So fans hold that series very dear as one of their most fond nostalgic memories. You think they will accept all of the sudden that universe establishing this other species is much better?

It´s like putting another new lion in the Lion King that will always humilliate Simba and Simba can never beat him. You really think TLK fans will react well to that?

You also dont get, that fans wanted a rematch, not  a nod, not a tag team neither an old Rex getting nearly knocked out for whatever reason.

It is not an obssesion, it is a reaction to a radical change. I love the T Rex too (and I grew up with JP and TLW) but it isn't invincibe.

I called it a obessesion because it has been 15 years since JP3. Can't help but think about the title of the main song from Frozen "Let It Go". No one is saying the T Rex is invincible. No one. What we are saying is we dont like it getting humilliated so quickly.

And the issue being 15 years old does not make it any better or more enjoyable. (Many still hate the Star Wars prequels 17 years later and they have every right to feel that way) You also don´t quite get that the issue will never go away (unless there is a clear rematch) because of the way the films are designed. First 2 films make us see the Rex as this glorious icon and the last 2 do everything in their power to establish it was never really great. Every new kid that sees the films will have more or less the same reactions we are having. And also note that it is not just kids who hated that fight, adults too still hate it and need a rematch. Even casual fans (I have many friends who are very casual JP fans and they all agree a rematch is needed. No one likes when icons are retconned period.

Again, you are so focused on telling us to let it go that you are not quite getting it yet. Try to put yourself in our mindset. By the way, if it´s so easy for you to ´´let this go´´ and if you were never really affected at all by the JP3 fight. Then sorry to break it down to you but, you never really felt that much affection towards the T Rex in the first place.
