The Yaz attack episode SUCKS because it's basically "campus shooting, but with dinosaurs", so it's really not that Fun.

Like...cowardly scientist gets eaten on his birthday abandoning kids? That's kinda funny.

Guy gets pulled apart by T. rexes while saving our heroes? Sad, yes, but he went out like a hero. A champ. He was pulling a gun! He fought to the end!

Babysitter gets eaten trying to rush her charges to safety through a mass panic? Not funny, very sad, but noble and spectacular despite the horror.

Bunch of mercenaries get torn apart by a freak experiment? Yeah, that's what they get for stealing dinosaurs and selling them.

Guy on a scooter gets chomped in the middle of mayhem? Sad for him, but also funny, especially because you know the guy won a contest for that role (probably won the scooter in-universe, too, making it Ironic).

But three random people killed and/or wounded in an almost-indiscriminate attack on a refuge? That is...not cool. It's Too Real. I Do Not Like It. There is A Thing there.

#this isn't a slight against the show or anything #it's just...that is arguably THE ugliest scene in the whole freaking franchise #no one Deserves It #it's not for the sake of chaos or spectacle #it's just...well...a slaughter on a campus #jurassic world: chaos theory #jwct #chaos theory #like...yaz WATCHES SOMEONE SHE KNOWS GET EATEN #I don't think there's blood on her hands this time #but like...I will argue this #there is no more violent or violating scene in the franchise than that one #I have had this in my drafts but I bought becklespinax today #THE FIGURE IS AWESOME #the design is awesome #I love the fact that they put it in but HOO BOY #rewatching that scene was just...skin-crawling you know?#and I know people are fans of that #but...I'm not #it kinda triggered something in me #because I'm not exaggerating: that's a school shooting with dinosaurs #it's a hit #easily one of the best episodes of the show though #the twist at the end?#BOTH twists?#it's so good #but also IT'S SO BAD #THAT'S JUST WRONG
