Jurassic World's Dinosaurs Are Terrible

This video is both a critique of Jurassic World from a conceptual perspective as well as an examination of what the movie gets wrong about extinct animals.
Scientifically accurate representations of dinosaurs and other extinct animals on the big screen would be awesome simply due to the rarity of paleontological accuracy in pop culture, but more importantly, I think rooting the Jurassic film franchise in scientific knowledge would create a more unique, interesting, and enjoyable movie experience. While this might seem counter-intuitive, grounding the appearance and behavior of extinct animals in reality can actually circumvent lazy writing and common tropes, while also making the on-screen animals far more interesting and creative.
Basically, my thesis is that the abundance of scientific inaccuracy in movies featuring animals (both extinct and extant) often creates stupidity and stifles creativity.

[@lozm4835]

I know I'm like, four years late, but watching this video, I couldn't help but think about how the Indominus would have had more impact if the Dinosaurs were more natural, and the Indom more directly monstrous. It being covered in a thick armoured plates, its lips permanently curled into a cruel snarl causing it to perpetually drool and breath with a Vader-like whistle. Whilst publically it's all genetics, metal plates and reinforcement has been surgically added because there's no way it could hold its weight otherwise. A creature that, the first time Chris Pratt's character sees it, he comments that it must be in constant pain to live - and it's designed that way to make it more aggressive, 'more exciting' compared with the more natural, comparatively healthy dinosaurs. You could even lean into this - instead of the park losing money, it's just not performing 'well' enough, making it more clearly a story of hubris and corporate greed (Whoops, tautology). It'd never survive in the wild, but the threat still exists because this horrid abomination is still aggressive and unnaturally fearsome enough to kill hundreds, even thousands of people, as well as all the protagonists.

The whole point of Jurassic Park was that they were trying to portray dinosaurs as animals not monsters. So in reality when there’s a volcanic eruption the last thing you’re going to expect is a T-Rex roaring in triumph after a battle with the mountain exploding behind it, like all animals they would’ve sent the eruption and tried to stick around the coastline to keep as far away from it as possible. The whole purpose of Jurassic Park was, it felt claustrophobic to be stuck on an island with your technology gone and you were at theMercy of nature being naked almost. And feeling the primitive fear of being hunted.

[@DzinkyDzink]

Raptors in the original act pretty monstrous after being confronted by a shotgun. Also the Rex sneaks upon them and one of the raptors makes a suicide charge... They were always monsters, not animals.

[@wolftal1178]

@@DzinkyDzink I will admit, the Raptors were without a doubt monsters. There must’ve been something wrong with their make up, ironically in an early draft of Jurassic World, which they still have in its lore, Owen Grady had five raptors originally. The fifth was actually one of the earlier DNA Versions from the original park. And unlike the others it was far more aggressive and vicious. To the point where the other raptors ganged up on it to try and remove it. So there was definitely something wrong with the earlier raptors makeup. But the rest of the dinosaurs acted like completely normal animals, even the T-Rex.

While I like the Jurassic World films, it clear that they focused on the stereotypes that the predecessors unfortunately created. It’s like how Jaws made sharks look like monsters. However almost every inaccuracy in the first movie has a good excuse for existing. The raptors are oversized due to being based on a different raptor species and also because they wanted human actors to fit in them. The TRex poor eyesight had a book explanation which is apparently due to the frog dna in the Rex caused it. The dilophosaurus looks like that because Spielberg thought that it would be confused by audiences for being another raptor. So it’s size was made smaller and it’s frill was given. Jurassic World has no excuse. It was the perfect opportunity to do what the original set out to do but it seems the film makers were afraid of backlash for a drastic overhaul on what the dinosaurs should look like and playing it very safe for a franchise that had been unpopular for 14 years at that point.

19:34 Pokémon put alot more effort in it's dinosaurs. Tyrantrum's ruff feathers nod to the dinosaurus it is based, the culture the game is based on and the theme of the game. The etymology of Tyrantrum and tyranosaur of which it is based is the word tyrant and both are known as kings of the dinosaur world and kings wear ruffs. Specifically ruffs were in fashion during the baroque period in France and the game is set in France. And the 6th generation of Pokémon from which Tyrantrum originates is about the concept of beauty and a ruff is a fashion item. The creative liberty to put a ruff on a T-rex was't to enforce a marketable stereotype like the dinosaurs in Jurrasic World. It was to express a creative idea. Oh and also Archeops is a dinosaur pokemon with feathers who's whole concept is bein an early flight capable bird and the ingame animation of it struggling to lift itself in the air is hilarious.

Couldn't agree more. It was interesting to hear the Film Theory's video on Jurassic world and they way in which it's built. I suppose it talks about how the lack of space and environmental accuracy of their enclosures could potentially drive an animal crazy with stress. You see other real, intelligent animals kept in unsuitable conditions exhibit violent and self harming behaviors, pulling out their own feathers and attacking their partners. But then as the film is trying to stress the intelligence of these animals, they would do well to look at the behaviors of other highly intelligent and social birds. For example, the way in which crows mob animals and people but in a very self preserving manner. Also, don't know if you watch Scishow at all but they had an interesting video on "killer seagulls" recently which have actually been depleting the whale populations of an area by eating them alive while they calf. Even seagulls are horrifying birds that can kill baby whales! Some have learned to go for the eyes of seal pups so that the rest of the birds can devour them while they're blind! NASTY! When I was a kid I loved dinosaurs and watched that old 90's Walking with dinosaurs show (the one with just narration, no people)and the moment when the mother T-rex dies from a single blow from an ankylosaurus(I think) stays in my mind. I remember feeling so entranced as it was just like watcing a David Attenborough documentary. Where as the Jurassic world films just feel like an insult to dinosaurs, the intelligence of the audience, science, female characters, etc. It's totally missing the point. Might I add that when kids become fascinated with things, they memorize facts, a smart dino loving kid will know about the real dinosaurs and I expect will be disappointed to see this mess.

[@somesassybrat305]

I especially disliked how they didn't behave like animals at all. The carnivores were as you said, literally behaving like 28 days later zombies, and the herbivores were docile, brain dead creatures. I'd actually love to see a movie where a triceratops or any sauropod behave liike an african elephant or hippo, flipping their shit when they see anything coming to close and just move in to gore/stomp it in a fit of territorial rage.

[@thorodinson6625]

Imma explain all this in a minute. Aside from the indominus, the only carnivores I witnessed behaving abnormally were the Pteranodon and Dimorphodon. But that was due to the size of their cage(which they all had to share despite being so many), a possible lack of food, which is sort of implied by Claire looking at all the animals as just money machines, and the indominus suddenly barging in. It's stuff like this that caused them to snap. I think Jurassic World is basically telling us that, if you treat a carnivore as what you think it is, it's gonna become what you perceive it as. Had the cage been bigger and more suitable, it's possible they'd stick to themselves. And even if they were to attack, I doubt that it would be in such a fashion. 2nd: Herbivores We will ignore the triceratops and stegosaurus since they're not attacked by anything in the movie. But the apatosaurus. This herd was cloned in an island designed to keep different species from interacting with one another. Then the indominus suddenly shows up and acts very aggressively. My only explanation to this (it could make sense, it could be dumb) is that it's kinda like humans. Some people are scared of spiders and rodents, which can be obliterated with one stomp. I think that's what's happening here. Overall, I think Jurassic World took the behavior of their animals into consideration, and dealt with these in ways not immediately visible.

[@somesassybrat305]

@@thorodinson6625 nah, 100% sure they didn't think that way when making the movie, and also, this has been prevalent in the previous movies as well. In fact, the only JP where the herbivores didn't act passive as hell was the lost world, where they'd either run away in a frenzy, or the stegosaurus scene protecting their kid and the pachycephalosaurus defending itself when being leashed. Even in JP1, the brachiosaurus was so passive, for example, the encounter in the treetops. Would have been hilarious if it'd actually snapped Timmy up as an easy protein snack.- In case you think this is far-fetched, just look up some videos where horses or cows deliberately chomp up a chick or small bird as if an easy snack. Herbivores are known to actively eat smaller animals should the opportunity present itself.

[@themanwiththecrystaleyes464]

I was and still al disappointed that the movies went this rout of making designer dinosaurs. Even the games revolve around splicing dinosaurs together and making hybrids. Jurassic park and the Lost World tried their best to not only look scientifically accurate for their time but to also present the dinosaurs as actual animals. He frog DNA was used because it was an easy way of explaining how dinosaurs could suddenly change genders and reproduce. It played a slightly bigger role in the novel but it could’ve totally been dropped in the movie and nothing would’ve changed. The new dinosaurs look not only scientifically in accurate but horrible. Firstly the Pteranodon from JP3.... it’s literally called the TOOTHLESS flier... and they gave it teeth. The new one fixed this but only at the expense of it looking like demon. It’s shrink wrapped to such an extent the eyes are inside the head past the visible bones, they have no crests and the colors look absolutely unappealing.

Jurassic Park made them animals. Scary, weird-looking animals, but animals. Also, it had interesting writing. They had a variety of different moments and they had character development. Every encounter with a dinosaur in Jurassic World is intended to be a scary one and nobody really develops.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

If an Eagle was the size of a car, I’d be scared out of my mind. Even at their size, eagles can be pretty intimidating. If you’ve ever looked at their “kill claw” which is what they often refer to their thumb. That is the digit that has the largest and thickest claw. It is the one they pierce the spine or internal organs with when capturing prey. The claws are frightening enough, but that beak just looks like a serious ripping and tearing weapon. Sharp, with scissoring action, it can cut through flesh like scissors. Something not common knowledge is that feathers make better armor than most scales. Being raised on a farm, I had to dispatch many chickens. Roosters, in particular, have very thick feathers around their neck, even the sharpest cleaver or hatchet can not be sharp enough to cut through those feather in one swing. In fact, the cleaver or hatchet most likely breaks their neck rather than cutting off the head. It’s very difficult to cut through those feathers. A chicken neck is very thin, so all of the girth is created by layers of feathers. Since their neck is their most vulnerable area, they have the thickest feathers there to protect their necks when they fight each other. A chicken has a spur, which is actually still the thumb digit, just located higher up the leg and is used by the males to strike at each other when asserting dominance. It would be an instant death every time they got in a little fight, if not for those feathers, so feathers are no joke and would make any dinosaur with feathers more formidable than one with scales. That’s a fact. It’s the only reason roosters don’t kill each other when fighting in the hen yard. Feathers are like scale mail used in suits of armor. The only armor stronger is plate mail and few animals, like turtles, carry plate mail. That’s why a turtle can be nearly impossible for most predators to get to.

[@poppyraima5342]

The first half of the video regarding the problems with anatomy and physics is spot on. One of the best unintentionally hilarious moments to me in _Fallen Kingdom_ was actually because of one of these moments, specifically the Indoraptor doing a pull up when it first broke through the glass roof. The skinny and incorrectly pronated arms just struck me in that moment as absolutely hilarious even though it was supposed to be a scary "Oh no, we didn't win" moment.

[@CJCroen1393]

There was one possible explanation I've seen for the pterosaurs "Attack On -Titan- Main Street"--the pterosaurs were driven out of what was, essentially, their habitat, so they sought a new one. They proceed to stumble upon an area with tall structures that'd make excellent roosts and a large body of water that they'd likely instinctively associate with lots of fresh fish to eat. Being territorial, they likely wanted to drive the perceived "native" population (e.g., humans) out in order to claim the new territory for themselves, and some of course probably wanted to grab some snacks along the way. It's not a perfect explanation, but I was willing to believe it. ...Then that theory was thrown out the window by JW2, wherein Claire reveals that the pterosaurs actually didn't like the Aviary that much and that they attacked BECAUSE they were improperly socialized/trained (maybe the staff WAS starving them all this time...certainly explains why they're so shrinkwrapped). So now the film has no excuse. I liked the scene, myself, but it's definitely better looked at as a monster movie scene than anything naturalistic.

I just wanted the raptors to eat Chris Pratt.

This was not a video I ever expected you to make.

I don't know why but I feel like the JW movies are just enforcing a steryotype that dnosaurs are just for kids and that we shouldn't put in effort to make them look like real animals.

Ever since I saw Jurassic World, I was disappointed on how inaccurate the dinosaurs and pterosaurs look in this movie. It seems like the movies have gave up and decided to stay on stereotyping them as opposed to updating them. So disappointing. :(
