I've only ever seen edits of this image until now

[snowychicken]

I saw this reblog and thought "there aren't that many edits of this post. There's just the gun one and a few close ups of the orangutan's face." Turns out I just wasn't paying attention

Anyway, I felt the need to gather them all

If there's any others PLEASE show me

I’m genuinely starting to think that I was just born broken. That I will continue to make the lives of everyone I interact with worse and that the world would be a better place if my umbilical cord had wrapped around my neck

How many friends am I going to hurt before I just hide in the woods somewhere like the freak I am

I’m going to be starting a new job soon and in my talk with HR she went “Computer tech? That means you’ll be with the boys.”

Turns out, I’m gonna be the only woman in that department. Not surprising on it’s own, but so far I’ve met three of “the boys”.

They’re all huge.

One thing I think comic books are missing is the collection of vaguely weird student and professional artists that would be sending polite but occasionally unhinged requests to every super-powered human known to the public.

"Hey, Superman, I wrote seven secrets on this, can you quick compress it between these two bits of metal so it's hidden forever?"

"Hey Spider-Man, would you be down to just like, web the hell out of the inside of this cardboard box? I've been gathering your stuff from crime scenes but it'd be awesome to have some clean samples." "Hey Batman, can you... you know what, never mind. Hey Robin could you stick this to the highest point in Gotham? I swear it's biodegradable."

"Hey Wonder Woman, I know the Greeks don't *technically* do holy water but can you do some kind of blessing on this bottle? It's for a project." "Hey Flash, can you vibrate for me in the studio so I can cut the sounds into a track?"

"Hey, Green Lantern, you don't happen to know the Pantone shade of your ring, do you?" I am sure someone's going to point me at some kind of existing example but I really feel like this should literally be happening constantly.

Watching Jurassic Park and I have Opinions on this place as a zoo. Feeding the predators live prey?? There's other ways to provide enrichment! Also that enclosure is way too small for multiple large animals like that! Electric fences? Ha! Electric fences won't stop a fucking goat! Where's the zoo experts? Who designed these enclosures?? Were all zoos this shitty in the 90s???

This t-rex is so happy to be tearing a car apart and pushing it over a cliff! She's got so much energy! She needs healthy outlets! Where the fuck is her enrichment team???

#i love this post #both because it's funny and good #and because it gets right to the heart of the problem #jurassic park wasn't designed as a zoo #it was designed as a theme park #the amazing scientific advances? #the miracle of real live dinosaurs? #it meant nothing #the lives of the creatures themselves were nothing #just the means for a rich old white man to get even richer #hammond was never doing it for the children #the kindly old grandpa facade was a lie #he was a billionaire doing what billionaires do #and this is way too much rant for a post that made me laugh #but here we are 

ok but these tags tho

[luxlightly]

This is actually a big part of the book! The fact that the people designing and working with the animals aren’t considering the inherently chaotic nature of living things, they overlook obvious and simple mistakes that cause huge problems. They just expect everything to “work” and be normal and don’t take into account the vast differences between the park and a zoo and between a place of entertainment and a place meant to properly house and care for animals. That’s why Malcom being a chaos theory scientist is so relevant. 

In the book, Hammond is a much darker character, as well. Movie Hammond is misguided and sort of buying his own sales pitch about this place being so magical and that leads him to overlooking or ignoring the danger out of a sort of naivety. Book Hammond is just kind of an awful person. He rejects all advice and warnings from everyone even when the danger becomes very apparent to others. He wants to control every aspect of the park and it’s just not possible,especially since he also wants everything to be automated for ‘effiency’. He makes the classic mistake of thinking that containing animals is making sure there’s “no way they could possibly escape”, which anyone who works with animals knows is not possible to achieve, instead of “make it so the animals are contented and happy and don’t feel the need to try to escape”.

[rhysintherain]

"Look at this really badly run zoo" could have been the subtitle of the book, honestly. That's the premise behind most of my favorite moments in the books.

Velociraptors are social animals, with learned traits they didn't learn at the park. The park's raptors don't know how to work as a team or live in a pack, because they had no adults to teach them. That's why you have adult raptors keeping the juveniles away from the food, or attacking baby raptors.

The deterioration of the 2nd island's dinosaur population was due to a prion disease. Park organisers bought the cheapest feed (derived from scrapie infected sheep) without considering the consequences, and the populations were collapsing because a prion disease called DX had become endemic.

None of the people running the park understood the biology of the animals they were keeping. They were concerned with having a static, point-in-time population, not a functioning ecosystem. So when the dinosaurs started breeding, they had no idea what to do.

Similarly, they were more interested in the environments as dioramas for visitor viewing than as ecosystems for the animals. They kept predators isolated and tossed all the herbivores together ("it's not like they're gonna eat each other!") rather than studying their behavior to decide which dinosaurs to put where.

They picked plants based on the prehistoric aesthetic they wanted rather than their actual properties. Remember the sick triceratops? It was sick because it ate a poisonous plant. Ellie figured that out because her area of study was paleobotany. She also figured out that some of the plants around the family-friendly swimming pool were highly toxic. Nobody double checked the plants they used for their impacts on visitors or the dinosaurs.

They had hundreds of animals and no staff ecologists. They had 1 veterinarian. Instead of having paleontologists on staff, they had a big game hunter. All their biologists worked in the lab. They built everything like theme park rides because automation kept labor costs down and made secrecy easier.

The whole point was to demonstrate how spectacularly a project can fail if new scientific advances are used for profit before they're properly understood. That said, you could make an argument for dinosaurs being a novel way to highlight the shortcomings of for-profit zoos in general. A tiger eating the visitors isn't as headline-grabbing as a T-Rex, but it's still very much a possibility if you decide to show tigers without any understanding of their behavior or ecology.

[geekgirles]

From a narrative standpoint, given the similarities between the college trio and our favourite trio, it's a pity that Vlad never took a personal interest in Danny and Sam's relationship as a result of how similar Sam is to Maddie and their respective relationships.

After all, both Maddie and Sam are reasonable, level-headed, and intelligent, even though they're not above getting carried away with their own interests (ghosts for Maddie, and her causes for Sam). They're also the moral backbone of their respective groups, as well as the most physically fit and capable member/fighter without ghost powers. Hell, they both have purple eyes!

And think about it, Vlad's obsession with Danny is a direct result of him being the second halfa in existence and Maddie's son. Vlad sees both himself and what could have been in Danny, which is why he's so desperate to have him renounce Jack as his father in favour of him.

So with that in mind, wouldn't it have made sense for him to become invested in his relationship with Sam upon being reminded of him and Maddie? To try and manipulate the circumstances in a twisted attempt to look out for Danny and to guarantee they end up together and the boy doesn't suffer the same fate as him?

That would also add a more understandable and impactful obstacle to their relationship that would justify how long it took them to end up together beyond shyness and the fear of ruining their friendship. With Vlad taking an interest in them, Danny and Sam would be wrecked with doubt over if what they feel for each other is real or a result of Vlad's manipulations. With having to come to terms with the fact that, no, Vlad had nothing to do with it, being the driving force behind them getting together.

I don't know. Just some food for thought.

[iceandjunk]

The funny thing is, Vlad is so caught up in the similarities between him and Danny as halfas, that he misses that Danny isn’t a parallel to him.

Danny is a parallel to Jack. Hyperfocused, yet a bit of a goofball. Not the best at book smarts, but incredibly brilliant when motivated and when the chips are down, but much better at improvisation and spontaneity

The real parallel to Vlad is Tucker, the third wheel. Brilliant in an intellectual sense, but distracted by his own obsessions and quirks. Strong emotional ties to the other two members of the trio, but not as strong as they have towards each other.

Plus, both of them are driven by Envy- as seen in the episode where Tucker develops ghost powers. The only difference is, Tucker conquered those demons, while Vlad didn’t.

I may be misremembering, but I find that interesting.

[geekgirles]

YOU! YOU GET IT!

Sorry it's taken me this long to reply, I literally just saw your reblog, don't ask me why.

But yessssss, I never got around to writing it down, but that one scene from Parental Bonding where Tucker reacts to Sam's dress always made me think the writers would have (intentionally or unintentionally) created parallels between the main and college trios if they had actually gone through a love triangle arc like the one between Jack, Maddie, and Vlad.

With the main difference being that Tucker would have eventually moved on and chosen his friends, rather than wallow in his misery and obsess over what could have been like Vlad did.

I'm also super glad you pointed this out, because I recently saw a take about how Danny is the Vlad of the group, while Tucker is Jack, and how that justifies that, alongside many other superficial reasons, he and Sam should have ended up together and I was like, "...are you sure we're watching the same show?"

So, yes! Thank you for this addition.

[iceandjunk]

Hey, no worries! I don't mind the wait! And i honestly fail to see any parallels between Tucker and Jack- Even as early on as Attack of the Killer Garage Sale, Danny is the one who keeps trying to brute force attack Technus, while Tucker is the one who makes the plan. Tucker is the planner and schemer, Danny is the brute who pulls off the plan, and Sam is the one who actually handles the resources and enabling the plan to happen. It's a stretch, but this is similar to what we know of Vlad, Jack, and Maddie as a trio, respectively. Though admittedly, we don't have much direct insight into their dynamics in canon.
