JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION

[GojiraGuy1954]

Did they ever give a reason as to why Rexy appears to be getting younger? I thought JW did a good job of making her look aged, ugly as hell but aged nonetheless. FK made her look much younger and

Spoiler

she looks even younger in the modern portion of the preview

[close]

Dont care, the JW and JWFK rexes look like garbage. JWD's is a massive improvement

[Appalachiosaurus]

Basically what he said, Rexy was made to look older but people hated it so they retconning her back to closer resemble JP1's animatronic.

I want my Rexy thicc, bulky and full of energy. Wanna see her take down the Giga in full strength and prime condition.

This might be a plan, 65 million years ago maybe she was older and disadvantaged, now in the present she is healthier and stronger than an usurper Giga as she should be. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a male Rex appear and "help".  Lots of ways to do this to tickle the fans.

I wanna see tyrannosaurus put down in his ot her place by that giganotosaurus and his heck of a big ol axe jaw and mighty strength,  ending the reign of tyrant worship.

I've been meaning to share this here, partly b/c 1) there's been a lot of talk about Dominion in general & Giganotosaurus in particular, & 2) I ❤ PNSO ( http://www.pnso.org/ ), especially their dino models ( https://www.paleo-nerd.com/tag/pnso/ ):

Rexy is beefed up heaps in the 5min preview footage, she appeared to be fully back to her former JP1 glory now. Honestly if they don't deviate Giga's scientific body proportion too much in the film then at least in physical brute strength it's no match to Rexy.
Anyhoo this movie should be fun, I'm excited to see Giga in action, how he terrorizes the human settlements, wrecking havoc and then Rexy yours truly saves the day once again by taking down the perpetrator .

Slightly off topic (and let's face it, given the 1 year wait we'll have very little "Dominion" bits to chew on before it hits the big screen)

Darren Naish's reminiscing about "Walking with Dinosaurs" over at the Tetzoo.com blog paints a clearer picture about the true influence of "consulting paleontologists" in big budget productions. The "Jurassic" franchise is (by obligation?) mentioned in passing.  If the experts aren't in full command of the boat in a documentary, what more a blockbuster popcorn flick?

That said, I'm just hoping the accompanying toys/figures will have a fair global distribution. I still don't understand why only a handful of yellow quetz reached our shores.

Oh god that's a fugly Giga

Idea: Giga and Rex fight, but then the JP3 Spino emerges from the depths, killing both brutally and beginning a new wave of salt and fury from Tyrannosaurus fanboys

[Stegotyranno420]

Yes, I will actually like that, maybe he pushes them off a cliff or something

So much inaccuracies in this video lol. Giga did not have a bigger thigh nor as strong as a T Rex's. Sue and Scotty have thicker thigh bones and much wider pelvic bones which most certainly give it more muscular, thicker and more powerful legs than the Giga. Both those T Rex specimens are heavier than Giga by a wide margin, even some smaller T Rex specimens like the Holotype, AMH5027 and Stan are heavier than Giga. The overall volume of a T Rex skull is also larger so it's wrong for them to say Giga's skull is larger, maybe longer than a dew CM but definitely not larger overall.
Oh well, when you wanna sell your product you gotta do what you gotta do by blowing it out of proportion and watering down the T rex.

I'm pretty sure tyrannosaurus had thinner, less dense bones, it was a coelurosaur. Besides, the giganotosaur may not have stronger bite force, but still had more power. The way the jaw was built was specialized for slashing , and will deliver punch more than a crunch

Nope. Sue outclasses Giga in almost every way except the forelimbs. Scotty and Trix may be even bigger than Sue for the record.

The problem with Giganotosaurus is that it was pushed in the media as the dinosaur that would dethrone T. Rex, by using the upper estimates of its researched size while there wasn't a complete specimen to begin with.

So now we're stuck with overestimated sizes for Giganotosaurus for the general public, while in the mean time palaeontologists are still doing their research on an animal that was most likely about as tall and long as any mega theropod, nothing more nothing less. My biggest gripe with JW Dominion is that this movie won't help the general public to learn anything new compared to 20 or so years ago.

The biggest  issue  for me is that  the  so called  accurate  rex is the same  old  inaccurate  jp  design  as before  just with feathers  tossed  ,and  has the same  inaccuracies

Don't know where you got all that from, but absolutely none of it is the least bit correct.

I still can't believe anyone actually thought they would get an "accurate" T.rex or Velociraptor in a JP/JW film. Universal has well established these designs as characters. They will never change them to the point they are unrecognizable as their creation/property.  Just like Iron Man putting on a new suit of armor, it's still Iron Man.
