watching Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World: Dominion with a friend made me realize that after Jurassic World, Bayona and Treverrow REALLY wanted to make like three separate kinds of movies that had dinosaurs in them but then had to quickly make them into Jurassic World movies which makes me think Universal should just slap a "Jurassic Park Presents" logo on something and let directors do some shit like a haunted house movie with dinosaurs or like the three separate movies Dominion was trying to be because I think people really like Dinosaurs and they should put them in many more movies and people would enjoy movies with dinosaurs in them
I know Dr. Wu is an asshole & like, he’s committed so many crimes against humanity & he’s responsible for so many deaths but also I’m sorry he’s so consistently hilarious to me. this man never learns. In every single piece of Jurassic park canon he’s got the same arc. He’s doing horrific Frankenstein like scientific experiments with increasingly worse consequences but also he always feels conflicted or bad about it. He casually asks a teen girl if he can study her like a lab rat. he kidnapped a high school Instagram influencer but he was nice-ish to her & told his thug not to kill her & her friends. I’m sorry he’s so fucking funny to me for no reason as a character
You know what I love about Jurassic World? That it makes the "We won't make the same mistakes again- No, this time you're making totally new ones" quote entirely come true. Jurassic Park failed because they put dangerous animals they hardly knew anything about in a theme park setting and thought they could control them- and then, surprised pikachu face, it turned out they couldn't. But the point is, they actually learned from it. In Jurassic World, they knew more about the animals, their wants and needs, their natural behaviour, and designed the park around it. They didn't try to control the animals in situations where they couldn't, and focused on avoiding these situations and keeping everything in a setting where they actually COULD keep them under control. And it worked AMAZINGLY WELL. While Jurassic Park already failed when it was still under construction, Jurassic World opened its gates for the public. Hell, they were able to allow people to go canoeing next to sauropodes without having a single accident. The park was open for a long time and was incredibly successful. And then, they decided to create a new spectacular dinosaur just out of pure spite. They didn't know what kind of animal they were creating, and neither they cared. And then, shocker!, said animal destroyed Jurassic World because no one could predict how it would behave.
Jurassic Park is not a series about the dangers of bioengineering. It is a series about how capitalist greed turns bioengineering into a catastrophe.
