8 Reasons You Should Be Concerned About Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
6. The Indoraptors
The two most recent trailers for the film have been less focused on the whole 'exploding volcano' storyline since it wasn't well-received in the first trailer and have instead been focusing on the 'half horror'-section of the film.
The primary cause of this horror aspect looks to be creatures that have long been rumored for the production, the Indoraptors. They are engineered, smaller versions of the Indominus Rex from the previous film and look to be the primary dino antagonists of this film.
While it is nice to see something about the film not simply go with the 'bigger. more teeth' mantra, recycling the same villain from the previous film (only smaller) is a strange creative decision. The Indominus was an interesting antagonist because it was as violent and unstoppable as a T-Rex but as smart as a Raptor, which was something audiences had never seen before. But these Indoraptors are as small as a raptor and... as smart as a raptor?
If anything, this just feels like a desperate attempt to provide payoff to D'onofrio's line from Jurassic World, where he mentions the possibility of an Indominus the size of a T-Rex in strategic warfare.
