User blog comment:TheReturnOfTheKing/Jurassic Park 4: Whatever Happened To Our Hero, Rexy?/@comment-86.133.28.53-20130612193809

T. rex should remain prominent in the series always, not only because he is a brilliant anti-hero, but also because he's a dinosaur that everyone knows. You say Tyrannosaurus and everyone knows what you are referring to. Despite his large role in the third film, you say Spinosaurus to the average person they'll just say "What?" and then you've got to say "You know, the one that killed T. rex in Jurassic Park three" and they'll either go "Oh, that one" or "never saw it."

It's the same with just about every other big meat eating Dinosaur, be it Giganotosaurus, Allosaurus or whatever. We know them, but to most people only the fact that "saurus" was in the name indicates that these things might be Dinosaurs.

If its about keeping T. rex fresh, then fine there's stuff that can be done with it. Evidence suggests that some Tyrannosaurids like Albertosaurus may have hunted in packs. How terrifying would it be for the films human characters to be surrounded by an adult female T. rex and three or four sub-adults?

If you really want to get rid of the main animal that is T. rex then I say get rid of the Raptors too. If T. rex is done, then surely they're done too. They've had a large role in three films, let someone else have a go.
