Fans don´t like the dinosaur they loved in the first 2 films for being the most dominant predator re established as a scavanger that will always be taken down by Spinosauruses with ease. That´s why a rematch is needed to correct that. Fans did not like that the dino they grew up with was now established as a wimp in the very next film. It is really surprising how some people have such a hard time getting it. I personally never seen the T.rex as a wimp. Yes he lost a fight and I'm sure the species won and lost fights in real life as every big animals have.

Yes it will always be our childhood icon but take a deep breath and say, "It's just a film." and move on. If you actually see the making of JP3 bonus features on the DVD you will clearly see that the filmmakers intention was to clearly establish that the Spinosaurus species is much much much stronger than the T Rex species and can take them down in a few seconds without breaking a sweat. So that puts down the ´´oh it was just one fluke fight´´ argument. The filmmakers intention was clear and blatant. To establish that this species is far greater than the other hands down. Their intention was not ´´oh let´s just throw this random fight here just for the heck of it´´.

The previous film established the T Rex as ´´the greatest predator that ever lived. In the very next one Jack Horner clearly says they were trying to portray the T Rex as a scavanger and that the Spino is the species that hunts it.

Also, it being ´´just a film´´ does not mean fans can not really like or dislike something in that film. Im sorry that just sounds like you can not really like any piece of art whatsoever ´´oh, it´s just a song´´ so I can not really like it that much?. To you it is ´´just a film´´. To others it might be their most fond childhood memory. What´s so wrong with fans wanting a detail in their favorite franchise to be like when it made their fondest memories great? Much in the same way one can say ´´Oh it´s just a singer´´ yeah, to you it is but to others his music got them through tough times in life. Who are you to say ´´just move on´´ it´s just a singer´´.

I have seen the ´´just move on´´ argument so much in this thread it almost feels like being told by Jurassic Park fans that you have to be indifferent towards the Jurassic Park films. Seriously that´s the vibe you are giving.

By the way, tell that to hardcore Star Wars fans, or fans of any franchise, or any artist for that matter. Tell them ´´It´s just a movie, move on´´. Or ´´its just a singer, move on´´. You will not get favorable reactions. So take a deep breath, and just come to piece with the fact that not everyone feels as indifferent as you feel and that fans have every right to really like or dislike something even if it´s ´´just a piece of art´´.
