This also reminds me that in the grand scheme of things, nothing really significant changes between the ending of Fallen Kingdom and the ending of Dominion.Nah, everything's cool. No human casualties either since Maise released them, it was a very peaceful affair.
Dodgson was only a threat to that chair he beat the hell out of in that one scene.
Keep in mind: morally right characters can't die by a dinosaur's hand in the Jurassic Park franchise anymore, it sends a bad message and you don't want kids to feel sad. Only bad people can die. Especially the bad people. Can't show dinosaurs kill good people like past movies because they are perfectly innocent, harmless creatures.
Maisie's nanny? I didn't about know that.

TL;DR - Zara's death and its controversy (while justified, mind you) has done reprehensible damage to the franchise and made Colin Trevorrow chicken out on killing any other ethical character by dino chow. See that one servant lady from Fallen Kingdom whose death scene by the Indoraptor was cut and now she just disappears from the movie altogether.
J.A. Bayona directed Fallen Kingdom so it would have been his call to cut it but either way I think you're right. I don't remember there being a huge amount of backlash over Zara's death but it did seem a bit too mean-spirited for an innocent character. I also don't think shying away from killing any non-villainous characters in Fallen Kingdom and Dominion was the proper response to that (with the exception of Cromwell's character in FK who wasn't even killed by a dinosaur). After all, the series as a whole is no stranger to killing off characters who didn't deserve it. Besides Zara, Eddie in TLW and the guy in JP3 who wasn't even a real mercenary who got a claw to the back and his neck snapped by a raptor come to mind.Yep. Here's a BTS pic of it:
I always found it odd that her character had just vanished from the movie without explanation, but after learning about this, it made sense. Trevorrow likely wanted to avoid another Zara situation as pointed out in my previous post.
Would've been better than anything in the movie tbh
And yet surprisingly it's the only one of the original three movies to paint the raptors in a somewhat sympathetic light even after they pull that stunt since they only want their eggs back. When you think about it, it's actually shocking that the raptors didn't straight up murder Alan and the others after that whole ordeal in the end. Like, the raptors would be completely justified in killing the lot of them after they chased them across the island for their eggs. Unless of course they knew that Billy, the ***hole that took them in the first place, wasn't there with them so they figured it wasn't worth it.
It's an improvement over the theatrical cut but I still wouldn't consider it "good".

Looks like it's just shy of $2 million away from it.
