Dinosaurs are plenty scary on their own, so making hybrids is a bit excessive. However, there’s little doubt the Indominus Rex and Indoraptor were thrilling antagonistic forces that likely sold plenty of action figures to boot. However, the idea of going back to realism permeates “Jurassic World Dominion.” It’s a big reason why the film is the first in the franchise to have dinosaurs that actually have feathers. The scientists in the film are committed to bringing back dinosaurs as they were millions of years ago. 

Trevorrow found this to be an intriguing development, as he went on to say, “I actually like being able to give the characters in the films different perspectives and points of view about dinosaurs and how they should be treated in this new reality. The ones in this film, the good guys and the bad guys, one thing they do agree on is that dinosaurs are real, and they should be recreating them as accurately as they can.”

Still, creative liberties were clearly taken, especially when Trevorrow compared the Giganotosaurus to the Joker. An animal would have no instinct to “watch the world burn,” but it still made for a thrilling climax to see it duke it out with the T-Rex, something that could’ve never happened as the two creatures lived during different time periods on Earth.
