I wanted to continue my rant about the Nostalgia Critic vs. the Jurassic Park movies from the Rings of Power topic but figured that wasn't the right thread for it. So here goes...

The first Jurassic Park movie the NC reviewed, and the only one he did so before the initial cancellation, was The Lost World. He mocks the heroes' concerns over the dinosaurs at first by flashing back to scenes of the dinosaurs in the first film causing trouble...even though the dinosaurs in question in Lost World were plant-eating dinosaurs getting rounded-up by the Ingen guys as opposed to the dinosaurs in the scenes he shows from the first film being meat-eaters, implying Doug thinks all dinosaurs are carnivorous monsters and not just animals with their own sets of necessities. This basically sets the tone for the rest of the review where he acts like he has no idea why we should be rooting for the heroes against the villains, making it seem like he completely misunderstands the whole idea of the franchise. His other JP reviews don't help at all, with his review of the first one focusing on its strengths as blockbuster entertainment rather than its techno-thriller plot (e.g. he asks how no one realized the dinosaurs had frog DNA when the implication is clearly more that the people in charge had no idea how that would impact the dinosaurs. Granted it's still a good question why frog DNA was used in the first place, although the book explains it better at least).
