The Untold Horrors of Jurassic Park: A compilation of videos about the horrifying creatures and scenes within the Jurassic Franchise. Check out the new merch: www.jaekeldesigns.com/clothin... Hope you enjoy!
as dr wu said, "Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different." he also said, " Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat."
I love/hate how World stated that none of the dinosaurs are accurate dinosaurs because one, it shuts up all the people who constantly complain that the dinosaurs aren't accurate, but if those people had just paid attention to the first movie they would've known that already.
@@markwilson4686 yes, but there was also that one theory that that is what they look like in that universe, remember the velociraptor fossil from the first film? that was clearly not the size of an IRL one
@@waffletop1018 true that is a good point and something I never considered when watching the movie. It just always annoys me though when people feel the need to point out the obvious. Like they're trying to do some weird flex of knowledge but at the same time they display their lack of knowledge for the movie. That is an interesting theory though.
The original jp book is pretty much about how science can get incredibly dangerous when massive corporate interests take over... Something we apparently didn't learn from
I personally never understood the idea of sending in a military team to save anything of value on an island of genetically enhanced sadistic dinosaurs. You don’t send a team in, that island is nothing but death! So you wipe it off the face of the earth with fire, be it incindiaries or a nuke! When something like that happens, the military should take NO chances! All the research become null and void when the animals get free. It’s a waste yes, but a better responce then boots on the ground in an unfamiliar environment against science creatures. And also the company gets shut down for that level of incompetence and threat to human life.
It's extremely refreshing to see someone who loves dinosaurs and also acknowledges that Jurassic Park was NEVER intended to be realistic. It does not intend to portray dinosaurs as dinosaurs, they are made to be _monsters_.
Which is why I'm baffled as to why there's actual scientists who STILL wanna bring the dinosaurs back, WE HAVE LIKE 6 MOVIES AND GOD KNOWS HOW MANY BOOKS ABOUT WHY THAT'S A BAD IDEA
@@benadrylcucumbersnatch9401 which would you rather rob? A house with a k9. A house with a raptor as a guard. Sure you say it’s a bad idea now, but if someone robs you… you rather clean up meal time than deal with all the paper work. It really sucks being stuck in Vietnam of house defenses. ‘Oh hey why are your windows made to shatter so easily’ So whoever breaks in breaths in the glass shards. ‘Oh why do you have the safe being so heavy’ So when they bring it to the hollow point in the room the floor will fall through with them carrying such a heavy item. ‘Why do you have all the knobs, tiles, and so on set to an electric switch?’ The floor is Tasers is a lot cheaper than the floor is lava. Why do you have a fish tank of sea urchins? If I had a basket of knifes people would be wary, but nobody suspects being stabbed by a fish! Pocket urchin, go!
@@benadrylcucumbersnatch9401 if you saw a house with a K9, that is a issue of if it’s friendly enough to rob the house or not. If you saw a house with a. raptor as a guard dog- nothing would convince you to rob the house. Home defense is the best defense. Don’t leave your home undefended! Home is where the heart is!
The weird thing is that the JP movie's inaccuracies lean towards the awesomebro angle (Making the dinos into killing machines that only fight), the book's inaccuracies lean towards the dinosaurs being sci-fi horrors that are borderline alien.
The beautiful thing is that Critchton write an in-world explanation for the inevitable inaccuracies that would come up. And at the end of the day, the never made dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, just modern day chimeras.
Personally, I prefer the novel dinos over their novie counterparts. If you're gonna genetically modify a dinosaur with no regard for accuracy, at least make it scary and unique. Idk why, but the films seem to think extra spikes and horns are scary, when in reality those are easily the laziest things you can add to a dinosaur design.
@@Bagelgeuse That's the way hollywood works. TBH you arn't allowed to release a movie that is of 18certificate anymore, it has to appeal to EVERYONE, and in appealing to everyone ((which tbh is just code for vocal minority that can't handle anything and would shutdown if an actual tough situation arose)) it appeals to no one.... except middle aged women who complained at dinosaur documentarys to the point "we are changing the look of the dinosaurs to be more soft!" . Modern day my man, its a hell hole.
i think you mean jurassic world does that. at least the first two movies has the creatures acting like animals.... which is why i prefer it over the book. while they made the dinos in the book horrific genetic mutants, in the movie they made them misplaced animals which is a far more interesting angle. The scene with the trex between, i find the movie FAr more horrifying, cause it feels more 'real' in comparison. like a predator examining its environment and behaving once it believes it found itself food. The way it flips over the jeep works so well. Its basically thinking it found an easy meal and flipped it over to get at its 'soft underbelly' and the creatures show confusion when its being met with so much resistance.
For those who wanna know Nedry was blinded by the dilophosaurus that ripped him open In his last moments, he felt pain in his chest and touched it to feel blood and his guts and organs spilling as he screamed. The dilophosaurus then ate the organs and proceeded to eat our of nedry's dead, mutilated body.
Ayo, talking about Nedry's death? Yeah, that scene was brutal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MyyHEVmn8bE.html Here, illustrated and narrated.
Another thing to note is that the Jurassic Park franchise was eventually going to have dinosaur-human hybrids, in fact some of the concept art can still be found online, and the Scorpious Rex might have been created from said concept art...
I think I also heard theories of the Indoraptor having human DNA because of that one scene in which the dinosaur smiled while pretending to be knocked out.
The scariest part in the novel for me is when Gennaro sees the Compy's feeding on Nedrys body and remarks about their five-fingered hands and human-like way of wiping blood from their faces, and before he can continue his thoughts he's interrupted by Muldoon. It scares me in some unfathomable way I can't describe. The book is a horror delight though.
That's the uncanny valley. Its disturbing that something so human is seen in an animal who is a so far removed from ourselves. Its why people feel uncomfortable when predators look into your eyes
3:30: "An for some reason, another Raptor stole his candy bar." This is actually extremely important for later in the novel. It's why the Raptors attack the high hide, Eddie is killed, and everything starts going to sh*t for Malcolm's group. Earlier in the novel, before Malcolm and his group witness King being killed by the Raptors near the river, there is a scene with Levine and Arby eating candy bars in the high hide. While the group discuss the herbivores drinking from the river, Arby folds his wrapper and puts it in his pocket, while Levine recklessly throws his wrapper away, and it falls down near the base of the structure. Even though he is supposed to be a scientist and Malcolm has already lectured everyone on not disturbing the environment around them, nobody calls him out on littering, Malcolm just rolls his eyes at Levine continuing to be a douchebag. Not long after, when the raptors kill King and start eating his body, the raptor that stole the candy bar takes it away from the other raptors to enjoy by itself. It is described as enjoying the candy bar, and Levine seems to both find this amusing and concerning, but he can't put his finger on why. Later in the novel, after the T-Rex attack on the trailer, Levine, Eddie and the kids, Arby and Kelly, celebrate Thorne rescuing Malcolm and Sarah. Meanwhile, the raptors have moved away from the river looking for shelter from the storm further inland, approaching the high hide. The group go silent, and a few raptors bump into the support beams of the structure, but just consider it to be a tree or something in the jungle, and keep moving past. The kids start crying and Eddie comforts them while Levine watches through his night vision goggles. Suddenly however, the Raptor who ate Kings candy bar earlier stops, and starts sniffing around the base of the high hide. Moments later, Levine watches in horror as it raises its head, holding Levine's discarded candy bar wrapper in its claws. The Raptor sniffs the wrapper again, and looks up, directly at Levine, locking eyes with him, before it roars and starts trying to climb the high hide to reach its prey. The first Raptor starts trying to climb, but it falls and hisses in frustration. Its interest in the structure causes the rest of the pack to double back, and soon there are a pack of Raptors trying to climb the high hide. Levine notices that even though they keep slipping off the steel beams in the rain, they are learning, and each attempt brings them closer to reaching the top. He realises his actions have basically doomed everyone in the high hide to death, and freezes up in terror. This is when Eddie, who is like 24 in the novel, goes full hero mode. He pulls up one of the steel beams from the floor of the high hide, and starts swinging at Raptors who get to the top. As he is doing this, Eddie lifts Kelly up to climb on the roof to keep her safe. He goes to lift Arby, but another raptor nears the top. Eddie swings at it but misses, and the Raptor snaps at his neck, latching onto his shirt. Levine comes back to reality, and helps Eddie from falling. Eddie beats the raptor around the head till it lets go and falls back to the ground. Eddie then tells Levine to help Arby, and as Levine lifts him, another raptor grabs Eddie's weapon in its jaws, and pulls him out of the high hide, to the ground below and to his death. Levine freezes up in terror again and drops Arby, who kicks Levine in the face as he is falling. Kelly is now screaming on top of the high hide, and Levine is distraught that he caused two deaths, one being a teenager who admired him. Luckily for Arby, Eddie's body distracts the Raptors long enough that he is able to lock himself in the bear cage at the bottom of the high hide. He is unable to get the key out from the lock however, and a Raptor ends up with the key stuck around its neck. When Sarah and Thorne arrive, the raptors flee with Eddie's body, and tear the bear cage from the structure taking Arby with them as well, as described in the video.
Everyone passes off Compys as “tiny useless dinosaurs.” But their not. And the novels are messed up, because of the compys. Killing hammond, and killing a NEWBORN CHILD, thats just messed up.
@@antman9527 Its based on What the dinosaurs would do in the real world, they eat what they get. New born children, adults, animals, it’s their circle of life.
One scene I wish was kept in or adapted for the movies was from the first book. Basically on the tour when the characters go to the raptor enclosure, the raptors try to flank them and jump over the fences or break them and get electrocuted. With one distracting Grant and the other two flanking. It was an attempted hunt/escape, and after it Ian Malcolm asks Grant if they were trying to hunt them. After Grant confirms it, Ian pointed out that he’s heard modern predators like lions and tigers aren’t born man-eaters, that they learn down the line that they’re easy prey. And so he points out that because of how much of a time difference there is between man and dinosaurs, that they’d be even more reluctant to hunt humans. It raises the question of what made the raptors realize humans are easy prey, coupled with the dying teen in the beginning of the book, it paints a horrifying picture and how Jurassic Park was doomed even before Grant and the other began the inspection.
Agreed. They really should have kept that scene. But instead Spielberg decided to replace all that intelligent dialogue with childish nonsense like Grant magically knowing in advance that the Rex can't see you if you don't move - before he even hears about the park.
@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 Bro . . . Grant was a paleontologist. He didn't just dig up dinosaur bones, he studied them and speculated on behavior and physiology just like any other paleontologist. It was commonly accepted knowledge at the time that T-Rexes vision was based on movement. So of course he'd know that. That's was some magical bullshit.
@@Jaimyoutubing Bro, nothing in the fossil record indicates T-Rex had poor visual acuity. If anything, the recent studies indicate the Tyrannosaurus had exceptional vision and smell.
It's like a weird reverse-Frankenstein thing where it's a pipeline of "Oh the dinosaurs are monsters" to "Oh Hammond is the real monster" to "Oh wait no they're both monsters in different ways"
@Benadryl Cucumbersnatch the novel implies the viciousness of the dinosaurs could be the way Hammond had them raised. They had no parents to learn from so they run on pure instinct
@@Bowiiihowdy Makes sense, honestly. I had a cat that was taken from her mother way too young, and as a result, she never learned "cat etiquette" basically, and while a normal cat would hiss or slap their paw to communicate annoyance, she would just go straight to hard biting or scratching if she thought you pet her too long, or in the wrong way. Makes sense that a dinosaur raised without parents would also never learn not to just immediately attack whatever they're curious or unsure about.
I used Jurrassic Park as a primary source for my undergrad thesis on horror, specifically the differences and similarities between gothic and cosmic horror, and I used Jurrassic Park as a bit of a transition point between the two. I compared it to Frankenstein in terms of messaging, and as an example of science fiction being something of a reflection of what speculative science was at the time of the novel’s writing. Sometimes I look back on it and feel kinda silly using a Steven Spielberg blockbuster next to Mary Shelley’s haunting novel about humanity and why you shouldn’t play God… and then I’m reminded of how horrifying the novel is, and I feel justified in my decision to include it. Got a pretty good grade on that paper, by the way. Edit: don’t blame the Raptors for being afraid of Troodons. Those fuckers can time travel and drive trains.
The way hammond died in the books was actually referenced in camp cretaceous, three of the main characters (yasmina,kenji,and Darrius) in one episode(don't remember what season that episode is in) encounter the old jurassic park hotel building,yasmina says hammond broke his leg and was eaten by compies(his death in the books) Darrius then corrects her and says hammond died of old age(his movie death).
Yeah, I like the Jurassic Park movies, but they tended to be more thrillers than horror films. A more terror-focused adaptation that showed exactly why dinosaurs should've been left in the past would be great.
I mean they probably made the movies more adventure than horror probably cause of the technology at the time. Imagine doing an underwater T Rex scene with an animatronic or the T Rex grabbing the Jeep in its Jaws and throwing it
Someone who is a big fan of Spielberg's War of the Worlds made a directly inspired fan game focused on survival. What I'm trying to get at is perhaps someone can make a game that recreates the book set in survival. I've seen Anthomnia's The Isle videos here on RU-vid that showcases the horrific Hypo variants and the bone-chilling Nero Spino and Nero Carno- all of which never made it in-game.
The novel Rex was absolutely malicious. Tim said he felt bad when the rex bit its tongue off after the tranqs kicked in, saying it was just behaving as an animal. Like, no, Tim, that thing chased you across the island despite having food, that thing was chasing you out of pure malice.
Yeah! You don’t feel bad for a Xenomorph that you just introduced it to jet fuel and fire! You regard it as a predator and that you reassured your status as the superior.
Sorna in the films and books is a nightmarish horror.In the books, the island is full of dinosaurs, including pack of raptors, a pair of tyrannosaurs, and those unnatural carnotauruses.The raptors are unnaturally aggressive, even to each other, scaring Malcolm who remembers how different they were on Nublar.There’s very few adults or mature animals, and wierd piles of corpses everywhere.Then they learn at the end Sorna was infected by a horrible DX virus from using sheep meat to feed the carnivores, which Hammond covered up and so had been spread to all the animals by the predators and compies, resulting in the island having too many dinosaurs but few adults, a high die off rate and unnaturally aggressive animals, and so all the islands dinosaurs would be nothing but corpses eventually. In the films, it’s WORSE.First, the island is gigantic, so big it makes Nublar look tiny.Second, the island was abandoned after the storm of 1990, resulting in mass chaos and panic as all the workers had to flee, while the dinosaurs escaped, so it stands to reason a fair few workers died at the hands of predators.The island has so many dinosaurs, including 6 Tyrannosaurs, two packs of raptors, Baryonyxes, Carnotaurs, and more.The only way off the island is by using the main centres communications, which are surrounded by a huge patch of grass full of the tiger striped raptors who are extremely aggressive and in large numbers.There is a pterosaur aviary, with strange mutant ones not mentioned as existing by Hammond or on Ingens list but already very old and rusted, with human bones and skulls in their nests despite no one going near it or opening it since presumably 1990.By 1996 and 2001, something is able to attack and kill people who sail or travel on boat near the island, something that can swim or fly even because of what happened in third films opening and in second where the ferry man said people don’t like to take boats near it less they dissapear.The dinosaurs are not afraid of people and the island is far more wild then Nublar, with so much jungle and wild space that you have no real way of getting to safety, even the few buildings left are in disrepair and covered slowly by the plants.In 1999 Ingen obviously went back and cloned more, creating new monstrosities including: -A murderous extremely aggressive Spinosaur that kills tyrannosaurs and is even referred to as a mistake, and a mutant, that relentlessly tracks down humans. -A pack of hyper intelligent raptors who are so intelligent they use a guy as bait to lure them down and communicate extensively to the point Alan is amazed how smart these ones are. -A ceratosaur that is the size of a small tyrannosaur. It’s a island of death.
For me, ironically the smaller ones are the most terrifying to me, with the Troodons being top 1 since "Jurrassic Park: The Game". Glowing, dead eyes as nightvision googles, incredibly intelligent, hunts at night and with a venomous bite? Imagine walking in pure darkness through the forest and suddenly you see several white eyes lighting up infront of you. Little old me was scared shitless as a child whenever I encountered them.
Seriously. That was my biggest issue with Fallen Kingdom. You made a genetically enhanced, military grade dinosaur, who can smell prey miles away and has basically built in NVG's and turning out the LIGHTS allowed the main characters to sneak around?
That dilo scene in the book was brutal. I remember I was a kid when I read the book and in English class I had to write a story and I wrote something that wasnt a rip off but drew heavily from how dark the tone of that scene was...I earned myself a call to my parents and a meeting at school lol
Bro, I would love it if Genndy Tartakovsky did a faithful adaptation of the original Jurassic Park. Knowing what an amazing job he did with Primal, I'm sure he could pull it off somehow.
Have to disagree honestly. The novel is scary but in a very, very, very generic' scifi mutants' sorta way. Basically the old angle of 'making genetic abominations that are monsters'. Ironcially more akin to jurassic world's depiction. And people heavily critcize those movies. When it comes to the jurassic park original movie, even the second one, the horror is more unique cause it feels more 'real' in a sense. The trex is a chimera yes, but it is still an animal and behaves as like an animal. The sheer tension cause you don't know what the creature is going to do, much like an animal you are unfamiliar with. Every action it performs is that of a craeture examining its environment. Even the flipping of the jeep its simply the creature thinking it found an easy meal and trying to get at what it thinks is the underbelly. By instinct it would know that the underbelly would be soft and more easly torn open. Even in the second movie, with all tis flaws, still treats the dinos as animals. The ending with the trex on the loose, it first seeks out water cause its thirsty, and it only attacked people out of hunger and or confusion. that is what sets the movies apart from the book. The horror is that of misplaced animals, not genetic abominations... even genetic abominations would be animals.
An underrated scene from The Lost World novel is when Malcolm, Dr. Thorne & Eddie Carr are searching around an abandoned InGen laboratory after arriving in their Ford Explorer SUV. They're outside a loading bay that has been damaged to the point it's almost fully exposed. As the three are poking around, They get a radio message from Arby (a character who's friends with Kelly in the trailer in the book, but isn't in the film) frantically telling them to *immediately* get in the car. They're furious at first since Arby was not at all supposed to be on the expedition with them, but after Arby says "It's almost there! Get in!". Eddie checks the video monitor in the Explorer that shows a video feed of the surrounding area that Arby is seeing too, and see a Tyrannosaurus walking up the game trail towards them. The men climb hurriedly in, and hear the earth begin to shake. The car sways from side to side, and Malcolm is frozen pale in fear. The beast the size of a 2-storey building enters stage right, lumbering across the small clearing; not stopping. But as the Rex is about to pass them, the tip of its tail hits the hood of the Explorer, and it *turns around.* The next few minutes are the purest distillation of terror as the trio sit in silence, praying to God the Rex doesn't decide to attack the car. It eventually moves on after ascertaining the Explorer isn't a threat, but my god I can't imagine the pure fear of being trapped in there whilst a 10-tonne carnivore is eyeing you up.
..... yea more i think about it the more i like the movies. a severed hand being flung around is one thing. it is a piece of the animal that the raptor can pick up and carry with ease, vs carrying a rounded human skull.
@@taddad2641 It's not that hard to pick up a skull though. Hell, considering his head was just severed, the raptor can grab it by any remaining vertebrae.
You know, if Resident Evil had people this passionate of knowing all the monsters and storylines of the games, I think they would be a franchise by now. Great series!
THIS is what I wanted, I always hated that they tried to make Jurassic Park family friendly then have a bunch of deaths in it, this fits it so much better
@@esdrassousa9730 its pure in that it is devoid of delusion and ego. and it is harmonious cause its a cycle that is sustaining itself. life and death, an eternal struggle and dance. a cruel end for one thing, is life for several others. Even something like a baby animal dying, will either be consumed and continue the life of its killer, be fed to the young of said killer, or became food for a new generation of plants. energy taking one form after another. life is taken, life is given. beauty and horror.
Nah man, the book was just generic scifi honestly. Everything in that was a monster, not an animal. Its why jurassic park, especially the first one, is beloved and the newer ones more derided, cause the horror hits at a more naturalistic aspect in your brain, cause the creatures behave like animals, chimeric creatures or not. An animal doesn't randomly throw around trucks, it examines its evironment for anything of interest or potential food. Its why the trex scene is soooo tense. A part of your brain is activating that remebers days ancient, where man huddled together to stave off the cold, and crouched in bushes as giant beasts roamed past, terrified yet alert. A truer fear, not cause the Trex is an ungodly abomination, but because it is a predator on the prowl.
As a fan of the novel and the films, I think the "velociraptors" were deliberately misnamed by Crichton, they explain the naming process in the novel as basically guess work once the animal hatches based on where the dna sample came from. The ONLY reason the raptors are named Velociraptor Mongoliensis is because they looked like little raptors at hatching and their dna came from mongolia. Crichton researched a lot, and would have known that species was just a lil murder turkey. It was one of the many mistakes that showed the ignorance of the Park, like the dumb animal counting system they had in place
ah yes, the countign system that STOPPED COUNTING WHEN IT HIT EXPECTED NUMBER OF ANIMALS. Then Malcom starts putting in higher and higher numbers and it keeps finding MORE
At the time the book was written, there was serious consideration given to the idea that the species Deinonychus antirrhopis (a much larger Dromeaosuarid closely related to V. mongoliensis) should actually be placed in the Velociraptor genus. They weren't quite as big as the film's "Velociraptors", but they were definitely large enough to fit into their role in the novel. Most likely, Crichton had heard that Deinonychus was actually just another species of Velociraptor, and just decided to go with it.
I think another thing thats dangerous about these dinosaurs is that they're way too intelligent, they learn as they fight, eat, and immediately learn where they fit in the food chain
I wonder if that's due to the way they where created or where the dinosaurs naturally this intelligent and we just underestimated them due to not having anything to base them off
The raptors were terrifying because they were incredibly intelligent and incredibly brutal and also did some things humans do, for example they ate one of the baby raptors alive and another time they used the back of they’re arms to wipe they’re mouths (like humans after eating)
When I was a toddler I used to be afraid of the jurrasic park movies, but now I absolutely love them. Hearing how different the books are from the movies makes me wish the movies were more adapted to the books. It wouldn't seem like a action suspense movie but Instead a chilling sci-fi horror that would give even adults nightmares.
I remember screaming and crying when the dilo roared at nedry, proceeded to describe it as "a roar that will knock your socks off!" To my father and then fake yelled the second time we watched the movie to counter the fear I was feeling.
@@Betweentheraindrops8 I love the original 3. I'm bias to JP3 cause Spino is my favorite dino lol. But JW was good. Fallen Kingdom was mid. Dominion was a complete disgrace if you ask me
@@WizardAnimations Hey, JP3 also my guilty pleasure, there are still merit in that movie, Spino design free from the ever changing Spino reconstructions which would come much later made it stands out to this day, & I like bird of prey raptors design, with round iris (instead of usual slits ones) & quills. They're still movie monsters, but they also throw Paleontologist a bone (heh) with this choice. It gives the impression that they slowly revert to their natural form, not unlike how released domestic pigs would start grows fur and looks like boar. But yeah, I would prefer stuff like blind, almost Xenomorph-esque Troodon, venomous frilled Dilophosaur, & chameleon Carnotaurs, stuff that makes these dinos doesn't quite right, still familiar but alien at the same time, over alienate viewer entirely by introducing fictional species dumping it with powerups.
One key ability that the Indoraptor had that none of the other creatures ever had, whether they'd be the dinos or the other hybrids (JP dinos all are hybrids anyway) and it was the ability to smile/smirk.
I was watching casual geographic's Halloween special where he talks about the USS Indianapolis and the male lions of the lunatic express he talks about modern things but you add the prehistoric part of creepy and horrific attacks!
With the hybrids Henry wu made, we are actually quite lucky. Wu had the power to create new species of dinosaurs. Most of his hybrids were different to each other in every way but one. Each of his hybrids were shown to be incredibly sadistic creatures. Take the endo raptor, he could have killed a small defenceless child, but instead it chose to take its time. You are probably wondering why I said that we are quite lucky. I said that because we are lucky his hybrids couldn’t speak. This series would turn into a horror series if his hybrids could speak English. With the way the hybrids were going his next hybrid could have had greater intelligence than a human.
I think this is a lesson as to not bring back these killing machines, maybe something small and herbivorous and yes I know JP isn't real but am I wrong? Would you rather get a small bruise from an herbivore that's as big as a dog, or an raptor pack hunting and eating you?
Herbivores would still be incredibly dangerous and likely even more aggressive than carnivores. Many herbivores view everything as a threat (including humans) and will stomp/impale/bludgeon/stampede first and ask questions later
*stares into the distance* The FIRST proof of concept that Ingen created in the books was a wooly mammoth around the size of a dog, meant to be a pet. They had to put it down due to being more aggressive than a feral Chihuahua.
You should talk about ARK's creatures sometimes (mainly the fictional ones)! When most peple hear "ARK: Survivl Evolved" they think of dinosaurs, but in reality ARK is a sci-fi game featuring dinosaurs. The creatures you should really talk about are the Rock Drakes (big feathered chinese dragon inspired by the predator that lives in caves), Shadowmanes ("Part lion and part spiny tropical fish!"), the Maewing (the result of a sugar glider and platypus love story), the Reapers (that one "Xenosaurus rex" drawing but slightly more original) and the astrocetaceans (Astrocetus the big space whale and Astrodelphis the smaller but still kinda big space beluga/porpoise/dolphin that has a saddle which turns it into a space fighter jet).
Y'know the JP books make me think how much more insane the series could've gotten if it went the way of the Dino Crisis dinos. Yes, even the DC3 dinosaurs, they were cool and you are lying to yourself if you think otherwise.
I have no idea what you're talking about. There isn't a Dino Crisis 3. CAPCOM only made the two and that was it. It's a joke fyi, I understand it's very hard to insinuate it over text which is why I'm adding this bit.
@@alexkogan9755Right? While it was strange it was strange in a good way, it tapped into the sci-fi aspect of Speculative Evolution by putting it in the hands of insane scientists.
I grew up loving dinosaurs (and kaiju but that’s a point for another time.) I was born in 1997 and it wasn’t until I went to rehab when I was in highschool I was looking through the library and found a mangled copy of the og jurassic park book and man. That book was so good. It really put into perspective how much is cut out of a good book to make a movie. Truly eye opening.
I was actually disappointed at the movie, and the book was the reason. I had read it a few weeks before the movie came out. They omitted so much, and made it an entire different thing. Not even the effects were able to take my mind of it. And back then I liked these things.
A lot of folks do die in the novel, like Regis, Hammond, Malcolm, Wu, Arnold, etc. But some of the deaths are swapped. Gennaro's death in the film was supposed to be for Regis (who isn't in the film) and Muldoon wasn't supposed to be killed by a raptor, Wu was. Both Muldoon and Gennaro survive the first novel.
Odd note but I just really want to say how grateful I am that you credited artists in the video, I see way too many TikTok’s just not acknowledge that artists have poured blood sweat and tears into the images they use as backgrounds
I remember in the book Muldoon had to use a rocket launcher in the book instead of the Italian Franchi SPAS-12 pump/auto 12 gauge shotgun in thr movie. They didn't bleed fast enough and after shooting one with a 12 gauge slug in a vital spot could take 2 hours for them to bleed out, so for STOPPING power Muldoon used a rocket launcher.
Holy this was horrifying It's been a while since I've been on RU-vid and to come back and see easily one of my favorite youtubers growing so big with 36k is crazy considering the fact last time i used RU-vid i believe you had 1k great job can't wait to see what's next
It would, but to Universl, it's not profitable enough to make a game like that. Which is why fan games come out doing that. Apparently Universal are secretly supportive of the fan games, but it could just be a rumor.
The Jurassic park novel got me to start reading for the first time in probably six years. The books feel like they were written by an actual biologist - even if the actual content of the book is obviously fantastical (especially in the lost world, which has a whole bunch of time spent on just observing behavior in the high hide).
i would honestly like to see a jurassic film where the dinosaurs are hyper mutated from radioactive waste leading to them increasing in size and shorter lifespans causing more aggression for resources and more exaggerated weaponry like a carnotaurus the size of a tyrannosaur with horns similar to that of a triceratops and facial features that look like a mix from stumpy the tyrannosaurus and a skull crawler.
Nice to see the novel get some love. I was absolutely riveted by the story. I love the movie as it is but how I wish there was even more from the novel incorporated.
The tapetum lucidum, it's a membrane at the back of the eyes and is a very common evolutionary feature in mammals like dogs and cats. This is also why when something like a flashlight shines in their eyes, they tend to glow. Humans used to have it in our eyes back before we split as a species away from lemurs evolutionarily about 40 million years ago to make room for the cone cells that let us see the full red-green-blue color spectrum of visible light, as cats and dogs can't perceive the color red the way non-colorblind humans can. The way a tapetum lucidum works is that the membrane sits behind the retina, reflecting any light that's managed to penetrate all the way through the retina, giving the animal that has those eyes a second chance to perceive each light particle, upgrading its sense of night vision as DinoFax said by comparing it to be like fitted with integrated night vision goggles.
My god the lost world was an amazing book, and if anyone has access to the audiobook then GET IT! The narrator does an amazing impression of Wesker for some of the Biosyn employees.
The book is recommended to anyone who has seen the films (more so if you didn't enjoy them as much hoped). The first novel is great for the first half, and kinda falls apart between major events. You'll find a ton of references used in the films in the first novel alone. It show's you just how much the studio's shredded that novel and scattered the pieces into almost every film. The world building is a great addition in the novel where genetic engineering for cosmetic purposes has gone mainstream, and Jurassic Park was the next big business venture invested in by multiple businesses around the world
I like how horofaing the book is, and I like how the movie treated them as animals. Eather way Jurassic Park is brilient both as a book, and as a movie.
As I'm watching and loving this, it hits you like a ton of bricks how eerily InGen and Umbrella Corp. have similarities. Having said that, it has been over 20 years now, can we please have a reboot or remake of Dino Crisis already!?
Jurassic Park could have become a series of horror movies like Jaws, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th and Alien , but these idiots wouldn't let it
I'm sad he didn't mention the ceradactyal scene in the first book, that shit was terrifying, the idea of dozens of giant lizard bird trying to impale you. Nightmare fuel.
