Is Ellie more popular than Lara Croft now?
- Thread starter Memento
- Start date
I didn't even know who Ellie was referring to. After looking it up, I probably should have known. But... no and it's not even close.
Popularity is how liked a character is.
You could measure it by doing something like releasing a figurine of Lara Croft and Ellie at the same build quality, same price, with same level of advertising - the more popular character would sell more.
Over 1500 people will start a private Anti-Ellie Facebook group tonight... 😂
A simple question has some bringing their animals, moms, dads, grandparents, coworkers, a few kids from the playground back when they were six into this thread to validate Lara Croft's popularity.
'My imaginary friend even knows who's Lara Croft is' 😤

Lmfao, no.
Ellie is a popular female character today but that's about it. She doesn't even come close to Lara Croft. So far, Ellie has been in one good game. Lara Croft has been in loads of games, movies, and other media.

What happened to Ellie Page? I feel like her and Josh Hartnett just disappeared.
More people saw 2018 Tomb Raider movie in cinemas than bought Last of Us.
Because it's very valid. Lara Croft is a character that transcends gaming and that's a fact.
It is but, again, that is not necessarily a measure of one's popularity. Talking about how many people recognise a character has little relevance to that discussion. Even more people probably recognise Pac-Man but I wouldn't say Pac-Man is more popular than Lara Croft or Ellie either. Popularity comes and goes, it's why what is "pop culture" now is not the same as what was pop culture 10, 20 or 30 years ago. It doesn't mean people just forgot about those things but they are less liked, relevant and of less interest. Less popular, you might say.
I'm not really sure how op even convinced them self that this was a thing on "the internet", within the gaming community Or let alone in the real world
However we can all be guilty of assuming that the parts of the internet we consider mainstream are ACTUALLY mainstream pop culture and represent "the internet" rather than the corner we frequent at times

People have to know the person before they forms any positive interest though.
No, no way. I ask anyone I know about Ellie and they will be like 'Who is Ellie?' They know who Lara Croft is though.
A lot of people in bubbles telling other people in bubbles they are in a bubble, from what I can gather.
People aren't anti-Ellie because they don't believe Ellie is as popular as one of the most popular female characters in gaming lmao
Definitely more popular then Lara Croft.
you right...
No no no it will happen and it will called: MLCGA. They are going to have a protest in 2020 on February 21th to remind everybody about their late night big poster queen lol

That's a margin of more than 10-1. Case closed.
Maybe nobodies searching for Ellie because they all already know who she is. Ellie more popular confirmed.
Sure, but do people saying even their parents know Lara Croft mean their parents have any positive interest in that character, or do they simply just know who she is?
It's a pointless argument though because people just keep saying the same thing, displaying a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between what is popular and what is recognisable. Asking which is more popular is certainly not a ridiculous question for all the reasons the OP states. It's fine to disagree but saying because somebody who doesn't care about Lara Croft knows who Lara Craft is speaks nothing to her popularity.
Ah, I see, had no idea the TR movie was so popular in China. Money made shouldn't be compared, games cost a lot more to buy, TLoU very likely made much more than 275m WW. Also likely much more secondhand buys and sharing between 1 copy of TLoU vs 1 ticket of TR.

Chill, dude. No one else is as emotionally invested in this poll as you seem to be.
Lara Croft, thanks to the large part of movies which were a mainstream success.
What a bizarre post, games and movies are different medium where one costs significantly higher than the other.
If you're just talking money, then surely you must know that TLOU brought a lot more $$$ than $275m TR movie pulled?

She definitely was, just not the main playable character.
