#camp cretaceous mosasaurus

[swan2swan]

Until someone from the staff says otherwise, I will stake actual, genuine money that this was an exchange from the writer's room that made it into the show.

[sparkshock]

he dropped a gallon of koolaid (he's clincally insane)

[silverthelovebug]

Okay, so, who do I have to commission to make a “Yaz dies from the Mosasaurus” fic?

NOBODY GIVE ME WEIRD LOOKS BECAUSE YOU GUYS LOVE MAKING BEN ACTUALLY DIE TO THE PTERANODONS !!! I’ve seen the fics ,,

The scenes happen back to back too, so it’s like — almost equal amounts of angst !! Because when Yaz breaks her ankle and Sammy runs over to her, she’s still pissed at Sammy, so imagine the guilt Sammy must feel if she watches Yaz die in front of her without ever making things right ??? Not to mention Ben’s guilt of feeling like he caused her death bc he was slowing them down with Bumpy. Maybe even Kenji too for not pulling her to safety fast enough with the feeding hook !!

Which is an ironic name..

I’d write it myself if I had the motivation to finish things ..

[jwcc-confessions]

Dave gives off sexist vibes in first half of season 1.

He repeatedly undermined and downplayed Roxie’s authority and focused almost entirely on the boys, barely interacting with Sammy, Brooklyn, and Yaz,

I always interpreted his interactions with Roxie like a general insecurity and figured he'd act like that with any other camp counsellor.

But that's kinda true he doesn't interact with the girl campers nearly enough.

Thoughts?

[swan2swan]

I imagine it would have felt like a jinx otherwise.

They were all on a train one time, talking about what they would do when they got home, and fifteen minutes later, Ben was dead. A few hours after that, and they were stranded on the island.

They were NOT taking chances until they were far away from that island.

I love how it took the campers 4 whole seasons to think about writing everyone's contact information on a piece of paper

Jurassic World Rebirth Leak Discussion

It's from a random reddit user and completely unsubstantiated, but it's interesting enough for me to want to talk about it. Read at your own discretion.

Given that this is meant to be a completely new chapter, it makes sense to update some old designs, especially since de-extinction has supposedly gone public so there'd be all sorts of companies creating new variations and species.

I'm excited for the new Triceratops, I hope the redesign means it gets some love beyond being relegated to background herd filler.

It's also nice to get a new T. rex and Velociraptor pack instead of shoehorning in Rexy and Blue again.

Now this is really fun news to me, Spinosaurus being the main focus of the movie is pretty much confirmed thanks to the Mattel toy listings, but if it is getting a new design based on our modern understanding, then I can't be happier. Set photos suggest it'll take part in an action scene around some Aztec ruins, which sounds like a fantastic set piece.

I am a little torn on the Mosasaurus, on one hand I'm happier that we're getting a more accurate design but on the other hand, the JW design has really grown on me and I always felt like she deserved to do more in the franchise.

Quetzalcoatlus getting a redesign is actually bad news for me, the Dominion look is probably the most beautiful animal in the whole franchise. I hope it's not too different, "hornbill beak" isn't very reassuring.

Titanosaurus is such an odd choice, why not just use the Dreadnoughtus that you already have? Especially since Titanosaurus is a dubious and not all that large sauropod. I have a feeling it'll actually be something like Patagotitan or Argentinosaurus and they'll just refer to it as "Titanosaur" for marketing reasons. As for the actual design... What? A shiny dome on its head and sails on its neck and tail? I really hope this is just a bad description on the leaker's part.

Aquilops is there, I feel like it'll serve a similar purpose as Bumpy did in the first season of Camp Cretaceous, something cute for the characters to get attached to and the audience to buy toys of.

Looks like Maiasaura is about to join the ranks of Corythosaurus and Iguanodon as the third background ornithiscian with nothing to do.

This is already known based on the official synopsis and set photos, the thing that kicks the plot off is a pandemic that only the DNA of giant creatures can cure for some reason. I think it's a good framework and gives us a good enough excuse for action scenes.

Some character and plot details, admittedly this doesn't matter as much to me because it's impossible to tell whether it'll be good or not until I actually see it.

The official synopsis mentions a "secret" that everyone is suspecting is a mutated dinosaur of some kind, I'm just whatever on it. That and the fact it ends in a fight scene just tells me that despite being advertised as a whole new chapter, the franchise is still repeating the same tropes as always.

Overall, nothing here that's really turning me off to the movie, mainly just a lot of little small grievances with some exciting news to balance it out. I'm still excited but cautious, we'll see how it turns out this summer.

[skin-slave]

Getting everything ready for their arrival party.

Can't talk rn, I'm doing hot girl shit.

*brings the kids back to Mantacorp Island to hunt Daniel for sport*

[stagbeetleboy]

Anyway the reason my long standing obsession with Jurassic park is back bc my niece has taken I liking to dinosaurs and we’ve been watching camp cretaceous.

She just turned two and saying shit like brontosaurus (her favorite) and mosasaurus. Children are insane.

Anonymous sent: 🔥 + Jurassic Park series

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

I'm personally sick of the argument of "the dinosaurs aren't scary anymore" in the Jurassic World movies. For one thing, they can still be scary. Not even taking the hybrids into account, they still can pose a threat like the raptors, the Carnotaurus, T-Rex, Mosasaurus. Hell, even herbivores like Oranosaurus can be threatening. Thing is that it's not just the movies where the dinosaurs are threatening. Battle at Big Rock had the Allosaurus, Camp Cretaceous had the Oranosaurs, Nothosaurus, the Mosasaurus, even the Spinosaurus as well. And I don't even need to see Chaos Theory to know there are quite a few threatening dinos there as well.

And even then, let's not forget that these movies are treating the dinosaurs as what they were in the first place; animals, not monsters. Animals only attack when threatened or hungry or just possibly agitated.

And people like to bring up that it "makes Ian Malcolm wrong". No it doesn't. It's not just all about whether chaos and mayhem happens with these dinosaurs roaming around. It's also a case of we made our bed, so we sleep in it. We grow, learn, adapt, and survive in a world with dinosaurs in the same period as us.

Also if anyone doesn't think the scene in Fallen Kingdom with the Brachiosaurus on the docks was sad as fuck, then we can't be friends. That scene had me tear up in the theaters.

December 22, 2015: Jurassic World Is Closed

[goji-pilled]

and the worst part is not a single scene or moment stands out as particularly awesome, chilling or shocking or anything memorable to me

the closest to that (again, for me) was claire's encounter with the therizinosaurus since at least some tension was build (even if the theri just slapping that goat away completely broke me like wtf 😭 literally slapstick omfg) but even this is just dgandgs

like in jurassic park you got rexy breaking out, rexy showing up at the end, "welcome to jurassic park", the kitchen scene

...i can't tell you anything about the lost world actually because i have not seen that movie in years.

but in jurassic park 3 there's the spinosaurus breaking the tyrannosaurus' neck, you got the moment where they hear the jinggle and it's the damn spinosaurus, alan realizing the raptors are communicating

in jurassic world you got "it can camouflage!", the mosasaurus eating the indominus, (my personal favourite from the movie) getting rexy

even in fallen kingdom there's the moment the brachiosaurus is left on the island, the indoraptor escaping with that fucking smile on its face, or macie hiding from the indoraptor under her blanket

even in fucking camp cretaceous is the whole mosasaurus encounter in season 1, yaz running from the scorpius rex while in season 3 😭

chaos theory had that awesome parallel of darius with claire in season 1, the hippo/suchomimus fight in season 2, red using clicking to turn the leucistic baryonyx against the scientist

but. like. nothing memorable (again. for me) in dominion. which makes me so sad!!!

at least it makes me even more excited about how good rebirth looks so far like waow.... we are so back

now i thought about dominion and got mad all over again like how do you have the basis for literally any possible scenario now that the dinosaurs are on the mainland and STILL fuck it up

like why is this movie so fucking action heavy, why is there no room to breathe why are you just shooting out scene after scene without letting anything linger or build any tension

also WHY do the giganotosaurus and the pyroraptor look like THAT

i just KNOW you mfs had the artists design an acrocanthosaurus (which it would've made the design so much more bearable) but then decided you desperatly needed that "the biggest carnivore that ever lived" line so effing bad (it's not btw) (it's t.rex and that has been in every movie of the series) that you had them make last minute changes (i fucking hate the dominion giganotosaurus)

and the pyroraptor is actually a great design. love it! but why is the HEAD like THAT. GIRL.

dimetrodon was cool though and therizinosaurus was too 👍

on the other hand you ALSO fucked up using the atrociraptors so bad, chaos theory had to take them and actually make them cool and interesting (love what they did with them in the show god bless)

Setting Sail Into Dangerous Waters with Camp Cretaceous Season Four | Where Will They Go?

At the end of Season Three of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, the camp fam set sail into the vast unknown in search of rescue from Isla Nublar and the fallen Jurassic World theme park. With only a compass to lead the way and Kenji at the helm, the six kids set out to rescue themselves with a ship left behind by Season Two's villains, Mitch and Tiff. Nothing yet has been revealed about where these kids will call their next port, but I'm sure they are intent on making it to mainland Costa Rica... but will they actually make it there? There are a lot of variables in the mix, so let's take a look at some of the routes our camp fam may take on the way home.

Costa Rica

Isla Nublar lies 120 miles West of the mainland, so with enough luck and fuel, the kids of Camp Cretaceous certainly hope to make it to Costa Rica. It's their salvation. In the canonical timeline of Jurassic World, the campers set off of Nublar about six months after the events of Jurassic World, which means the hangar at the end of the 2015 film would no longer be ground zero for rescue operations. After six months of no rescue, it seems as though no one is looking for the lost children anymore. Hopefully they can find safety with the authorities or someone that may have heard about the missing kids from the Jurassic World incident. This outcome is their safest sanctuary. It's the ultimate goal.

There is one issue with this goal - what is on the boat? We certainly heard what seems to be a dinosaur within the locked cabin, so our campers could be responsible for a dinosaur loose in Costa Rica. It could make for an interesting tie to the original Jurassic Park novel with loads of reports of small lizards harming people around the coast. Ultimately, would one dino lost on the coast of Costa Rica be all that interesting? Depending on what the dino is, it could be interesting... but I think there are better alternatives.

Back to Nublar

This option is certainly the least interesting of the bunch. With the kids setting out for a hopeful future, having them backtrack to Isla Nublar would be a huge step backwards for the show. We've already spent three seasons trying to escape the island, so setting course for somewhere new is the best option. Of course there are still plenty of unexplored sections of the island, but it feels like it's time for a change of scenery.

The Mosasaurus

At this point in the franchise timeline, the events at the beginning of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom have occurred, which means that the Mosasaurus has escaped into open water. Our camp fam set out on the open seas, hoping to head to safety, but what if something got in their way? It's highly possibly that along their trip towards the mainland, they encounter the Mosasaurus. This outcome could be utterly dire for our campers, as the Mosasaurus outsizes their yacht and could capsize them in an instant. While nothing too drastic will happen to our core group, I wonder if this encounter sets them off-course... potentially to another island.

Isla Sorna

The campers set sail with hopes of floating eastward towards mainland Costa Rica... but what if they went the wrong way? The Mosasaurus could be the perfect catalyst for them chartering the wrong course, but it's already been hinted at that they could easily lose their way. During Season Three, Kenji couldn’t figure out how to use the compass that they picked up from his dad's penthouse, so who's to say he won't get turned around again. Isla Sorna is one island in the Five Deaths island chain, 87 miles West of Isla Nublar - 207 Miles West of Costa Rica. If they hit Sorna, they are heading in the wrong direction. The wrong direction for the kids, could be the correct direction for the show. Let's consider all Isla Sorna has to offer.

The island originally seen in The Lost World: Jurassic Park and further in Jurassic Park III could be the answer many secrets this franchise holds. It's an island shrouded in mystery and potentially even lies. As we've been told, Isla Sorna is supposedly vacant. The DPG website repeatedly mentions the animals being shipped from Sorna to Nublar to populate Jurassic World as the park was building up operations, but also for the well-being of the creatures on an ever growing mysterious island. Did they move all the animals? That's to be foreseen, but at this point it seems unlikely.

One animal that could still be roaming Isla Sorna is the formidable Spinosaurus. The Spinosaurus could hold the key to the origin of hybrid dinosaur testing, giving the kids something to solve. The Spino's story was unresolved in Jurassic Park III, so it would be welcoming to see what happened after Paul Kirby sent a flare hurdling towards the vicious creature, setting the lagoon ablaze. According to the DPG, the dinosaur could be the reason for decreasing population and well being of other species throughout the island, so is it alone or does it have any island-mates?

There's also the possibility of animals lurking around old research facilities or creating nests near the coast lines - the Velociraptors of Isla Sorna. We have seen three variations of Velociraptor on the island - the male Tiger raptors of The Lost World and the white females and quilled males of Jurassic Park III. It seems doubtful that these variants would have been killed off by the Spinosaurus or shipped to Isla Nublar for the park opening, so the opportunity still exists for the raptors to be alive on the island. It would be wonderful if the campers stumbled upon the answers regarding why there are so many variants of raptor.

One problem with heading to Isla Sorna is how similar it looks to Isla Nublar now. The campers lived for months at their fallen Camp Cretaceous tree house, which was set among Redwood style trees, a look synonymous with Isla Sorna. At this point, how would Dreamworks Animation distinguish these two islands, as to make it seem like they are not just back on Nublar?

Shipmates

Let's further consider the Camp Cretaceous crew's current situation with a stowaway on board. It sounds like a dinosaur locked in the onboard cabin and I've heard speculation on everything from a young Scorpios, to a Troodon, a Baryonyx and Hap, the mercenary from Season two. I do like to consider the dino on board to be a baby Velociraptor bred directly from Velociraptor Blue due to parthenogenesis. It's been alluded to in the Jurassic World Aftermath VR game that Blue may have been able to reproduce asexually, so this could be a fun way to further that concept see in Jurassic Park and in Season Three of Camp Cretaceous with the second Scorpios Rex. Anyway, that's all besides the point, because a dinosaur is on this boat and it will have consequences.

Does the dinosaur on board force them to turn back to Nublar? Will it sidetrack them to a different island? Does it somehow signal the Mosasaurus toward their yacht? Will this dino cause mischief on the mainland? Pretty much all options are on the table when you have a dinosaur on board, but ultimately I hope it becomes the next Bumpy. Season three seemingly gave us a send-off for our favorite young Ankylosaurus (until the future, we hope), so we could use another fun dino side-kick. If it's a sweet young dinosaur, then maybe our camper friends won't get too sidetracked, but will still need to deal with the consequences once their arrive at their final destination.

Mantah Corp

Our final option sends the campers directly into the hands of the enemy. Mantah Corp have been on the peripherals of the Camp Cretaceous story from the beginning. We've seen their drone pop up in season one and in season three, plus we've heard their stories and connections. So when do we actually see Mantah Corp play a larger role? From what has been relayed within the series, it sounds like Mantah Corp has been in the shadows from the very beginning - even before Jurassic Park. Mantah Corp has wanted dinosaurs since before Wu made the first cloned creature, so we know they are dead-set on getting the DNA or better yet, some dinosaurs themselves.

From the previously outlined concepts, there could be a few results here for Mantah Corp. If our camp fam does encounter a Mosasaurus in the ocean and needs rescue, who better than Mantah Corp? There's also the chance of Mantah Corp setting up shop at a nearby island - Isla Sorna anyone? The team from Mantah Corp has to be close to Nublar, as they sent drones on recon missions to grab data and spy on the dinosaur activity. Sorna would give them a great base of operations. Let's say that Mantah Corp doesn't have the means currently to transport big dinosaurs off the islands, but they could have the capability of smuggling something small, a baby perhaps? I think Mantah Corp has to play a big role in Season four and I'd love to see it all play out on Isla Sorna.

What do you think? Are there any other alternatives that interest you? The kids from Camp Cretaceous certainly will have an adventure ahead of them in Season Four and I can't wait to see how it all plays out. I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Getting their full use out of the Mosasaurus would have led to a much shorter Camp Cretaceous and a much longer Chaos Theory.

Not sure if maximizing the mosasaurus would've led to fewer issues or more... 🤔
