I have to say I went with neither even though T Rex has always been my favourite because well it is more of an antihero in the original film though I don't know why Gennaro deserved to be eaten sure he was all about the money but doesn't mean the guy deserved death thats like saying Ray Arnold deserved to die cause he smoked and Muldoon deserved to die because he said even Nedry wasn't stupid enough to turn off the raptor fences. Rexy does kill The Big One and saves the heroes but to be honest Rexy could just have easily made a meal out of Dr Grant if she wanted to which is why they all run when she does attack the raptors. The T Rex's in The Lost World well yes they do try to kill the people trying to help their infant and eat Eddie and then continue to harass the group but from their point of view the humans kidnapped their baby and are now encroaching on their turf so the humans are a perceived threat not really exhibiting either qualities of hero or villain and while the infant eats Ludlow doesn't really make it a hero for eating a bloke. In JPIII well we all know that was the studios call to have a different threat and in press release if you say you have a Spinosaurus fighting a T Rex who wouldn't want to see that (even if it was very biased thanks to the studio) so all in all the T Rex's in the franchise although they may do things that seem heroic or villanous it doesn't really mean they are either as all seem to have done both sorts of acts so for me they are neither protagonists nor antagonists but I never really look at supposed heroes and villains as being that black and white you know theres always a grey area I mean if you look at Nedry and Hammond in the novel you can understand why Nedry did what he did (not saying its right but Hammond is a much bigger douche in the novel).
