[@anthonyminimum]

6:37 the reason why Jurassic Park and Jurassic World were built on Isla Nublar was because at the time, the Volcano was dormant and the Park could run on geothermal power, meaning the park can run on lava found under the island, we know that there’s a geothermal plant on Isla Sorna as well because Peter Loudlow says so himself, meaning Isla Sorna has a volcano as well, meaning that The Five Deaths Archipelago (El archipiélago de las cinco muertes) is a volcanic area, which makes sense because Las Cinco Muertes falls into the Pacific Ring of Fire. Another reason is simple, Islands with volcanos are surprisingly cheep because no one wants an island with a dormant volcano that can become active again at any minute

[@TheSemajshadow]

[@angievazquez1149]

Seeing this comment, I expect all five islands to have a volcano each. If anything, when they filmed the volcanos were dormant. They got active, the filming could be canceled but they were smart and used the eruptions in the movie. Kind of the volcanoes erupted in real life and movie. The dinos got to mainland in the movie but thankfully dino is not real so that just the movie

When it comes to the hybrids, none of them seem as unstable as the Scorpius Rex. For those who haven't seen the Netflix series "Camp Cretaceous", the Scorpius Rex was revealed to have been Dr. Wu's first genetic hybrid, existing before the Indominus Rex. However, it was also shown to be extremely aggressive and even more unstable attacking and poisoning Dr. Wu in his lab. And the fact that he didn't immediately kill it shows how determined as well as detached he's become through his years of work.

[@EvilStevilTheKenevilPEN15]

@@Helplessmonkey Camp Cretaceous is fun, but the show's _really_ held back by its PG rating. In a franchise where people get chomped onscreen (the lawyer in the original, the fat guy in Jurassic World) and severed limbs are thrown around for jumpscares, having very few deaths and _no_ gore really screws up the tone, to the point where it actually starts to break suspension of disbelief. _Fallen Kingdom_, for example, opens with a mission to extract a bone from the Indominus' skeleton, yet when the kids find that very same corpse it cuts to an incredibly obvious discretion shot. Of course, it _is_ a kid's show, there are some things you simply can't do, I get it. But _Avatar_ was also a kid's show, and it managed to strike a serious and at times incredibly dark tone all the same. Pulling the punch with Ben's apparent death really made the plot armor obvious and killed whatever sense of danger the show had left.

[@aoinatafanboy84]

I'd mark Scorpius Rex as his only true 'mistake' then but yeah this was a rough draft at best. He made errors but worked them out with Indominous and Indo. That aside, I don't consider his decision to be a stupid one in the least. Wu knows full well what comes with what he's doing.

You’re right a crane 🏗 was a much better choice.

Honestly, first time I watched Fallen Kingdom and that scene when they released the dinosaurs came up, I was confused about one little thing. If the button to open the cages was different from the button to open the massive door leading outside (at least, I think they are different and hope they are or that is just poor planning), why not just leave them in their cages but open the big doors? That way, the dinos are contained but the gas can be vented out via massive door. Maybe not fresh air, but some ventilation.

[@Littlepug1738]

That's kinda not how gas works and also it would've taken a long time and the danasaws (get it? Cuz that how Mr DNA called dinosaurs in JP?) Would've died by now Oh and also if that does happen and all gas breaks free... Now what? What will happen to the dinos? And I guess that was an 'Ilegal' operation... They all would've gotten arested by the 'authorities' cuz they were part of it, I supposed... i may be far out and completly wrong idk

[@DocumentarianWeady]

That would take time and by that the dinosaurs would be poisoned by the gases and die, aside from smaller species such as Compsagnathus. So letting the dinosaurs out of their cages was the better option, and you may be curious why Masie opened the large gate?

10. How would be any different if he did stay in the car? The T-Rex would still have attacked the car. Besides, it would be a loss of characterization if he wasn't so cowardice. 9. Teens will always be dumb teens. But the blame has to go more on the park monitors as they didn't detect a broken gate. Besides, going off road wouldn't have been dangerous as all the dinosaurs enclosed in the field are herbivores and their relatively bullet-resistant gyrospheres would've kept them safe if the herbivores we're riled. It just so happened that time a highly dangerous carnivore was on the loose. 8. It was a clever plan by the Indominus as she was underestimated by even her creators. She made those claw marks as a distraction and then hid her body temperature from the monitors that she would have obviously been able to observe from the unbreakable glass (human DNA was also added to her genome adding to her intelligence) 7. Ludlow shipped the T-Rex to San Diego to prove he was better than Hammond. Unfortunately, all it took was one mishap on the boat to screw it all up. But even so, it wasn't really his initial idea to bring a T-Rex on their first trip to bring dinos to Jurassic Park San Diego. They had intended on herbivores exclusively, but Nick (the Earth First bastard) threw a literal wrench in that plan. And Mills had to bring them over for the auction since it's all in his plot to get rich. 6. Nedrys' goal was to make a beeline for the boat and come back. Remember the only paddock he didn't shut down was the raptor pen because that wasn't in his path, but also knows better to let them have the opportunity to escape. A single T-Rex can be handled easier than a pack of Raptors and he knew that. He just didn't consider other carnivores like the Dilophosaurus. 5. The novel made it clear was to why a dormant volcano was chosen; it was to provide the presumed atmosphere the dinos once lived long ago. Also it provided both islands with geothermal power source since they are built to be independent havens from the rest of the world. 4. 100%. But it is still within Critchons original vision. 3. Billy admitted he took them on an impulse. At least the Raptors we're reasonable enough to leave them alone once they recovered their eggs. 2. Oh sure, blame the traumatized child instead of Dr. Wu and the people who bought the dinosaurs who will "Make some more", and "so will they". Maisie was also prompted by Lockwood's words about how her "mother" would've saved them all. The dinosaurs would've been released to the world regardless if Maisie didn't push that button as Dr. Wu still has DNA supply and the capability and intention to produce more dinosaurs. HM - Opening the Park. Um... Why not? It was John Hammond's dream and it had enjoyed a good ten year run. JPOperation Genesis and JWEvolution also demonstrated that running a dino park responsibly is possible. Just... don't make intelligent hybrids. 1. Well... this IS the entire hinge this franchise is going towards. Plus, it illustrates how scientists can go in their arrogance as Michael Crichton wrote. My personal dumbest decision was from the Telltale game where Dr. Laura Sorkin decided to release the cure for the dinosaurs lycine deficiency to the water supply and was intentionally going to release the Tylosaurus into the ocean.

True, but predators are what make an ecosystem healthy by preventing overpopulation, eating sick and old animals and many other things. Dinosaurs are large and consume a lot of food, with only herbavoirs they would run out of food and eventually starve to death.

[@katherine7938]

I think it's quite possible to bring back "carnivorous dinos", but make them harmless, in the first book Wu even tells Hammond that they should've done exactly that and that Wu wanted to, but Hammond protested wanting the real deal.

[@wasoncethere1228]

The thing is you'd have to pick your herbivores carefully aswell. It's all good saying they eat plants their fine. But so do hippos. And hippos have been seen eating meat 😬.

Gennaro running away isn't a dumb decision. It's a natural response to danger (Rexy). Also, by getting Rexy's attention, Malcolm gave Grant a chance to save the kids.

#1: Reviving dinosaurs in the first place! As Dr. Ian Malcolm said, "You were too busy asking if you could do it, you never asked if you should do it!" (Might've messed up the quote a bit). But seriously, reviving dinosaurs is definitely NOT something that should be done. Sure, I think dinosaurs are cool too, but I DO NOT want them roaming the earth with us. Besides, we already have birds and gators, isn't that enough dinosaurs? Edit: I do still like the first two Jurassic Park movies and don't mind Jurassic World, but reviving dinosaurs was still an unbelievably dumb decision.

Actually you got the quote pretty much fully correct

[@Samfry523]

I fail to see how #8 was a dumb decision when they had every reason to believe the Indominus had escaped at that time.

[@EvilStevilTheKenevilPEN15]

The Indominus _did_ have a tracking device implanted, they could have checked it first. ...but then it removed the tracking device shortly after escaping, and used it to bait the humans into yet another trap, so when the humans _did_ use it later, it backfired! The real dumb decision with number 8 was keeping most of the Indominus' genome, including the fact that it could conceal itself from thermal cameras, classified.
