JURASSICWORLD - I have seen this as well! It would be quite fantastic if we get to see Jurassic World a day earlier! Living in the UK has some benefits! ;)

X_PADEN_X - This was very fun! I greatly enjoyed listening to Dr. Malcom's version of how the events at Jurassic Park unfolded! Thank you so much for finding this and sharing it with us! :)

Are these animals going to be on island or on the mainland? That seems like a lot of animals for one island.

^My gosh, you're right! This will be the first time a woman is killed in a Jurassic Park movie.

Also, Pteronadon is not a dinosaur. It is a flying reptile. Calling it a dino is completely inaccurate.

Image works for me and it looks cool so far!Maybe could use some editing on some of the facial feautures, though.

IF you are asking for evidence on what you said, check your e-mail history. And James took over your base when you gave him your pwoer so eveyrhting is destroyed. What Rebellion leaders? They are all gone.

And I shall not join.

Also if you didn't see I left a reply on your recent topic, telling you becasue you like to read what other peeple say about your content.

Also I might not reply back since I need to be conservative in preparation for my 3000th post. Not bragging or anything, but just don't expect me to reply back.

It's not appearing. Try uploading it to tinypic and then reupload it.

What evidence? 

If the Rebellion is in ashes, why are its members still around? If anything, we are stronger than ever. We even have an official goal that has been posted in a different topic. A goal that will lead to equality and freedom. No more will homeless people be homeless. Money will not be required in our world. Life will be better for everyone. Heck, if you surrender now, you can skip your prison sentence and jump right in to our society. 

Well, as for the Collin Raptors, I'd say I'm not as upset for how they look ( I mean, of course they're going to go with the original scaley look. That's what's popular. I'm not happy about it, but that's the way it is.), but the way they act.

Look at those tail movements; WAY too flexible. And they way they run at their target literally teeth first (as seen in the animated poster video) is absolutely ridiculous.

The raptors are trained to take down rogue dinosaurs, right? If they are communicating, the rogue dinosaur can hear them. And so, the raptors would only communicate if they really don't know what the nublar is going on, meaning that the trainers would see it as a bad sign. Or they are just hoping the I-rex forgot how to hear raptors... right???

Great chater, curious to see what will happen next.

Wait, Lord vader, you said yourself you left because you didnt "GAF" about the war. THis proves you don't even care about your own Rebellion, which, well, lies in ruins.

The Rebellion is now just ashes.

And as for the video perhaps I will watch at a time when I am bored...

That makes about as much sense as the plot in every episode of Family Guy.

Dimwitted

And

Foolish

I love it! :)

@Peter Zanetti: you say, “No. That is not "well known" at all. It is, in fact, a theory, with very dismal evidence to support it. There is as much evidence to support the idea that they did NOT have feathers.” Then go on to say, “I'm not saying no dinosaurs had any feathers. I'm saying its impossible to know if they did or did not, and what little evidence exists indicates that they probably did not.”

Huh???. So what about the dozens of different coelurosaurian fossil species that clearly show various types of feathery impressions? How does that validate your contention that it is “impossible” to know whether or not dinosaurs had feathers? Your statement flies in the face of empirical evidence. Unless you are claiming that these are not feathers at all, in which case I don’t think the majority of scientists would concur.

You say, “For how much dinosaurs resembled avians, in modern times it is trendy to ignore how much they still share traits with reptiles. Dinosaurs were not mammilian birds. They are very, very old acenstors to mammilian birds, and also some modern day reptiles.” First of all there is no such thing as a “mammalian bird.” Birds and mammalian are distinct clades, however both have endothermic physiologies. Dinosaurs share many more traits with modern day birds than they do with modern day reptiles. In fact, most paleontologists today agree that birds are coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are ancestors of birds because birds are dinosaurs. However, no modern day reptiles proper are descendants of dinosaurs. The closest living reptilian relative to dinosaurs is a crocodile, an archosaurian cousin but not directly related.

You say, “For those wondering, most existent fossilized skin impressions from dinosaurs indicate scaly hide.” However, scaly hide and feathers are not mutually exclusive. Because we have a patch of fossilized scaly skins doesn’t mean that an animals didn’t have feathers somewhere else on the body that wasn’t fossilized. Kulindadromeus, the recently discovered feathered ornithischian had scaly hide and feathery structures. If these feathery structures prove homologous with the other great group of dinosaurs, the saurishians, which many scientists are leaning towards, then based on phylogenetic bracketing this means that most all dinosaurs probably had these feathers of some sort, at least at some stage of their life. This is not indulging the “tiniest hint of a possibility” the evidence that many dinosaurs had feathers is getting better and better. For the creators of Jurassic World not to acknowledge this with their dino designs is extremely bad form at this point.

But feathers aside, the body shape of the JW raptors suck.  Their heads look like black mamba snake heads in a way....pathetic.  And the backs are hunched or rounded a little....very dismal.  Most of the animals in JW look like they are stuck in the 80s....Trevorrow should be banished from Hollywood for this outrage.

^Rebellion spelled backwards is Noilleber. The first two letters spell out "No". JW doesn't want the Rebellion.

A bit long, so I guess I'll watch this later.

Interesting. Not going to watch due to lack of time though.

DAF spelled backwards is FAD, because that's what the DAF is. 

Yeah, it's opened in 2005 according to the story, so this year it's 10 years anniversary. In addition, Zack and Gray should know about the park from their real aunt, Claire Dearing, and not from the TV.

But if we put these aside, it's not bad. :)

@Lord Vader Well from one Jp fan to another I see it as my duty to rejog your memory...

As you can see the group from JP is looking up at Rexy munching down on a velociraptor, but yeah 'm stoked for this scene as well.

@Sci-Fi King25 omg what if the reason Owen isn't scared is because one of his raptors that proves to be loyal jumps in to save the day.

Personally, I think the explanation for color differences between all three movies is the same as the reason why none of these guys are covered with feathers: gene splicing. Every new raptor out of the lab has a new set of genes that have been spliced. If two were to breed, their offspring would again be vastly different due to all the animal combos in the basic formula.

Nonetheless, if I had to choose a favorite, I would have to go with the JPIII raptors. I loved their behavior out of all of them; the way they owned a hierarchy in the pack, their bird-like twitches and bobbing, and their planning in hunting. It was like watching a pack of modern-day animals coordinate and attack, only, you know, dinosaurs.

I also feel out of all the movies, the Raptors in JPIII had the best CGI given to them. If we want to talk about seamless work, the puppets and 3D rendering were virtually spot on for the raptors. You could literally set up a 3D raptor and a puppet side-by-side and hardly tell the difference at all; and they DID do that. A LOT.

I have no idea what people mean when they say JPIII had bad CGI. To this day, some scenes confuse me to wheteher the dinosaurs are real objects or not.

Hm. Owen doesn't seem scared at all.

It appears that they're standing in the Raptor Paddock or a hatchery of some sort. Maybe some sort of raptor?

Not bad, but if I'm not mistaken, JW has been open for a few years before the movie takes place.

Actually, they were looking at a Velociraptor jumping for them in JP. As for the JW one, can't wait to see that scene.

I see. 

The term is leader. I am your leader. 

Double post 

^ Such a damn good post their is no point in hiding.

Im still Rebellion, this whole Insurgents thing was a scam by me and Tyrant King to fool the DAF.

With a great Ally like Lord Vader to the Rebellion, we stand strong.

Well if you compare the two stills you can see that in the JP still the group is looking up at Rexy towering above them, but in the JW still they are looking at something directly in fron of them. I don't know what's going to happen in this scene, but my guess is that they are looking at velociraptors or something else around that size.

Two comments by today and I will post more of the story.

GREATESTFLICKEVERJP1 - Wow! You certainly have a strong opinion with regards to Jurassic World - and there is nothing wrong with that! If you do not like what you have seen, simply do not support the film. I, for one, find the premise of the I-rex to be quite compelling! The animal itself is (in my opinion) obviously malformed in both physiology and psychology. Its teeth are not situated quite right, it moves about as if uncertain of how to behave within its own body (it appears to have a stance that is a strange combination of both a bipedal and quadrupedal method of locomotion), and it is quite obviously insane! The honest truth of the matter is that an animal that has been so gentically bastardized (from what I have read and observed) could not possibly be born "correct". This is a true "monster"; everything that audiences want - and the next logical leap that a multi-billion dollar industry would take in order to remain viable in a competitve industry. :)

I am NintenWill, but Will is fine

My favourite dinosaur is Carcharodontosaurus

My favourite film is a tie between Jurassic Park and Godzilla (2014)

Loved dinosaurs since I was a toddler, still love em' now that I'm 16 and I have an

array of medical conditions ( ?° ?? ?°) 

LORD VADER - That was extremely fun! I am so very pleased you have returned to continue sharing these excellent stories with us! I like the addition of the RPG; I can not wait to see it get a little action! Thank you so much for creating this and sharing it with us! :)

Jurassic World is going to be the first Jurassic Park film to kill of a woman. :o

We see Raptors, the RPG sees use, and the bridge is just used to get to the jungle. RPG sees action in Chapter 8.

Mention of raptors? RPGs? Rope bridge? I sense a foreshadowing.

Nice chapter! I'm happy to see this is still around.

@JurassicWorld

Keep in mind the films are "Based on the book(s) by Micheal Crichton" So they don't have to be exact. 

In "MC The lost world" I feel like the Greatest problem with it, Was the Size of the island. MC most likely had a concern with this too, As he is the one who helped to write TLW and JP (movies) and decided on going on a larger island. 

I think the map in the book, was just to help visualize what it looked like... Everythings WAAAAY to close together and there in no way should be enough land to support all of the dinosaurs for that long. 

So, In short... The reason the two aren't the same, Is because a choice was made to make the island larger and more "Freedom" like. Writers choice, I suppose. 

However, Another reason is because the movies and the books, are two different Universes. Another notable universe in JP being: Jurassic Park The game. Which takes place in the Movie world, But has very crucial things hinting off to it also having aspects from the Books. 

GREATESTFLICKEVERJP1 - Sorry, but I can't agree. You seem to look at it as purely a movie-making idea, and not what came out of an attempt to write a story that rang true, and would be the most believable.

If you understand the JP story and universe, you'd know that logically, somehwere down the line, someone would exploit the technology and make the original vision "work". Then once the original vision worked, and time went on, they would be seeking to expand the popularity of their attractions.

And for geneticists that have actually created and brought back to life dozens of dinosaur species...they would inevitably push boundaries of it. Combined with corporate interest in what profits could be drawn from experimenting with hybrids...its just all completely inevitable. In other words, if the JP universe were real, the story of this movie is an eventuallity. It had to have basically written itself, for someone willing to listen.

That said, they couldn't have done a better job keeping it tasteful and making a dinosaur character that is not all that divergent from previous Rex/Spino characters, and is totally believable.

You claim its SO horribly bad because they didn't call it a Giganotosaurus. News Flash, if they had gone that route...you're still probably seeing visually the same representation. The same movie. This is what their "Giganotosaurus" would have looked like anyway (mostly).

At least with it being an unpredictable hybrid, it is far more believable that something could go wrong in the first place. A mature, 10-years-running dino park should know how to prevent one carnivore from burning the place to the ground.

And I. rex bares no signficant resemblence to king kong's therapod.

Peter Zanetti I wasn't only talking about feathers when I sugested "more realistic dinosaurs". In the trailers we can see Stegosaurus galloping when in reality it's anatomically impossible, we see theropods with "zombie" hands (in the previous films too) for example.
And since you focused on feathers issue, I don't think that because of some species had feathers, now all dinosaurs must be feathered. But some dinosaurs featured in the Jurassic Park franchise were feathered, like the raptors.

So, next time take it easy and don't generalize like you did, I'm far from a expert but I'm not an " armchair dinosaur enthusiast".

I don't mind the idea and execution for the scene itself, but the I.rex is one of the most stupid ideas that could have been implemented in the JP franchise at this point.  We are not even getting to see a dinosaur that actually existed here...were is the wow factor in that?  What traditionally set JP apart from other fantasy sci-fi films is that we knew that the animals we were seeing were based, even if somewhat loosely at times, on real animals.  I. rex has completely obliterated that strength of the JP franchise.  Not to mention that I rex looks like a ripped off version of Jackson's King Kong reptilian based T. rex.  I. rex is stupid,, stupid, stupid....an epic fail.  It should have been replaced with a hyper aggressive Carcharadontosaurus or Giganotosaurus.....

X_PADEN_X Thansks for explaining that for me. One thing that doesn't make sense, is in the edition of TLW book that I have, there is a map which shows Isla Sorna to be a lot smaller than the film version.

Not bad. Nice work.
