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. I really do feel affection towards the JP T Rex but that one Rex's death didn't bother me to much because it was just one random Rex. Rexy from the original film is my icon not the species in general but sure, every Rex are awesome. I'm a Spino fan as well. Also Alan Grant is a JP icon of mine.

Could have the Rex won in JP3? Sure it could have but it didn't sadly.

Remember in the game Operation Genesis, if you forced the Rex and Spino to fight the results weren't that the Spino would always be victorious, the Rex could also be the winner. That's one reason that I refused to get caught up in wanting a rematch because that game showed me (and a lot) that the results could always be fair. And yes the game isn't canon but that did not never bothered me. Every time a Rex won in the game those moments were my rematch.

If they did the rematch the Rex will definitely win as you said but not every fan wants a rematch. From my experiance on JP Legacy, Outpost, Mainframe most fans thought the rematch would be pointless. Yeah but their intention was not to just take down one random Rex but to show that this new species was much much stronger than that species. That´s what pissed people off. And Operation Genesis does not count at all because of it being non canon.

About what fans on forums like Jurassic Park Legacy and Mainframe are saying about the rematch. You have to be very careful using them as proof because you have to take into account that both JP Legacy and Mainframe (most mods there are from JP Legacy) banned the topic and the 6 or 7 moderators there mocked anyone who dared to show the slightest support of the rematch and acted like a rematch would be the worst thing ever.

So they did everything they could within their powers to créate this impression almost nobody wants the rematch and pretty much created a culture within the fanbase that if you dare to support the rematch you are very unwelcomed in the fanbase and you will be shut down.

So how do you expect the many who wanted the rematch to feel? Most felt like they could not express their desire for the rematch for fear they would be banned in an instant and be mocked as mindless inmature children. So you have to look at that context when you mention how many fans want the rematch in major JP fórums.

You were there, I don´t know if you remember this one time where there was this discussion about how fans felt about the JW fight. And I dared to say that it did not give the Rex the exact redemption that a rematch would have done (for the reasons I have explained here) and a mod told me ´´Enough, Rexy had her redemption in JW´´ and overall telling me that I have no right to not agree with the ´´redemption´´ that was given to Rexy in JW and that I have to accept that like it is, and like it because he tells me so. So how do you expect those who want the rematch to feel after seeing that?

Take all that into account and you will see why you did not see that many fans in JP Legacy expressing support for the rematch. There are plenty of them who would like to see it but due to those circumstances you saw very few of them in that forum

So you cant take forums in wich the topic is banned as proof of how many don´t want it if those who want it cant even talk about it. Don´t base your opinion on just a few moderators who only say the rematch is ´´pointless´´ because they have not even taken the time to actually read the reasons and context behind it.
