The REAL REASON Indominus REX was Such a MONSTER in Jurassic World 

Thank you for your videos, they are genuinely always awesome and make me happy, i love the Jurassic Universe 😊

I've never considered her to be a monster. She's actually a victim. They spliced together DNA from various animals which is going to have various drawbacks in doing that. They made a highly intelligent dinosaur, then experimented on it and kept it isolated, (not including her sibling.) That is going to make her develop serious mental issues. I also think she may have let Toro to because she may have sympathise with it since she had a similar background.

When the Indominus met the Carnotaurus, it tore down the fence because it believed in building bridges instead.

I think she was aware that humans locked her up, so she saw them as a threat. She saw Toro being held captive and wanted to set Toro free. For the herbivores, they were pretty much free to roam around, so there was maybe some type of envy. For the raptors, I think she wanted a family. And I think that as long as the T-rex did not attack her, she would not have attacked.

Makes me wonder what she would have been like if she had been raised like the raptors had

Even Owen said this during the indominus spreading chaos but nobody listened to him

I imagine a scene of her looking at her reflection and truly realizing what it's like to be alone

Another testimony to the Indominus Rexs' intelligence is that at some point during her rampage, she figured out that us humans always figured out where she was, and managed to pin the cause to be the tracker in her body somewhere. And she remembered where it was located in the midst of consuming her sibling.

To be fair if I was a dinosaur who had been kept in a cage for years I would probably do the same

I always thought the 'new attraction' thing was a front. An intelligent killing machine that could camouflage itself and mask itself from heat detection: that thing was designed to be a weapon!

I agree 200% with this I’ve always thought it in my head cannon that the Indy was mentally broken and not a monster by choice

In the movie, Owen Brady himself said the only bond she had was with the feeding crane. He also said that he doesn't control the raptors, it's about trust, so she didn't trust anybody since she was confined her whole life.

I never thought of her as a thoughtless killing machine. A terrorist at best, but not mindless. Her not killing Toro was certainly proof of that. The killing field with the Apatosaurus herd was, to me, her figuring things out since Owen said she didn't know where she stood in Jurassic Park/World's ecosystem. She never saw these dinosaurs before: she doesn't know what they're capable of. I'm under the impression Toro was kept alive because I-Rex wanted a mate, not really a companion, but someone she could do it with for biological reasons (kinda like tigers), but he was probably the closest thing to something familiar she ever saw. But he's male, not female, like the Raptor pack who are all girls. She likely regretted killing her sibling because once she was gone, I-rex realized she was all alone. She knew the crane wasn't alive and she saw humans as food. Toro and the Raptors are things she socially needs.

So in conclusion, the I,rex wasn't evil it was just mentally messed up and retaliated in a violent way right?

I have to say, I really like how you sometimes fumble for a second with a word, then quickly use the right word. To me it feel more natural than if you were to retake everything to make it "perfect." Add to the charm of your videos.

If I'm being completely honest, I really love how terrifying the Indominus Rex is! After all, many people, including myself, are huge fans of the hybrid dinosaur! If the Indominus Rex wasn't so terrifying, I'm pretty sure that not many people would be such huge fans of this incredible dinosaur! Shadows, my friend, absolutely epic video today! Loved it! Keep up the great work! You're the best! Edit: Can you please do a video about why the Scorpios Rex was attracted to fire?

The indominus rex is just a suffering animal, it never asked to be created and she is just trying to find her place in the food chain.

Most people think the indominus only kills for sport but it’s not even true 🙄

Being intelligent AND enjoying killing is a terrifying enough alone. The I-Rex is a real case of Nature vs Nurture. Being created from some of the most vicious dinosaurs, then use going through torturous experiments. My general idea of a "monster" is the chooses one makes. If we don't have to do something horrible, but do it anyway, enjoying the pain inflicted, that's a monster. I don't consider the I-Rex to be a monster for attacking people, because of how it was treated. But the scene where it attacked the other dinosaurs for no reason, those that haven't done anything to her, CHOOSING to kill them, that makes me think a bit.

i think shadows should do a video on the dark secrets of the spinoceratops

I have no idea why the Giganotosaurus was described as "the Joker" of the franchise when the Indo- hybrids existed...

I saw her as a victim from the get go, just made sense to me, but this is a great break down.

The Jurassic world scientist wanted a monster and they got what they wanted 😢

I believe every single dino from jurassic park and world is a victim instead of monster bcs they all have been treated the same, if i was treated the same i would be the same as the I-rex.

I love how all his other theories come in a video later on and makes the entire movie make sense

Under 1 hour, but I’ve been binge watching your videos because they’re giving me so much information about the series I’ve grown with and loved. Thank you shadows! Keep it up!

All really valid points. Maybe you should also cover the Indoraptor?.

Here's a theory maby the indominus had albinism I'm saying this due to her haveing both triats of the mutation white skin and red eyes

Remember the evolution videos you used to make? What music did you use for those?

This is another amazing video, Shadows. I like how you come up with these cool theories which make for great vids!

Hey Shadows plz make a video about the ceratosaurus from jp3 i would love to know the backstory and if it is the same one from jwcc (this was an awesome vid, keep it going!)

Yeah but real question why rexy let I rex to kill luckily blue came in clutch but was rexy tired

You gotta feel sorry for them, they were created in a world they weren’t meant to exist in, hence it’s monstrous behaviour.

I believe that the Indominus Rex killed her sibling more for learning where exactly the tracker was, and eating the remains was her way of getting rid of the evidence. It makes complete sense if you think of it that way, as for killing all those dinosaurs for "Sport", Most likely to trick her pursuers into thinking she is not as intelligent as she appears, this would throw them off of her true objective for a much longer time. We also are not sure whether her sibling volunteered to be killed willingly, History has shown that people and other animals will sacrifice themselves for their Family/pack/tribe/group.

Hey Shadows! I'm semi-new to your channel. I've been lurking around watching your videos, but until now I've remained silent. I really enjoy your videos, and the work you obviously put into them. I've learned alot about the JP/JW universe that I just didn't have any clue about. And I love alot of your theories about what is going on. I do have a question for you though. I just started seeing "trailers" for a fourth Jurassic World movie, some around six months old. My question is; do you know if there really is a fourth/seventh movie in the works? If there is, do you have any info about it yet? (One "trailer I watched said there would be a dragon! 😅) Thanks for your time, Shadows! 🐉🦕🦖

Wow im early and this will absolutely be a good watch and the indominous rex was very much something we still wonder about

Hello I’m new here and I must say, you made a lot of points here and I totally agree with all of them. Now try make a vid about the indorapter, that’s a three killing machine!

Amazing vid keep it up your the best 👌 😊❤

And this is why we listen to Ian Malcom

shadow i think your right about the indom but why would she kill her own sibling for like there has to be more to it tht they are not telling us about the indom because the Scorpios was well treated badly and was left but it did the same thing it killed the other dinos in the parck

Hello Shadows love your channel and you should do what happened to the indoraptors body or what happened to the Barryonx that got shut in the building.In fallen kingdom

I think Shadows is the literal best

Why DID the INDOMINUS REX REALLY Kill her SIBLING? See here ru-vid.com/group/PLw5JdjrQaWSHn6NT4D2OxxZ4DtVBLjahZ

Amazing video and what if the Indominus Rex inbred on someone when it’s hatched,just like the raptor did with Owen Grady in Jurassic World.

yo bro plz teel me how you think of these things must be a lot of effort but it always comes out amazing

*What do YOU think makes the INDOMINUS Such a MONSTER?*

Can you make a video on how one Baryonyx survived, because I saw one for a split second, or it could be a Suchomimus as mentioned in JP3 when they hear the roar

Now I wanna see a version of Jurassic World where we see into the I-Rex’s mind…either as an AU where all the characters are human (and the I-Rex is a Joker-like, serial killer character), or just retell the story from the I-Rex’s perspective

I wish they made a new jurassic movie with the black indominus

Hey man, gotta question if you dont mind answering. In jurrasic park 3 there was a teranandon dome and enclosures. Does that mean there was a park for people?

Monsters aren’t born they are made 😢

And I am very sorry for the indominus rex because it could have had a better life with her sibling 😔

Oh I'm on time!

From the beginning I thought it was obvious because the movie itself. I’m only going to touch on how absurd her escape was regardless of her intelligence. She had absolutely no way of knowing or understanding what technology such as infrared cameras or a tracking implant. She wouldn’t have had any way of comprehending the technology or existence of such things to trick. Not to mention how stupid the human characters were, going into the enclosure to confirm if the huge man eating predator is still in there or not. Or for going into panic mode and doing multiple stupid things instead of just waiting for the tracking device results to come back. That aside the movie told us that the Jurassic Park scientists abused her and made her killing tendencies worse. They heavily used genetic material from a pack hunter species yet only created two. They knew that she was going to grow very fast and reach fifty feet or more in length yet didn’t design a suitable enclosure. And they were negligent enough to allow her to kill her sibling without stopping her. Oh how I would have done things differently. Firstly I would have included DNA from a more docile, biddable species that has responded well to human training and obedience-perhaps taken the imprinting mechanism from birds or something. Imagine an I-Rex capable of love and affection like a dog. Secondly I would have made, say, three to live together with an additional two either preserved as eggs or cryogenically preserved as infants. Thirdly I would have designed a far bigger enclosure and make it physically impossible for the I-Rexes to leave. When we humans wanted to move them out of the enclosure to a new one once they were ready for public viewing we would either have to airlift them out or use specially designed cranes and harnesses for use after sedation. Preferably restraining harnesses so even if one or more wake up or somehow pretend to be asleep there’s still f-all they can do except wriggle around in their harness. And keep them harnessed even when placed in secure transport cage/restraints we’ve already seen used. Anyway the enclosure would be suitable for their size and lack sufficient foliage for them to be able to hide from sight of their human keepers. They have genes from a species capable of camouflage even if I don’t think they can use it. That aside the multitude of tranq guns mounted on the walls of the enclosure would need a clear line of sight at all times, manned 24/7 ready to sedate them at the first sign of trouble. No killing each other allowed. If possible there would likely have to be a separate “timeout area” to separate them if they start fighting or something. The only doors would either be human sized for veterinary staff or slightly larger for prey animals to be sent in as they’re going to want to hunt from time to time. My point is, things might have gone differently if the aggressive nature had been toned down or obedience enhanced, they were raised kindly by humans with full veterinary care and had proper social and psychological support.

Hi there

The indominus was a break dancer who hates sauropods and humans and hit the griddy on the dead sauropods

She looked to Shadows as a father figure and wanted to impress him.

Hi!

love you man please a heart and comment back

I have a video idea for you, the atrociraptor in Dominion is still alive because they got hit not killed

The Indominus was a tragic creature. She wasn't ever given a chance and the story alludes to it and even flashes back to why the original Jurassic Park Velociraptors were so aggressive. They were treated as monsters instead of animals, instead of being treated with respect and empathy she (and the first Velociraptors) were isolated and they became more and more crazy. If the Indominus had a few human anchors since it was a infant it would have became far, far, far more emotionally stable. I mean there's even achievements (and Wu's awe) if you make the Indominus Rex a docile, well adjusted animal in Jurassic World Evolution 1 and 2. The original was dealt a bad hand and by the time any attempt to correct could be made it was too late.

Hello

7:44 is me rn I never asked to be created

What if only reason for Indominus agresion was domination? When transported to new paddock irexes fought for alpha role and because of thier nature it ends in dead for one, carno and raptors was smaler and weaker that her so ther wasnt treath of her role in pack and she can comunicate with them thats why she dont attack them. When attacking other animals indominus try to learn her place in food chain. Outher question is why they make walls bigger if they knows how big iindominus may grows?

The giga is the best dino they've made in 30 years lol

I think ik why it canablized its sibling it has majungasaurus dna wich is a dinosaur known for being 1 of the first canables

I think that the reason is that the indominus rex didn’t kill the carnotaurs is because he has carno dna and saw him as an friend like the raptors

Indominus Rex is by far one of the scariest dinosaurs hybrid

I'm pretty sure the indominus kills anything that is dominant or threatening. It could also be a possibility it killed for fun as seen in the indoraptor. This is why it tries to get the more brutal kills and most painful. I would do this because of all the DNA and the testing that it had since it was younger, its DNA contained T-rex, Cobra, Giga and many other APEX dinos which might be why it killed anything in its territory. Also i believe the reason it didnt kill toro was because toro was submissive and wasnt much of a threat.

Animals show mental unwellness in zoos and an animal with propensity for aggression living in an abusive environment is gonna become the monster everyone sees them as. I mean look at the aggression dogs like pitbulls /develop/ when they are raised to fight.

Does anyone else like this guys voice lol.

What happened to the baby raptor that hatched Jurassic Park?

The I-rex was just a moody teen lol😂

Do a did delta survav

I just had a thought is the black in domino us rex the info raptor

Hi! I complettly agree, but because of that I don't even call the Indominus rex a monster. She more likely a victim for to the situations. Well tgat not help for the creatures wich died because of I-rex. But in my eyes the scientist, and the entire Jurassic world worker base is monster. Starting with Clare. Her careless ended up here. And is not kinda, but truely sad that they create that situation and what I-rex get? A trauma for her whole life (from the point of killing her sibling[ IF her realy killed and not stolen by Manthacorp]) because her sibling was the ONLY living creature around the Indominus. Then she fleed from humans (well... kinda fleeing) get shotted with rocket, get attacked by raptors, and Rexy was sended to kill her. And Indominus rex stand up for the quest. Due for thar the overload of her capables she get the Mosa from her back. The only undefended position. Undefended and out of her focus. And due the was too big succes, they same the exact same with Indoraptor, but now with proposes... They 2 and the Giga is only the victim of the Jurassic franchise...

I personally think that the indominus has a bit ( or a good chunk) of human dna. This would explain the prehensile thumbs and some of the superintelligence. Let me know what you guys think though.

it doesn’t kill the raptor squad because it was part raptor and tried to make them turn on owen

I’ve looked over live action toro but for some reason if I’m not looking hard enough he should have some burn marks from when the campers yeeted propane and a lighter at it or something but they did cause an explosion using propane which burnt toro turning him into KFC Edit: yep it’s burnt

So she's a broken villain

The real reason why the indominus rex was such a monster is because when she was a baby she didn't actually cannibalize her sister it was because she was mold poked experimented then she snapped so she accidentally killed her sister in the rampage so then she noticed what she did the only one she loved so she decided to get revenge in the name of her sister so she was going to kill all of the scientist and all of the humans in the name of the her sister

We always look at her a monster, not a intelegant animal...so tou right ı probably do the same thıng as indominus rex.and pls speak about stegoseratops ı raely curius about theur life in jw .

best youtuber ever pls pin me

👀😳😳👀

1 day ago 😮

Maybe it doesn’t kill the dinosaurs that make its genetic code the dna that is use to make it except the T. rex

The Indominus Rex actually was just a hypervor

I actually like the mention of these almost innumerous external stimuli like instincts, sensory information, and so on when the cinematic advertisement is this gal exclusively hunts for a sadistic, almost human level satisfaction of sport, "unlike" most animals. Mainly because in media, a lot of movie monsters really fall into two categories; A) It's an rabid man-eater that purely exists to cause the most damage possible, or B) It's an animal that's acting in the most rational way it can to this exact situation. When, in reality, and a lot like us, animals are elements of both. And I don't think it's out of the way to say it's about as limited as the belief that "Humans are the only animals that act against their own self interests." Animals, including us, do the best they can to work through life, but that doesn't mean a roach won't occasionally walk under someone's shoe or that a guy won't get hit by a car on the crosswalk. The simple fact is that, regardless of what organism, we're not capable of looking at ourselves from the third person to see every little thing that might happen to us. Instinct can get us pretty far, and a lot of times they're right, but they're definitely not perfect. At the end of the day, choices are made based on what feels right, even in those times it's wrong. P.S. this is mostly for myself for mental notes, but feel free to gain or ignore it. X]

When the I rex let toro loose, it wanted everyone to DIE

The indominus rex was intelligent but indo raptor was controlled by sound and laser light like a cat

someonecalled the Indominus rex, "Dinosaur Homelander". any comments?

Im 13th comment😁😁😃😃😀😀😄😄

why are there people still making videos on this almost nine years after the film's release. There is no actual reason the Indominus rex killed its sibling they only said that to make the Indominus rex sound scary that's all

wow

She killed for territory

Why does everyone keep saying that the T-Rex was scavenger we don't know that for sure? A predator that big in my eyes is a killing machine

Because of us the Jurassic park scientists. I’m not a Jurassic park scientist

indominos is a monster but a beatiful one

Bruh did you know how many dinosaurs and something in that dinosaurs half carno and half raptor

Bro first of all she use the Raptors to kil the soldiers doesn’t mean that she is gone let them life and that Carno just had luck that he survived
