Anyone else think there is a chance the I-Rex survived the Mosasaur? On both viewings I found it strange the way we don't actually see the I-Rex die and things just tend to go quiet once they both go under the water.
depends whether Henry Wu also used wolverine-dna for it. it has big claws, so it might just bust it's way out of the mosa inside-out.
either way, it's best killed off like it was and not to come back. that makes the character much stronger and more lasting/praised, instead of it returning to 'milk it' to the bone and totally take away it's character strenght from JW.
Either way i'm just sad there's 1 poor little raptor left.
Something that crossed my mind though; the original Jurassic Park movie's T-Rex supposedly was born in 1990, and an adult by 1993, as it clearly was an adult in the Jurassic Park movie. The JW movie takes place 22 years later, thus the Rex is 25 years old.
The oldest found T-Rex (Sue) was 28 years of age, whilst multiple findings show usually rexes die within 6 years after sexual maturity. Sue supposedly reached full growth at 19 years of age, so the death around 6 years is close in this one, 9 to be precise. That makes Rexy already 6 years into 'normal', whilst being bred 'bastardised' and living in captivity, and having had some run-ins with other predators (raptors) etc.
I don't know what they're going to do with the again-trashed island, obviously rexy is roaming free now, roaring at the top of concrete structures. But, he's 3 years short of the oldest found Rex specimen.
As sad as that may be, i really hope they find a way to keep this legend alive. I'm just sad it's been living alone for it's entire life.
