Apparently early ideas for Jurassic Park 4 included dino-human hybrids

[minute bull]

AND CYBORGIZED? That's way too much packed into one creature.

But on the crossbred awesomesauce scale, it ranks second only to:

THIS fucking melange of WTF. (Y'all member when we used to sling our Uzis round our waists with a loose belt? Member that?)

 

[Guestx]

Yes

They even responded by name and came back to help Pratt at the end

If you wanna talk about jumping the shark well that was it

I didn't love that part of JW and it definitely gets the wheels of my bullshit-o-meter turning.

But at the same time, I can't say for certain that dinos would NOT be in any way trainable, especially considering that they are being raised from birth by people.

 

[dc007]

Dinosaurs would be a good weapon against asteroids.

Truth. Dinos never lost a rematch.

I have seen videos of people playing with Lions and Bears and shit so maybe on some minuscule level its possible

But I also read news stories of trainers being killed or mauled by the animal

Are Dinosaurs really the same tho? They seem to be like Great White sharks where it would be impossible to really tame them. Especially Raptors since the franchise has established them as one of the deadliest types

Great question.

 

[Bacco]

But they needed to be from the space

 

[Organic Damage]

They didn't close to the edge they crossed it. The military would have no interest in dinosaurs being weaponized like that. Especially with robots right around the corner there is no point in investing in that.

While I agree with you in 2018, in the past (and present) the army has variously weaponized
Pigs
Dogs
Dolphins
Rats
Elephants

And that's not even mentioning cavalry horses.

I don't see any way of making weaponized dinosaurs any less absurd than Dino-Ryders though. And dino-human hybrids are best not contemplated, let alone discussed.

LOL. My reaction exactly, followed up with a sign of relief.

That was actually a placeholder post, LOL.

The thing is animals like that actually make more sense than weaponizing a dinosaur to me. I can see weaponizing small animals and even normal animals simply for the surprise factor. Weaponize a stray dog as a bomb and send him into enemy territory and boom.

A dino is going to be gunned down immediately.

I'm going to read that Sayles script to see what it's all about, but from everything I've read it sounds pretty fucking crazy (and not really in a good way).

PITCHER: "All you got to do is pick it up and throw it! You're such a spaz!"
COACH: "Hey, none of that!"​

I think that tells us everything we need to know about this script.

I definitely won't begin to claim to know how trainable dinosaurs may, or may not be, but it doesn't seem completely far fetched. And the raptors in JW were still pretty vicious and Owen's relationship with them was always tenuous.

But I would think that dinos would act more mammalian than a fish, especially with the information we now have of certain bird-like characteristics.

I don't know about that. They'd be fast as fuck and it's difficult to hit a moving target.

I'll say this shit, if was dropped into a jungle with a gun and told that I'd be going up against a raptor, I certainly wouldn't feel like my victory was assured.

Yeah that sounds like crap

 

[Protectandserve]

That script sounds like some Sci-fi channel nonsense.

It's amazing to me that Spielberg even entertained the idea, but apparently he did.

something happening in Japan (where the competition is apparently easier),

Did a 12 year old write it or something?

A 5 year old gave us of a little seen under the radar block buster movie of last year
