Great vid as always, sephfire, but as a bit of a tomb raider buff, I feel the need to harass you about bringing it up . It might just be coincidence, but when you draw the line between Lara Croft as a sex symbol, and Lara Croft as the attractive, capable, female Indiana Jones, you use footage/artwork from the older games to illustrate her being a sex symbol, but post-legend artwork to make your point about her being the attractive, capable etc.
I bring this up because if I recall correctly, Tomb Raider: Legend was supposed to be the game where Lara got 'reinvented' to be a more mature, realistic character, and you'd be hard-pressed to find official post-legend artwork of her that's as risqué as the 'topless' artwork that came with the earlier games. The point I'm trying to make is that I think she's actually a lot closer to Gard's original vision of the character nowadays, and I do believe she's been quite succesfully reinvented as such, being a nice indicator of how the industry has 'matured' and even sort of emancipated women in games.
TL;DR Me spergin' out over the emancipation of Tomb Raider.
