Secrets of Dr. Wu hybrids
- Thread starter TheMightyMegalosaurus
- Start date
The first two films most certainly had this. Some, like the JP3 Spinosaurus even featured cutting edge science.
I volunteer as a fossil preparator in a museum prep lab. Kids have said this to me personally and colleagues. And it isn't clear enough or people wouldn't make that mistake so often. So yes, it is the film's fault. And kids don't pay attention to such details. They see a "dinosaur" and naturally think it's a dinosaur.
You have a point about the genetic modification, I'll give you that.
But yes, they're tame, the film hybrids anyway. But that makes them less interesting than real dinosaurs that have much more wild shapes and sizes. We're getting Therizinosaurus of course. But there are so many more wild dinosaurs to pick from. Megaraptor like I mentioned, with it's giant hand claws. Miragaia the long necked stegosaur that's covered in spikes. Balaur with its double killing claws. Deinocheirus with its massive clawed hands, humped back and a duck bill. So many cool options to choose from.

Unrelated to the conversation, did you mean deinocheirus?
The second film to an extent had this, specifically for the T. rex.
But certainly not for the first film, everything for the animals seems natural upon first impression and far off in the distance. But as Ellie to Hammond says later on, it’s all an illusion.
And like all illusions, they fall apart upon closer inspection. For example the herbivores fall ill by catching modern diseases or eating modern plants. Even the iconic “Welcome to Jurassic Park” scene falls apart to this inspection, the time gap between Brachiosaurus and Parasaurolophus is much greater than humans and Triceratops. The time gap principle can also be applied to the supposed “natural” ecosystem in The Lost World.
Overall the first two films, like their subsequent sequels, present nothing more than a mere illusion of naturalism, which is fine, if you make sure not to believe in that illusion.
Again, the film makes it very clear and stresses the point multiple times in the beginning, middle and end that the Indominus is a man-made hybrid. With lines and scenes such as this:
The Indominus rex, our first genetically modified hybrid.
The Indominus wasn't bred, she was designed.
You made a genetic hybrid, raised it in captivity. She is seeing all of this for the first time. She does not even know what she is. She will kill everything that moves.
I would have a word with your people in the lab. That thing out there, that's no dinosaur.
That’s not a real dinosaur.
No, it ain’t kid.
The last couple lines of dialogue I believe are of very particular importance, the younger of the kid characters says that’s not a real dinosaur and the adult authority figure confirms his assumption to be correct.
Why not have both?
There’s nothing preventing Frontier from adding both those real wild dinosaurs and a small number of hybrids into the game.
Eh woops yeah, had a brainfart.
You could just not use it. Whats so hard to understand about that? I wouldnt use it. But to not buy a dino pack because it includes a dino you personally really dont like when theres plenty of other content that you do want to use is just stupid
None of the dinosaurs in the JP franchise are normal. Looking more obviously like the chimeras they are doesn't make them any different from the rest.
This is the funniest bit.
You're to paleontology stuff what Neil Degrasse Tyson is to astrophysics stuff. Right now I'm imagining Neil watching some kids making starfighter noises after watching Star Wars and he's just frothing at the mouth because the fictional story didn't properly educate children that there's no sound in space.
This isn't a documentary or kids educational television. An adventure flick isn't obligated to teach them about scientifically accurate paleontology findings no matter how much it personally bothers you when kids are stupid.
And even if it did, this is the franchise responsible for creating and causing literally all of the toys, cartoons and other media depictions of dromeaosaurs and dilophosaurus to this very day still being unrelenting bloodthirsty monsters and frilled venomspitters respectively. At least Indominus isn't real.
Yes, all animals were chimeras with major changes, but in contrast to Indominus and Co viable and logically constructed (as they could be), while Indominus and Co were just illogical and absolutely impossible "Moviemonster" creations, but with that in the aloof illogically childish JW franchises fit
and wy we must have a Spinoraptor when wie can take a Aizonasaurus ? why a Ancylodoculus when the real Natur have a Shunosaurus?
Otherside its give Prehistoric Kingdom with better building Options and and more accurate Models (and now Dung Beetles thats removes the Dung
)

so its not a real problem ,and lke the JW Movies ,we can ignored the DLCs with Hybrids or not build thats Freaks

Not really, making the “dinosaurs” in this franchise means (mostly) recreating the dinosaur’s genome from amber samples and fossils with various species of modern animal DNA added to the sample, in order to fill in the gaps in the genetic code and make it live in the modern world, and give it desirable features to make it a more spectacular attraction.
Hybrids are made using a similar sort of process, starting off with a genome that can be used as a base to which more species' DNA (whether they be modern or prehistoric, practical or spectacular) are added to the mix and overall mostly replace what was originally in the base genome and thus create an entirely new species. I dare say, I find the hybrids to be more plausible additions to this franchise than marine reptiles or even pterosaurs.
Even the recreation of extinct animals has not been possible so far, since every attempt has failed because changes have led to the lack of important functions, and it is just not possible to simply add or change a few sequences, since everything in the organism builds on one another the total re-creation of an organism is not just science fiction but pure nonsense. Basically like the Biosphere projects, only when they failed did you see how complex everything is and how little people understand it.
the revival of the McLear Rat has already failed, but we humans naturally love utopias ... whether every element is turned into gold, the perpetual motion machine, artificial life spheres, immortality or the creation of AI/KI or the revival of extinct ones Species
The original idea was to build a dinosaur park, no freak how, and no extrasolar park, which then failed due to the small mistakes in the attempt, and then ended in nonsense in JW where the series itself became a joke, and everything was just about one popular actors, money and merchandising turns and was aimed at the youngest target group without any serious reference, or this only as an alibi to somehow lure the parents to the cinema or to be able to entertain udn so you have a Chriss pratt next to you 3000°C hot lava doing funny contortions and a PC correct dino vet who's never seen a live dinosaur creation - where have all the vets at JP gone?

The franchise has been about man's hubris, the dangers of genetic engineering, and hybrid mutant beasts running amok since the original novel. It really feels like you're hyper-focused on the next logical step from all three of those because of personal reasons.
The problem is rather that everything in JW was completely unreal exaggerated with logic errors in which one could sink entire universes and which lead the whole story ad adsurdum.
-You breed a hybrid under surveillance but have no idea of its capabilities and make hyper Movie Alien/Predator Monsters
-Breeding hybrids as a weapon for something a 50c projectile could accomplish faster, more reliably (and over distances where even a hybrid would have trouble spotting where the laser is now pointed at 1km)
-Pterosaurs (which also look like Dracula's spawn and are badly animated) who of course immediately want to eat people like in a cheap Hammer movie from the 60s
(in jP 3 it was about territory and feed for young animals)
it all fits in well with completely exaggerated sizes, fan favorites who roll 1m next to 3000° hot lava in slapstick and dino vets who have never seen a dino (where have the JP vets gone?)
JW its more Starlord in a Prehistoric Park as from the Original JP
When I was 15 or 20, that wouldn't have bothered me either, but you see a lot of things differently when you're older, and certainly JW 1/2 also had good scenes (such as the motorcycle hunt) which unfortunately were negated by the other scenes, where the A blockbuster on A effects but B movie screenplay level ala Emmerich dropped

Why you should be running and screaming from 'Jurassic World'
How could this movie even exist? Because sequels find a way.

Hybrids were not very well received by the fanbase last game, but now that they aren't around the seem to be building quite the cult following for themselves. Even to the point where some people who didn't like the hybrids wanting them to make a return. How dose the old saying go? "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".
The issue with hybrids in JWE1 was the following: Stegoceratops used a Nasutoceratops as base genome in canon, Ankylodocus needed to be able to defend itself against carnivores and Spinotarapthor should use the Utharaptor rather than the Velociraptor. Scorpios Rex pair are amazing and fill the niche of WTH were they thinking people expected that they created in universe, Indoraptor potential was underused, I-Rex was too OP and its escape was dumb at best and the Spinoceratops fill the fact that you can have an omnivore creature (they are seem eating fishes in the final episode of JW CC) not be a psycho.
I have said how in JW CC the kids keep Wu files so maybe there are more secret projects Henry was working on that Masrani didn't knew about (Spinoraptor, Ankylodocus, Theri hybrid, Stegoceratops and a Pachy hybrid (last three seen in a blink and you miss it moment in JW) as well others) but they are better off in places like JW Camp Cretaceous were the producers can properly give these creatures the respect and attention they deserve.
JWE hybrids! When are Spinoraptor, Stegoceratops and Ankylodocus DLCs gonna be added?!
Omg yes!!! I would adore seeing them return. I wouldn't mind a redesign of the Stegoceratops or Ankylodocus. Or maybe a skin variant with a movie accurrate Stegoceratops or the shown Ankylodocus redesign. But they absolutely should return in a free update!
