Hello, this is the original Spinosaurus Rex from 5+ years ago (I really can’t believe it’s been that long). I’ve made a couple of visits here from time to time to see how things may have changed or if anybody from my time may still here. I miss our shinanigans and conversations, though they did tend to get out of hand from time to time lol. Nevertheless, I’m just curious to see how many new members there have been (here on the JP forums) since I’ve been away and of course, anybody who was here at the time I was. I’m free to talk about anything Jurassic Park/ Dinosaur related as I’ve got a couple years of college in geology under my belt, that and feel the need to express my disdain for where JW is headed lol. Anyways, I’d much enjoy to see some replies!

As far as Tyrannosaurids, its probably Tarbosaurus or Albertosaurus, after them Lythronax, Nanuqtyrannus, Zhuchengtyrannus, Daspletosaurus, and Teratophoneus (no particular order). As far as TyrannosaurOIDS, it gets a bit tough lol

Tbh, I like almost all of the Chinese Tyrannosaurs, Tarbosaurus and Zhuchengtyrannus most notably. I never was too big on Yutyrannus or Lythronax, however. Yutyrannus is considerable on account of its proof of feathers.

So do I, but I do have some favorites among them lol

Yeah, the Chinese Tyrannosaurs are really cool! But Dryptosaurus is probably my favorite non-Tyrannosaurid Tyrannosauroid and I don't think there was anything like it in China at the time, because it's such a primitive form.

The respect I have for Dryptosaurus coincides with the respect I have for dinosaurs such as Megalosaurus. Dryptosaurus was one of the first carnivorous dinosaurs ever discovered, in fact among the first theropods.

That’s why I love Megalosaurus so much, it’s what opened a new frontier of science and discovery due to being the first dinosaur ever unearthed.

Given you’re signature photo, I can definitely see that lol. I’ve always liked Dilophosaurus too and I’m disappointed with the JP series for not portraying them as their true size like in the book.

Yeah, and I bet the fact that they cancelled the only project where that was going to be the case doesn't help either, does it?

It's so frustrating and disappointing.

I mean they still have a chance to shoehorn it in there (if they’d actually listen to the fanbase). Technically, the first JP did kind of hint at it with Nedry when he came across the one Dilo and said “I thought you were one of your big brothers, you’re not so bad.”

Naturally, he could have been referring to the other larger species of the park. However, it’s a perfect set up for bringing in a full sized Dilo.

I meant with the whole "showing Dilophosaurus was bigger than was shown in the first movie" concept. The only project that was going to show the real-life size of the Dilophosaurus got cancelled, and that that really sucks.

See what I mean?

I knew what you were talking about from the beginning lol. I’m just saying even though they didn’t go through with showing a full size Dilo like the one in the concept, they still have a chance to bring one in for a future installment given the points I stated.

well the hologram Dilophosaurus from Jurassic World was bigger than the JP Dilophosaurus, the hologram Dilophosaurus was the same size as Delta

But that still didn’t give justice to the Dilos that were 10 ft tall in the book, and not to mention like you said, it was only a hologram. They had a great opportunity to introduce a full sized one in Fallen Kingdom, but just like everything in that movie, they massively under delivered.

That’s what I keep hoping for myself, but I’m not expecting much for the future to be completely honest.

Trevorrow and Connelly have effectively more or less killed the franchise for me and with them two returning as well as the woman who was responsible for ruining Pacific Rim Uprising picking up a role in scriptwriting, I’m not really feeling any excitement for JW3. 

It’s horrible I even say that knowing that Sam, Laura, and Jeff are returning for sizable roles and normally I’d be ecstatic, but that’s if the last two movies were actually any good. 

Horrifically, this franchise is headed down the same road as many other critically acclaimed franchises that have already been ruined by today’s agendas, such as politics, social justice and overall creating an aura that is centered around, well... children.

I mean when I say I’m disgusted, I mean I’m completely appalled by how Hollywood is destroying once great things and have turned them into propaganda for the aforementioned reasons.

Dilophosaurus is cool. My favorite is Velociraptor (Well, it used to be my profile pic after all!) and Carnotaurus.

Carnotaurus is amongst my favorite dinosaurs as well, it used to pretty much be my second favorite after all.

My favorite Dinosaur is Spinosaurus, but my favorite prehistoric creature is Megalodon, as you can tell by my profile pic... if it doesn't just look like a regular shark lol. I really wish that the Dilophosaurus (even just like the tiny one in JP if they didn't feel like making it bigger) was in one of the previous movies, and it WOULD be cool to see it in JW3, BUT it would also really, REALLY suck for them to do that. At this point its like if they don't put it in, "where is it?" and everyone will be mad it was only in the first movie. If they DO put it in, it won't live up to the hype that's been built up after so long of not seeing it, like if there ever was a Half-Life 3 made, it would never be good enough. Also, with the plot of JWFK, it wouldn't make sense for there to be a Dilophosaurus anyways since they died on Isla Nublar (by the way, why wouldn't they try to capture a Dilophosaurus? It would be a really good addition to the whole militarized Dinosaur shtick by being a ranged attacker/sniper, it'd make a good pet or trophy, especially if they increased its size. It would have been a great addition to their auction! That would have been the perfect way to reintroduce the Dilophosaurus into Fallen Kingdom (if they added a horror scene with it) and keep it in the franchise). One could argue that they may have been engineered by other people, but then there's almost no way for it to logically be like the one in Jurassic Park, because they wouldn't splice the genome the EXACT same way they did in 1993. Even if it IS, well, why is it there NOW?!!!!! No matter what they do regarding the Dilophosaurus, they've basically messed it up.

Ummm hold the phone LazyFish, the Dilophosaurus isn't listed as extinct also one of the embryo vials that were being taken by Maranai Mercenaries belong to a dilophosaurus so.... they aren't extinct yet
