Spoilery for Jurassic World Dominion 

Okay so something about JP is they really REALLY build the 'raptors up. I'm trying to remember if II-III had quite the equivalent. And with Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom you knew what might be the big adversaries from early in the movie.

Dominion winds up feeling a lot more haphazard. Giganotosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus get at least a brief blurb on what they are... but so does Dreadnoughtus, which winds up not really DOING anything in the movie. I happen to recognize Therezinosaurus - but she's never named, and there's no explanation that she might in fact be a herbivore as currently thought. Dilophosaurus gets this menacing role in the movie - but it's not like oooh, we've known from 2 minutes in that they're bad news. Pyroraptor and Dimetrodon show up to be a danger and then never enter the movie again. It's so completely opposite a lot of earlier in the franchise, you know?
