JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION

I think the problem is the narrow focus on direct continuations. This is a franchise concept with a lot of room to tell different stories within, and I hope to see future instalments tell their own, actually their own, stories within the setting. A sci-fi throwback one-off set in a dystopian future where people have pet dinosaurs, a story of people stranded in the wilderness surviving dinosaur attacks, or a story about protecting a dinosaur or small group of that are the last of their kind. There is so much room for fun stories that could be told in this universe, if they would only pull themselves away from trying to continue this single story line.

Star Wars has done it, and has been ever improving for making the change.

avatar_Faelrin @Faelrin  technically I think all the movies have been viewed as cash cows. At least from a producers view.

That being said, I think we shouldn't be desiring this (or any) franchise to end just because we no longing like it. There are still tons of people who do love it especially kids.
Keep calm and love dinosaurs

I would rage quit JW franchise if they force Rexy to lose to the chimera Giga in a fair fight. And no, Rexy winning with the help of Blue does not count either, it has to be a mano mano no handicap dual with Rexy clearly displaying a Tyrannosaurus Rex' brute strength, sheer weight, robustness and overwhelming bite force advantage over the Giga, and finishing it off as the sole victor with a thunderous roar as the true king of JW theropods.

If the five minute prologue taking place in prehistoric times culminating in a Giganotosaurus quickly and easily taking out a Tyrannosaurus in battle has been cut from the final movie,then any potential plotline of the modern day Tyrannosaurus being in danger of history repeating itself with the Giganotosaurus may be gone too.In the final cut,the two may not even be seen together at all.

;) That's on "my dino media wishlist" ( http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=9979.0 ). "More specifically: 1) They'd be better as a series like "Westworld" on HBO; 2) They'd be better if the dinos were mostly accurate for today's time ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj1pOgaXTf4&t=246s ), similar to how the novels' dinos were mostly accurate for their time ( https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/Isla_Sorna_(novel_canon) ); 3) They'd be better if the original Lex character was cut altogether; At best, she adds nothing; At worst, she ruins the experience ( https://babbletrish.blogspot.com/2013/08/so-reading-jurassic-park-in-2013-is.html ); In other words, cutting her would greatly improve the experience without changing anything important (I.e. Major plot points or dino/character interactions)."

I wouldn't say that so confidently, after all they made Giga for a reason aka the new big bad in town and it would be almost absurd not to pit him against the show's favorite T.rex. Over the years fans have been craving for these two to slug it out in a future movie and that's almost certainly what we'll get in the final cut. They really need to give T.rex a huge W against another giant theopod for once not just fodders like raptors and Carnotaurus.

I can't say anything confidently about a movie I haven't seen yet.But I wouldn't worry too much if it does in fact include a second fight between the two.Especially since the Tyrannosaurus that would be involved happens to be the individual from the first park that has since gone on to become the unlikely hero of the film series.As such,it isn't going to lose.It will probably get rag dolled by the Giganotosaurus for a while,but in the end that particular rex will still come through with the win,complete with the victory roar over the body of it's dead opponent nonetheless. :)

Originally it was said that the prologue sets up a story for the origin of the JP Rex and that it would encounter the Giga later and be like " You!" lol  I'm sure the fight would go differently this time if so as well.  I'd rather not see any of them die, wounded, run off, yeah that's fine. You can have a winner without death.   I personally would like to the Spino surprise show up and take on the Giga.

See there, that's the problem. You simply don't ragdoll someone who's built a lot more robust, bulkier and heavier than you. I can perfectly deal with Giga going for multiple laceration on Rexy using its sharp teeth in an attempt to cause her mass blood loss, that's a believable scenario and could count for Giga's portion of win. But then we should see Rexy retaliate with brute strength and crushing bite which would subsequently end the fight as the winner.
And yeah I don't prefer either of them to die, a victory is enough without killing.

stargatedalek

Or... neither of them are real, and it's unreasonable to expect their strengths or tactics to align with theories about the real life counterparts (especially given the disparity in knowledge we have of Tyrannosaurus behaviour versus knowing almost nothing about Giganotosaurus behaviour or hunting).

Rex is gonna get thrown around for a minute or so before destroying the Giga. Every JW dino fight finale is the same.
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

Trailer just dropped:

A trailer full of thrill, action and surprises indeed for me. It is really nice to see the legendary original JP trio alongside with the JW characters. And Dilophosaurus is returning! What a pleasant surprise indeed, along with the new species. The series of pictures that were released from Collin Trevorrow earlier make better sense now. The scene where Owen and the cowboys chase the Parasaurolophus herd remind me of "The Valley of Gwangi".
And I am still wondering as to how Blue has a baby. She's, or she was the only surviving member of her kind, so how come does she have a baby? Anyways, I guess only the movie will explain this. All in all, a spicy trailer indeed for me, did not see this at all coming.


Takama

Im on the Fence if I will See this or not. Given the Mess up that is the Prolouge.

Once the film drops i will be asking if anything from that mistake of a short film is in the movie.

Lizard DNA is my guess

Sick as hell trailer! Love that Supersaurus showcase and Allosaurus getting more screen time since Battle at Big Rock.
Man I'm a bit scared how they are foreshadowing the size advantage Giganotosaurus has over Rexy now, hope it's not a huge difference like Spino over the the little JP3 rex.

Strepsodus

I am looking forward to this movie, but there will always be a fair amount of people who think it's dogshit

Life found a way.

Trailer looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself, not gonna break it down but overall I like what I'm seeing. Grant's accent is maybe a little more prominent than in past films?  Actually that whole meeting between him and Ellie felt..uncomfortable as it may have been intended lol

Pachyrhinosaurus

Incredible! Really happy to see the dilophosaurus finally return to the big screen. Alan and Ellie at the digsite felt faithful to the original films.

Also the North American environment is a welcome change of scenery from the usual exotic jungle. Dinosaurs and cowboys are a fun combination, too.

The only thing I'm somewhat disappointed in is the dinosaur designs. It would have been great to see the original style Jurassic Park velociraptors running amok in Malta instead of the atrocious design used in the film.
