"DRIVE FASTER, DRIVE FASTER! ITS RIGHT BEHIND US!!"

Is easily what I see M16A1 saying in this pic. Either that or she's sobbing "Must drive faster, must drive faster!"

Wasn't this the literal plot of the last 2 Jurassic World movies? Why do people keep trying to weaponize dinosaurs in the laziest way possible?

Not really, what I took away from the last two JW movies was "never splice Raptor DNA into anything because it becomes an evil super genius."

It wasn't raptor DNA, it was people DNA. They kept trying to make human-dinosaur hybrids for some reason.

Probably the same reason why they tried to capture Alien etc...Weaponizing them.

I still don't get why we need to weaponize xenomorphs. Yeland-Wutani has synths, advanced robotics and an implied monopoly over several industries, including its own private security division.

The alien is a giant space hornet that is incredibly hard to contain or control, with acidic blood, an extremely fast cycle from facehugger to fully-grown murder hornet on legs, along with the ability to create nests in sensitive areas, like the fucking coolant pipes.

Can't the alien or dinosaurs be natural creatures that we find and try to contain not knowing what we are dealing with and they escape? Why does everything have to be a fucking conspiracy by some corporation.

Couple dozen colonial marines tear through a xenomorph nest like a hot-knife through butter. When you think about just *how many* things had to go wrong in "Aliens" for it to even be a fight, you have to wonder what is so scary about these things. Yeah, they're awful when they're taking on unarmed colonists or space truckers, but when you get right down to it, humans are *way* scarier.

Truly, weaponizing dinosaurs and aliens seems to be way too expensive and risky compared to the system we already have in place.
It's not like it's even cheaper to produce those creatures compared to producing human soldiers...

And when we get a scenario where we produce artificial humans and/or humanoid robots, makes one wonder...

WHY?

Bit late to this conversation but there definitely weren’t any human/dino hybrids. Colin Trevorrow said that there wouldn’t be any under his watch. https://mobile.twitter.com/colintrevorrow/status/1034693967231807488?lang=en
