Jurassic Park Series

[DoomRulz]

The most obvious angle to take would be a continuation of the military stuff, but the Hoskins character wasn't particularly well-received, so who knows.

Spoiler

Do we know for sure he's dead?

This is Jurassic Park, not The Avengers. He's definitely dead.

or were you talking about the Idominis Rex? Cause I'm not certain he's dead.

No, she's definitely dead as well. She was tough but not invincible.

I know it wasn't the films but didn't stop them bringing Malcolm back in the books. 

[DoomRulz]

Well technically, all we get in the book is Muldoon shaking his head when asked about Malcolm. This is of course after Malcolm just fades out in mid-speech. It could've been a temporary thing, like a coma state.

The Lost World's first few chapters address that pretty well.

Page 398 of Jurassic Park:

The government of Costa Rica felt they had been misled and deceived by John Hammond and his plans for the island. Under the circumstances, the government was not disposed to release of the survivors in a hurry. They did not even permit the burial of Hammond or Ian Malcolm. They simply waited.

He was dead until Crichton retconned his mathematical ass back from the dead to be in The Lost World (which I'm sure had something to do with the success of the Jurassic Park movie and the popularity of the Ian Malcolm character as portrayed by Jeff Goldblum.)

He only wrote the book at all because the first film was so big. Universal specifically asked him to pen a sequel.

[Bat Chain Puller]

Well. There you go.

[OmegaZilla]

Haha hell yes. Spielberg tormented him. You can see some bitterness in TLW too.

I don't think it had anything to do with being unable to make a feathered dinosaur scary... they're just saving it for the inevitable sequel. Where Dr. Wu finally gives everyone real dinosaurs. Of course they basically are way more scary then the fake ones while sporting sheik feather coats.

Trust me when I say there's more than a few JP fans who honestly believe feathered animals aren't scary.

[OmegaZilla]

Still with this stuff? Good God. We've been drawing circles in this thread.

[DoomRulz]

As long as Jurassic Park exists, this subject will always be around.

[Vermillion]

We are hairless apes. 

Or are we hairless aliens?

I want you to get attacked by a f**king Goose and tell me they aren't terrifying.
