Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

So, what creatures would you like to apear/reappear/not appear in JPIV? I honestly don't want anymore raptors or T-Rex, as they are used too often in dinosaur films. I would like a marine JPIV, with a mosasaur or Liopleurodon taking the role of T-Rex, and either over-exaggerated Dorudons or Animal Planet's mermaids as raptor analogues. And it would probably be about how the creatures take over the oceans; Liopleurodon rampaging on the Malibu coast, anybody?

I know, but it is movie speculation, Fakey. It is like saying 'how about let nature do what the fuck it wants with it'; though it can, we still speculate.

It's not like he wants a white supremacist Jurassic park or something.
But I think they've over done Jurassic park, this movie won't be as good as the first one was

The only Jurassic Park movie I want to see now is where it is a documentary on the current success of Prehistoric Zoos.

That be cool. Like a commercial Prehistoric Park.
"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

They'll probably include crappy featherless raptors alongside crappy featherless tyrannosaurs.

There, happy?

As I said earlier, Raptors and T-Rex are used too often and I would like them to have replacements. Or they could become a non-antagonist 'character'. For example, a Nanotyrannus could attack the visitors, and then a T-Rex kills the Nanotyrannus, making it a sort of a 'hero'.

I'm waiting to see how horrible JPIV will be. Who knows, perhaps I'll hate it less than I currently think I will.
A hard mathematical figure provides a sort of enlightenment to one's understanding of an idea that is never matched by mere guesswork.

I'm hoping for a more scientificall-accurate remake (seeing someone taken down by dog-sized fluffy raptors would be both hilarious and terrifying). That's kinda what Spielberg has been hinting at anyway.

How Jurassic Park overuse Rexs and Raptors? It's fucking Jurassic Park!!. Plus Nanotyranosaurus was a just a juvenile T-rex.

Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the Earth.

I am a "Jurassic Park" fan. Always have been, always will be. I've read the book about five times. Seen the first two movies about ten. Third movie, only twice. And that was because I couldn't stand that they replaced the T-rex with the Spinosaurus.

You don't get rid of the T-rex and the Raptors. Are they overused? Yes. But they (along with Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, and some kind of sauropod (take your pick)) are the quintessential dinosaurs that any prehistoric park that specializes in dinosaurs needs to have in order to attract a lot of visitors.

It's like a zoo. Have you ever been to a zoo that doesn't have lions, tigers, elephants, some kind of monkey and/or ape, giraffes, and some kind of macropod? It's just not done. Granted, there might be a few exceptions, but the vast majority of zoos are going to have those. Crowds are guaranteed to love those animals and thus come to your zoo to see them.

It would be the same thing with those quintessential dinosaurs. Most guests (and I'm talking about your average guest here, not a biologically astute guest like one of us would be) go to zoos for the quintessential animals but stay for the unique ones. It would be the same with prehistoric parks: come for the T-rex, but stay for the Argentinasaurus.

You could always watch a walkthrough of Jurassic Park: The Game. It's a pretty good story that starts about halfway though the first film end ends shortly after it does. Or you could play the game if it's your sort of thing.


Or if you prefer a faster pacing, you could watch this older game. Warning, may cause laugh-crying.
