#Jurassic Park dinosaurs

I Already Hate Jurassic World: Rebirth. Here's Why.

I know I'm late to the party, but I am not looking forward to Jurassic World Rebirth. And my dislike for it grows the more times I watch the trailer.

First time I watched it, I was very underwhelmed. Honestly, all I could imagine was it was just a big budget Asylum film, though less interesting.

The look of the Spinosaur-like dinosaurs is just, ew. Normally I'm all for realistic looking dinosaurs (its why the Pyroraptor is my favourite in the Jurassic Park/World franchise), but this time, I just miss the old Spinosaur design. I, like many others, wanted to see the big scary Spinosaur from Jurassic Park 3 and Season 4 & 5 of Camp Cretaceous again, so these versions are very much a disappointment.

Next is the hybrid. I'm not annoyed at the hybrid in a world building sense, more the design of it. From what I've seen, it's just a big version of the Future Predator from Primeval.

Now, here's the thing that makes me want to cry. There's a lot of dinosaurs in the franchise I would not miss. Yes, I like a lot, especially Bumpy and Toro, and even the half blind Allosaurus. But one I adore is of course Rexy. The big girl who's been there since the first film. And if she's dead, that's it. Not only am I going off reports and articles saying that a lot of dinosaurs are dead, but also the first scene in the trailer.

Let's talk about that first scene. Opening with a T-Rex skeleton (let's hope fossil though) with the When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth banner behind it, mirroring that famous scene in the first film. I am certainly hoping that is not the skeleton of Rexy, but the factual side of me is saying it is. Rexy deserves to live a long life, have a family and die peacefully, and NOT be used as a spectacle again.

Let's move away from the potential tears and onto the 'we're going back to the island' storyline. Why? Just why are we going back to the islands? Could no one at Universal come up with another story. After Fallen Kingdom, we moved firmly away from the islands. So why are we going back? It's like someone wrote into ChatGPT or Gemini 'write me a new Jurassic World script' and this was what it provided.

I want this movie to blow my expectations (though considering how low they are, it shouldn't be hard. Right?). I love the Jurassic Park/World franchise. It and The Isle are some of my biggest inspirations for a dinosaur book I'm working on. One of my favourite OCs is in a Camp Cretaceous fanfiction. I'm not a hater of the franchise as a whole.

But...

Jurassic World: Dominion, whether you like it or not, it ended well. Blue is safe with Beta, Rexy avenged her ancestor and now has a newfound family. It could've should've been left for the fandom to continue on the story. It did not need and still does not need a canon continuation.

Do I hope to be proven wrong? Yes! Absolutely! I hope the fossil of the T-Rex is just that, a fossil of a 66 million year old dinosaur. Do I want to see more world building into the franchise? Of fricking course! I want to know how that hybrid came to be. I want to know why dinosaurs are dying and if they can fix it. I want to see more raptors chasing unlucky side-characters, I wanna hear those adorable Dilophosaurus again.

Do I care if this film is a cash grab? Not really. If it handles the pre-placed story carefully and with respect, then good on it for making money.

Finally, if they do end up killing off Rexy, I hope they don't do it off-screen. Let the fans say goodbye to her, let us be there, no matter how heartbreaking it is. She is part of some of the most iconic scenes in movie history, it's her roar that's used for many other movies and series with a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Killing her off-screen would be an insult, to her, to fans and to movie lovers.

Now, I'm gonna wipe away my tears and hope they're just a waste, because I really wanna be proven wrong about my theory. I desperately do.

Okay I’m back on my Jurassic Park mess again so! I wanna know:

[druid-for-hire]

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.

JURASSIC PARK (1993) Dir. Steven Spielberg "Just think of it as... kind of a big cow."

[alethianightsong]

"I miss when movies weren't political-"

ALIEN is about a megacorporation coercing some salvagers into transporting a dangerous creature without telling them what it is, all because the creature could be a great bioweapon for them. When a survivor of this failed transport mission wants reparations, they screw her over to avoid a scandal.

ROBOCOP is about another mega-corporation experimenting with a cop's body and declaring him their property, trying to reduce him to an obedient killing machine who can maintain the status quo for them.

JURASSIC PARK is about a rich billionaire going all out to make a dinosaur-themed amusement park, not caring about the real-world implications of resurrecting giant lizards. He also underpays ONE guy to maintain the entire park's security systems so predictably, that one guy betrays him at a crucial moment.

The best movies weave their politics with plot & character, so you can enjoy them as entertainment but can also notice the themes. Movies without themes wind up being all spectacle and no substance, just noise and color like Michael Bay's Transformers franchise. Yeah, they make money, but they'll be forgotten in 2 generations.

Prehistoric Planet finally gives us the True Rival to the Tyrant Lizard King and it's NOT a Dinosaur.
