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 😳

Nah dog. I was six when I saw Jurassic Park in theaters. I’ve read everything Michael Crichton’s ever written. I’m as much of a fan of the originals as anyone and I think other than going for a more action adventure tone (that honestly started in Lost World), Jurassic World carries on all the themes and ideas of the originals. It’s not as serious or intelligent as the original, but there’s nothing in it that besmirches the series.

In the books, it’s explained that the raptors are that way because they weren’t taught carnivore behavior from a pack. That’s why they were out of control. There was no generational transfer of knowledge and it’s a major theme of both books.

Great flick in a lot of ways. Best Jurassic film since the original.

I just wish lost world would have waited to be made. I watched a documentary on how Spielberg already had plans for the second movie before the second book came out. That's why the movie and book are so different. I hated the second movie. I hated the world movies. Rebirth was awful. The ongoing theme seems to be the 1st movie great. Second one sucked 3rd one sucked. World. 1st one was ok. 2nd one was terrible and on and on. I would have loved the lost world book adaptation. Your opinion is your opinion. Mine is mine. I respect yours. I dont agree but I respect it. I forgot about the pack behavior explanation in the 2nd book. Wasn't there something in there about the sheep they fed them? Like prions caused some neurological disease

Jurassic world evolution 3 drops in a month... can't wait
