I can see why they would shy away from tomb raiding despite the title. In recent years, it's gone under the microscope as white Europeans robbing the tombs of people of color in other nations.

And, honestly, it kinda is. "Let's stick this Egyptian guy's corpse in our museum."

There's a whole lot of tomb raiding in Shadow actually. I think they're going for some sort of commentary on your point there too. But Shadow is in this weird spot of the franchise where it's supposed to be the final reboot game for the established character. But yet the interpretation seems to be that she's some sort of ruthless killing machine who burdens herself with saving the world despite possibly making this worse for everyone else.

Which isn't a terrible interpretation per se but we're three games into this reboot and it just isn't really cohesive with anything else in the franchise.

I wonder what's gonna happen when Disney finally makes use of the Indiana Jones license. Supposedly, they're going to get one more film out of Harrison Ford. When they inevitably reboot, he probably won't be so quick to say, "It belongs in a museum."

Not unless they want him to have a change of heart.
