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 doesn't to me.

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.
