    Anyone else initially expected everything to be fine again in JW2?

    Ok this might be a really bad assumption but I was also like barely ten when the first JW movie came out, so cute me some slack HAHA. Before JWFK came out I sincerely thought that the park would be fine and reopen after recapturing some animals and undergoing heavy reconstruction 😭

    Full Film Canon Timeline ... I think

    I recently made a post with what I thought was a good timeline, but some people in the community helped me out and corrected some errors. I BELIEVE this is fairly accurate, and if not please just be respectful when correcting me, or I will not give you the time of day to argue your point. This is a passion project acting more as a watch / play / read list for me that I want to be accurate for myself and others in the community that want to fully prepare for Rebirth. So if you have any constructive critisism I would love to hear it, otherwise I hope you enjoy!!!

    Full Film Canon Timeline - I Think...

    Hey guys, upon some constructive (and some very unconstructive) advice from this community, I made what I would consider to be a more accurate version of the canon timeline. If you have something that you think should be changed / moved / added just say it respectfully or it will be 100% ignored. I will not be tolerating any rude comments as this is more of a passion project for myself that I would like to use as a sort of watch / read list for myself in order to get even more hyped than I already am for Jurassic World: Rebirth. SO... that being said, if you have something to change and say it respectfully, I would LOVE to change my list to make it even more accurate for myself and the community that I love more than any other. Thank you guys in advanced for any help!

    Playing JW Evolution 2 a bit more

    And I got say, I just think the whole message and dinosaur preservation is kind of bulls* lol. This NEEDED to be darker (the films)

    I am totally in the mindset of Malcolm that they have to go. It's not the public's fault that they exist so why does everyone have to keep dying to preserve them?

    If we are talking Dominion, why should they have rights over every other species in nature. Why make it dangerous for everyone else in national parks so they can have a sanctuary?

    Like everyone says in this sub-reddit.. they are technically not dinosaurs.. so why are we preserving genetic theme park monsters at the risk of the public?

    Also, I have openly spoken about my disliking of Owen as a character.. but Claire.. Claire is INSANE. She has such a detachment with humanity that I'm starting to see why she would've been great as the villain in JW but they gave her a heroic arc, even though she kind of sucks?

    It just kind of sucks, because with a title like Dominion - I was thinking about the implications and consequences of such a scenario, the misfiring of this human error and the harsh reality of re-integrating a species with questionable DNA that has been long extinct back into modern existence.

    ..and we got locusts in the final product instead. This was soo close to being great.

    Also, there are some great parallels with the tragic horrors of Europeans and the invasion of the natural world.. it was SUCH a missed opportunity. I felt like they knew that and they got scared off because of toy sales and appealing more to the childlike mentality.

    I gotta say, if that were the case - these studios have zero idea what a kid like or dislikes.. TLW itself was a darker tone and I was completely fine watching that as a child.

    Thanks for listening to my tangent, gang.

    First look at the ‘Jurassic World Explorers’ cast

    😅

    Be nice, this is a show for 3 year olds. And yes the dinosaurs are friends that talk and sing and dance and play with each other.

    Jurassic World Explorers merchandise starts being sold in UK and German retailers this week, so the show is coming out very soon.

    Hopefully they make good old JP movies again

    Seriously.... no more future DNA splicing and modifying bs... oh and even more so, no more military trap either. (Or riding bike with dinos as well)

    JP 1and 2 was such a masterpiece that threw human into unknown dinosaur land.

    Nowadays it's just taming and making one badass Dino.

    Producers may be trying to match current technology and wrap those into new JP movies but they honestly don't have to.

    Who could have portrayed a novel-accurate John Hammond in 1993?

    Of all the characters that were altered for the film adaptation, John Hammond is the most famous example.

    A cold, greedy, and oblivious buisnessman that bears little (if any) resemblance to his film counterpart.

    Say Spielberg went a more darker direction and decided to make Hammond an asshole?

    That begs the question: What elderly actor in the early 90s could have pulled off that portrayal?

    Or could Richard Attenborough play him that way

    Keep in mind Richard did play a psychopath in 10 Rillington Place.

    Maybe if Gennaro hadn't run away, Rexy wouldn't have escaped...

    If you look closely, Rexy made no attempt to escape until after she saw Gennaro run away, and this may have triggered her hunting instinct. Before that, she just stood there watching the car and only started to actually destroy the fence after she saw Gennaro run away, so maybe if Gennaro hadn't run away, she would have just watched the cars a little longer, gotten tired and left.

    Indominus Rex is Dr Wu’s nightmare

    First of all, I’m not trying to rewrite the JW saga, I love those movies, just an alternate ‘what if’ scenario like the Marvel series of the same name. Also I like Jurassic World (as in the fictional attraction) so much I think there should be a multiverse timeline it is perfectly safe. So, what if the events of Jurassic World was Wu’s nightmare? He was thinking about making a hybrid but went to sleep first. In his dream, the dinosaur escaped, the park was destroyed, and then the world almost ended. Think of it, the trilogy would be worst case scenario for him, his creation starts killing people, then his life’s work is erased, then he becomes the villain. He’s so scared he doesn’t not create the indominus, and the volcano was only a metaphor of the dream, and Jurassic World never closes.

    Was Ian Malcolm anti-science?

    I was scrolling through Twitter (or X or whatever the hell it is now) and I saw a Xeet that said Ian in the movie specifically was anti-science.

    I know that Michael Crichton was (allegedly) an anti-science guy who claimed Ian as something of a self insert in the novel, but in the movie, I remember him being pro science, as well as pro nature. Maybe I was too distracted by Jeff’s face that I misinterpreted his whole character.

    Just realized that Alan in Dominion more closely resembles his novel counterpart

    I don't really care for Alan Grant's portrayal and overall uselessness in Dominion. It seems that Colin is a Malcolm fanboy, which is fine, but it is sad that is came at Alan's expense.

    That being said, I just recently noticed that her looks like how he is described in the first Jurassic Park novel.

    "A bearded, barrel chested man of 40"

    Same Neil was a great choice for Alan Grant and I will always stand by his portrayal. That being said, his casting in the first Jurassic Park film was definitely a flashy-Hollywood choice.

    Anyone who has seen a real paleontologist would know that many of them have a disheveled and rugged look (look up images of Jack Horner and Robert Bakker).

    Which is actually find cool. They are so devoted to their field they forgo their own vanity.

    But Alan Grant looked much more like the traditional image of a paleontologist in Dominion.

    Do you guys prefer Jurassic World or Fallen Kingdom?

    I just watched them both again for the first time in a while. If Fallen Kingdom had more Isla Nublar stuff and the first half was dragged out more, I think it might be better than JW. However, the second half of the movie in the mansion dragged it down for me.

    Watching JW again, it seemed to lose the JP feel and themes. I ran through the first five movies again recently and didn’t like it as much as I remembered. Just seemed too much like a generic blockbuster, and wasn’t as intelligent or scary or cool as previous ones. It seemed like they had great ideas for the overall plot, but when it came to details of it, they just threw in whatever they thought would look exciting. Still a great movie, but not as good as I remembered.

    The way the movies are, I’d rank them in release order. I remember coming out of the theater with my friend in 2018 though and saying that it was the second best, behind JP. I later reconsidered and decided it was only better than Dominion, but by a great margin.

    Anyway, thoughts?

    What do you think of the JW YouTuber Shadows/ShadowsLew

    He's a lesser known Jurassic World Theory YouTuber, and something just seems off about his videos. They're all in my opinion a bit over the top, but I'm not so sure about that either. Just can't find any good JP YouTuber except for Evolution Square atm, so I'm asking you guys for opinions :)

    I’m glad TLW book and movie are different.

    The JP book and movie had differences but for the large majority followed the same path.

    TLW book and movie (though having similar features and action sequences) are very different from each other and I’m happy about it. I think both are great stories and their differences made reading the book significantly more fun.

    What are some things you wished made the movie or are happy they made the change?

    Personally, Eddie’s death in the books was very fast and sort of a throw away. Though it’s probably a more realistic take on how that scenario would shake out with it being a blur and very fast.
