I see Dr Wu with the group at the end and then he's not. I wonder if he doesn't survive
News Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum all return for Jurassic World 3!
- Thread starter The Nth Doctor
- Start date
The book has finally caught up to him!
I hope the Jurassic World franchise lasts long enough to see humanity go extinct, dinosaurs to evolve into a bipedal humanoid type form and then see these things resurrect humans and have the humans hunting them 
or more likely just polluting their environment.

Or reduce humanity to the point that does something something...Dino-Riders!I hope the Jurassic World franchise lasts long enough to see humanity go extinct, dinosaurs to evolve into a bipedal humanoid type form and then see these things resurrect humans and have the humans hunting them

(The actual premise is far too complicated for quick reduction)
I honestly don’t care much about what they’re doing with this movie - for me it’s enough that it has Alan Grant, the guy I had a MASSIVE crush on back in the old Jurassic Park days (I won’t ever forgive my mother for not going with me to see the movie, I wasn’t old enough to do so on my own just yet when it was in theaters here).
It plays all the nostalgia cards and I’m here for it. Plot? Eh. Nothing’s gonna be as awesome as the first movie anyway, so what, this doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the new ride now. Because did I mention Alan Grant?

I know it's a tongue in cheek comment but i always wondered how such an actual confrontation would go about in the "real" world with out military capabilities.
Affected regions would certainly have quick response military or police containment forces with heavy weapons ready to kill off any carnivores that threaten human life, i.e. wander into human settlements/areas.
Complete extinction though - i don't know if that's feasible, especially with the very small dinos that can easily hide in woods and reproduce. I guess as long as T-Rex & Co don't make it their mission to assault cities and eat civilians they might be left alone in the wilderness and nature would soon balance out carnivores vs. herbivores. Nature is quite good at balancing its system if humans don't interfere.
I am really looking forward to see the movie - the old legendary crew and the new blood together, Dino's roaming the streets and eating people, what's not to like? I wonder about the story and especially the end. Was it anywhere discussed that this might be the final film of the franchise or at least some sort of closure to the storyline?
They sure seem to be treating this as the last one.
This reminds me that I still haven’t seen the second JW movie yet.
It would be definitely be interesting to see what would happen if something like this did happen in real life. We've been at the top of the food chain for so long, it would be quite a shock to suddenly have big predators out there that could really see us as consistent prey. In the real world, there really aren't any predators that are a consistent threat to us the way dinos like T-Rexes or Carnosaurs would be.
Given how much I remember about it, I'm inclined to say that you didn't miss much beyond an utterly baffling decision point at the end of the film.
The T-Rex really wouldn't be any more of a consistent threat to us than lions, tigers and bears. They're all powerful enough to kill a person without a thought, fast enough to catch anyone not in a car and willing enough to give it a shot under the right circumstances. And the T-Rex would be by far the easiest to track and kill, which is how most communities always respond to any wild animal that starts eating people.
Your consistent threats are going to be the ones that can't be easily tracked like the Velociraptors or the one that, in these stories, was given the ability to camouflage itself like a chameleon (I forget which dinosaur they said that about, and it certainly wasn't a historically based claim so I'd have to reread The Lost World to find it probably). Or even moreso the ones the simply can't be brought under control even when you find them, like Compies. The Compsognathus as portrayed in JP but free to spread everywhere on the mainland is likely to become a plague comparable to the rats/toads/etc plagues in Australia, except a group of Compies will actually probably eat pets and small children on a regular basis and will occassionally manage to pick off a lone adult who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, too. Then there's stuff like the Mosasaurus which would be utterly terrifying, especially to fishing communities, but also very hard to track due to the sheer size of the ocean.
I also think once the technology is out you'd probably have a consistent stream of seemingly random outbreaks because people are stupid enough to search out dinosaur eggs and try to keep them as pets or in illegal roadside zoos until they inevitably break out and terrorize the countryside, and those incidents could come from literally almost any species depending on which eggs people managed to get a hold of.
I guess you might be right about the T-Rex, I was just thinking that most bears and lions and things like that don't usually go after people under normal circumstances and are pretty easy to scare off when they do, but a T-Rex is big enough that it wouldn't be as easy to intimidate and scare off as say a bear. With them all you have to do is yell and swing you're arms and they'll usually take off. If you tried to do that with a T-Rex, at least the ones in the movies, that would almost guarantee that you ended up a meal.
The thought of movie raptors out in the wild is really kind of terrifying, since they smart and quiet, don't seem to have a problem going after people. With them you'd probably be dead before you realized they were there.
The compis aren't much better, since they'd be pretty quick to overwhelm you if you were caught unaware.
The camouflaging Dino was the one they artifically created for the Jurrasic World park in that movie, so I think that was just one individual, and wouldn't even exist if we're talking about a real world with wild Dinos.

They had that in the first of the new movies - corporations/governments trying to use Raptors as a military animal. Would kinda be "cool" to see them raising and training their own Raptors to only hunt other Raptors, so whenever there's a report of wild Raptors coming too close to humans they ship off several of these and let them loose on their own kind ( complete with video surveillance, implanted bombs at the brain stem that can be remotely activated if they ever got out of control and of course not being able to reproduce naturally).
With the larger dino's like the seaborne Mesosaurus i can completely see humans going on the warpath and killing any they can find. Just think of the movie Jaws and what that did to the poor sharks and their public reputation and those can at worse only eat/kill one person. A Mesosaurus could sink an entire boat with no problem.
The same would apply to any T-Rex sized carnivore - humanity would just go out and kill every T-Rex they know about on top of rich assholes going on their own private safari, because hunting Lions and Elephants is too boring.

That was it, though maybe they decided not to follow the books on this species since Camp Cretaceous uses one repeatedly without showing camouflage.
