To see if I am the only one who feels the way I do, I decided to set up this thread and ask one question: in relation to Spinosaurus, who else is against Rex Redemption?

I am a Rex fan, and have been all my life, but I'm also a Spino fan and honestly I hate the idea of Jurassic World trying in some way to show that Tyrannosaurus Rex is better than Spinosaurus. As much as I wanted to see some kind of cameo for Spino in the film, now I'd rather they left it out if they have no good intentions for it.

The fact is, there are Spino fans out there, and do something like having the T-Rex knock over the Spino skeleton is really just going to wind up bothering them, even if it makes the Rex (only) fans happy. It's just repeating the original scenario again (having Spino beat Rex, bothering Rex fans), but just switching sides.

I could be the only one who feels this way, and if this thread gets no comments I'll get my answer, but I was just curious as to whether or not I was alone in this.

Note to Rex Fans: As I said, I am also a fan of T-Rex. A big one, actually. I simply don't like the way  Jurassic World might be handling Spino, the same way you guys didn't like how T-Rex was beaten in JP3. This post was in no way supposed to annoy, frustrate, bother, upset, or in any way insult Rex fans.

Thanks for reading!

Has anyone considered that the #RexRedemption was only in context to Jurassic World?  Maybe I.rex does in fact defeat T.rex, goes around spreading more terror, when Rexy comes out of nowhere, tries again to kill her, and wins?  Or something like that.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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? :)

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?

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.

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! :)

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. :)

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.

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.

LOL Vader that is actually so funny, "Spots a skeleton DIE!" Reminds me of the Budk in TLW biting the traffic light, or more specifically my rabbit Popcorn, he sees a either an action figure of my brothers or sees a peice of paper, instantly attacks it and bites...

 

But yeah I am very Anti-Rex Redemption, I love both animals!

oh I personally think the spino skele being brought down is just collateral damage during the T-rex vs I-rex fight, and i think it would be quite an epic one since Josh Gad twitted, 

"Last 20 minutes of the movie is cinematic bliss" well, just me thinking positively. :)

 

Something Real: well, well, well im amused at this innocent question by someone who is so intellectually competent. :)

"Lambho and Bugatti"

Those ma'lady are cars. :)

SAURORNITHOIDES - OH! Hahaha! I-I am so very embarrassed! Please, forgive my foolishness. I will make a focused effort to not be so foolish in the future. Ugh! I am such a dunce! I will continue to berate myself in a few cycles. Until then, thank you very much for sharing this illuminating information with me, good sir. :)

Lamborghinis and Bugattis aren't just any cars, they're high end supercars. The prices are in 6 figure territory, and that's about all the knowledge I have on those things. The engine is usually in the middle too. That's all I really know. Personally, I prefer class American muscle over anything else when it comes to cars.

LORD VADER - What is "class American muscle"? :)
