Jurassic World Dominion: 22 WTF Moments
13. Maisie's Origin Story Gets Retconned
Arguably the single most WTF moment in the entire Jurassic Saga is the reveal in Fallen Kingdom that Maisie is actually a clone of Benjamin Lockwood's (James Cromwell) daughter Charlotte.
The revelation proved hugely divisive with fans, enough that Colin Trevorrow basically decided to walk it back in Dominion with a glorified retcon.
Once Maisie is brought to Biosyn Valley, Dr. Wu reveals that her past is more complex than she thought. In fact, her mother was actually Charlotte Lockwood herself, who carried Maisie in her womb and gave birth to her conventionally.
More to the point, Charlotte didn't die in a car crash as originally stated in Fallen Kingdom, but succumbed to a genetic disease when Maisie was very young, but not before injecting Maisie with a series of DNA-altering treatments which cured her of the same condition.
Maisie's backstory was enough of a stretch in Fallen Kingdom, but here it basically becomes untenable, at once hugely contradicting established information and nudging it into an even more ridiculous place with her Super DNA.
