INDOMINOUSISGOD - Your enthusiasm is quite nice! With regards to your question: I believe that I-rex's genetically engineered nature is not necessarily a guarantee of superiority in a battle. As a matter of fact, it could be the animal's greatest weakness. As has been shown in a great many studies, genetically engineered life-forms are not as effecacious with regards to survivability and capacity for natural behavior as an animal born from the womb. There is simply something missing from thier biology that undermines their physiology and psychology. However, we are dealing with science fiction in this regard. As such, I-rex might very well be a hyper-powerful nightmare that simply desires to kill - and is more than capable of acting upon that desire with little or no difficulty! Regardless, I happen to believe that the Tyrannosaurus is going to be the victor if a battle ensues between her and the I-rex; that is simply what the vast majority of Jurassic Park fans would desire - and I happen to believe that the director is aware of this and would not risk angering that fan base! However, this is simply my conjecture; it very well could be that I-rex tears the T-rex to bloody bits! :)

None of us have yet seen the movie yet you claim that I-Rex is superior? How so? sure you can argue so with the info given, but have you yet seen it in full detail in the movie?

and I'm sure Primal is right, the Rexy may destroy the I-Rex to show how Nature will conquer over man's mistakes. That or man's mistakes may cause natura to crumble...

Depends on what turn Jurassic World takes into when it comes to moral/ethics.

I don't think JP III really hold relevance here, I mean; the sub-adult Rex from that movie almost bodied the Spino. Rexie is roughly the same size as that Spino and holds much more strength. I feel her experience would help her more against the Indominus than her physical prowess. I mean, sure she's older; but I think that's her main disadvantage. The Indominus has a much larger, faster, more durable, more youthful body that makes it faster. Here's how I think it will go; the two trade blows and bites, seeming very evenly matched at first. The battle goes on, Rexy begins to slow down due to her age and begins taking more damage in the tradeoff as the Indominus is suffering from no fatigue what soever. She soon is struck by a near-fatal wound from the Inominus and seemingly dies. As the Indominus begins to exit the scene, she is suddenly struck on the neck by Rexie who delivers a critical strike; a testimate to her experience.  The Indominus staggers and has trouble collecting itself. The two are nearly ruined by this fight, but Rexie collapses first and succumbs to the wounds; the indominus walking off in a severely injured state (this injury probably going to be the opening factor to its death.) Rexie faught hard, but was just outmatched by a more youtful carnivore that was engineered to be the perfect killing machine.

X_PADEN_X - OH! Hahaha! Um, nothing to see here, sir...

*quickly places Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurs "dino-damage" figures in purse and walks away whistling* ;)

I usually don't trust imdb as far as I could throw them (presumably a long, long way), but I figured this was at least well-articulated enough to be worth posting, just in case it's the real deal.

I would hope Rexy survives. She's only the icon of the series. 

Oh crap, it's the fuzz, quick, hide the Rex and Spino action figures!

It just occurred to me that a Rex skeleton was destroyed in the original. So what if a Spino skeleton gets destroyed? That's just Rexy being Rexy. She sees a skeleton, she destroys it I guess. 

Howdy,

Let's keep in mind trying to STEER away from Spino or Rex discussions in the future. This one seems pretty safe and such, so I'll try not to intervene, but try and keep it clean guys.  

Just like that Rumour about the Human Ape T-rex hybrid that lives in the restricted part of the island that "Saves the day"? This is the internet so... We gotta mind ourselves of what is Fiction, and what is non-fiction. 

Again, Rumours are often full of lies, But some will carry grains of truth with them, The truth here being, Rexy and I-Rex do get into a fight. (Y'know it's going to happen, don't even lie.)

But there is zero evidence supporting spino returning. It'd be cool, Yes, But there's nothing supporting that it'd come back. 

*sighs* Am I the only one who thinks Rex would actually stand a chance?

Anywho, here's what I think, take it or leave it, doesn't matter, I'm saying it.

The I-Rex was designed to be larger. Larger can refer to weight, length, or height. Because it's a movie, let's assume all three. Therefore, according to Wu, I-Rex is larger. However, actually looking at the I-Rex, she may not be as superior as you think. Her DNA consists of Carnotaurus, Rugops, Majungasaurus and Gigantosaurus (correct me if I'm wrong, but I know there's three Abelisaurs and Giga in her). That makes for length, agility, large arms, height, camo ability (according to toys I've seen and the fact that JP Carnos could camo themselves). Her skull is also fairly abelisaur more than Giga. It's more robust. That would make for an impressive bite, but not the most powerful. She also doesn't look that heavily built. She also somehow got very intelligent.

Rexy was designed to be as close to the real deal Tyrannosaurus Rex as she could be, and that's what she is, a 100% (slightly modified) T-Rex. She's heavily built, most powerful bite force on the island of Isla Nublar, the best sense of smell on Isla Nublar, and the fact that she survived 22 years in the wild must mean something when it comes to experience. You don't just survive for 22 years without knowing what you're doing. Rexy isn't stupid either. She may not be as intelligent as I-Rex, but she does make up for it. Being heavier and having a lower centre of gravity gives her an edge when push comes to shove and they start trying to push each other through a building.

But I'm sure the I-Rex would win every time IRL because she's a hybrid and Rexy's only going to win because it's a movie and to make T-Rex fanboys like me happy because we can't handle Rex's defeat to some dinosaur no one ever heard of in JP3, right?

@Sauronithoides

I took a bit of a course back in my younger years at the Royal Tyrell museum, And it's actually just pain. The plaster is molded around the fossil, Creating a cast. From there, they pour a resin into the cast getting an exact replica for display. They then go and paint it up and make it look more realistic. 

You have quite a love for I-Rex. I'm pretty sure that Rexy is actually going to win the fight in a throw back to the original and showing that nature will always conquer man's mistakes and creations. Btw, it's Indominus Rex not Indominous.

You miss the fact that this is a older animal, she's not frail and weak. She knows a fight better than the Indominus Rex with her experience with raptors in the Nublar incident of '93. Alot of people say "It doesn't matter who has the biggest weapon, it's how you use it." This means Rexy is more capable of defeating the I-Rex.

SPINOFAN - You are quite right! That would be a sight to behold! :)

SPINOFAN - I could not agree more! The new iteration of Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus is incredible! I used to consider the animal to be just another large theropod. However, with the revision, I have come to consider S-Aegy one of my top favorites! The animal is unique within the dinosaur kingdom - a true marvel! :)

Rexie probably won't win the battle, and will most likely die. I do, however, believe that the injuries she does end up causing the Indominous Rex would be a factor in its death. 

It's a proven fake. Even in early development of the renders, they'd polish up the meshes to being more detailed before they even begin to fathom putting them in a sequence. 

LORD VADER - You make a very fine point! I greatly enjoy the way in which you presented your argument in a down-to-Earth manner; it makes it feel organic and extremely valid by virtue of being honest truth! As an aside, I am certain that you were a perfectly nice and respectful eight year old. :)

KASEY KOCKROACH - Welcome to SCIFIED! It is always quite agreeable to see new faces! I happen to find your hypothesis to be quite likely - and very insightful. Jurassic Park 3, in my opinion, was a fun diversion. It did not require me to lend my reasoning power whatsoever - a breath of fresh air in some regards! I may not have enjoyed certain aspects of the film's plot, however, I can say with certainty that I am not ardently opposed to it. Once again, welcome to SCIFIED! :)

Spinofan, I believe it makes sense. The were people here who disliked the redonstruction with a passion burning hotter than the fires of hell. Just the same, they were the "T-Rex is a pussy and Spinosaurus is the thing we saw in Monsters Resurrected and JP3" type of Spinofans. There are reasonable Spino fans out there such as Raptor-401 and (from what I've seen of you) yourself. 

Ntwadumela, people are allowed to speculate. Some of the theories are fun to read. Sure, they may not be true looking purely at the skeleton and the Spino in JP3, but they are fun. It's someone's speculation, so don't go calling it stupid just because you disagree or know it's not true. Point out flaws, go for it. Insults, try to avoid them as much as you can. 

As a halfway gift, here's the next two days!

Seven Dilos spitting

Eight Trike heads swinging.

As a confirmed Spino fan I will come right out and say that I actually prefer the updated model over the older one. To me it simply makes too much sense and falls right into line with what we do know about Spino but I suspect I may be in the minority on that subject. Oh well, que sera sera.

Spino and Rexxy teaming up to take down I-Rex would be akin to Ali and Frazier teaming up to take down some mutant boxer. It has two chances; slim and none but what a sight to behold it would be!

For the people who think the skeleton is from the JP3 Spino, I just say this: look at the skull and stop making stupid theories.

I don't think it's always neccesarily about the spinosaurus itself, so much as what it represents (JP3). Some sort of in-joke like the skeleton, I suspect, wouldn't be taking a shot at the animal itself, so much as the maligned film it came from. For the record, I personally don't mind the third film (it's merely a disposable romp), this is just my theory. 

I respect everyone's opinions, but were you really that surprised by this "spoiler"? Since Jurassic Park 1, rival companies have been attempting to smuggle embryos out of InGen's hands. Eventually, one of them will be successful - it's the only logical direction this franchise can take.

Also, generally articles discussing facts about a sequel to a movie that you haven't seen the original for, will contain spoilers regardless. If you read about a sequel, you'll learn more about the original, there's no way to avoid that.

I, personally find this really interesting and exciting!

1. Echo, Charlie, Delta, Blue

2. Chris Pratt- Owen Grady, Ty Simpkins-Grey Mitchell, Nick Robinson-Zack Mitchell, Bryce Dallas Howard- Claire Dearing

3. My favorite part has to be the I-rex hatching from the egg. So creepy

That spoiler was not cool or appropriate.

Agreed, when you wrote "which we won’t discuss in too much detail to avoid spoilers" I thought "well it seems that it's safe to read on for now" and boom a huge spoiler...

{If you live in a cave, and didn't see Star Wars jump over this next paragraph! :P}

Its kinda like if I told you in 1980, less then a week before Empire Strikes Back's premiere, that "I won't discuss this too much in detail to avoid spoilers, but Darth Vader is Luke's father."

{Safe from now. :D}

I know it's my fault too, reading articles the titles of wich says even potential spoilers, but you could have wrote this article "safer".

You could have analyzed the whole maybe dinosaurs will be on the mainland in future films thing, and then as kind of evidence could have wrote this plot point entirely separate at the end of the article, with *SPOILER* tags before and after, as well as many empty lines between these tags and the plot point (similar as I did with that example above but with more empty lines), so those who don't want to read that part, couldn't even look at it without scrolling down.

The problem is fanboys. Now, there are people of the opinion that I'm a fanboy, but here's my take on it. Rex gets killed by Spino, Spino fanboys show up because this thing killed T-Rex, so obviously it's better than everything that ever walked the face of the earth (extreme cases). Then, you get the Rex fanboys. T-Rex was killed, this is bullshit, that shouldn't have happened, blah blah blah. There's also the general public, who don't give a damn. The Rex redemption, if it is to destroy the Spino skeleton, is not really that necessary. As Something Real said, T-Rex doesn't need redemption. 

Just the same, the me that saw JP3 8 years ago when I was 8 would probably be saying the Rex redemption is a must and it should destroy everything in its path. Aren't you glad I'm not 8 anymore?

SAURORNIITHOIDES - It is very compelling. :)

DINOZILLA0439 - You are most welcome. :)

SAURORNITHOIDES - If I may ask, what are lambhos and Bugattis? I have never before encountered these animals. Could you provide images and/or data, please? :)

Potential Spoiler? 

That is 100% a huge spoiler, and you should mark the article as such. I'm actually quite annoyed that I read up to where I did. That's a reveal of a major plot point.

It's particularly amusing that you open the article with "potential spoiler" and then following the excerpt you say that it was "brimming with spoilers". *sigh* 

ALPHADINO = lol, actually you just provided more evidence why im wrong. :D

but no worries! all in good and informative discussion, Good observations though and as Something Real always say "How very compelling!" :)

I agree with Sauronithoides.  She might still be alive on Sorna, and even if she died, it's not her skeleton.  She was much bigger, had a bigger head, had 2 eye crests instead of the one central crest, her sail was more of a sinusoidal curve rather than a parabola, and her forelimbs were much bigger.

GMAN: yes i thought about it before, come to think of it i dont really know why i stopped pursuing that idea. :/

           UPDATE: I remembered just now, it was because "Diabulous Rex" didnt sinked in to me yet, i                                mean his existence have just been confirmed during those days and people were still                              debating whether a dino hybrid is really acceptable in the JP universe and if this new                              dino badass could live up to the likes of spinosaur and t-rex as the main Antagonist, it                            was actually the party plates that sealed the deal for the indominus. :)

ALPHADINO: Yeah, i also thought about this idea, but i remember why i didnt continue on this one, i thought if T-rex and I-rex fought early in the movie none of them would actually walk out alive or if one actually did manage to get away, the animal would be too weak from injuries that it wouldnt probably be able to walk without limping and of course it wouldnt be able to fight anytime soon.

 :)

Yeah, I would like to see Indominus defeat one T-Rex/temporarily take one down before a rematch. Or, I would like to see it flat-out beat down Rexy before it (Indominus) loses.

Raptor-401,

Yes, very well said. You have my applause and agreement.

Something Real,

Thank you, I appreciate it. :)

Gman2887,

Yeah... hadn't even thought about that, actually. Makes a lot of sense

Overall, I think this post has been a success so far, in that it has accomplished my goal; to bring people together and agree that there doesn't need to be a 'Rex Redemption', because both Spino and T-Rex are awesome dinosaurs.

Well I never thought of it like that... Though as I once said, personally I would be interested in seeing the I-Rex at least kill one T-Rex...
