MemberTyrannosaurus RexJul-05-2013 3:23 PMDecided to see what the most popular dinosaur from the Jurassic Park trilogy is most popular. I think that the Velociraptor will be, but, you never know.
Mine is T-Rex. I love T-Rex. The Raptors may have been the main killers in all 3, but T-Rex is my favourite. I guess it was the way they introduced it, with the water in the cup rippling, the goat disappearing, and then the leg falling onto the car as the Rex swallowed the goat whole. I liked all the Rex scenes in the trilogy (maybe not as much in the third). The Raptors are important, but so is Rex, and the final roar at the end of the first one was awesome (I saw it in IMAX 3D with surround sound, it was so loud).
The Raptors will likely be most popular because they were the main killers, they had a kind of, "creepy" for a lack of better word, quality to them. Their appearances were not as open as Rex or Spino (who I will get to next). While Rex and Spino chased after their human victims, the Raptors lied (not sure about spelling) in wait, sticking to the dense brush, darkness, and long grass.
Spino, in my opinion, will be the least popular of the three I am listing. I think this because they introduced it wrong. Just because they were replacing Rex, didn't mean they had to kill it off. It also had a minor role in the film, it took out an airplane and was the reason they were stranded, but after that, it was minor didn't contribute much. Nothing against Spino, just my thoughts.

MemberCompsognathusJul-08-2013 7:58 PMGood point. Since Spino has the advantage of height, he was able to attack from slightly above. While I think that Spino's wrist action was in fact superior to that of Rex and other therapods, I don't think Spino's hands alone could break Rex's neck. The wrist action would be developed for groping in rivers, grasping and clawing for fish, but not for breaking bone, like Rex's jaws. It was the combined motion of hands, neck, and jaws that made Spino the victor.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJul-08-2013 8:08 PMIt was a combination of Spino's hands neck and jaws, as well as Rex's inexperience, being a juvenile, and a scavenger according to Mr. Horner, probably never fought in it's life. Looking at it scientifically, Spino won for the reasons listed above. Slink also won because Horner wanted it to win.
Spino may have been taller, but it could have worked against it too. Rex could have attacked Spino from below the same way Spino could have attacked from above.

MemberCompsognathusJul-08-2013 9:12 PMIn JPOG, the Rex wins the death duel by swinging it's head down and grabbing the Spino's throat. He basically mangles it and then twists the Spino's head nearly 180 degrees. Is this accurate, maybe. Is it inaccurate, maybe. Same goes for the JP 3 fight.

MemberCompsognathusSep-13-2013 11:44 AMI believe the compsognathus had to be my favorite just because of how many there were and the way they remembered the guy shocking one it was like revenge when killing him. They were very minor characters but it was awesome.

MemberCompsognathusJan-12-2014 11:27 AMI think I'm one of the few who liked the Spinosaurus, after all, that must've been an extremely battle-hardy Spinosaurus, since it managed to kill a T.Rex
Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-
