13 Dumb Decisions In Jurassic Park Movies We Can't Forgive

4. Making Humans The Big Bad - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Since the first film, there have always humans in a somewhat antagonistic role. But while Dennis Nedry and InGen rubbed their hands together and schemed, they were never purposefully evil.

The introduction of Eli Mills and making Dr. Wu a mad scientist, has made the new threats of the franchise to be money-grabbing comic book villains, akin to the Umbrella Corporation than just naive scientists playing with mosquito blood.

The dinosaurs are scary villains on their own, and the "science-gone-wrong" theme of the Indominus Rex and even the Indoraptor are acceptable enough, but the filmmakers had to put illogical motivations into the mix and turn some of the characters into something straight from a Saturday morning cartoon.

Breeding the dinosaurs to be used in combat zones is a dumb decision already, but we can get behind it because the purpose of Owen Grady's character is to be a Raptor-whisperer. To have a whole sect of characters who are straight-up evil feels lazy and uninspired at this point.

Surely no fan of the franchise can watch the new film in earnest, if it involves Christ Pratt having a fistfight with another human character while Blue cheers him on from the sidelines.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
