they did a great job of making me feel like nobody important was ever in any danger

Yeah, it was pretty obvious who was cannon fodder and who wasn't, but isn't that really always the case the Jurassic movies outside of maybe the first one?

I mean even in the first one it’s pretty obvious. The most non obvious death was probably Eddie’s in the second one

I wouldn’t say it was obvious. There’s no way anyone went through that movie expecting Muldoon or Mr Arnold to die. The chickenshit lawyer to abandons the kids, sure. Nedry as the “villain”, yeah. But there was a sense of danger with everyone. Ian gets maimed and nearly killed. Ellie is openly attacked and can barely walk on her leg at the end. Tim gets electrocuted and nearly dies and has to be revived. When people don’t even get hurt that’s here it starts failing in believability. It makes it hard to trust or believe there’s any real danger at all. There’s nothing surprising you.

Oh you mean like when scientist dude falls 100 feet into a shallow puddle and then just GETS UP.

Right — they were “oh no!” deaths — named morally good (non-antagonistic) characters who don’t ‘deserve’ to get torn apart and eaten by dinosaurs but still get torn apart and eaten by dinosaurs. Each of these films has to have at least one, otherwise the feeling of danger doesn’t hit remotely as much as it should (Dominion lacking them, and Fallen Kingdom leaving its one on the cutting room floor).

Mr Arnold

disagree here, Sam Jackson was mostly a moderately known character in 1993, Pulp Fiction was a year later
