#Sandee rants about fictional dinosaurs

[sandee4eyes]

So I actually liked the design of the Scorpius Rex and its roar is awesome but I never got how it actually differed from the Indominus.

Okay so it's uglier. It climbs and it's a bit more violent with how it kills. But I-Rex also killed for sport so?? How was Scorpius a failure but Indominus wasn't?

Wu makes a big deal in his video diary about how it's "docile one minute and aggressive the next", so I thought we'd get a scene where it's about to kill a camper and suddenly goes into playful & blissfully ignorant animal mode. Not like the Indoraptor playing dead and toying with its food, but genuinely just vibing with a human, making them suuuuper uncomfortable and terrified beyond belief, before it gets super defensive and violent at the snap of a twig or the blink of an eye. How damn scary and tense would that be?? I would have loved to see that! But they never utilise that. It just gets distracted by fire, or prioritises chasing down its rival Scorpius whenever it hears a distant roar. We never see it NOT being aggressive, so what was the point in that line?

Basically I think Scorpius is a cool idea but is never used in a way that's different than any of its successors. In terms of plot elements, it's just another Indominus. Another Toro. Another Rexy. Except it can climb and there's two of it. Oh yeah, and poison quills
