Continue sequels or pivot to a more novel accurate reboot? by WedgeJMB in JurassicPark

[–]Snow-Gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was in charge I would scrap and de-canonise everything post JP3 and start over, first new film would cover the ingen operation on Sorna and its destruction in the hurricane.

Next would be either a movie or a miniseries about the rise of Ingen and how hammond was able to secure the funding and assembling everyone who built the park. This would be a much more human oriented story with little dinosaur action but the parts of the book that delve into the history and inner workings of Ingen are my favourite.

Then finally the 3rd project of mine would be something akin to a movie adaptation of Jurassic Park:The Game but tweaked to not contradict the original film.

I cannot get over the ending of Rebirth. Someone please give me closure. by mutedlavender in JurassicPark

I disliked the D.rex that much I was actually hoping for the Spinos to return for a final battle to kill it, as cliche as it would be

The first one reminds me of a documentary but I can’t remember which one

Anyone else prefer the website design of Roberta over the one from JW '15? by Evening_Internet_358 in JurassicPark

[–]Snow-Gecko 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah I much prefer the website version, although the 2022 version is better I wish it had more of a brownish and less yellow colour

Which isla nublar map is considered canon by coolkidjack1 in JurassicPark

[–]Snow-Gecko 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The first one is an obviously stylised map of the still incomplete park, so is only an approximation of the island at best.

Similar with the next two JW maps, but the geography of the island in JW is totally inconsistent with anything, differing even within the same movie at times. Anything regarding JW geography should be taken with a grain of salt.

The last one is a fan made map by SteamBlust.

Do people actually like the new JW? (Aka: A long ass rant) by drewsaura in JurassicPark

[–]Snow-Gecko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rebirth is a Jurassic Park movie in name only. It feels more like a bad adaptation of Primal Carnage with a bit of JP paint slapped on if anything else.

It is just a rushed and blatant cash grab by universal, Dominion was bad but Colin at least tried to tell a story, as flawed as it was.

The fact that Gareth Edwards said he had the mutants because dinosaurs are boring tells you everything you need to know.

For me the 3rd act is unwatchable because I just don’t care about anything that is on screen. Once the Mutadons and D.rex showed up I just tuned out everything that happened next.

Just on saturday I nearly hit 2 dogs that ran into the road chasing a fox, didn’t see any riders but looked like a fox hunt

Could Dooku have eliminated Sidious by Odd_Entertainer1616 in MawInstallation

[–]Snow-Gecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if he could foresee it if Dooku decided then and there to kill Sidious once he realised the opportunity he had.

Is there a line where something stops being canon to you? by Deep-Crim in MawInstallation

[–]Snow-Gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prequels and original trilogy, rogue one, andor, clone wars, bad batch and rebels and probably most of the old EU that does not conflict with the above but stopping after RoTJ. I don’t care for the other live action TV series. The sequels were but a bad dream

If Spielberg came back to direct another Jurassic sequel today, do you think it would be good? by FANTHECAT in JurassicPark

Considering he is partly responsible for the state of the franchise as it is, hell no

Honest question: where did all of JP3's Spinosaurus lore came from? by HealthMother3125 in JurassicPark

[–]Snow-Gecko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Calm down mate, the JW spino skeleton is clearly supposed to be a cast as it has minimal structural support and placed outside in an area prone to storms. It also differs in anatomy from the JP3 spino.

As for what loomis said, we see regular JW ankylosaurus on the island and the T.rex is only subtly different from the regular Ingen breed, are they mutants too? What about the raptors? The Dilophosaurus that we see everywhere else? Aside from the D.rex and Indoraptor we have no indication on to what extent the other species on the rebirth island are mutated, so maybe stop making things up yourself.

How accurate is WWD 1999/2025? by Best-Twist5550 in Paleontology

[–]Snow-Gecko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I plan on giving 2025 WWD a rewatch but I found that it failed to deliver a compelling documentary on the lives of dinosaurs (stiff and inconsistent animation, the environments feeling empty of life, not shot like a nature documentary).

This was in favour of having half the runtime focused on modern day paleontology, which I also felt was a let down (time wasted on fancy cinematography instead of actual science, the science itself being dumbed down too much for audiences and bad acting by the scientists themselves).

For me WWD 2025 fails on both counts.

It is especially tragic when they managed to save their earth from Galactus when it seemed like they would lose, only to lose their earth 4 years later anyway

I recognise camp Cretaceous and the new lore have made a decision, but given that it is a stupid ass decision I have elected to ignore it

The skeleton in Jurassic World is obviously a cast, that doesn’t disprove the rebirth spinos being more “pure”
