This came out today. What do you guys think about it?
I've watched the first six episodes so far and it's not bad. A bit more violent than I expected, though I doubt they'll touch the kids. Characters are a lot more interesting than that similar Fast & Furious show they did.
>violent
Examples?
From just the promotional material I can say the dinos look fantastic but the humans look like shit
So far it's just a dinosaur, some nameless staff and a scientist named Eddie getting eaten by dinos. You never see the process itself and it's not that intense, but I didn't think they were gonna kill anyone at all.
>From just the promotional material I can say the dinos look fantastic but the humans look like shit
The humans look better in motion than in stills, but the male counselor consistently looks like a lifeless doll in comparison to everyone else. It's weird.
>Referencing the raptor whistle from JP3 in the first episode
I just started it, and this feels like an ill omen.
It's not bad to reference canon from a bad film, but what ticks me off is in JP3 that was a 3d printing estimate of the flesh that would allow the raptor to make its complex calls. Why is one just rolling around in a bunch of raptor bones, videogame or not?
Three episodes in, and I'm pretty annoyed
I liked how they become increasingly disheveled when shit starts going south.
Is there any dumb woke shit in it, likea black guy that doesnt steal
>smart black kid is main character
He's smart and black
Some annoying tall rich chad
A annoying twitch/you tube girl star
An athlete girl
a nervous guy kid
a chubby simple girl
Would be better to see then learn about dino sex, I hope to see dino gore though
The main kid is a dino nerd but he's not especially smart.
That's not saying much when literally nobody in this show is. I'm getting Lost World flashbacks and not in a good way.
The jockette and the ranch girl might like each other, but it’s never explicit.
I liked that. It could’ve been too easy to make him a walking dinosaur encyclopedia that could solve every single issue.
I'm on the second to last episode. It's decent I guess, not anything to write home about but it's not offensively bad.
3 eps in
athlete chick is cute
pink haired chick needs to get eaten
kenji is a giga chad
the wimpy white kid is offensive
also, as of episode 2, there is no reason for any of these kids to be allowed on the island
>Characters are a lot more interesting than that similar Fast & Furious show they did.
Guess what's getting a second season next month?
I wish they did more with the idea that all the other kids essentially got in because they are rich or have connections but Darius. Did they ever explain how/why Ben was included?
Where does this show take place in the JP timeline? Because there is no way that this could happen before JW1 & not create a scandal that would greatly harm the park.
It takes place during JW1.
Okay, that makes more sense. Thank you.
They do. His mom works for Masrani and signed him up so he could get over his fears.
Takes place parallel to Jurassic World. They even reference events from the movie taking place on the other side of the island.
>a Jurassic Park series
>that follows children
>the most untouchable, god-like characters in that entire universe
It'd probably be more suspenseful watching pain dry.
It's like if Star Trek made its cast all Qs.
Is this as kiddy as Rebels or Resistance?
Rebels wasn't bad and I will stand by that
>Resistance
That however was, and I would rank this somewhere with that. I just can't stand most of the cast in this
I'm not asking about bad I'm asking how kiddy this show is
It wasn't that either, but I digress, I answered your question, having a few minor characters bite it and vague notion of danger doesn't make it not toothless.
>Show actually kills off one of the kids at the fucking beginning of an episode
Holy shit, that's impressive. Didn't think they'd actually go through with-
>Takes it back at the last fucking second
Credit that it actually waited an entire episode to do it, but they could have at the very least saved it for season two or some shit.
Rule 34 when?
There's a gif too
I'd say it's along the lines of late-season Rebels. It didn't feel so safe and force so much comic relief to the point of putting me to tears like Resistance did.
Kenji getting major PTSD after Ben's "death" was great. I'd agree it's kind of copout, but I think Ben surviving that raises some implications whether he's even human at all.
Mega?
*boring me to tears
Any interesting dinosaur species/hybrids?
I do agree that was a good piece of character development
Honestly though, the biggest problem with the "Death" aside from the copout is that it would have easily been avoided if literally anyone else in that train without a bad leg had also moved to help him aside from Darius. Seriously, what the fuck were the read of them doing while that scene was going on, just watching him dangle there?
Carnotaurus of all things got some love, that's something
>people getting eaten by dinos
I guess I'll check this out
Yeah, that bothered me too. It didn't help that they dragged it out into the next episode instead of ending on Ben actually falling off.
>"So THAT'S what toxic masculinity looks like."
God damn, I'm probably one of the biggest JP fags on this site but I'm already getting filtered on the first episode. Please get better.
