The Making Of The Lost World: Jurassic Park

(1997, dir. Steven Spielberg)

[thepixarau]

Should it get a sequel? Pixar edition

From a girl who’s very biased and opinionated (Note I’ll be including Pixar movies that already have sequels, so for that it’ll be a question of if they should have another one)

Toy Story: dear god we do not need five of these movies, please leave this series alone already

A Bug’s Life: for fucks sake Pixar I will literally pay you to make a goddamn sequel already

Monsters Inc: no, it already has a prequel and a series

Finding Nemo: mehh, I lean more towards no. Marlin and Dory’s stories have been completed. What else is there to tell?

The Incredibles: I feel like just one more movie would be great. Make it about Violet and Dash discovering their true potential!

Cars: lmao no. McQueen is retired, end of story

Ratatouille: no

WALL-E: no

Up: no, the Dug shorts are good enough.

Brave: no

Inside Out: it’s already getting one, and I haven’t seen it yet so it’s too soon to judge but I’m going to say it doesn’t need a third

The Good Dinosaur: no

Coco: no

Onward: while more worldbuilding would be cool, its story is complete to me

Soul: no

Luca: possibly. I think a sequel about the underdogs reuniting that next summer and discovering how much has changed for them, as they’ve grown up, would be interesting to explore

Turning Red: again, maybe..I feel like there’s potential for a sequel but I’m not entirely sure

Lightyear: no

Elemental: maybe? I feel like a series would be better fit for these characters

Ever write something that's never seen the light of day? Ever write a whole novel that you decide isn't worth editing into shape? I have!

Once upon a time, I had this character I'd written little experimental drabbles about, and I wanted to give her a full book of adventures. When NaNoWriMo rolled around, I went for it: the idea seemed promising. She was a human veterinarian working on an alien world, and things out of the ordinary were happening.

In this case, there was a flying city veering dangerously off course, and escaped animals turned out to be part of the problem. There was another intelligent species on the planet, who were very cool -- they looked like hadrosaurs and were mostly conjoined twins. There were evolutionary and cultural reasons for that. There was a forbidden forest, and lots of interesting characters, and the dangerous alien predators turned out to be allergic to humans.

I had fun writing it! But the end didn't come together in a very satisfying way, and a few other aspects didn't live up to my expectations, and basically I was underwhelmed with the end result.

So I put it aside and did other things, then on a different NaNoWriMo, I wrote out a different idea for the same character. That became A Swift Kick to the Thorax.

At this point, the first book is non-canon, since those dinosaurs with the flying cities aren't mentioned in SwiftKick, and they would have been involved in the interplanetary dealings with Earth. But they're not gone forever. Just like I used a couple other facets from the original story (escaped animals, no-trespassing forest), these guys might show up in something else later.

Maybe they live on another planet. Maybe they'll come live on this one eventually. Maybe they live in another storyverse altogether, and they're talented magicians. (I have another rough draft on the hard drive that they'd fit into pretty well, actually.)

They say no writing is ever wasted, and that's very true. It can be material to draw from later, bonus material for Patreon, and heck, any writing is practice. You don't expect a piano player to gripe about a song played badly.

Writing never expires! Maybe I'll see those dinosaur twins again someday.

I feel like its taking me a bit to get back into drawing, so please take this dumb blorbo doodle.

As usual idk what they're talkin about, I just enjoy drawin em

[vamprisms]

obsessed how they thought a jurassic park movie about big locusts would be a good idea

[conspiring-limabean]

jurassic world chaos theory is very good. its kind of insanely good for something that's a sequel to goddamn Camp Cretaceous. and im losing my mind because no one i know gives a single damn about it but it's like. actually so fucking good

[dog-ending]

there's all these newer dinosaur/ancient animal shows with the fancy cgi speculative reconstructions and that's great!!!! except as far as i know, none of them have been what ive wanted my whole life:

a 6-10 part miniseries of 1+ hr long eps exclusively about pre-cambrian and cambrian life.

thats it. that all i want. like 6 hours of wiwaxia and hallucigenia and opabinia and anomalocaris and those squids with the fucked up shells and my god what i wouldnt give for an episode thats even earlier illustrating various theories on how life started in the first place. ill even expand it to the devonian period.

i love dinosaurs and all but ENOUGH!!! about them!!! i want weird fucked up little critters that dont look like anything alive today. i want to learn about single cell organisms. i want worms!!!

So like… did the aliens take some dinosaurs with them to their new planet? Imagine.
