Well its coming back for the 4th movie! Both the Stegosaurus and the lightbulb did nothing in the original movie so it would be pointless. The Tyrannosaurus is a different kettle of fish as it was a prominent character. The idea behind the T-rex from the first film coming back is a mixture of constancy and fan service. Before Grant and co visited JP InGen moved animals from Site B to Nublar. one of which was the female Tyrannosaur. Now after the accident in the park she was free to rule the island for 12 or so years before Masrani turns up to build a new park. They recaptured her and now showcase her at the T-Rex kingdom. What is not to like?

Quote from: predxeno on May 01, 2015, 08:09:00 PMHistorically, movies that rely on fan hype or their popular opinion have never fared well in the box office, just look at movies such as AVPR, Silent Hill: Revelation, and Snakes on a Plane.
Quote from: predxeno on May 02, 2015, 01:08:32 PMNo, I'm stating that the producers seem to have more focus on fan hype than on producing a definable plot, one that many fans already dislike from the trailers (already not a good sign). If you think you're so smart then why don't you suggest a legitimate plot reason why only the T-Rex is mentioned in this example and why dinos like the Gallimimus weren't.
Quote from: predxeno on May 02, 2015, 01:38:38 PMYeah, I kinda figured that though in all honesty, I'd be pretty disappointed if T-Rex killed I-Rex

Which fans dislike the plot? From what I've seen its getting praise across the board from the fans.
QuoteHere is your reason...Tyrannosaurus is the most well-known popular dinosaur on Earth. And one which has lived for decades is very impressive. Proves what a dominate predator the Tyrannosaurus is.
Quote from: predxeno on May 02, 2015, 02:32:28 PMYeah, but it's almost inconceivable that none of the other "original" dinos survived along with the Rex.
