Does anyone else think that Metriacanthosurus could/should make an appearance in Jurassic Park 4? Personally I think that it should because it's name appeared in the scene were Nedry was stealing the embryos in the first movie. [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090430165234/jurassicpark/images/1/14/JP-DinoDNA2.jpg[/img] Not sure how legit this picture is, but Metri appears on here too. [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120609001826/jurassicpark/images/6/60/Jptourmap2.jpg[/img] I know that Metriacanthosaurus isn't as catchy as Velociraptor or T-Rex, but I think it should appear at some point in the movie.

I can see that happening. I would like to see one of them make a small appearance, like the one of Dilophosaurus. Maybe killing somebody.

The picture is legit; I just watched Jurassic Park. I agree with you both, and I think Metri could very well be JackHorner's "terrifying" new dinosaur.

Especially if they re-use the "T-Rex is a scavenger" theory.

I hate that theory. Anyways, I think it's either going to be Metri or Carno "competing" for the role of minor predator with T-rex and Raptors maintaining their hold on the main predator spot.

Did anyone else notice Stegosaurus was misspelled? Also, by Metriacanthosaurus they meant Yangchuanosaurus because Yangchuanosaurus was at the time considered a species of Metriacanthosaurus.

I noticed that Stegosaurus was misspelled, and so was Tyrannosaurus. Yang or Metri, either would be cool.

Neither are big enough to fill the role as "super predator," but would make for a great minor one. MrHappy, I love that video. BTW, did anyone notice how they said T-rex may be the largest land predator ever? Score 1 for me, haha

Yangchuanosaurus was heavier than Allosaurus fragilis, and just as long. If A would count as a super predator, then so would Y.

If Yang qualifies as a super predator, then it will still be minor in the movie, as T-Rex will be in the movie as well.

I guess it would be. But give them a pack and T. rex is dead.

Why is T-rex always getting killed in your scenarios? I still want to see some more pack hunting with the tyrannosaurs. Like in TLW.

It would be a good fight, and it is possible for T-Rex to win. I doubt that Spielberg would have Rex killed by a minor predator, or at all.

Okay, I would like to see a Spinosaurus get killed by a pack of Giganotosaurus. Nobody can complain that that isn't how it would have gone and Giganotosaurus pack would have been killed by Spino.

Oh, and to answer your question rex fan, the reason I have T. rex get killed is because it wouldn't stand a chance against large pack dinosaurs. I'm not a very big fan of T. rex either. Of course I'm not very big on Spino too.

I think one Giga would give Spino a lot of trouble, let alone two or three. Anyone else remember my one idea with the Spino pair, with one getting killed by a pack of 3 Giga, the other running away.

I'm not talking about 2-3 Giganotosaurus, I'm talking about a sauropod killing 6-7.

Then nothing would stand a chance. Lets focus on the intention of this discussion, Metriacanthosaurus/Yanchuanosaurus in Jurassic Park 4.

Well let's leave our biased opinions of which dinosaur is our favorite out of this shall we? That goes for everyone. Trevorrow and Spielberg would never let T-rex get killed by a predator smaller than it. Spino was controversial enough. Even though a pack of Yangs/Metris are deadly, the general public would be even more miffed if they see something smaller than T-rex kill a T-rex. The disliked Spino for it, but at least Spino was in the same size class as T-rex. Metri/Yang are like what, half the weight, of T-rex? Get my point?

I do really want to see Yang on jp4. Its my second favorite dinosaur, what can you say. I would think it could be a nasty dinosaur that you wouldn't want to run into, and they do. It could kill someone, chase them around. Destroy a bit of stuff. And then get killed at the very end when T. rex saves the humans form it.

Like with Velociraptors in the first movie, but not as important. Give Rex it's hero moment in the movie, didn't see/don't remember if there was a Rex hero scene in the second movie, and Spino saved the people from the Carno in a way in the third.

Not really. Remember, in the book, Carno was up by the second movie. Spino saved people from Cerato.

Oh, and Carno was not in JP 3. It was Ceratosaurus.

He was correcting me, not you. Carno and Cerato are close, and there are discussions for Carno not Cerato, so I didn't think about Cerato

Delta, sometimes someone will post something at the same time as someone else and it comes up right after. Get what I mean?

Back to the Allosaurs. It would be cool to have a final dramatic fight at the end. Yang vs T. rex. Yang may be half as heavy, but is a hole lot faster. It was only 5 feet shorter too.

5 feet shorter, but way lighter. Even if it was fast, Rex wasn't a slouch either. It would be a good fight, but in the end, the general population (people who know nothing) would be happier to see Rex win in an awesome way.

There is a lot of similarities, but the one noticeable difference is the lack of nose horn on Carno.

Jp3 made them look similar on purpose. They changed Cerato a bit to make it look like Carno. And I'm sure that T. rex would cream Yang, the fight would be very good, and it wouldn't be Ty easy.

It would be a good fight, and in real life, Rex wouldn't get out of the fight unharmed. In Jurassic Park however, Rex would cream it with little to no effort, and Rex would live on as the invincible, king of the dinosaurs that had a shallow defeat in JP 3. Lets hope that Rex at least gets a noticeable wound.

I honestly don't care if Rex creams any dinosaur, Yang or Spino. I just wanna see it return as the major super predator. If it kills any other large carnivore, that's an added bonus.

Well I think they would try to make it in some real life and give rex some pretty bad wounds.mif not, then I'm going to be screaming at Trever and Speilberg.

That's true. I would like to see Rex get some form of injury in the fight if there is one.

Good point. There might not be a fight. What we need is to make the animations for DinoFights fights. That would be really cool.

Fight or not, I'm sure Jurassic Park 4 will be great with Spielberg in production. Personally, going off topic, I would love to see Rex and Spino alliance instead of a Rex/Spino fight.
