Am I the Only One who Thinks the New Mutated Dinosaur (The D-Rex) Looks Amazing?

A lot of people are a bit iffy about this new creature in Jurassic World Rebirth, but I personally love it. There's something about its silhouette that looks genuinely intimidating, and I love the idea of a grotesque creature that isn't a hybrid but rather a deformed clone of an already existing dinosaur—a prototype created by Hammond and the original InGen scientists before the events of the first Jurassic Park film.

I appreciate that it's not a carbon copy of the Indominus rex, Indoraptor, or Scorpius rex; instead, it is its own unique entity that takes inspiration from creatures outside the Jurassic franchise, like the Xenomorph and Rancor. It doesn't feel like anything we've seen in the franchise before, and I personally find that really refreshing. This is uncharted territory for the franchise, and I'm excited to see where it goes. It was also apparently inspired by actual mutations from real life failed clones so that's the plus in my book.

The concept of a deformed clone also makes sense thematically. The line, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should," resonates here. The questionable decisions made by those same scientists to try and bring back dinosaurs have led to the creation of this grotesque prototype monstrosity. This isn't an animal, this is a freakish monster, a step on John Hammond’s path, an unnatural example of trial and error to create something that was never supposed to be alive in the modern day.

Furthermore, I love how strange and unorthodox it looks—the presence of six limbs, even though all vertebrates evolved to have four, the weird, unnatural form of locomotion, the large bulbous head, and the sheer size of it all contribute to an overall impression that this isn't a creature that should exist. It's so freakishly deformed that you couldn't even classify it as a dinosaur. I also like the head dome; it reminds me of a beluga whale.
