Despite this not being the film we thought we were gonna get, I honestly had so much fun watching it. I can see this being really rewatchable and one of the better sequels. What do you think of Jurassic World Dominion?
That Dinosaur that "looks like a giant Dodo" is called Therizinosaurus. He and his kind are among the most ODDBALL of the Dinosaurs. Therizinosaurs are relatives of T-Rex and the Tyrannosaurs, but they've chosen to go plant-eater instead of meat-eater. The name Therizinosaurus means "Scythe Reptile" after those 28-inch claws on its hands, which were so huge that when they were first found, the first impression of them was that they were the ribs of some kind of giant TURTLE.
Yeah if I found those claws, I would never have imagined them as claws but as something else like ribs! Definitely oddball, but one I was most fascinated by
@Jermazar64 Yes it was. However, the lore around it confirms that it was actually using echolocation to navigate. This is the part that's kind of conjecture, because we don't really have any evidence that any Dinosaur was able to use that ability (although there are a couple of bird species alive today that do use echolocation).
@@ThreshmanEntertainment it's because it was Colin Trevorrow's original version that we were supposed to get in theaters, but Universal thought it would have been 20 minutes too long.
I enjoyed this movie especially on re-watches the dinosaurs are stunning & the OGs are back❤ Also Laura Dern looks so much like her mom(Diane Ladd)now❤
fun fact: The Mosasaurus (aka the underwater dinosaur) isn't actually a dinosaur, it's not even related to them. It is in fact a giant marine lizard essentially. Also, the one in the movie is at least 3 or 4 times bigger than the real animal would've been.
The "Dinosaur that almost attacked Alan, Ellie and Maisie" isn't a Dinosaur, it's called Dimetrodon and it's related to mammals. And it live long before Dinosaurs
since I like dinosaurs so much I know so much about them including what types I see.For example, the turkey looking dinosaur with long claws is a Therizinosaurus.
Giganotosaurus isn't any kind of hybrid or something like that, Lucinda. It's a real Dinosaur from Argentina, South America. It and Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park 3 are both bigger than T-Rex, but of the two, Giga in real life was the only predator that could TRULY challenge T-Rex for its throne as the Tyrant Reptile King. However, neither of them met, because they lived on different Americas and Giga lived about 25-30 million years BEFORE T-Rex. If they met however, they would actually be pretty evenly matched in a fight, but my vote would most likely go to T-Rex because he has a few key advantages over Giga. T-Rex's body is more robust, which means it can take far more punishment than Giga, T-Rex has a bigger brain than Giga, and T-Rex has a MUCH stronger bite than Giga, as well as much stronger teeth than Giga (Giga's teeth are more like steak knives, great for slicing and cutting, whereas T-Rex's teeth are more like railroad spikes, ideal for piercing through armor and breaking bones).
I thought it was a hybrid because we had never seen it before in the films and the JW films like creating their hybrids and I thought they made another one to rival the T-Rex. It was interesting to see the Giga and T-Rex go toe-to-toe though as they were the more similar dinosaurs to fight in this franchise. But now I truly know the T-Rex is the king of the dinosaurs
Hi! Enjoyed your reaction to every movie in this franchise. Since you asked a paleo-question, about Giganotosaurus being bigger than T.rex or not, I thought I might chip in and try to answer it to the best of my abilities. I'm no palaeontologist, but I have enough interest in the field that I might as well give this a shot. The first thing to remember is that size is a property of individuals, not species. Just think about how much height variation you see in humans, to make the most relatable example. Now, we are able to make somewhat firm generalisations about modern animals because we can use statistics to draw conclusions from populations that include thousands, millions, or sometimes (like humans) billions of individuals. We absolutely cannot do this with extinct species. We have maybe - IIRC - 27 Tyrannosaur skeletons, all of them partial (although some are very complete) and at different stages of their lifetime, spread over a time period of about two million years (68-66MYA). For Giganotosaurus, we have even less: two specimens, one of which is extremely fragmentary. For a while in the early 2000s there was a bit of a meme in paleoculture about Giganotosaurus being "the largest terrestrial carnivore ever" but thankfully the modern field is a lot warier of these grand sweeping statements. We simply cannot determine average population sizes from such small samples of partial skeletons. All we can say is that T.rex and Giganotosaurus, and a bunch of other predatory dinosaurs across the Mesozoic, grew to gigantic sizes that are about the same order of magnitude. Actually establishing which one is longer by one metre or whatever is frankly both impossible and pointless. Another thing that people frequently get wrong is that they obsess over linear measures to a degree that I find extremely bizarre. E.G. how long or how tall is X giant carnivore. But length and height can be misleading, especially in theropod dinosaurs, where the neck and tail combined represent a good chunk of overall body length. When we look at size in modern animals we tend to focus on mass, because that is the only measure that actually tells you "how much of the animal" is there. To make a very obvious example, a giraffe is taller than an elephant, but is it bigger? Not in terms of mass. The problem is that estimating the mass of an extinct animal is very difficult. Different models, built on different assumptions, will yield different results. Again it is safest to say that there are a few species of giant theropods, including T.rex and Giganotosaurus, that were broadly in the same order of magnitude when it comes to body mass. Having said that, of the fossils we do have, the one that shows the most extreme skeletal adaptations and signs of a very large body mass is Sue, a very old (28yo) Tyrannosaurus. Purely based on this, as well as the fact that Tyrannosaurus had specific adaptations to a lifestyle that selected for bulkiness (having to feed on armoured herbivores) might well have been the biggest in terms of body mass. But note that this is a MASSIVE "might" and moreover it is only limited to the fossils we've already found, which are certain to be a very incomplete record. To close on a note more related to the franchise, I personally hate how much of a trope the franchise has made of two giant carnivores seeing one another and immediately becoming murderous/omnicidal, as if lions and crocodiles (to name one modern-day example) didn't coexist in Africa today without engaging in fights to the death the literal moment they come into contact.This fixation with the biggest, baddest predator is imho very juvenile and makes the dinosaurs in the movie look even more like monsters rather than animals. So their insistence on "hyping up" Giganotosaurus (and butchering its looks by designing it as a bootleg Godzilla, imho) was disappointing and yet totally expected. As if the one and only cool thing you can think to mention about such a beautiful animal is its size relative to Tyrannosaurus... Ok, rant over. Hopefully it's the answer you were looking for!
Thanks for the info! I was just curious because the t-Rex is always shown as kind of the “it” dinosaur in these films and then the Giganotosaurus (which exists naturally, not genetically modified like the villain ones in the other two Jurassic world films) shows up in this one, and they make it seem like it’s better than the t-Rex. Also, I understand why you’re annoyed about this one portraying the two big dinosaurs immediately fighting each other, making them more like monsters than animals. That’s why I really liked the magic feel of the first Jurassic park film because it shows the dinosaurs as these mystical animals at first before they then became these murderous creatures
@@JustLucinda In Doylist terms, the franchise first tried to establish (a highly speculative and fictionalised version of) Spinosaurus as the big bad, so they had it kill a T.rex in JPIII. This was poorly received by fans and generally started the horrible trend of people rooting for this or that theropod as "the best apex predator" like it's a football team. Then, in subsequent movies, they course-corrected by having Rexy (the original Tyrannosaurus from the first movie) become the anti hero of the franchise. She saved humans in the first movie, so now she ends up doing it again and again - first with the Indominus, then the Giga. Because of what I think is a very superficial understanding of drama, if they want to have T.rex as an anti hero, they feel the need to raise the stakes by hyping up the villain. Then the villain has to beat Rexy within an inch of her life... So you can then have the heroic "comeback kid" moment where the day is saved, Rexy gives a triumphant roar, and we all get to go home. Yeah... You can tell how cringy this is by doing this mental exercise: replace Giga and T.rex in the movie with a lion and a tiger, and tell me if it's a good look. What would you think of a movie that portrays big cats like that? I have my own ideas from how the franchise could be saved by these doldrums, but I'm sure future movies will continue this derivative trend. By the way, I don't know if you take suggestions, but I would LOVE for you to react to Prehistoric Planet. It's a 2022 five-part dinosaur documentary with David Attenborough and the Planet Earth team, with CGI that blows even Hollywood out of the water, and very scientifically informed dinosaurs. IMHO it has set the new standard for modern dinosaur iconography, and in general the show is a great watch.
@@gianmarcomarzo7327 I will probably watch Prehistoric Planet as I love David Attenborough, and I might have even caught some of it on tv before because I feel like it rings a bell. But I probably won’t react to it as I like to watch stuff like that more relaxed and for myself
@@JustLucinda Fun fact, those three were raised together on Site B. Site B was the testing area, basically the place where they try to make the dinos, see what they needed to eat, stuff like that. Site A, Jurassic Park, had room for one T-Rex, so they took Rexy from Buck and Doe and placed her there. So Rexy has been separated from her family for 25 years, surviving the first Jurassic park incident, Jurassic World and the Indominus, the volcanic eruption and three years on the mainland. Collin Trevorrow actually confirmed that Rexy is very, VERY close to her death bed, so seeing her reunite with her old family after so many years of isolation is beautiful.
@@partyleswine5155 that is so sweet. That after all that she was finally reunited with her family. It would be sad to see a new Jurassic film without her
I hate the design of the Giga, i know Rexy is old but in every movie they make her losing only to get a big comeback. i like that they finally show a bit that Herbivoren are not nice and friendly. Dilophosaurus was much bigger and looked differnt and its not clear that it spit venom. I live for Kayla Watts. Its only a movie in the end, it was not the best but it was okay.
the movie very wrong wrong colin trevow shit, the largest giganotosaurus in the world yes true of the south america discovered is the giant of the south that there I do not like death giga that pain because it is I am South America I support you gigas, discrimination of the giga no no, BIGGEST GIGA q Tyrannosaurus minor humble not major, that's why there is no respect from South America is the biggest giga really WORLD

Despite what the movies say,a t-rex was actually larger then Gigantosaurus
I love it 🥰. You should also watch Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous on Netflix. It’s part of the timeline and very good.
@@brandonerdman4160 and heavier, the Tyrannosaurus was a Evolution Power Apex Predator. Thats the same with the Spino, its longer not bigger.

The 160 minute cut of the movie is even better with an opening prologue that premiered back in November on NBC
Ooh I’ll have to watch the extended version
Yea I just watched the extended cut yesterday and I think it's definitely the better cut. Idk why they cut out some of the parts that they did
@@ThreshmanEntertainment it's because it was Colin Trevorrow's original version that we were supposed to get in theaters, but Universal thought it would have been 20 minutes too long.
The red feathered Dinosaur that could swim under the ice is Pyroraptor. He's a relative of Velociraptor that lived in France.
And also in Northern Spain
The one that you asked at "What Dinosaur are you?" is called Lystrosaurus and it's not a Dinosaur, it lived before 1st Dinosaurs appeared on Earth
I enjoyed this movie especially on re-watches the dinosaurs are stunning & the OGs are back❤ Also Laura Dern looks so much like her mom(Diane Ladd)now❤
I loved seeing the OGs again
I'm so glad you got to watch Jurassic World: Dominion! You should watch the extended cut... it's better in my opinion.
I’ll definitely be checking the extended cut out!
@@JustLucinda Please make a reaction video for it. I want to see you react.

Thank you 🙏🏽 that was what let me cringe a bit in the movie and the comments

since I like dinosaurs so much I know so much about them including what types I see.For example, the turkey looking dinosaur with long claws is a Therizinosaurus.
Dodgson in Dominion is the same Dodgson in the original JP who gave Dennis Nedry the Barbasol can to get the Dinosaur DNA
That name sounded familiar but I never put two and two together, even when I saw the canister, I never placed it with the same Dodgson
It’s rumored that this was supposed to be a 2 part movie but unfortunately it didn’t happen 😪
I just realized that the blind dinosaur is a Doyouthinkhesawus reference. 🤔
giganotosaurus was a real dinosaur. it lived in mid-late cretaceous South America.

It’s stated that the biosyn valley holds 50 different species but only 30 were confirmed in the valley while the other species are unknown
Here is how I've ranked the six films...

2nd - #JurassicWorldFallenKingdom
3rd - #JurassicWorldDominion
