Just watched “Jurassic World Dominion” on Netflix Prime. It was perfect propaganda for the open-minded who like to see movies with Happy Endings.
The movie proceeded much like all the other Jurassic Park movies, with lots of monsters and screaming and people getting eaten, of course, though it’s the ending that is meant to stick with you. It’s about wonderful, wonderful Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Yes, At Long Last, the dinosaurs and modern creatures all learn to live together, and as the sun sets in the west, we see a mixed herd of two-legged herbivorous theropods and wild horses running together, a flock of ravenous meat eating pterodactyls and bug eating geese flying peacefully together, and something vaguely like a couple of megalodons swimming together, alone together, but the gentle, happy music played on as the narrator told us how everything was living happily together. The big hungry dinosaurs were not eating everything else, no, oh no. While it wasn’t said out loud, I knew that it was a perfect world of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and if anyone is sappy enough to believe that this impossible fairy tale can actually apply to Real Life, I have an actual living velociraptor to give them for free. It can baby sit their kids while they’re out watching a movie.
You know, no one’s made a point of this, but none of those movies feature any of the monstrous carnivorous insects of those times. The dragonflies were capable of chewing a human’s head about half off with one bite, likewise the massive centipedes that also had a deadly stinger, and then there’s the scorpions the size of a 3-man luge sled. Monster spiders and ticks the size of dinner plates, the Dinosaur Age was literally crawling with lots and lots of very nasty insects which is the real reason everything had armor plate for skin. Wouldn’t adding in all those bugs into the movies have made them a lot more fun?
