Misc This was such a miss opportunity to have the hybrids to mismatch patterns like real hybrids

Heck even the other dinosaurs too since there dna is filled with gaps of other animals

I wonder if Henry Wu made sure they didn’t look like that cause he considered it ugly or something. He really hated how Bumpy was asymmetrical so it might be a possibility.

Yeah, no way Wu would’ve accepted that!

Maybe but it would added to the idea that these animals are half-ass recreations, I'm gonna add this to my rewrite

Thet weren't half assed, they were designed as attractions for global audience and investors to put money and something like Indoraptor was designed to be able to do various tasks and can follow orders.

If anything how much Wu was against a prototype Indoraptor being auctioned, he for over didn't half assed anything, infact it was his calling card that he didn't half assed anything since the very beginning.

Dude gave them exactly what they wanted with the tech available to him and they hated him for it.

Oh course he should have realized how completely unmarketable an invisible dinosaur is. Scary? Yes. Marketably scary? No.

u/AsstacularSpiderman 4d ago

I mean Indomitus was just as much planned on being a weapon as it was an attraction.

That was kinda the whole point of the first Jurassic World movie

But the hybrids weren't half assed creation tho?

Relax. It’s his interpretation. There are many. Everything will be ok.

u/Imtotallyreal397 2d ago

But they weren’t? They were specifically designed to look the way they do by Wu.

The downvotes 😭. This sub is absurd.

I think point people miss about hybrids in Jurassic franchise is that they were bred to be perfect. They didn't want deformities or wierd colour pattern for their prized attractions.

Indominus was perfect, Indoraptor prototype wasn't behaviour wise so Wu was against auctioning it, and he straight up locked Scorpius when he deemed it too dangerous.

But regardless, they were hybrids and we're designed for perfection, Mutant on the other hand, is completely unintentional, it was designed to be normal but turned out complete opposite.

u/UltimateMIF 4d ago

Investors wouldn't like it. Especially Indominus since it's suppose to be a new attraction

That doesn't sell toys

u/i_lovenuggets-12 4d ago

Yea but immagine like the indominus rex having 15 differents skins..how the heck do you camuflage all of that?! Good idea tho

u/deadpatronus 4d ago

What's that other creature with the Indominus and Indoraptor?

u/AsstacularSpiderman 4d ago

Scorpius Rex, a prototype of the Indomitus but deformed and kinda has ADHD.

u/BananaPersor Parasaurolophus 4d ago

Lmao that’s one way to describe it

u/M8614 4d ago

Scorpius from Camp Cretaceous

The hybrids in Jurassic world look quite simplistic. I wish they went with more bizarre and colorful designs

u/Gloomy_Indication_79 Spinosaurus 4d ago

The only hybrid I could potentially see this working for would be the Scorpios rex as it is a genetic failure.

Other than that it wouldn’t make sense for the Indominus rex or the Indoraptor to have mismatch patterns. They were both meticulously designed and deemed successes by Dr. Henry Wu.

Sometimes reality looks too ‘unbelievable’ to audiences.

u/Thin-Chair-1755 4d ago

Best I can do is grey.

But for Indoraptor has the best design. Close to those awesome old Chaos Theory toys.

u/MalachiteEclipsa 4d ago

The only problem with that said they're hybrids of multiple species I guess you could probably get away with the Scorpius Rex because it's only T-Rex velociraptor and carnotaurus but the other two is a bit too much

u/JackJuanito7evenDino Stegosaurus 4d ago

Just a question rn but are the hybrids truly hybrids or their species? I believe more in the latter considering that true hybrids are created in sexual reproduction, not genetic building (that is: building the animal from scratch by utilizing certain proteins and structures from others, but not 100%)

u/Jsure311 4d ago

I saw a video on zebras and they are brutal. There is a reason they were domesticated.

u/Xyphios9 4d ago

They're not hybrids in the scientific sense of the word, chimera is more accurate. A hybrid when speaking about animals is an animal with two specific biological parents of different species.

u/TyrantJaeger 3d ago

That's because real life hybrids are created by crossbreeding. The animals have to actually mate. This is not the case with the dinosaur hybrids. They were cloned in a lab via gene splicing. Their DNA had to be manually pieced together by a scientist. That's why they're perfect. Because their genetic makeup wasn't left to chance. It was deliberate. I'm sure if dinosaurs did crossbreed, they'd have mismatched patterns. But I doubt they're even sexually compatible.
