And secondly, what if they’re not like how you describe them in Jurassic World III? Then that would be a ret-con of sorts, and would beg the question why even bring them back at all if you are going to change what they are like? and yes they are pandering.

Think about some of the other characters we have had in the series and what we learnt about them during the films.

Grant = He starts the film loving dinos and hating kids and by the films end this is reversed. We learn that he is so passionate about his dig site work that he is willing to do something he really did not want to do in order to fund it and keep it going. In jp1 he was the star of the show despite being in his 40s with a dad bod and an average face ( that last part is more a casting thing than a personality trait I know, but it had an ' every man ' feel to it, he was not a buff handsome ex army guy like Owen, but that is what people want in this day and age, action and hunky leading men )

Malcolm =  we learn that he is some sort of math genius, that he is very quirky and eccentric. That he loves kids so much he will even adopt a black child into his white family. That he will face an island full of hungry dinos ( AGAIN ) to save the woman he loves.

Mulddon = That he is a serious man who is not moved by wonder, he openly wants to destroy all the raptors because he saw first hand how dangerous they are and he does not care how much they cost to make or how amazing a creature they are, he puts saftey first.

Now, what do we learn about Zia and Franklin? ..........

In fact, what use were they on the expedition at all? Zia was somehow a qualified dinosaur vet that had NEVER SEEN A DINOSAUR and all franklin did was plug in a few wires and fiddle with some buttons, he could have wrote down what they needed to do and one of the mercenaries could have done it.

To me, this just proves they was thrown into the script because they wanted a shy nerd and strong female character.
