#jwcc big eatie

[beloveddinostar]

Just rewatched S5, and I gotta say, I teared up a little after seeing Big Eatie lose that dino fight at the beginning. She was trying to protect her daughter and almost died because of it (Happy to see her win later on, though, or else I never would’ve gotten over it). I loved the mother-daughter dynamic they had; they were seriously the only dinos I got attached to (along with Bumpy, of course).

Looking more closely at it Androcles saw a great big thorn pressed into the paw, which was the cause of all the lion's trouble. Plucking up courage he seized hold of the thorn and drew it out of the lion's paw, who roared with pain when the thorn came out, but soon after found such relief from it that he fawned upon Androcles and showed, in every way that he knew, to whom he owed the relief.

2 posts in one day? Crazy right?

Anyway, bumpy my girl, and some class sketches

[campbenji]

Seeing as you're a Bowman Brothers enthusiast, I was wondering what's your favorite moment between Kenji and Darius?

I did not think this would be as hard as it was.

But, out of the entire show, I think I'd have to say their talk about the field guide during The Watering Hole. It's so sweet and the contrast between Kenji complaining about it earlier on the episode and encouraging Darius nevertheless is such a sibling thing to do. After that, the s5 apology hug and the family hug in the finale are head to head.

[teartra]

I’m not a big fan of saving animals that are able to kill me in any seconds (leave it to professional) but if I were one of the JWCC kids, I would also be attached to them

[fruitflowermyself]

Listen when I started Camp Cretaceous two days ago I didn’t know what to expect but needless to say a Grey Gardens reference didn’t even make the list yet HERE WE ARE. Little Eatie just needs an American flag and a headscarf

[continentalblue]

my review and thoughts of jwcc s4 since I bingewatched it with my sibling in one day (watch out for spoilers!):

> I really liked Kenji and Brooklynn's relationship. It was really sweet, although in the early episodes it was kinda heavy-handed. It was kinda unexpected and I wish they put more emphasis on some other ships but that's a mild complaint of mine

> The Benrius moments!! The sandstorm, Ben sounding so angry when Kash hurt Darius, them constantly touching each other's shoulders omg. Not as much as S3 but still a nice amount

> Yasammy!! They shared a bed and all the touching. Love them

> Yaz finally being able to break down. I wish they explored all of the camper's mental health a little bit more though

> BEN THINKING YAZ HAD A CRUSH ON HIM AND HER NOT CORRECTING IT IN ORDER TO SET KENJI/BROOKLYNN UP LMAOO

> I loved Mae. she's my wife now

> Is Yaz's mom dead?? Regardless she clearly loves her mom a lot and it's making my heart melt

> Little Eatie and Big Eatie were done SO DIRTY

> I wish they explored the camper's backstories more

> Kash sucks

> THE PLOTTWIST AT THE END WITH KENJI'S F A T H E R

>S5 needs to come out soon I swear

> Overall, I rate this season somewhere between 8.5 and 9.5 out of 10. I liked it a lot.

JWCC Season 4 Review

So, since I have finished season 4 of Camp Cretaceous it is time to give my review of it. This review will not be spoiler free so if you haven’t watched this season turn back now and prepare yourself for a while ride full of emotions. Just be thankful that the read more option exists, because this is going to be long.

First things first, the dinosaurs. They were all really good and I loved them a lot, seeing Big Eatie and Little Eatie interact was really sweet, which made manta corp’s shit hurt. Angel, Rebel and Firecracker were all really sweet and they are now my children. Pierce was really cool and it was nice to finally see the spinosaurus and dilophosaurus again. But, they were barely seen. Camp Cretaceous is meant to be about dinosaurs and yet the dinos always felt like they were thought about last. We barely got to see them and it was honestly very upsetting. If only they didn’t kill Murphy the compy, then the camp fan would have at least had a Dino companion. That being said, that scene with Bumpy broke my heart and made me cry. She thinks that Ben abandoned her and that hurts so much.

The new villain that they introduced, being Kash, is just a grown toddler with anger issues. He really wasn’t scary and the only thing I was worried about when it came to him was him punching Darius. He wasn’t threatening at all. I want the kids to beat him up. The most threatening person this season was his boss, Daniel Kon, who is Kenji’s father, and yet he was only included in the last 2 episodes.

The other new character, however, is one of the only truly good things about this season. Her name is Dr Mae Turner and she is my wife now. She was just really quirky and sweet and naïve and it was obvious that she truly loves the dinosaurs that she works with, and was just lead on by the wrong people. The scenes with her in them were great and I wish we got to see her more. The way she interacted with all the kids showed that she really cared about them, with an example being how she responded to Yaz’s nightmares. I love her.

Before I get into the other characters, my thoughts on the plot. The plot felt really flimsy and it had way too many loose ends. A decent amount of the screen time went to developing an interesting relationship that I will get into later, which meant there was less time to fit the actual plot and other character development into, which made the entire season suffer. It was mostly based around the robots that they brought in, called BRADs, which weren’t even that good. They would get beheaded way too easily and just really didn’t feel like a threat. They also just got really repetitive, which made this season less enjoyable.  The robots felt really out of place in the jw cannon and we’re only there for convenience. The whole ‘we are building a Dino Battle Royale on this island for rich people to pay for to enjoy’ thing was a good concept, but it was executed poorly. The cliffhanger at the finale, Daniel being revealed as Kenji’s dad, was very clearly only there so that we had some action. Most of the action in the show fell a little short. The only episodes that were really good were episode 1, 2 and kinda 3. Even with all of that, it was good to see Manta Corp finally be used as a main villain, even if I don't like how the writers went about it all that much.

Now, onto the campers.

Let’s start with Darius. Everyone in the fandom thought that this would be his season, since he’s the freaking main character for gods sake, but he got no character development whatsoever. He felt off and a bit ooc for close to the entire season and it really messed with me. Even when he got kidnapped he got pretty much no development and it was only used as a plot point. Him choosing the mainland over the dinosaurs was not in character at all and the fact that they played it off like he had no ptsd was so dumb. Like, he is fucking 12 and has been leading this group for 6 months, he is going to have nightmares. Don’t tell me he isn’t. His interactions with Mae at the start of the season were sweet and I liked them, but he shouldn’t have trusted her at the start. He had already been betrayed by an adult that he trusted, being Mitch, so it made no sense that he trusted her straight away.

Sammy was one of the two characters that wasn’t out of character at all this season, and I am so happy about that fact. Watching her cope with her time working for Manta Corp and the consequences of that was so interesting, but I really wish that we got to see it more. We saw her angry at Kash for manipulating her family and upset about the fact that the new hybrids were partly her fault, that’s it. Other than that, seeing her and Yaz still talk and be really close was a relief. I get why they didn’t make yasammy cannon this season, since both girls had a lot to work through, but the fact that they didn’t stop their interactions gives me hope for next season. You guys can not look at the scene with the two of them laying in bed talking about things they miss from the mainland so that Yaz can finally get to sleep and tell me they don’t have chemistry.

Yasmina’s side plot was one of the best things in this season. Seeing how she is coping with all the shit she’s been through, nightmares and panic attacks and all, was quite good. It was one of the things in this season that was actually written very well. She just really wasn’t coping, and it was good to see the other characters say that that’s ok. I do, again, wish that we saw more of it. I am also quite surprised that this is the only season that Yaz hasn’t messed up her ankle, not a bad thing, just an observation. My one complaint was the fact that Yaz acted as wingman for the romance. It has been shown throughout the entire series that she isn't very good with emotions, so seeing her realize what was happening right away felt quite ooc. All in all she was great as always.

Ben carried this entire season and I love him for it. Not only was he the other character that was never ooc, but he also went through one of the two cases of good development that happened this season, the other case being Yaz. Seeing him trying to find the balance between 'fearless island Ben' and 'scared before camp Ben' in the first few episodes was really good and hearing the line "maybe now, you're finally just Ben" broke me. We also got to see some of his trauma shine through, finally. I mean, the kid got pulled out of a monorail by pteranodons, dropped to the ground and had to learn how to live with only dinosaurs for company for 3 months, changing his entire personality to do so. That's pretty damn traumatic. His response to seeing the pteranodons on the new island, as well as with the berries, was actually perfect. Seeing him allow himself to get attached to another dinosaur was just really sweet and I loved seeing him and Firecracker interact. The only problem I had with the way Ben was done this season is that they never truly addressed his trauma like they have Yaz's. Ben's trauma has been overlooked since season 2 and I really hope it gets properly addressed in season 5 when it comes out.

Now, Brooklynn and Kenji. I have decided to do them both together because they both pretty much only interact with each other in this season anyways so it feels fitting. Before I get into this one I have a few things to say. If you ship them that is completely fine, enjoy your ship being canon. I do not dislike this ship specifically because it ruins benji and dinostar, funnily enough I also ship benrius a bit, which does the same thing.

I have a lot of feelings when it comes to Brooklynn and Kenji dating, most of them not being entirely positive. This ship was so out of place, had no buildup, and in my opinion made both of the characters quite ooc. We went from them having a sibling like relationship in season 3 to Kenji not being able to speak properly around Brooklynn and Brooklynn finding his flaws cute. They pushed this ship so hard and made it take up time that could have been used to make the whole season better. I was completely fine with other ships happening, this one just came completely out of the blue. I'm pretty sure the only time it seemed like Kenji liked Brooklynn was the start of the first season when he flirted with her, and even then she never showed any sign of liking him back. It also doesn't really feel entirely realistic. Brooklynn is 13 and Kenji is 15, which in Australia would make them in grade 7 and grade 9 respectively. In high schools here at least, you would never see grade 9's get with grade 7's, and if they do they break up pretty quickly, just because those relationships don't really work. The ship also messed up the thing between Kenji and Darius. Literally every reason that Brooklynn gave to Kenji about why he was angry at Darius for leaving her behind would have worked better than the actual reason, being that he had a little crush. It completely destroyed the storyline and both Kenji and Darius' character development that could have came from it. It was so frustrating to hear Kenji say that that was the reason, and it's one of the main reasons I dislike the ship. Sorry to anyone who ships it but I really hope that they break up next season. Other than the ship, Kenji losing his beard in that one scene was funny and I wish that Ben and Brooklynn got to finally hang out by themselves. I just want to see the crime duo hang out and commit crimes. Also, Brooklynn has two dads!!! That is so cool, thank you writers. While I’m on the topic of Brooklynn’s family it was very nice to learn about Yaz and Brooklynn's families, since we have never got to hear about them before. We are also going to get to know more about Darius because Brandon is being brought into season 5, which is cool.

All in all, though I had many problems with this season, I did enjoy it.

Review summary: Dinos needed to be shown more but are very loved. Bumpy made me cry. The BRADs were weak af. Kash sucks and I want the camp fam to beat him up like the child he is. Daniel should have been seen more. Mae is amazing and I love her. The plot was a bit flimsy. Darius deserves character development. Sammy is great and deserves more screen time. Yaz normally runs from her feelings like the track star she is but didn't this time and understood her trauma, which was good to see. Ben carried this season and finally showed his trauma. I don't really like Brooklynn and Kenji as a couple and hope that they break up. I'm happy that we finally know more about Brooklynn and Yasmina's families and I did enjoy this season, even with its flaws.

Dear benji fans (implied spoiler warning, though we aren’t sure if it’s cannon yet)

The chorus (and pretty much entirety) of Heather is really starting to hit harder isn’t it? Gods I really hope it isn’t cannon.

We got the spinosaurus and dilophosaurus back, but at what cost?

Oh yeah, the small cost of the fandom’s sanity

Underappreciated moment:

Darius attempting to get the attention of two Tyrannosaurs, who at this point now have absolutely zero interest in him because he doesn't qualify as food or a threat. He's just Background Noise. That one human they're a little fond of because he was helpful and friendly.

[swan2swan]

Regarding that complaint I had yesterday about the half-baked action in the earlier episode...yeah, this sequence was a reminder that the show still Had It.

Pulling a T. Rex out from under a tree using a giant vehicle while her daughter menaces you in confusion? Once again pushing the world of man and dinosaur together in a way that calls back to The Lost World?

Splendid work. Perfect scene. Beautifully illustrated.

[swan2swan]

Camp Cretaceous knows the law of 90s Dinosaur Sequels: when you lead off with one T. rex, you follow through with two T. rexes.

Big Eatie didn't even feel like eatie-ing this dude.

So Androcles was condemned to be thrown to the lions, and on the appointed day he was led forth into the Arena and left there alone with only a spear to protect him from the lion. The Emperor was in the royal box that day and gave the signal for the lion to come out and attack Androcles. But when it came out of its cage and got near Androcles, what do you think it did? Instead of jumping upon him it fawned upon him and stroked him with its paw and made no attempt to do him any harm.

Looking more closely at it Androcles saw a great big thorn pressed into the paw, which was the cause of all the lion's trouble. Plucking up courage he seized hold of the thorn and drew it out of the lion's paw, who roared with pain when the thorn came out, but soon after found such relief from it that he fawned upon Androcles and showed, in every way that he knew, to whom he owed the relief.
