shadows boxing
I am beginning to think
love is a trick our shadows play on us
they make a deal behind our back
kiss in our dreams
and then watch our bodies fall
like dominoes with random thoughts
and universal messages
we are so blind in our minds
our shadows see it all

“If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Essays, Letters and Miscellanies

“Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.”

These are all excellent points!! I agree the intention seems to be the locust are the big bad animal for the film, as they drive the plot as well as non-concretely serving as a threat! I love the concept of the locusts as well, and I ADORE the thematic purpose of them (to show the issues with abuse of power and rewarding green, bioengineering wise and also more generally) but think the message would have been delivered better to audiences if the storyline was more interesting, and the stakes felt higher.
If they had to include the locust, showing them devouring the crops and plunging the world into global famine, harming people, ecosystems and newly de-extinct animals alike, would have been the way to go. Use this backdrop for the bulk of the story!
Personally I’d go even further and have at least one character die of a famine related cause, to show the stakes are high, and do so towards the start of the film to set that expectation relatively quick. I’d also have shady corporate espionage type people actively target Henry Wu and Ian Malcolm, to show the threat they pose, too. Make Lewis Dodgson feel like the greedy man who saw no bar too low to cross to make a buck and improve his reputation he is in the books (where he employs corporate espionage to achieve his goals).
Just some ways to make the threat feel like a threat, if they wanted to go in the locust direction!
FUN FACT!: The Atrociraptors were based off of the real-life Atrociraptor dinosaurs. Atrociraptors were closely related to Velociraptors, and as such the real life versions were similarly turkey sized.
The only hybridization that happened were the Atrociraptors POSSIBLY being hybridized with Isla Sorna's Velociraptors, if you take promotional materials as canon.
But that's why they're not as weird looking as the I-Rex, Indoraptor, or S-Rex, the only hybridizations they'd have is a possible sample of Velociraptor DNA.
...Huh! I guess I just assumed they were, especially because the name is just so movie-feeling. Why would you name something that in the real world??
Eh, they're still not scary. That movie doesn't seem to know which new dino is its new Terrifying Favorite: the atrociraptors try to no avail, the giganotosaurus is kinda dumb-acting too, and my fav of them all ultimately has the least amount of screen-time: the therizinosaurus. Now that thing was scary.

I agree, can’t tell if it’s self aware or not but it’s absolutely hilarious nonetheless!
I do appreciate that a main plot-point in Jurassic World is that the Indominus was made because “people don’t care about dinosaurs anymore” and then every movie after it has also featured a new made-up hybrid. Pretty funny whether it’s self-aware or not.

I am once again thinking about digging holes
It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification
I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

So true
Actually the portrait of Charles is red to represent enthusiasm, energy, determination, passion, strength, leadership, and love. It doesn't matter that it looks like he's walking through fountains of blood spilled by the British empire! Some of you people need to learn color theory
