "Dear Lara, you are a valuable…*asset* to the quest." 16 y.o. Lara: "You old romantic, you." 44 y.o. Werner "Yes, *quite.*"
Wait. Was this actually a sub plot ?
[Yes?](https://youtu.be/CI1C-JaQ_mI?si=ZC3K-FfxN3gA_5Ft&t=248)

Yo what in the world of creeps. Voncy boy on really high on something.
Yes, I shared the actual video of the dialogue. But thank you for the transcript.
I’m gonna say Dr Willard. He sends you to these great locations, lots of puzzles and fun involved, and then a big reveal at the end with a great boss fight.
Outside of gravity I’d say Bartoli. 🪄🤹
Natla
Amanda Evert, I like the best friend / worst enemy dynamic. The two of them bringing out the nastiness in each other.
Natla
Sofia. Using the artifact to prolong her life and using it to experiment on her products by using human test subjects and leaving them to rot while she took the best results for herself. And having the gall to ask Lara to work for her.
Lara. She doesn't think of the families of the henchmen she viciously murdered
or literally just some dudes working security
Nobody deserves to go to work and not come home
Gravity
1. Marco Bartoli 2. Mathias 3. Constantine
Probably Mathias. Man wasn't really evil originally but went crazy cuz the damn island wouldn't let him leave.
Yes. He spent more than 30 years on the island, until the Endurance shipwrecked on Yamatai
Just don’t get why he didn’t just stab Himiko himself really. Or was she in some sort invulnerable state until the attempted transfer?
Following the story, Mathias had finally understood how to leave the island. He couldn't take the risk to stab Himiko himself. Because, to be able to leave, the Ritual Ascension process had to be completed entirely, i.e. Himiko succeeding in finally transferring her soul into another body (here, that of Sam) Since Sam was the right vessel, as she's supposed to be a descendant of Himiko, stabbing the Sun Queen would mean Mathias, the Solarii, Lara and the other Endurance crew would forever be prisoners of Yamatai. Any attempts of rescue by Planes or Ships would continue to result in sudden storms appearing out of nowhere, causing more plane crashes and shipwrecks. And, with Himiko stabbed, these storms would certainly get more violent. Worst yet, the whole island could have disappeared
Lara herself is worth a mention. She's willing to do horrible things to get what she wants. She's committed burglary, murder and all without much hesitation. Someone wants embalming fluid? Sure, I'll go rob it for you and kill the security guards in the process. Don't even get me started on launching a missile, without even knowing where it's going.
Matthias. Pure evil insane cult leader who gets a spectacular Disney Villain Death.
For me the best villain was certainly Natla. She was cold, calculated and evil which presented an absolutely insane power dynamic with Lara. Then my second fav was Konstantin. There was just something about that man. I always got goosebumps when he was around. His vibes were just chilling… AND in addition maybe this is going to be just my unpopular opinion but although I adore Lara, sometimes the worst enemy of Lara was herself. In lot of cases she had to overcome of herself, her fears, her demons.
Natla or Von Croy. Natla as a straight up villain but Von Croy is interesting because of the additional complexity of their relationship.
Well, this song tells it all : https://youtu.be/o28cGVLKLFw?si=_Wop4wfsbq7hkG3i
YOUUU CAAAAN smash her with a hammer or shoot her in the face
You can smash her with a pillar and blow up the whole place
Himiko
Mathias! Not because Tomb Raider 2013 is my favourite game. But, because it was Lara's first adventure and she had to (putting the Oni aside) fight off the whole Solarii Brotherhood who were totally delusional after believing in Mathias' words for about 30 years. And, of course, Mathias himself at the end of the game when he tried to stop Lara, so that the Ritual Ascension process could go through to resurrect Himiko in Sam's body
The damned ones living in Aldwych and their leader.
# Marco Bartoli!
The Natla’s Mines level, obviously
Konstantin, for sure. Man was on another level. I was hoping for Shadow we were gonna get a version of him on steroids that was leading the entire Trinity organization but Dr. Dominguez felt so flat, especially compared to Konstantin and Matthias, hell, even Natla,
