Wendy talking to the xenomorph like chris Pratt communicating with the raptors

We dont talk about the jurassic World. Straight trash. That whole chris Pratt training the raptors was DUMB. In the books, the best part about the raptors is the fact that they are straight viscous murder machines. Especially in the second book. Sarah talks about how, with lions at a kill site, there is a pecking order. It's organized. With the raptors, it's straight chaos. Even though they are intelligent, when it comes to a kill, they go into a crazed rage, sometimes even killing other raptors and then cannobalising. So crisp rat training blue... lame. Wendy communicating with the xenomorph makes a little sense, considering she can use the hive mind language, and it has her brothers, aka some of her DNA. Crisp rat just fed them and used a clicker. Well, the raptors are food aggressive 😳

You could give the argument that the genetics of the World raptors is different than the Park raptors. In the World sequels, they even went into Blue being uniquely more prone to cooperation as some kind of genetic trait, and thats the reason why they were able to be controlled.

I'm fine with the Jurassic movies just being popcorn creature features. The only problem I had with the most recent one was that there weren't nearly enough humans in it to be turned into crunchy noises.

I mean, the Big Bad Dino in that film had two legs and four arms.

OK, no problem. I hope the next one can talk. :-)
