Anon Classic Lara was a true survivalist, thrill seeker and self made millionaire, because she got disowned by her rich snobby parents.
In Legends they started to shove the stories of the god awful movies into the game, made Lara Croft live of the money she inherited from her dead parents and made her constantly cry for her missing mother like an upset child.
Lara Croft being a sociopathic mass murder that is dropping people like Flies for petty reasons started in Legends. Before then the only humans she killed where criminals, corrupt soldiers and corporate mercenaries.

>Let's be real the only reason we played this shit was because of them tiddies.
Bullshit, they may have helped but the true reason was that Tomb Raider was simply a much better game at its time than others, especially on the console.
Go play Resident Evil 1 on the Playstation 1 and then Tomb Raider 1, both had been released in the same year, both are Horror Games, both are full with Puzzles and both Games feature Tank Controls.
Yet compared to Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 1 looks like ass, controls like ass and the Puzzles are on a level of late point and click Adventure Games.
Resident Evil is the descendant of Alone in the Dark, which before the term "Survival Horror" was invented by the marketing team to sell Resident Evil was treated as an Action Adventure Game like Tomb Raider.
The only 3D game that had better controls in 1995 than Tomb Raider were either Mario 64 on the newly release N64(when Nintendo still sold game for the SNES) or FPS games like Quake on the PC.
And then the sequels were blowing the people away, each game not only had better graphics and sound but new and better ways of controlling Lara Croft and interacting with the environment.
The Tomb Raider franchise until 2000 was simply amazing and the apex of gaming for many people.
