#it literally doesn't make any storytelling sense for ellie and alan not to still be together/married as a contrast to the main ship???

[cakemoney]

okay this is very far from the real point but is the jurassic world dominion trailer telling me that ellie sattler and alan grant are no longer together? they broke up? they’re no longer close and in each other’s lives? son of a fucking bitch

#laughs awkwardly #how dare you. do you understand how rare it is for me to root for a het couple??? how DARE you !!!!!! #there is already another couple that have the whole 'girl tells the guy to come back to main storyline' in the same trailer!!! #(not to mention in the previous movie. WITH THE SAME COUPLE) #it literally doesn't make any storytelling sense for ellie and alan not to still be together/married as a contrast to the main ship??? #movie franchise: somehow implies in any way shape or form that after the movie ends the characters all disperse into separate lives #me who is very normal about found families: this is bullshit. 0/10 story i hate it. no i'm not tearing up look away #EDIT: listen i know ellie and alan are fine as a friend dynamic that's not what i'm pressed about. it's the 'catching up' in the trailer #EDIT: that implies they haven't met in a while that gets to me. like why can't they still be hanging out?? i don't have abandonment issues ! #EDIT: but also in the og movie i genuinely appreciated that they felt like solid friends/partners first and couple second #EDIT: like they were just comfortable with each other without constantly talking about their relationship. and the trope where #EDIT: the guy starts out hating kids but then grows close to them is executed without any kind of romantic pressure from ellie #EDIT: or any insinuation that ellie and alan now plan to get married or have kids. it's just a subplot that alan has. the kids are just kids #EDIT: without being some kind of metaphor about men angsting about commitment or whatever. it was good dammit!! they were good!!! #EDIT 2: 'so what is the real point' all this nonsense about being 'out of control' 'subordinate to nature' is completely nonsensical #EDIT 2: the ISSUE is the ecological destruction that will be caused by multiple invasive species and the ripple effects across ecosystems #EDIT 2: [IF in fact the species invade successfully. which i understand for the sake of the movie yes of course they do] #EDIT 2: [but also like megafauna died out for a reason. being large takes too much energy to maintain so evolution downsized] #EDIT 2: [sorry this isn't important] #EDIT 2: NOT whether humans are still 'at the top of the food chain' cause bitch we never were. walk out into nature right now #EDIT 2: there already are many predators that can unalive humans anytime. to pose this as a dinosaurs vs. humans battle is just #EDIT 2: hilariously not understanding how the actual world and nature as it exists works. humans do not control nature that is the point? #EDIT 2: whatever. yeah i'll probably still watch the movie. i was gay for ellie sattler years ago and i will be again
