JURASSIC PARK (1993) Dir. Steven Spielberg

[tsibeyantiger]

You know what I love about Jurassic World? That it makes the "We won't make the same mistakes again- No, this time you're making totally new ones" quote entirely come true. Jurassic Park failed because they put dangerous animals they hardly knew anything about in a theme park setting and thought they could control them- and then, surprised pikachu face, it turned out they couldn't. But the point is, they actually learned from it. In Jurassic World, they knew more about the animals, their wants and needs, their natural behaviour, and designed the park around it. They didn't try to control the animals in situations where they couldn't, and focused on avoiding these situations and keeping everything in a setting where they actually COULD keep them under control. And it worked AMAZINGLY WELL. While Jurassic Park already failed when it was still under construction, Jurassic World opened its gates for the public. Hell, they were able to allow people to go canoeing next to sauropodes without having a single accident. The park was open for a long time and was incredibly successful. And then, they decided to create a new spectacular dinosaur just out of pure spite. They didn't know what kind of animal they were creating, and neither they cared. And then, shocker!, said animal destroyed Jurassic World because no one could predict how it would behave.

Jurassic Park is not a series about the dangers of bioengineering. It is a series about how capitalist greed turns bioengineering into a catastrophe.

Watching Jurassic Park as a kid and the main takeaway understandably being wow!! dinosaurs :)) vs reading the book as an adult where it’s more along the lines of… John Hammond get in the submarine. The dinosaurs have literally already escaped the island and are running amok killing local infants before the main cast even gets there and presumably also nuking the local ecosystem. The raptors have killed multiple workmen and have a taste for human blood. He set up shop in Costa Rica so he could skirt around various regulations and also because he doesn’t view the locals as real people worthy of not being eaten by dinosaurs. He’s not only brought the dinosaurs back from the dead, he’s planning to immediately monetize this by exposing the public to newly zombified wild animals that the most accredited scientists have incredibly limited knowledge on. He invited his own grandchildren to an island populated by undead carnivores just so he could be like see! Would I invite my own grandchildren to skulldeath island if it was dangerous? Checkmate liberals! But that’s exactly what he did!! He refuses to breed dinosaurs that won’t eat the guests even though they could literally do that because he wants the experience to be authentic or something?! Ian Malcolm’s over here prattling on about chaos theory and it’s like I’m good man! I do not need mathematics to tell you this is going to end badly! Hammond is the most realistic depiction of a real life billionaire, utterly unconcerned with and unappreciative of the world he actually lives in because it doesn’t allow him to play toys with the basic tenants of life and death, so instead of putting his money toward bettering the real world he tries to tear it up by the roots and build one perfectly tailored to his own preferences. John Hammond kys!!

Jurassic Park

Watching the movie:

Reading the book:

To anyone who hasn’t read the book, it is  genuinely horrifying. It’s great.

Is there any kind of active Jurassic park/world fandom on here? I feel like there should be and I've seen some good fanart but im not really seeing any blogs that are kinda centered around it like with other fandoms. If that is you, please step forward, i am fixating all alone. This is like the tumblr equivalent of me sending out smoke signals here

Do not give this man dinosaur DNA!

Okay its like 2.30 am, I can’t sleep and have this idea stuck in my head and I just KNOW I‘m not the only one, although reddit has like two posts asking about it and I found like just two fanarts? Nevertheless I had to write it and I‘m sorry if its not good or anything and sorry for not factchecking the timeline or wordings of things but I‘m too lazy to watch the movie while writing so yeah, just bear with me on this one.

Jurassic Park: A New Beginning with Steve Irwin

Chapter 1: The Crocodile Hunter and the Dinosaurs

John Hammond never did anything halfway. When he set out to bring dinosaurs back from extinction, he spared no expense. And when it came time to ensure his dream was viable—to secure expert approval—he knew he couldn’t rely on paleontologists alone. No, this wasn’t just about fossilized bones or ancient plant life. This was about living, breathing animals.

And so, instead of stopping at Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, Hammond decided to seek out one more voice—one that spoke not of the past, but of the present. A man whose name was known across the world. A man who had spent his life face-to-face with nature’s deadliest predators.

Steve Irwin.

Queensland, Australia — 1993

The midday sun beat down on the Australia Zoo, glinting off the water of the crocodile enclosure. A small crowd stood gathered along the fence, leaning forward in anticipation. The air buzzed with excitement as Steve Irwin—barefoot, clad in khaki, and grinning ear to ear—stood at the water’s edge, holding a chunk of raw meat.

“Alright, mates, watch this,” he called out, his voice full of boyish enthusiasm. “Now, this is Agro. He’s a big salty—fifteen feet, over a thousand kilos, and an absolute ripper of a croc. But what makes him real special is how he strikes. Watch the way he uses the water for cover…”

A ripple moved through the pond. The crowd gasped.

Then, in an explosion of force, the crocodile lunged upward, jaws wide, teeth flashing in the sunlight. Steve barely flinched as he tossed the meat in the air. Agro’s massive jaws snapped shut with a bone-shaking CRACK, and he slid back beneath the surface.

“Crikey, did you see that?” Steve laughed, turning back to the crowd. “Perfect precision. That’s a predator that’s been evolving for millions of years. Just incredible, right?”

The audience erupted in applause, but Steve had already turned his attention back to the water, watching Agro retreat to the depths.

That’s when he heard the voice.

“Absolutely magnificent, Mr. Irwin,” came the smooth, practiced tone of an older man. “I can see why they call you ‘The Crocodile Hunter.’”

Steve turned, wiping sweat from his brow. Before him stood an elderly man in a crisp white suit, leaning lightly on a cane. His blue eyes twinkled with something Steve recognized instantly—passion.

“Well, g’day, mate!” Steve grinned, stepping forward to shake his hand. “Steve Irwin. And who might you be?”

“John Hammond,” the man said, shaking Steve’s hand warmly. “I’ve come a long way to meet you.”

Inside Steve’s Office – Australia Zoo

A fan whirred softly, barely cutting through the Queensland heat. Steve sat behind his cluttered desk, arms folded, as John Hammond spread out a series of photos and documents in front of him. What Steve saw nearly took his breath away.

“Now, I know this must seem… impossible,” Hammond said, watching Steve’s face closely. “But it’s real. I’ve created a biological preserve—an island where dinosaurs live again.”

Steve let out a slow breath, rubbing his jaw. “You’re telling me… you’ve actually got real dinosaurs? Not just bones? Living, breathing dinosaurs?”

Hammond nodded. “Thanks to cutting-edge genetic engineering, yes. And that’s why I’m here, Mr. Irwin. I need someone who understands animals—not as distant relics of the past, but as living creatures.”

Steve barely blinked before he let out a booming laugh. “Mate, that’s the most bonkers thing I’ve ever heard! But crikey, if it’s true, I have to see it.”

Hammond’s smile widened. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

Two Days Later — En Route to Isla Nublar

The InGen helicopter cut through the sky, the ocean stretching endlessly below. Steve leaned out slightly, watching the waves roll beneath them. He felt the kind of exhilaration he hadn’t experienced since wrangling his first croc as a boy.

Across from him sat Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, paleontologists whose expertise Hammond had also recruited. Grant, ever skeptical, kept shooting Steve sidelong glances.

“So, you’re some kind of… what, wildlife expert?” Grant finally asked.

Steve grinned. “Something like that. I work with crocs mostly, but I’ve wrangled just about everything—big cats, venomous snakes, even the odd cassowary. If it’s dangerous, I study it. If it’s endangered, I protect it.”

Grant frowned slightly. “And Hammond thinks you’ll have insight into dinosaurs?”

“Well, mate,” Steve said, flashing a mischievous grin, “I figure a predator’s a predator, whether it’s got scales or feathers. Crocs haven’t changed much in millions of years. What’s a dinosaur but a big, scaly mystery waiting to be figured out?”

Ellie smirked. “I think I like you.”

Hammond clapped his hands together. “Excellent! Now, hold on tight—because welcome… to Jurassic Park!”

As the Island Appears…

Through the chopper’s windows, the massive gates of Jurassic Park loomed in the distance. Lush greenery stretched as far as the eye could see, untouched wilderness hiding ancient creatures long thought extinct.

Steve leaned forward, eyes sparkling like a child’s. “Ohhh, mate, this is gonna be wild…”

And as the helicopter descended, none of them had any idea just how wild it was about to get.
