Current Events > Missed opportunities in Jurassic World 1 & 2. Spoilers

(+) Yeah! (+)

They kept teasing that they were gonna do that B-movie scy-fy horror of mixing human and dinosaur DNA with the indomitable rex killing "for sport" hint but then it turns out, nope, it was mixed with raptor dna. Fine.

Then in the 2nd movie they had the chance to do this again but instead the new indomitable rex is... a hybrid of a hybrid? Lol I mean the premise alone was dumb but that in particular was like... wha?

Then they teased a clone little girl and for a minute it seemed she might have dino DNA herself because her eyes were momentarily like... slit-like, like a lizard or snake or similar reptile. Will see if they do that in Jurassic World 3 (yes lol there's a 3rd one on the way, somehow even the 2nd one hit a billion despite no nostalgic ties to the first movie)

they missed an opportunity to have a character say, "you know, [character], this really is a Jurassic World."

But... they literally do say that so um?

If they want human-dinosaur hybrids, I'm sure Universal could pick up the rights to Turok: Dinosaur Hunter super cheap.

Leave that out of Jurassic Park / Jurassic World.

reel talk I actually unironically liked the first one, thought it was way better than the 2 sequels, even with the (somehow) worse cgi. Plus chris pratt so...

I'm in the minority here, but I liked Jurassic World 2 better than 1.

The first movie focused too much on the Indominous Rex. The second movie remembered that variety is part of the appeal of dinosaurs.

Theres a reason they dropped the human/Dino hybrid stuff: it was dumb as fuck. Alleged plot details leaked about this prior to the second movie, iirc, and reception to these leaks wasless than stellar, lol. Its a good thing they changed it. The second movie could have been a lot worse than it was.

oh lol, they do? i've never seen it

Lol why, don't you like brainless popcorn movies? Something to just watch while munching on snacks for a good 2 hours

To convince you, the first movie literally had a nod of respect between the t-rex and raptor after they worked together to take care of a bigger threat.

It's because back in the mid 2000s, a JP 4 was planned and concept art was released of the horrifying human-dinosaur hybrid idea. Glad it never took off, but then they keep implying it in these new movies with baits and switches.

Oh and lastly, there's a scene where the raptors Chris Pratt was training turn on him because you know, dinosaurs, and then Chris Pratt is like "oh, so it's like that? After everything I've done for you guys?" and it shames them enough to put their head down in shame and then his favorite pet, one of the raptors, protects him instead
