How Much T. rex Do You Want in JP5?

I'm looking for somewhere between TLW and JP, edging more towards the TLW end. I like T. rex, and they need to make up for it's small amount of time in JP/// and JW. For that matter, I'd like the Raptors roles to be reduced more to their JP/TLW screen time.

How about you?

T Rex in a first film like role & Raptors having only TLW type screentime please. We need Dilos in a main role this time I feel being on the mainland & also a Carnotaurus cameo appearance.

About equivalent to the first film. A healthy dose of T. rex is always a good thing, but it shouldn't be overboard like it was in TLW, with the T. rex dominating the entire film.

I want T. rex as the star again. Like in the first 2 movies.

JW Screentime is good for me. I got enough of the same famous species, I want new dinosaur species that deserve to appear. I want new theropods, the franchise needs to add new cool dinosaurs too.

An interesting aspect of Jurassic World was that the Rex is hardly in the film, but it is hyped up for a big finale. That in a way signifies Jurassic Park's 'return', so you can't really do that again. I'd like them to explore encounters with other dinosaurs in future films and keep the Rex to the minimum. You can't get rid of the Rex though, and I believe you can't really have a JP film without it.

Maybe a similar screen time as the first movie. At least double JW's screen time.

Well, I don't want T.rex to be cut, I know it's impossible given it's large fanbase. BUT, add new cool theropods to co star? Hell yes.

I want T. Rex to be the star in JP5 but at the same time I also would love to see another large carnivore take the spotlight.

I think the amount of time Rexy had in the first film. Maybe even a little more.

I think a Rex should and will have a bigger role in JW2.

I think about the same as the original film. It shows up a couple times to be awesome and threatening, then does something cool at the end, but doesn't dominate the movie like in TLW. Also, they can't really outperform JW's role for Rexy. Instead of trying to emulate that kind of awesomeness they should go for something different, to show the species in a new light.

I'd like to have Tyrannosaurus in the spotlight again... so, more screen time than with JW, but keep it to a minimum. Give other predators a chance to shine, as well.

Every single JP film has had a Tyrannosaurus, even JP3 did that. So I'd say if they can work her/him into the plot, having them as a big threat be cool. At least 2 scenes be preferable.

Not having a T-Rex or a Raptor in a Jurassic movie would be like having a Jurassic movie without the JP classic theme.
So I want them back in JW2, but maybe with some new main dinosaur so there can be some innovation

None.

More Allosaurus please.

About the same as the first movie or at least a little bit more than JW. Don't want it dominating the movie like TLW.

How about no T-Rex? As long as they have Raptors, I'm fine. Of course, they should have some Rex in it. Maybe a news broadcast showing what has become of Rexy on the post-JW Nublar. That's all the Rex I want and think should be in the sequel.

I get it, we all love Tyrannosaurus and understand that it's the symbol of the Jurassic Park franchise, but that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be in every JP film. I mean, you can only do so much with one dinosaur. That goes for Velociraptors too, but because of their size, they aren't too overwhelming.

Allosaurus?

I like you.

I'm pretty sure a good jurassic story can be made without including raptors, t.rex and the jp classical theme. Yes they are symbols of the franchise but that doesn't mean they have absolutely to be in every iteration (this worked before in other franchises : for example, Gandalf is a symbol of the Tolkien Legendarium and yet he doesn't appeared in every Middle-Earth story, he is only present when its needed and relevant)

Don't take me wrong, i'm a huge fan of the t.rex but i prefer it to don't appear than to be shoehorned for the sake of it.

There is tons of other species that have potential to be memorable if their appearance on the big screen is well-handled.
Remember, the Jurassic park franchise made Raptors, Dilophosaurus, Gallimimus, Compsognathus and Spinosaurus popular.

I think the lack of T.rex or Velicoraptors would be keenly felt, even if the story was excellent. If the story was lackluster and problematic, then the backlash of their absence would be even worse. I think it might be time to introduce a new T.rex to follow in the footprints of Rexy, a young male possibly, but with only a couple of notable screen appearances just like in the first movie. I may have enjoyed each and every T.rex scene in The Lost World, but it did come at the expense of other dinosaurs.

I would approve of a more restrained use of T.rex in the next film if it allowed other species like Dilophosaurus, Carnotaurus and Allosaurus have a chance in the spotlight. I would also hope that what few appearances it has are respectful and leave a strong impact like Rexy in Jurassic World.

This is essentially what I want, and what would probably be the smartest move for the franchise.

A significant role, with a couple of memorable appearances, but without overwhelming the film, and allowing time to introduce new species as well.

Obviously cutting it entirely would result in a massive fan backlash, which would follow the film forever, even if the film itself was fantastic. From a business standpoint, it would be a hilariously bad move.

About first film level IMO.

Give it like a few brief moments, then one big scene (maybe fight another dinosaur like a Trike or Stego), and thats it.

I would like to see Triceratops vs T-rex. That would really help complete the franchise for me.

I feel the exact same way. Not to say that fighting dinosaurs is all I want or expect from a Jurassic Park movie, but something about that particular battle feels right. It's not a Rex on Spino rematch, or a battle between some flavour of the month predator and either T. rex or Velociraptor, it would be a fight that would demonstrably prove that the herbivores are not meek cattle to simply be slaughtered, that they can in fact inflict some nasty damage when push comes to shove. We got a little bit of that in The Lost World and Jurassic World with the Stegosaurus and the Ankylosaurus, but a T. rex fighting a Triceratops is one of the most iconic images in all of prehistoric fiction and naturally lends itself to Jurassic Park.

I want about three scenes with Rexy. A rex vs triceratops scene or something; one where the circumstances make rex depicted as a horror monster and he eats some people and stuff; and one, maybe by the end, where rex is a glorious, majestic creature. <3 But that's just me.

If there were to be a Rex/Trike fight at some point, I really wouldn't want to see either one of them die. The Rex dying is a no go, and the Trike dying in it's first onscreen battle would be a travesty.

I could certainly see a situation where a Rex attacks a Trike, the trike is able to hold off the Rex, and the Rex eventually gives up and slinks off to lick its wounds.

this exactly!

Many fights in the wild don't go down having a clear winner. Lots of times both sides back off.
