Recently I rewatched JP and was a little disappointed by game warden Robert Muldoon's lack of screentime and overall badassery. There were a few moments in the movie that were rightfully Muldoon's, but were instead given to Ellie Sattler. Not to say that Muldoon wasn't awesome in the film, but I honestly feel like Spielberg didn't take advantage of the character's potential. My theory is that because Bob Peck was diagnosed with cancer beforehand, Spielberg did not want to make fans love Muldoon too much, simply because Bob would not live to be in any sequels. It's a sad, depressing theory, but it's the only explanation I could find.

In TLWJP, we recieve a new badass hunter by the name of Roland Tembo. This man was amazing. He led an army of hunters to wrangle up dozens of wild dinosaurs, broke a man's jaw for harassing a waitress, and even tranquilized a buck T-rex. To top it all off, he survived. And he looked good doing it. Is it possible that Spielberg wanted to pass some of book Muldoon's traits onto Roland Tembo, in order to make up for the abundance of missed opportunities in the film?
