I was rewatching Jurassic Park (the og) and realized that Lex is great ptsd representation and I don’t it’s entirely on purpose. Like after the lawyer abandons her and Tim in the car, and then later when Grant says he’s going to leave, she says “He left us” or something along the lines of that, and the acting there was just amazing because ptsd isn’t all coming home from war and being scared of microwave popcorn, it can be like with Lex, where you’re stuck on a last event, and even in a scenario where it doesn’t exactly apply or make sense, mentally you’re still there, and your brain is recognizing the pattern of what happened then being similar to a current situation and freaking the hell out.

Or the scene where they’re all in the tree, and as soon as Lex sees the herbivores, she screams and starts backing away. Even after Tim explains that they’re herbivores (or veggysaurus’, in his words), she is still terrified. And that’s so real. With my ptsd episodes, it doesn’t have to make perfect sense. Logically, I know that a cup breaking or someone raising their voice doesn’t mean my abuser is there too, I know that, but my body still reacts, and that’s exactly what Lex shows.

What stands out to me is how Grant handles it. In the first incident, he doesn’t call her dumb, just leave, or anything, he provides the reassurance that HE won’t leave her, acknowledging that past scenario happened, and showing her how it’s different. In the second, Grant understands as well, but he knows she isn’t in any active harm, and I think he was trying to do a monkey-eats-the-berries scenario by feeding the herbivore leaves, showing it won’t harm them, and not forcing her to feed it with him, but letting her maintain that distance and form her own opinion with a new, positively reinforced scenario.

moral of the story: Lex is awesome and dinosaurs are cool and be like Grant

So I’m just getting in the Jurassic park/world franchise (I’ve only seen the first two Jurassic park movies) and I’m really confused on why people call the Dino’s villains when in every movie (that I’ve seen) there’s always been a person that causes the issues with the dinosaurs

In the first movie it was Nedry for cutting power to the park and leaving them with no way of turning it back on without him, while he knew there were, not only defenseless people out there, but also children, all because he wasn’t getting paid enough. and let’s be honest there’s no way he wasn’t getting paid more than most people in any other jobs, I mean he was practically running the mechanics of the park and even if Hammond didn’t fully grasp that he at least paid him enough already for him, a very rich guy, to not want to pay him more. Sure, you could argue that he’s rich and would of course be greedy but either way not being paid enough isn’t a reason to get three people, including himself, killed.

In the second it was somewhat both Hammond and Peter Ludlow. Hammond for sending the crew to the island in the first place after knowing first hand the dangers of the Dinos when they’re free (though he was in a cushy safe room the entirety of the first movie), and ludlow because he was trying to exploit the dinosaurs for profit and had the glorious idea of being a t-Rex to the mainland after he had spent more time in danger than Hammond had! And Hammond had seen the errors of his ways of trying to make a profit off of these very dangerous creatures.

I don’t know as much about the world movies, but I do know that the indominus was kept in a cage from birth and her DNA was made from two different apex predators. This is touched upon in the camp Cretaceous show on Netflix, but the doctor who made her (who I forget his name sry) made many more Dinos like her, combining predators, and experimented on them for a chance at profits. From what I know of the indominus, she was an animal that didn’t know what she was other than a caged predator, and let’s remember in the first ever movie dr. Grant bringing up a very important point that the Dinos don’t want to be hand fed, they want to hunt, and when she got out, she was able to hunt. (Though I do know she didn’t eat all that she caught, but that could be more from her killing instincts from not one but two different predators that have very different hunting styles)

All in all, the dinosaurs are animals that don’t belong in these times. They were reborn to be made as entertainment and to make money. The dinosaurs are essentially a euphemism to animal abuse that leads the an animal fighting back. A dog will bite the hand that feeds it if the hand hurts it too

Again this is just me ranting about how I don’t think the dinos could be called the villains, because really in every movie it’s been human error that led to people dying
