You can't omit the '93 film from an explanation because she was only in the '93 film, not couunting JW. Anyway, you also can't explain the impact of the JP franchise without mentioning the '93 film, Marshall. That's my point, as I stated here:

Rexy just seems way too popular for what she is. I'd say it's because of nostalgia, but that's incredibly biased.

Try explaining to someone born in the 2000's who Rexy is without mentioning the 1993 film. I meant to say that a description of Rexy would be quite different if you were just using Jurassic World as a source. Well, she does a ton of badass stuff from JW, but it gets people excited because they enjoyed her so much in the original, and not just because of nostalgia. It's because people enjoy the character and remember her badassery.
