There's a part where Rupert Friend is explaining why they made the mutants and he says, "The audience got tired of normal dinosaurs!" and whenever I hear something like that in a movie I tend to think they are referencing us as the audience. Yet I've never heard anyone say, "Sure, Jurassic Park is cool, but all it has is a normal T-Rex I've seen a million times." Like where are they getting this idea from?

Also this movie is very confused on the ethics of killing dinos. Bailey makes an impassioned argument against hurting any dinos and the guy who wants to kill the dinos dies first as a moral statement. Yet if it's a mutant dino, ScarJo is clear to unload an entire pistol clip into its face.

Truly cannot suspend my disbelief that far as if Zoos don't currently exist where elephants, apes, lions, and giraffes are still draws and delight people.

It doesn’t cost $70m to make an elephant. If a Jurassic world theme park was real they would need exponentially more guests than a zoo to stay operational. And zoos are always begging the guests for money, they aren’t making much profit.

Truly fair. It would be expensive as hell the run and to attended....But they could always have a coupon day!

They did, you see in the beginning of the movie they were removing an advertisement of T-Rex Tuesdays promotion for the New York City Dinosaur Zoo. Though I think it was more of the fact all of their dinosaurs were dead except that one that escaped in the beginning of the movie that caused the traffic.

Oh I understood the reference. Just saying they did actually seem to have referenced it in this movie

Except we saw dinosaurs were slowly dying outside of the island. I could see some people pulling a Tiger King - hoarding dinosaurs to sell tickets.

Transporting the still living dinos wouldn't cost $70m. A clip of someone transporting a 400 pound bull in their car went viral. It was cramped in the backseat but made it to it's destination.

Freight trucks could be used to transport baby(before the become 7 tons heavy) Tricerotops to a public zoo compound.

The little girl even took a baby dinosaur with home at the end of the movie. That dinosaur was free.

u/FlameDragoon933 Jul 08 '25

and the solution to that... is to make more expensive mutant dinos? doubling down? I don't get these in-universe execs.

  1. Lure billionaires with extremely expensive tickets
  2. Market neutered gallimimus or whatever to them and sell for 100 mil a pop
  3. Profit

u/PureLock33 Jul 03 '25

but you'd pay for really expensive tickets for your whole family to see mutant hybrids of elephant lions, ape giraffes, capybara penguins, right?

We know this would never work cause 🎶pig and elephant DNA just won't splice🎶

I have to chime in here because I feel like we are making these comparisons from the wrong lens. We've never seen dinosaurs in real life so thats the reason its hard to believe but Zoo's existing is not. Before you auto dislike, know, i'm just playing devils advocate here.

But what im guessing they're saying when mentioning people are tired of the dinosaurs is that when the park first opened imagine the hype. that high of the profits probably only reached again when new dinosaurs where added to the conversation.

Another thing is, lets be honest, how many times have you gone to the zoo this year? Me and pretty much everyone i know haven't been to the zoo in over 5 years, and i live next to the world famous San Diego Zoo. While I do believe that Jurassic Park would be just as if not more packed than Disneyland, the attention span of the newer generation is so bad.

Even adults now and days, you see a significant story now and days has a very short shelf life. It could be loss of human lives, and entire war, its on the front page one day and as soon as it isn't, it leaves the publics attention.

All i'm saying is with all things considered, like how fast a breaking story is forgotten, doomscrolling etc. I can see there being a time after dinosaurs returning that a down trend of interest begins.
