Through that lens, we get some of the most emotional, character-driven moments we’ve ever seen involving dinosaurs, from the introduction of Blue and her Velociraptor sisters as likable versions of a dinosaur once made out to be the ultimate hunter to the sad final appearance of the first Brachiosaurus we’d ever seen in the series.
This all culminates in the ultimate statement of humanity’s folly in creating these creatures, as the Indoraptor is a fearsome creature by design, but can still be pitied in its existence.
As the rest of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sees the human figures acting as the true villains, with their intent on selling the dinosaurs for profit and personal gain taking up a good part of the film’s story, we ultimately see the dinosaurs in a light so different than the previous Jurassic films have allowed.
