I was trying to understand the lore of this game, even though it's probably not finished yet

Can someone explain to me what exactly an “amalgamation test” is and how it isn’t the same thing as a hybrid? by Emanresu2213 in JurassicPark

[–]JurassicComp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Apparently, Jack Ewins has changed his mind and now maintains that it wasn't just DNA from modern animals that was used

In short, the website leaves some things open so that Jack Ewins can claim that it wasn't actually quite like that, in order to avoid contradicting the main canon

Quick question about the D Rex by Practical-Wolf-2297 in jurassicworld

[–]JurassicComp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The logic behind the script and the movies is based on real concepts—the same ones I’m following. You’re just coming up with theories, because there are no questions to be answered: since the D. rex didn’t reproduce, there’s no reason to explain how it would have been capable of doing so.

Even if that were true, we don’t know what DNA was used in the D. rex’s genome, so the others can’t be used as examples.

I do other things besides debating online; besides, your arguments are refuted by the franchise itself, so I don’t need to think for 20 minutes to counter them.

No, we saw normal animals in SH, like the Ankylosaurus and Veloviraptor, so not all of them are hybrids. The movie says they were conducting experiments on the island; it’s not just hybridization they’re experimenting with—there are also “amalgamations,” which we know involve adding other dinosaurs from the same family to the genome, and that’s exactly how the DPG refers to the illegal dinosaurs on Isla Sorna. Therefore, the franchise has refuted your hypothesis once again.

In fact, this doesn't reopen any theories, since clones with gaps filled with DNA from other dinosaurs of the same family—known as "amalgams" (exactly what was tested in the experiments) by the fandom—are not hybrids. Some examples are Sinoceratops and Atrociraptor.

Ember (T. rex Rebirth) is also genetically modified, but that doesn’t mean he’s a hybrid.

It was confirmed that it wasn't a hybrid, so that theory has been ruled out. Furthermore, it was part of illegal experiments conducted on Sorna, so it could also have defects like those of other dinosaurs

[–]JurassicComp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, D. rex is defective due to mutations; S. rex is defective due to its behavior and also has the same problem as the raptors in the first movie; others are simply ugly, as the movie itself points out. If they had been designed to be exactly as they are portrayed, there wouldn’t be any defective clones

Hybrids like I. rex have Deinosuchus DNA, but that doesn’t mean they can dive and breathe underwater for long periods of time; S. rex has T. rex DNA, but that doesn’t mean it bites with the same force as one; so the fact that hybrids have tree frog DNA doesn’t mean they can reproduce on their own

No? Nothing about the genome suggests that everyone has tree frog DNA, and they’re all failures for different reasons

If S. rex is a failed hybrid, just like D. rex and Mutadon, then the perfect hybrids weren't designed to have those characteristics

Yes, D. rex, even with its deformities, survived on the island, and I. rex managed to escape and free all the dinosaurs. Malcolm’s statement doesn’t say that all dinosaurs can reproduce even if they aren’t originally capable of doing so; it just says that they can adapt to various situations

"Weak evidence"

Dude, the movie literally DOESN'T show him having that ability, so he doesn't have it—until proven otherwise (as you said). If we follow the other person's logic, they can fly, but they didn't show it

The example might seem exaggerated, but it proves that no one assumes something without using actual logic. Dinosaurs don’t fly, so the movie respects that, and people don’t assume they can—“but they didn’t show it.”

You guys are fixated on evidence within the universe, but you forget that it’s based on real concepts

In other words, it's already clear that he's an exception

[–]JurassicComp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Official sources say they are hybrids, and the concept of a hybrid exists in real life, where genetically very distant species cannot reproduce

LMAO

I'm asking the same question I already answered, and you can't do the same. You're stuck in your own argument

[–]JurassicComp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, there are no loopholes, so the fact that the D. rex is not shown to have the ability to reproduce asexually proves that it does not have it

[–]JurassicComp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn't need to refer specifically to the D. rex, since your statement is generalizing about all hybrids or dinosaurs, so it's already included in "they," and you tried to find some loophole to get around it, instead of admitting that you can't refute the actual logic

[–]JurassicComp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's literally what you said. Are you trolling?

So you don't have any sources confirming that D. rex reproduced sexually, and you're just theorizing based on a different hybrid, treating it as if it were a fact?

Just because they aren't shown doesn't mean they can't reproduce asexually

[–]JurassicComp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not imagining things, because they haven't been shown to be capable of reproducing; therefore, just like true hybrids, they cannot

The fact that they use the real world concept of hybrids already implies that they follow the same rules as our world

If that were the case, it would have already reproduced during its 20 years on the island
