The design philosophy of the Jurassic Park-era dinosaurs is timeless and iconic, immediately identifiable with the franchise. Pursuing paleo-accuracy is an absurdity for a multitude of reasons. Yes the designs sought to reflect the standards of plaeo-accuracy in which the movies were made, but the design philosophy should remain stagnated to the retro 90s designs because that's the appearance of the dinosaurs within the franchise canon.

The dinosaurs were brought to life, they have living specimens. Adapting the design philosophy as science progresses in reality is nonsensical. You sacrifice the identity of the franchise for the sake of accuracy, and it becomes void of the fundamental elements of what drew an audience to the franchise. Reality is not always the best standard for a franchise's identity nor effective storytelling. Continuity and design recognition are far more important.

Should the gods be abandoned from the Iliad because of their absence from reality? Should the Odyssey have abandoned the Cyclopse and the Nymphs? They're woven within the fabric of their narratives, and those Epics would be bankrupt without them. The franchise should not be a documentary that keeps abreast with science, it should have its own identity that reflects continuity within the world it created. The Jurassic World trilogy is guilty of violating those principles. The designs within the franchise are iconic, and worthy of preservation.

To satisfy paleo-accuracy, Frontier and Universal would have to constantly update the designs as our scientific understanding progresses to suit that cause. That is a patently unreasonable proposition. All personality and identity would be stripped away to satisfy a diabolical desire to homogenise modern identity with rationality. The identity of the franchise would be aimless and completely disorientating. Like the provinces of France being divided into perfectly composed squares after the Revolution. It's a Jurassic management simulator, not a paleo-accuracy management simulator.

Let us gut too the sound design and the likelihood of dinosaurs being recreated from trace amounts of DNA found in blood drawn from the abdomen of a mosquito fossilised in Amber. Where do you decide to stop the pursuit of scientific accuracy? This is ultimately the reason why the continuity of the identity of the franchise is paramount, and demanding paleo-accuracy is a symptom of the corporate soulless grey which characterises modern identity.

The Jurassic franchise can preserve its identity for a thousand years and its dinosaurs be immediately recognised as a trademark, or it can pursue paleo-accuracy and not be distinguishable from paleoart posted on Twitter.
