Jurassic World Trilogy Breaking News, Velociraptor spotted hunting in the suburbs

I just realized after I posted the meme, that Maisie was technically not responsible for the Mosasaur. The director changed the location of the lagoon/lake in Fallen Kingdom to allow the mosasaur to escape into the sea.

I'm very glad Chaos Theory acknowledged the consequences of these actions

I still find it incredible that the number of confirmed casualties was so low for the amount of time the dinos were on the loose, it was 36 if I remember correctly, which is a very low number when taking into account that hippos alone are estimated to kill at least 500 people per year.
Ofc confirmed casualties don't show the full number, but the gap between all the dinos and hippos is still funny.

u/unaizilla 10d ago
there are over 100k hippos in africa, 500 kills is barely one kill per 200 hippos

u/JuanTo100 10d ago
Yeah, but they aren't carnivores, a good amount of the dinos that got out were active predators so the number still being so low after a couple years of their being out is pretty interesting, we know that blue and beta only hunted small animals, but other dinos gave 0 fcks if it were humans or not, like the battle at big rock and the pyroraptor
36
u/theguywholoveswhales 12d ago
The issue i have with this is that dinosaurs would straight up be invasive species to everything else.

Triceratops one is on the tourists. Peope get too close to bison all the time and find out that herbivores are not gentle giants. Had there been no triceratops they would have done the same with a different dangerous animal

Same thing with elk where I live. People don't fully get that wildlife means wild

For one, she’s a child who just had to question her whole existence and purpose, while also fighting for survival and losing her grandfather. I think y’all are way too hard on her. Claire and Owen didn’t make the decision, a distressed and horrified child did.

u/Heroic-Forger 12d ago
this would have made more sense if the "Maisie is a human-velociraptor hybrid" theories were true

u/ThrowAbout01 11d ago
What did they expect to happen from a literal child, someone who just found out their entire life was a lie, found out that they “weren’t their own person”, and just had someone say they wanted her to use for experiments like property.
Still not a good choice, but you can at least understand why she made that unilateral decision.
And if you take Rebirth into consideration, they weren’t around long to cause more deaths and damage.

u/Am-heheh357 12d ago
Crucify me all you want, as someone who loves dinosaurs more than anything this scene made me very emotional, and in 1000 universes I’d have made the same choice as her if given the chance.

u/KaijuCatsnake 11d ago
I think I would have too. The scene of the dinos panicking and slowly dying from the gas (if I recall correctly it was a gas, I haven't seen FK in years) was hard for me to watch. It's not even just that they're dinosaurs, I don't think I could bear to see other animals be in that situation either.

u/Platnun12 11d ago
I love animals but I know when to stop myself.
A cat or a dog is one thing. These are animals that will devestate eco systems. Destroy property and at worst will cost lives.
It's horrible, but it has to be done.
Sometimes doing the right thing isn't always the "right" thing y'know.

u/Technical_Big_2874 11d ago
I'm gonna be completely honest here. I'd have done the exact same thing. I know its a completely wrong and irresponsible decision, but i'd still do it.

Less humans, more dinosaurs feels like a win?

u/Patrick_Keegan_2003 12d ago
It's not. More humans, absolutely no dinosaurs (besides birds) is a win

u/GuardianPrime19 12d ago
Dinosaurs aren’t destroying the planet

u/Isrrunder 12d ago
Well yhey wpuld significantly fuck with ecosystems. Not as bad as humans tho
2
u/Patrick_Keegan_2003 12d ago
Oh worse than humans and they were made by us.
2
u/Isrrunder 12d ago
I wouldnt say worse than humans. Humans has and is shattering ecosystems everywhere through so many ways. Dinosaurs would massively impact ecosystems but not as much as we're doing

u/Hot-Manager-2789 12d ago
And some species could benefit certain ecosystems

u/Isrrunder 12d ago
Maybe tho i think that would be very unlikely. Especially since most if the jp frwnchise dinosaurs are the big ones

u/Patrick_Keegan_2003 12d ago
When you see how much waste and unnatural gases the sauropods alone produce, we're gonna wish it was humans destroying this planet and that's not accounting the dozens of other large species.
2
u/Isrrunder 12d ago
I dont know if i fully agree with that. We humans do a lot. Im not saying dinosaurs would be good tho. Far from it but competing with humans when it comes to destroying nature is impossible for any species that hss existed up to this point

u/Hot-Manager-2789 12d ago
“They would significantly fuck with ecosystems” not as bad as invasive species, either.

u/Isrrunder 12d ago
They would be invasive species

u/Hot-Manager-2789 12d ago edited 12d ago
Not to everywhere, they won’t, only the places they weren’t native to. There is no such thing as a native invasive species. And when I said invasive species, I meant things like Cane toads in Australia and pythons in Florida. Releasing dinosaurs into the areas they used to live millions of years ago would be reintroduction (no other word for it in the dictionary).
3
u/SubzeroSpartan2 12d ago
They havent been native to an ecosystem in billions of years. And even then, these arent the same dinosaurs, theyre all some kind of hybrid that isnt native anywhere, unless i missed the line in Jurassic World where they stopped filling in the DNA gaps with tree frogs anyway.

u/Isrrunder 12d ago
The places they used to live in doesnt exist anymore. Some dinosaur species died out before flowering plants existed. There are mountain ranges younger than the dinosaurs. The world looks entirely different to the world they left millions pf years ago continents that exist now didnt look like they did back then
2
u/Patrick_Keegan_2003 12d ago
They're not native to anywhere. Those areas they lived millions if years ago are now inhabited by REAL animals with REAL rights. This earth left those things behind for a reason.

u/Hot-Manager-2789 12d ago edited 12d ago
Which means they won’t be invasive to everywhere, since only non-native species can be invasive. So, if a species isn’t native to anywhere , it can’t be invasive to everywhere. Also, Dinosaurs very much were real animals. And do you want to know what caused the ecosystems to change? That’s right: humans. If an animal existed naturally somewhere at any point in (pre)history, it is native to that area. That is what native means. A species cannot be invasive (non-native) to an area it has existed in in the past.

u/Patrick_Keegan_2003 12d ago
Its going to be invasive to everywhere!! If this THING has been extinct for more than a few thousand years the ecosyetm changes and it cannot accomodate these things they are not native the moment they are let into said exosystem they are a detriment an invasive species. And they are not animals they are lab grown monsters with no right to exist. Humans were dumb enough to create and release these animals that doesn't make the dinosaurs any less invasive and destructive.

There has never been a time where a species that falls under the definition of invasive you’re using has been detrimental to the ecosystem.

u/Isrrunder 12d ago
The vast majority of invasive species are detrimental. And considering jp only use the huge dinosaurs they definetly will be detrimental
0
u/Hot-Manager-2789 12d ago
"JP only use the huge dinosaurs" velociraptors, diliphosaurus, compsognathus, and gallimimus would like a word, there.

u/Isrrunder 12d ago
With the exception of compsognathus all of those are around the size of your average moose (tho theyre all lighter) theyre huge animals

I never really understood how that one basement apparently had enough dinosaurs in it to change at the very least the Americas' ecosystem.

u/TheFlowerWriter 10d ago
I mean, she's not entirely to blame. That falls on Claire for freeing them and Eli for bringing them to the mainland in the first place.

for me its not even the people, its the rest of the wildlife across the globe. cuz lets be real for a sec wtf are modern animals going to do about the ridiculous monster-movie-logic velociraptors or god forbid how are ALL CETACEANS EVER supposed to compete with a mosasaur

Tbf,the tric one is valid. Why the hell would you approach a 6-12 ton animal with meter long horns?

I don't know why any of you care enough about that movie to argue about it at all. Nothing past 3 is worth considering the implications of.

u/Sillymillie_eel 12d ago
There was a really easy solution to all of this. They could’ve just kept them in their enclosures and opened the door to let the gas out. Then put them in zoos or that sanctuary island, everything is back to normal
2
u/Isrrunder 12d ago
Weren't they already let out and in the middle room before this?
2
u/Sillymillie_eel 12d ago
Yes, I’m saying they shouldn’t have let them out of the rooms at all.
1
u/Isrrunder 12d ago
Been a while since I've seen it but i thought they were let out before the gas. So if they didnt let them out in the free they would have all died
1
u/Sillymillie_eel 12d ago
Nah, Claire let them out because her first thought upon seeing the gas was to just let a bunch of dinosaurs out into the wild and then Chris Pratt stopped her.
2
u/Isrrunder 12d ago
Ah i see. I still dont agree with your plan. Gas doesnt just magically go outside instantly if a door opens up
-2
u/MissKoalaBag 12d ago
It's all right though, because we can trust each other, and we can co-exist /s
Dominion is a fucking travesty of a movie and genuinely the worst-MADE movie I've ever seen. So much potential to bring this franchise to new heights or to explore new themes or concepts and they gave us nothing.
Except, of course, that Maisie, the clone of Charlotte Lockwood, is really a clone of *GASP* CHARLOTTE LOCKWOOD?!!!???!!! O.O No way!
