Something Real
MemberTyrannosaurus RexMay-22-2014 12:40 AMHello there. As you've all no doubt already seen, the new dinosaur which will be gracing the Jurassic Park series isn't a natural-born killer. It's a genetic manipulation designed by the engineers of Jurassic World to bring in revinue. The Diabolus Rex, as it is named, seems to be an interesting creature - being a genetic bastardization between T-Rex, Velociraptor and Cuttlefish (really?) DNA. I'm certain it will provide for many a scare in the theatre - what with its ability to camouflage itself and the combined killer instincts of two very prolific predators. That being said, I have one very simple question regarding this animal: what in the name of all that is good and wonderful in Odin's beard could the engineers have possibly been thinking when they made this monster?! Does creating a creature with the properties present in the D-Rex sound like a good idea? It's as if the engineers WANT the bloody thing to get loose to start terrorizing the park and its guests! Who looks at the combination of genetic traits imbued within the D-Rex and says "Yeah, that'd be an entertaining bloke - let's put it into production"? What sort of "entertainment" could a creature like that provide, short of gutting and eating a cow on stage - after suddenly appearing before the horrified bovine to splatter it all over every surface? As always, your thoughts and conjecture are greatly appreciated, even if you choose to keep them to yourselves. :)
