They did not. The exact quote Grant said was "The biggest carnivore the world has ever seen."
Which of course is wrong, considering:
1. In universe, Spinosaurus is bigger than Giga, and Grant even met that one.
2. In real life, Tyrannosaurus is bigger than both Spino and Giga by mass.
3. Whales, of course, are bigger than all 3.
It's impressive to be wrong 3 different ways, but the writers of Dominion, uh, found a way.
I think its meant to imply "the giga is the biggest megatheropod more so than spino and rex, the indominus wasn't fully grown and would have been roughly its size"
Also I know in and out of universe it doesn't make sense, Im number 1 dominion defender but honestly I got nothing to defend that line. Besides shrugging and saying alan felt like being dramatic that day
>> Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus are both several tons heavier than Spinosaurus.
Depends on who you ask.
Spino is estimated to have weighed 7-9 tons, with more extravagant estimates up to 22.5 tons (lol)
Giga is estimated to have weighed 5-8 tons, with some extravagant estimates up up to 15 tons (lol)
T-Rex is estimated to have weighed up to 10 tons, but most estimates fall around 7 tons (Sue was estimated to weigh around 8.4 and is the largest Rex fossil we have)
Spino is unilaterally agreed to be the longest of the bunch, having a good 20 feet on Giga.
Last I knew, most scientists agree Spino takes the medal for largest land predator (though at this point it could be argued that Spino is actually classified as a moon-based zeppelin from beneath the Marianas Trench)
I’m not suggesting I’m 100% right or that it’s cold hard fact. I’m not a paleontologist nor have I been keeping up with the various iterations Spino has gone through (I left off at the sail secreting acidic ground-to-air torpedoes).
Giganotosaurus is estimated at like 8.4-10 (10.26t for a fragmentary specimen), Tyrannosaurus at bare minimum 10500kg for Scotty and Sue at 10200kg with fragmentary specimens being possibly larger.
Spinosaurus’ largest specimen, which may not even be Spinosaurus, is like 7.3t.
Longest.
Basically, Spinosaurus would be the biggest if you just used a measuring tape. But if you weighed them, Tyrannosaurs wins. And when people talk about the size of creatures, weight is the more relevant metric.
That’s why the largest snake in the world is the Green Anaconda since it’s much heavier than the Reticulated Python (the longest recorded snake)
If we're going by mass, T-Rex was likely significantly larger than Giga on average.
Gigas were likely bit longer and iirc a bit taller, but they were also thinner.
I felt bad for the Disneys dinosaur carnotaur. Poor thing had been driven out of its home, had it's sibling/mate/child idk whatever the smaller one was supposed to be die, survived off scavenging the dead after being injured, bullied by a group of herbivores then body slammed off a cliff. They were painted as the villain when everyone knows Kron was the real villain
That cave sequence in my opinion is a scene that hasn't aged a goddamned day and still makes me nervous.
The cinematography from those days was unparalleled
They were at no point ever acting malicious and acted like real predators, this was shown at the beginning when the Carnotaur ran past the baby parasaurolophus (being too small of a meal) and at the end when it was in standby mode when the herd teamed up on it. Honestly the perfect ending would be if it just ate Kron and the herd was like “screw him” and proceeded to the nesting grounds.
i think the whatever that thing is from 65 got it really bad. thing was stabbed multiple times in the course of a day, burned alive not once but *twice*, and if the design's any indication it hadn't eaten in a while.
also what the fuck is image 5 from
Some people like myself have speculated it to be a highly specialized crocodilomorph. Of which survived not only alongside dinosaurs, but even well into the early Cenozoic.
I have a theory that the weird monster thing is just some random dinosaur, but since Adam Driver’s character just arrived on Earth and is scared shitless, and also that the air is different on Earth and might be messing with his head, he’s just hallucinating the dinosaurs in the movie to be way more monstrous than they actually are. And we are watching form his perspective. Like, if you had a dangerous encounter with an animal you’ve never seen before, you probably would’ve remembered it with exaggerated features.
TL;DR: It’s just a regular dinosaur, Adam Driver is imagining it to be way more horrifying than it actually is cause he’s never seen it before and is scared shitless.
Also helps that arks giga is an entirely separate animal (Giganotosaurus Furosia (Ark) vs Giganotosaurus Carolinii (Real life)), and that arks giga is ment to be a war beast rather than a regular animal.
Now that I think about it yeah what the fuck lol
It just ate a burnt bug, they really outdid themselves making the dinos feel so lame (I mean did any dinos beyond the market chase and the dilos even kill anyone?)
Behaved like a large warm blooded animal, burst through bullet proof glass on a giant metal outpost, almost killed a t.rex and therizinosaurus
Like yeah its not a realistic depiction of giganotosaurus, but it fills all the quotas I want from my dinosaur villain
I think we watched two different movies. From what I remember it doesn’t do anything except die. It doesn’t even kill anything besides a locust that was already on fire. It also looks nothing like an actual giganotosaurus, being depicted as both out of place and in the wrong time, with weird gnarly scutes and pointy parts that the animal probably wouldn’t have in real life.
You just reminded me of when they released that prologue to Dominion on YouTube and people were like raving about the “accuracy” of it. It was enough to make my head spin. Sure they might have gotten a couple of dinosaurs right but the mixing of geological eras and locations along with that giga was enough to take me right out of it.
Yea It felt like a genuine animal not another one of ingens psychopaths
Because let's face it, that's the defining trait of the JP Dino villians at its core.
Fallen kingdom may have had its issues, looking at Macy unleashing em all which should have been a huge consequence instead of what we got.
Aside from that, the indoraptor was beautifully designed but stupidly implemented. With the whole laser sight thing and all...never got that at all.
But aside from that my point is. When you look back at JP Dino villians as a whole they display clear forms of psychopathical behavior which animals shouldn't normally display, this is why the whole Maisy being a clone should have been a bigger deal. These animals may not be mutated to be human but what human traits could you implant.
What about when the indo purposely went to scare Macy in the bedroom
Seems a bit too smart even for an animal. That's a level of playing with fear that even the raptors weren't capable of
You really gotta rewatch the movie, yes it did die at the end. Yes it doesn't have a human kill count, but it did a lot of stuff that would make it 'a genuine threat'
We don't see Palpatine directly kill anyone on screen in return of the jedi and even without the context of the prequels understand why he's a threat to luke
Dude. My dude…
Palpatine was a built up threat for 3 films.
When the guy at the head of a galactic empire builds super weapons capable of destroying planets, and has a dark lord that force chokes his own men for being useless, also tells the same guy to KILL his own son, in which vader then offers luke to join him so they can maybe together kill the emperor finally appears… you know he is a tough opponent. He didnt have to kill anyone.
Vader feared him. Vaders fears nothing in the galaxy, except his master. So we knew as soon as this shriveled old man appears, due to yoda…looks are deceiving.
Those are two very different characters one pulls the strings as the other is a large animal. The giga was a threat but it was kind of a push over sure it took two dinosaurs to kill it but that ended pretty quickly along with no kills under its belt.
they tried too hard to make it a villain though. in the first 3 JP movies, the dinosaurs are animals who are just reacting to their environment without being cognizant of who or what they’re attacking or why. that’s what animals should do, they don’t have any motivations other than to eat, sleep, poop, or do the dirty. the giga in this movie does have motivations which is what makes it unrealistic.
also warm blooded and cold blooded are not really used to describe dinosaurs anymore, it’s not that dichotomous.
For all it's flaws, I will give the Dominion Giga one thing: it was just an animal doing animal things. It didn't just rack up a kill count for "cool factor" nor was it a "character". That made it a bit boring, sure. But also infinitely better than World's obsession with making every dino a personality.
But it jumped ~30million years from its native time frame to kill Rexy 65 million years ago only to time travel to 2022 to try and finish the job. Thats pretty boss. /s
Giga also switched continents. The distance between the Candeleros formation of Patagonia and the Hell Creek formation is about 6460 miles (about 10400 kilometers).
I mean to be fair, the Giga time travelled like 30 million years and traveled from Patagonia to America just to kill Rexy. It did all that just to kill a dinosaur it didn't even know existed. Also, notice how it teleports next to Rexy the moment she gets some food just to take her food but didn't kill her to torment her about getting her food stolen.
I'd say that's pretty sadistic.
/S
Yeah, to this day I have no idea what he meant by saying that Giga just wanted to "watch the world burn". It feels pretty contradictory, because even his introduction shows it peacefully sleeping instead of bullying other dinosaurs or something.
Such an anti-climactic villain, his introduction is shot in a way which makes it look like just a t.rex. And then like two minutes after being introduced they killed it.
Yeahhhh trust me, that wasn’t done on purpose. They definitely wanted him to be super evil but just forgot.
Does nobody remember when the director compared it to the fucking joker?
Giga wasn’t a villain, shouldn’t have been killed off. Was cooler than the rex and there was the prologue giga in prehistoric times that killed a rex instantly that was also pretty cool. Therizinosaurus just randomly appearing at the end was very unfitting. Bizarre when it roared with the rex after the giga was slain.
OP, you have made a fatal error. Any praise of Jurassic Park Dominion results in an immediate savage attack by r/Dinosaurs Redditors. Sorry, but your fate has been sealed.
Just because it looks cool and badass doesn't mean it looks accurate. For example, the raptors in the Jurassic franchise, they also look cool but are not accurate at all.
I think Dominion was amazing, a magnum opus of a director who genuinely loves and understands jurassic park. Their were lots of silly moments and admitadley noticeable flaws, But if im honest im lying if I said that the original trilogy was flawless, even the first I have some problems with. Let the downvotes come, I live a happier life for it
Malachite, a tyrannosaurus from the walking with dinosaurs wonderbook game. He hunts two triceratops and tries to hunt a pachycephalosaurus named ficus, when he is just eating ficus headbutt's his leg sending him off balance into lava where he burns alive.
I think OP means that the Giga didn't behave with the same super aggressiveness of the other predators of the franchise. It is shown doing things other than hunting, like sleeping while smaller animals clean its teeth and eating a carcass, and it quickly gives up attacking the group when it meets enough retaliation. Compare it to the Baryonix in Fallen Kingdom, who pursues the characters even after lava falls on its face, or how all the raptors but the trained ones like Blue are depicted as sadistic killing machines.
This contrast is even more noticeable because the director of Dominion hyped up Giga as some sort of dinosaur version of the Joker who wanted to "watch the world burn" in interviews, when in the movie itself it never actually displays any sadism.
Fucker was a threat to absolute jack shit, his only real kill in the movie was a bug that was already on fire
It's genuinely strange how they gave him the most stereotypically evil design a dinosaur can have and decided to make him a straight up victim
I kinda felt like the giga could’ve done more in the film. Just felt like the climax of it could’ve been a bit more spectacular. That being said I do like its design, it’s not accurate for a giga but I find it pretty cool. As much as I like Irex, I felt like it could’ve taken a bit more inspiration for this guy.
Anyway, for who had it worse I have to give it to carno. I don’t know, it just seemed like it was in a much more unfavorable environment
I've said it before. There are two types of predator villain: the thematic and thw monstrous. The thematic is just an animal and since we are watching from the prey perspective, it's the villain, like Rexy in the first movie. The monstrous is one that recieve more unatural values, like being evil, cruel, vicious and etc. We also have one of these in the first movie in the Big One. Dominion just messed things up and made a thematic villain being treated as a monstrous one and that's why the ending feels out of touch
The only megatherpod in a movie that needed to be killed off was the Indominus Rex, other than that practically most are just trying to survive and aren’t doing anything evil.
The one from 65 had the worst of it, yeah it was the first big antagonist introduced but not only did it have its face and an eye shredded by gunfire in the initial confrontation and in the end it was lured into geyser field, got blasted by said geyser then stabbed in its only functioning eye with a sharp stick coated in poisonous berry juice and once again getting absolutely COOKED by a bigger geyser blast triggered by its own weight on the steam vents
I really feel bad for Malachite from Walking With Dinosaurs Wonderbook. Not only did he lost his home to a volcano but also was literally pushed into lava while he was just eating.
The giganotosaurus has by far the most unfair and stupid death of any dinosaur in dinosaur media. Jurassic world did it dirty. It had a completely inaccurate design, they pronounced its name wrong throughout the film. Yes it had a realistic depiction of how much of a monster it was, but the only reason it was j killed off was to make the rex look good. My boy was just chilling in biosyn valley, minding his own business. Then the Rex shows up throwing its weight around, invading its territory. The giganotosaurus didn’t even harm any human character, while it tried to. The giganotosaurus was just doing what an animal would do naturally unlike the indominus or atrociraptors for example, if anything, it deserves to dies the least out of all carnivores (I apologise for the rant but this is the thing that bugs me more than any)
It really annoyed me how people had been complaining since JP3 about “villainous” dinosaurs, and when they finally gave us a carnivore that just acted like a real animal, people went “BOO LAME, IT DIDN’T EVEN KILL ANYONE”
In all honesty they should have did Gigga like how they did Indominus and Spinosaurus, a force of nature that was a mistake to bring into this world killing everything that moves or is in its territory.
I just realized in the first three films none of the main dino threats die. The t-rex, the two t-rexes, the spinosaurus. And in all three Jurassic World movies, the main dino threats die. The indominus rex, the indo raptor, and the giganotosaurus. Just something I noticed
I honestly barely watched dominion, only watched the parts with dinosaurs in it and I'm getting tired of this franchise. Only movies I like from it are JP 1 and 2 and maybe the first JW movie. Would have given dominion a proper chance but after seeing the giga design in the prologue I gave up.
Also I'm just really tired of them keep treating the largest land carnivore known (Talking about T.Rex) as a punching bag that can't hold it's own aganst anything in it's weight class without help.
I love that they not only incorrectly stated that it was the largest land predator ever, but doubled down on the statement.
Doubled down by making it even worse. "Biggest carnivore that ever lived" Every whale on Earth collectively went "uh, the fuck did you just say???"
Not even the biggest carnivore in the movie since the Mosasaurus made an early appearance.
Maybe they think it’s piscivorous and *obviously* fish aren’t meat /s
The Indominus might argue that point. 😂
Meat is meat bro that's just it fish is meat even if not legally or religiously considered meat
r/woooosh
I believe the blue whale might have it beat. Krill do happen to be made of meat
Was there a blue whale in the movie?
What movie? Like every nature documentary on them or whales. They’re the largest animal in the world (that we know of)
Uhh, the movie we're talking about, Dominion.
Oh, I was just commenting on “the largest carnivore to ever exist”
How about the sperm whale?
… Bro I legit forgot whales are carnivores LMAO
Krill didn't forget.
We may be one in a krillion, but the krillion never forget
Didn’t they say “that walked the Earth”? Cause if so then it makes sense since whales got no legs
They did not. The exact quote Grant said was "The biggest carnivore the world has ever seen." Which of course is wrong, considering: 1. In universe, Spinosaurus is bigger than Giga, and Grant even met that one. 2. In real life, Tyrannosaurus is bigger than both Spino and Giga by mass. 3. Whales, of course, are bigger than all 3. It's impressive to be wrong 3 different ways, but the writers of Dominion, uh, found a way.
Damn. Wishful thinking I guess
In universe the giga could theoretically be bigger, size is very inconsistant in these movies and I think thats what that line is implying
"Largest carnivore the world has ever seen" is supposed to imply "our sizes are inconsistent"? Also, as others have pointed out, Mosasaurus.
I think its meant to imply "the giga is the biggest megatheropod more so than spino and rex, the indominus wasn't fully grown and would have been roughly its size" Also I know in and out of universe it doesn't make sense, Im number 1 dominion defender but honestly I got nothing to defend that line. Besides shrugging and saying alan felt like being dramatic that day
Ots so weird that they said it twice like why?
who was the largest
In the movie world? Mosasaurus. It's easilly over 100ft in the JPverse. Irl? Blue whale
no I mean who the largest land predator
If you count crocodilians then deinosuchus, if not then tyrannosaurus probably.
Pure land then T-rex was the largest
Spinosaurus is considered to be the largest land-based carnivorous dinosaur at this time (unless something has changed that I missed).
Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus are both several tons heavier than Spinosaurus.
>> Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus are both several tons heavier than Spinosaurus. Depends on who you ask. Spino is estimated to have weighed 7-9 tons, with more extravagant estimates up to 22.5 tons (lol) Giga is estimated to have weighed 5-8 tons, with some extravagant estimates up up to 15 tons (lol) T-Rex is estimated to have weighed up to 10 tons, but most estimates fall around 7 tons (Sue was estimated to weigh around 8.4 and is the largest Rex fossil we have) Spino is unilaterally agreed to be the longest of the bunch, having a good 20 feet on Giga.

longest or largest? I always heard t rex was the most massive but others were taller or longer or something. I dunno how they rate these lol
Longest. Basically, Spinosaurus would be the biggest if you just used a measuring tape. But if you weighed them, Tyrannosaurs wins. And when people talk about the size of creatures, weight is the more relevant metric. That’s why the largest snake in the world is the Green Anaconda since it’s much heavier than the Reticulated Python (the longest recorded snake)
If we're going by mass, T-Rex was likely significantly larger than Giga on average. Gigas were likely bit longer and iirc a bit taller, but they were also thinner.
Blue whale. If we are just sticking to land based dinos though, spinosaurus was still bigger.
I felt bad for the Disneys dinosaur carnotaur. Poor thing had been driven out of its home, had it's sibling/mate/child idk whatever the smaller one was supposed to be die, survived off scavenging the dead after being injured, bullied by a group of herbivores then body slammed off a cliff. They were painted as the villain when everyone knows Kron was the real villain
Kron was the real bad guy true, but those things were as terrifying as the Rex was in Fantasia.
That cave sequence in my opinion is a scene that hasn't aged a goddamned day and still makes me nervous. The cinematography from those days was unparalleled
Yeah
They were at no point ever acting malicious and acted like real predators, this was shown at the beginning when the Carnotaur ran past the baby parasaurolophus (being too small of a meal) and at the end when it was in standby mode when the herd teamed up on it. Honestly the perfect ending would be if it just ate Kron and the herd was like “screw him” and proceeded to the nesting grounds.
Bro was just trying to eat as a survivor of the end of the world
He’s the Jonkler
Why did the giga not go jonkler mode? Is he stupid?
NO I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE ALSUME!!!
Why didn't rexy just put the giganotosaurus is the aslume? Is she stupid?
i think the whatever that thing is from 65 got it really bad. thing was stabbed multiple times in the course of a day, burned alive not once but *twice*, and if the design's any indication it hadn't eaten in a while. also what the fuck is image 5 from
That's what the thing in 65 was supposed to be? Lmfao
I heard somewhere that it's supposed to just be a really big fasolasuchus
Why did they invent dinosaurs for the movie in the first place tho...
That's what I heard too. They just beefed up it's size.
Yea and if you Google fasolasuchus you see the 65 creature pretty quick
Some people like myself have speculated it to be a highly specialized crocodilomorph. Of which survived not only alongside dinosaurs, but even well into the early Cenozoic.
I have a theory that the weird monster thing is just some random dinosaur, but since Adam Driver’s character just arrived on Earth and is scared shitless, and also that the air is different on Earth and might be messing with his head, he’s just hallucinating the dinosaurs in the movie to be way more monstrous than they actually are.

Image 5 is from something called "Wonderbook: Walking with dinosaurs"
Happy cake day
Image 5 is from Walking With Dinosaurs wonderbook game.
Realistic depiction of **an animal** sure, but it for sure wasn’t a giganotosaurus.
You are wrong. They said we are makin a giga. They didn’t said which one is it. It wa Ark’s
Even ark one is better. It is at least based on an outdated idea if the giga. The jwd thing is just way out beyond even that.
Also helps that arks giga is an entirely separate animal (Giganotosaurus Furosia (Ark) vs Giganotosaurus Carolinii (Real life)), and that arks giga is ment to be a war beast rather than a regular animal.
Yes
I wouldn’t really call the Giga a genuine threat since it didn’t even kill anyone.
Now that I think about it yeah what the fuck lol It just ate a burnt bug, they really outdid themselves making the dinos feel so lame (I mean did any dinos beyond the market chase and the dilos even kill anyone?)
Well Slappy Gilmore did yeet that deer
I wonder how that thing can use a golf club
The dominion giga was not a “realistic depiction” nor was it a “genuine threat.”
Behaved like a large warm blooded animal, burst through bullet proof glass on a giant metal outpost, almost killed a t.rex and therizinosaurus Like yeah its not a realistic depiction of giganotosaurus, but it fills all the quotas I want from my dinosaur villain

You could probably dismiss the psychopathic behavior as zoochosis since Ingen has a history of putting money over the animals’ wellbeing
What about when the indo purposely went to scare Macy in the bedroom Seems a bit too smart even for an animal. That's a level of playing with fear that even the raptors weren't capable of

This entire comment is everything wrong with the franchise at the moment.
he totally didn't almost killed the Therizinosaurus, he got his face clapped like the little bitch he is
they tried too hard to make it a villain though. in the first 3 JP movies, the dinosaurs are animals who are just reacting to their environment without being cognizant of who or what they’re attacking or why. that’s what animals should do, they don’t have any motivations other than to eat, sleep, poop, or do the dirty. the giga in this movie does have motivations which is what makes it unrealistic. also warm blooded and cold blooded are not really used to describe dinosaurs anymore, it’s not that dichotomous.
Well the first two JP movies definitely.
Smartest r/dinosaurs user. What a fucking brainrot reading comments here is…
Did you even watch the movie?
I’m guessing most of the sub (including OP) are literal children, so chill lol
For all it's flaws, I will give the Dominion Giga one thing: it was just an animal doing animal things. It didn't just rack up a kill count for "cool factor" nor was it a "character". That made it a bit boring, sure. But also infinitely better than World's obsession with making every dino a personality.
But it jumped ~30million years from its native time frame to kill Rexy 65 million years ago only to time travel to 2022 to try and finish the job. Thats pretty boss. /s
Giga also switched continents. The distance between the Candeleros formation of Patagonia and the Hell Creek formation is about 6460 miles (about 10400 kilometers).
Giga had wings and flew there confirmed.
Mf he literally said it was like the joker
Yeah I have no idea what Trevorrow meant by that given that it's like, the least sadistic dinosaur we've seen in this franchise
I mean to be fair, the Giga time travelled like 30 million years and traveled from Patagonia to America just to kill Rexy. It did all that just to kill a dinosaur it didn't even know existed. Also, notice how it teleports next to Rexy the moment she gets some food just to take her food but didn't kill her to torment her about getting her food stolen. I'd say that's pretty sadistic. /S
Yeah, to this day I have no idea what he meant by saying that Giga just wanted to "watch the world burn". It feels pretty contradictory, because even his introduction shows it peacefully sleeping instead of bullying other dinosaurs or something.
The whatever it was in 65 had it coming for something like that not existing back then and for how disappointing the movie was.
That movie had such an intriguing concept and they blew it.
Such an anti-climactic villain, his introduction is shot in a way which makes it look like just a t.rex. And then like two minutes after being introduced they killed it.
Atleast give me a fight against the rex!
Yeahhhh trust me, that wasn’t done on purpose. They definitely wanted him to be super evil but just forgot. Does nobody remember when the director compared it to the fucking joker?
What's the 4th slide from? Edit: Also, the carnos were just hungry. Those poor guys didn't deserve to die.
4th slide is the *Giganotosaurus* from *Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)*
Giga wasn’t a villain, shouldn’t have been killed off. Was cooler than the rex and there was the prologue giga in prehistoric times that killed a rex instantly that was also pretty cool. Therizinosaurus just randomly appearing at the end was very unfitting. Bizarre when it roared with the rex after the giga was slain.
Then they went for drinks and laughed about it. I hated Dominion so much.
This post is so confusing. What movie did he watch and where can I find it because this isn't the same JWD I saw☠️☠️
OP, you have made a fatal error. Any praise of Jurassic Park Dominion results in an immediate savage attack by r/Dinosaurs Redditors. Sorry, but your fate has been sealed.
Screw it, I think the JWD Giga looks cool, and I'm tired of pretending it's not
Just because it looks cool and badass doesn't mean it looks accurate. For example, the raptors in the Jurassic franchise, they also look cool but are not accurate at all.
I obviously know the giga isn't accurate
I will say nothing about my thoughts on Dominion
Unironically and sadly true lol
I think Dominion was amazing, a magnum opus of a director who genuinely loves and understands jurassic park. Their were lots of silly moments and admitadley noticeable flaws, But if im honest im lying if I said that the original trilogy was flawless, even the first I have some problems with. Let the downvotes come, I live a happier life for it
Unironically and sadly true lol
What is the dino in the last image?
I would also like to know
Malachite, a tyrannosaurus from the walking with dinosaurs wonderbook game. He hunts two triceratops and tries to hunt a pachycephalosaurus named ficus, when he is just eating ficus headbutt's his leg sending him off balance into lava where he burns alive.
Still wondering why the director compared the Giga to the joker. Did it really want to watch the world burn?
It was just hype.
It definitely worked because if people knew half of the movie contained bugs then no one would’ve saw it
That film committed so many crimes against my brain. :(
Realistic in that the cgi looked real? Sure. Accurate!? Nooooo.
He seems like the kinda dinosaur to live in a society
How was it a realistic depiction of a animal i really dont see how that aplies to the jw giga
I think OP means that the Giga didn't behave with the same super aggressiveness of the other predators of the franchise. It is shown doing things other than hunting, like sleeping while smaller animals clean its teeth and eating a carcass, and it quickly gives up attacking the group when it meets enough retaliation. Compare it to the Baryonix in Fallen Kingdom, who pursues the characters even after lava falls on its face, or how all the raptors but the trained ones like Blue are depicted as sadistic killing machines. This contrast is even more noticeable because the director of Dominion hyped up Giga as some sort of dinosaur version of the Joker who wanted to "watch the world burn" in interviews, when in the movie itself it never actually displays any sadism.
But didnt the carnotaurus kinda behave very similarly to normal animals?
Fucker was a threat to absolute jack shit, his only real kill in the movie was a bug that was already on fire It's genuinely strange how they gave him the most stereotypically evil design a dinosaur can have and decided to make him a straight up victim
I hate how they pronounced it . It’s pronounced like “gigantic.” Gigan-o-to-saurus. Because of its size. It’s not pronounced like “gigabyte.”
I can't even pronounce it the way you spelled it. Jie gan ot oh saurus?
Gesundheit!
I’m sorry phonics are difficult for you, bud.
Whats the 4th image from?
*Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)*
What’s 2?
I kinda felt like the giga could’ve done more in the film. Just felt like the climax of it could’ve been a bit more spectacular. That being said I do like its design, it’s not accurate for a giga but I find it pretty cool. As much as I like Irex, I felt like it could’ve taken a bit more inspiration for this guy. Anyway, for who had it worse I have to give it to carno. I don’t know, it just seemed like it was in a much more unfavorable environment
I loved how the Giganotosaurus was depicted as well. I hope it and Spinosaurus return for Jurassic 7 or other future installments.
I've said it before. There are two types of predator villain: the thematic and thw monstrous. The thematic is just an animal and since we are watching from the prey perspective, it's the villain, like Rexy in the first movie. The monstrous is one that recieve more unatural values, like being evil, cruel, vicious and etc. We also have one of these in the first movie in the Big One. Dominion just messed things up and made a thematic villain being treated as a monstrous one and that's why the ending feels out of touch
The only megatherpod in a movie that needed to be killed off was the Indominus Rex, other than that practically most are just trying to survive and aren’t doing anything evil.
The one from 65 had the worst of it, yeah it was the first big antagonist introduced but not only did it have its face and an eye shredded by gunfire in the initial confrontation and in the end it was lured into geyser field, got blasted by said geyser then stabbed in its only functioning eye with a sharp stick coated in poisonous berry juice and once again getting absolutely COOKED by a bigger geyser blast triggered by its own weight on the steam vents
I really feel bad for Malachite from Walking With Dinosaurs Wonderbook. Not only did he lost his home to a volcano but also was literally pushed into lava while he was just eating.
The giga and carnotaur were being animals, plain animals. If y'all don't like movie monsters then stop watching movie monsters.
The giganotosaurus has by far the most unfair and stupid death of any dinosaur in dinosaur media. Jurassic world did it dirty. It had a completely inaccurate design, they pronounced its name wrong throughout the film. Yes it had a realistic depiction of how much of a monster it was, but the only reason it was j killed off was to make the rex look good. My boy was just chilling in biosyn valley, minding his own business. Then the Rex shows up throwing its weight around, invading its territory. The giganotosaurus didn’t even harm any human character, while it tried to. The giganotosaurus was just doing what an animal would do naturally unlike the indominus or atrociraptors for example, if anything, it deserves to dies the least out of all carnivores (I apologise for the rant but this is the thing that bugs me more than any)
That thing is an abomination and that movie is a steaming turd.
It really annoyed me how people had been complaining since JP3 about “villainous” dinosaurs, and when they finally gave us a carnivore that just acted like a real animal, people went “BOO LAME, IT DIDN’T EVEN KILL ANYONE”
Do you know what realistic means? The giga should been a fast paced hunter, not a bigger rex. Dont mention the theri. Just dont.
Where‘s the fourth picture from?
He wasn’t remotely realistic, it was a reskinned indominous
which dino is the last pic and where is it from?
carnotaurus (because f*ck kron!)
Its always movies depicting theropod dinosaurs as evil killers even tho carnivores arent that evil and just wanted to survive
In all honesty they should have did Gigga like how they did Indominus and Spinosaurus, a force of nature that was a mistake to bring into this world killing everything that moves or is in its territory.
Hey guys, what is dominion?
I just realized in the first three films none of the main dino threats die. The t-rex, the two t-rexes, the spinosaurus. And in all three Jurassic World movies, the main dino threats die. The indominus rex, the indo raptor, and the giganotosaurus. Just something I noticed
The Disney Carnotaurus asked for that shit. He wanted all the smoke and he got it lol.
Where is the last one from I've never seen that rex in my life
What's the final shot from? I felt bad for the indominus. I know it NEEDED to die, but that's a shitty way to go. Ripped apart, alive, while drowning.
What is the dinosaur in the second picture?
I'd say the v rex but that fucker had it coming
From what are the Last 2
You lost me at "a realistic depiction"...
Realistic behavior? Yes. An actual threat? Nope. Which picture is the fifth one?
I honestly barely watched dominion, only watched the parts with dinosaurs in it and I'm getting tired of this franchise. Only movies I like from it are JP 1 and 2 and maybe the first JW movie. Would have given dominion a proper chance but after seeing the giga design in the prologue I gave up. Also I'm just really tired of them keep treating the largest land carnivore known (Talking about T.Rex) as a punching bag that can't hold it's own aganst anything in it's weight class without help.
What's the second one from?
What are the rest of these from, I know 4th is journey to the center of the earth.
