Jurassic World: Rise of Da Minions

[@jimboanimations4041]

The minions canonically served the dinosaurs in the minions movie, among other people. I am glad they also made it is canon that during the 1900s, they were stuck in an ice cave.

As someone who literally watched this in theaters yesterday, there was a shocking amount of previews revolving around one Minion movie before a Jurassic film of all things.

[@AutisticNobody2010]

I only saw one.

[@ASCZPictures]

At 51:21 I say 'Postosuchus' to refer to a big salamander- I've just fact-checked and the animal that I meant is actually called Koolasuchus.

[@ASCZPictures]

Also at 1:30 I said Choctaw, I remembered it wrong and it is in fact set in the Comanche nation.

[@angrycat1232]

Dodgson was something else, he showcases signs of being on the spectrum through his uncomfortable interactions with the other characters, the fact that he misses social cues is used to accentuate his status as antagonist. There was even an ominous scene where he repetitively fiddles with an object and it's framed as if he's Blofeld caressing a kitty.

[@themasteronhigh1665]

I didn't realise that the character was meant to be Dodgson, I saw these tropes being used, and thought.... YEs, I like this character, he's obviously lovely and it's a misdirect.... But no.

[@the_godbodor7026]

One thing I will say about the Jurassic movies is that the original 3 movies were extremely attached to the same few dinosaurs, like the Velociraptor, T-Rex, and Dilophosaur, but the World trilogy I like a lot due to the massive array of dinosaurs they bring in, such as the Mosasaur, Carnosaurus, Allosaurus, and then Dominion came in with the Gigantosaur, Therizinosaur, Troodon, Quetzal, etc. and then they even had my guy Baryonyx in Fallen Kingdom with the melting tunnel scene. For this reason alone I really enjoy the World movies more than the original.

[@supremelordender5705]

Welp. That is certainly.... a title. I am interested in where this will be going.

[@xenodweeb6425]

Ironically enough, in Ark: Survival Evolved, a tamed Parasaurolophus basically function like Dinosaur horses and Iguanodons are not only surprisingly fast tanks that can carry a ton of your resources and still go fast, but they jump really high up for a land dino of it's size. Speaking of, if you want something that goes all out with prehistoric creatures, Ark's got a huge variety of beasts to not just fight, but tame. In the DLC maps, it even goes further beyond and brings in wild shit like dragons and even their own sci-fi creatures on top of things.

[@cosmicspacething3474]

Dear God help us all, I remember when the first Minions movie came out and I couldn’t walk five inches without seeing something with minions plastered all over it. If I have to go through that all over again I’m just gonna go everywhere with a blindfold on for the next few months…

[@thescauldron8436]

Highkey agree that Fallen Kingdom is a more well-constructed movie compared to JW., despite some of the goofy aspects (....which JW does in also more jarring ways). Sometimes I'm confused why people keep talking down FK while putting JW on a pedestal when it literally pointed out that the Indominus was being isolated and then proceeding to have it able to communicate raptors based on genetics alone.... like you get a dictionary by virtue of genetics. Edit: also Collin Treverrow himself thinks of the Giga as "The Joker" in an interview so... 😂

[@Haverlock]

Hey, remember Michael Crichton? You know the guy who wrote the book that started all this? Remember the literal medical doctor who wrote Sci-Fi so hard it could cut glass and included pages of academic sources at the end of his books? The one who spent a pretty substantial portion of his bibliography railing against capitalism in science, How dangerous it is to leave silicon valley unregulated and just the absolute disregard for life on the bleeding edge of scientific research? I certainly don't remember and neither does this studio. Also I don't remember the protein deficiency put into the dinosaurs to kill them unless they're provided supplements for it.

Gus is too good of a storyteller, he's almost convinced me that I want to watch this movie, it sounds like an epic dinosaur odyssey (with a few kinks, but still). But it's not, I know it's not, it can't be.

[@helenn6551]

To answer the question at 1:01:54, if I'm recalling correctly, dinosaurs are believed to have been somewhere in between cold and warm blooded. The planet's biome didn't have heat differences as big as they were today, so the creatures didn't really have to regulate their body temperatures like animals have to today

[@kieranmclaughlin264]

Jurassic Park Dominion but its a crossover with despicable me and someone gets their hands on minion DNA and mixes it with dinosaurs so grue comes out of retirement and super villains all over the minionsaurs and it guest stars Ugandan knuckles who adds brevity to a surprisingly dark film about dealing with a past you've come to regret

[@2DImpersonator]

Small correction at 1:09:53- it's actually highly contentious on whether or not this was the case since the sails were poor heat regulators and were likely just for sexual display. Also Meg didn't mention the fact that dimetrodon's sail didn't cover the tips of it's neural spines - 0/10

I know this is a thing that happens in a lot of adventure stories, and I'm not disparaging it. I love these types of stories, but it suddenly dawned on me when the botanist reaches out to her old paleontologist friend to go on one more mission to solve a prehistoric locust mystery. I don't think that's how those professions work. Now I'm laughing my ass off imagining other jobs doing something similar to that. Like a dentist, reaches out to her old orthodontist friend she hasn't seen in years to solve the mystery of the strange goo stuck in the braces of the people from a haunted town in Ohio. I dunno. Gus, has Henry ever showed up on your doorstep and said, "There's a professional writing related mystery that needs solving. I've just chartered a ship to take us to the Arctic Circle. You in?"

[@freeloading_toad]

My favorite thing about what y’all said about the ending is the thing with the dinosaurs running alongside the horses at the end. I don’t think the writers have ever seen or interacted with a horse, bc if they did then they’d know that those things spook at literally anything. A plastic bag, birds, strange clothing; my favorite example I heard online is when some kids put pool noodles on their goats horns and their horse ran for the hills with the goat chasing after them bc it just wanted to hang out and the kids had to bolt to the goat as fast as possible so the horse wouldn’t have a fucking heart attack (and yes, they included pictures for reference). If a horse saw a dinosaur, it would be like the horse equivalent of a fucking eldritch horror. There is no way they would adapt and vibe with dinos. They’d probably literally drop dead from fright 😂

[@bleddynwolf8463]

that locust being released and killing all the others, is a reference to sterile mosquitoes being released to hamper mosquito populations

As I recall, the argument over warm vs. cold blood was less "were they reptiles or birds?" and had more to do with whether or not it was possible under the square cube law for ectotherms of their size to live as we believe they did. In other words, how could land-dwelling animals with such low surface-to-volume ratios rely solely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature?

I will never let anyone forget about Book of Henry. That movie deserves to be remembered for WHAT IT DID. Also the organgutan suggestion is the plot of CIApe. Edit: Bringing up the "have kids" messages in this movie reminds me of an observation about Jurassic Park. The first movie hinges on a bunch of all female lesbian dinosaurs naturally turning into hetero couples because "Life finds a way." Edit Edit: Therizinosaurus is the real joker of the movie, not Giganotasaurus.

[@halfmettlealchemist8076]

I would argue that the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are technically genderfluid in that respect, which, I mean, good for them honestly

[@getschwifty5537]

Okay let me play devil's advocate here. So the freaking GUN with the laser pointer for the wildly unpredictable bad dino of the last movie, yes that was, CATASTROPHICALLY stupid. Literally just shoot your target at that point. You hit the nail on the head with that one. But I will give this movie the benefit that the cool evil business lady really did improve upon that mind numbingly stupid idea. So yeah, you only really have to mark your target once, possibly with just any ole laser pointer (a freaking CAT TOY could be your death sentence in the Jurassic Park universe now) and as far as we can tell, that person is now marked for LIFE. And yeah, the raptors are somehow perfectly trained to ONLY attacked those who are marked, so theoretically she can be standing right next to them after the deed is done and be fine, unlike the last one which would turn on it's "fellow" assassin the moment the laser isn't trained on someone. It's basically a very dumb version of the Death Note but with dinos now and yeah, evil lady doesn't have to worry about walking through airport security with an actual gun to kill someone, she just has to know that her smugglers got even just one of those raptors into the country and she can then waltz around anywhere she pleases with such an innocuous "weapon" in her pocket or purse and then mark a ton of poor suckers with it while the raptor is loose and while yes, a dino related assassination would be all over the news, it'd be like "well who dunnit?". Shit it could have been the "fault" of just about anyone nearby who was waving a TV remote around or some shit. It's still very dumb and impractical, but it's just feasible enough that I could see it being a desirable product for dumb and impractical clandestine political weirdos, without being SO impractical like the Fallen Kingdom's worst possible targeting method with the most unpredictable monster on earth.
