Warning : SPOILERS Below forJurassic World : Fallen Kingdom
-
Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdomis a biz - record changer - not just because it ends by coiffe up a Dinopocalypse , but because it totally retcons the originalJurassic Park . When Colin Trevorrow take over as the architect of the enfranchisement and contrive a newJurassic Worldtrilogy , his ideas included ultimately doing away with the very concept for Jurassic Park itself . WithFallen Kingdom(which was co - publish by Trevorrow and directed by J.A. Bayona ) , the Jurassic saga has taken a big footmark onward and provide the classic park behind for good .
The original concept for Jurassic Park , authored by the late Michael Crichton in his best - selling novel , was a simple and hefty idea : what if there was an island theme park full of living dinosaurs ? Crichton constructed a parable warning about the dangers of genetic manipulation and cloning , and both in the novel and Steven Spielberg ’s 1993 mega - blockbuster adaptation , the park is overrun by the dinosaurs before it ever give . The next two sequel kept the action contained , this clip on a neighboring island also occupy with dangerous dinosaurs , except for a T - Rex that ’s transported to the mainland and terrorise San Diego inThe Lost World : Jurassic Park .

WithJurassic World , Colin Trevorrow easy rebooted the franchise to show what Spielberg did n’t . fan have to see the motif park fully operational and filled with happy node - until thehybrid dinosaurIndominus rex get under one’s skin loose and ultimately get the quietus of the dinosaurs to elude and infest the island . Now , Fallen Kingdomdoes away with the Jurassic Park idea altogether - the island of Isla Nublar is literally destroyed by an break out volcano and the dinosaurs are brought into the rest of the human beings .
However , Jurassic World 2also change the very origins of Jurassic Park itself so that thing are n’t quite the way fan remembered them from the original film . Here ’s howFallen Kingdomretconned the 1993 classic to make it accommodate the newfangled narrative of the dealership :
Who Was John Hammond?
Will the literal John Hammond please stand up ? The"father of Jurassic Park"has now been retconned double , and thus , it ’s difficult for fans to get a clear picture of the former billionaire . In Michael Crichton ’s novel , John Hammond was really one of the villains ; he was a insensate , unpitying CEO who wanted to overwork the genetically engineer dinosaurs strictly for profit instead of using the technology to help Mankind . Hammond even states,“Personally , I would never aid Mankind . "
However , in theJurassic Parkmovies , John Hammond was retconned to be the opposite of Crichton ’s adaptation . As portray by the late Sir Richard Attenborough , Hammond was a kindly ( though misguided ) altruist whose goal with Jurassic Park was to"capture the resourcefulness of the whole planet . “True , he also wanted to profit from his venture , but in a telltale moment with Dr. Ellie Sattler ( Laura Dern ) , Hammond confessed his start as a promoter run a motorized flea circus and block up his individual that with the dinosaurs , he wanted to show the world"something real . “When confronted with the dangers of the dinosaur let loose and overrunning the island , Hammond remove the erroneousness of his way and escaped with his family and guests . InThe lose World(the second and final show of Attenborough ) , Hammond was penitent and insisted the dinosaur be left alone on the island so that nature could take its course .

Jurassic Worldhonored the now - deceased Hammond as the father of the green with a statue , but there ’s already a thin retcon when Simon Masrani , the car park ’s new owner ( who died in the picture ) , said that Hammond intrust him with"his cash in one’s chips wish"to see the park open - which contradict how Hammond felt the animals should be kept sequester from Mankind the last time fans actually saw the old billionaire in 1997 .
Fallen Kingdomchanges Hammond ’s level yet again by revealing he had a hitherto unmentioned business pardner - a fellow billionaire dinosaur partisan advert Benjamin Lockwood ( James Cromwell ) , who echoed Hammond ’s later ideas of leave the dinosaur alone . The ailing Lockwood and Hammond had a falling out overJurassic World 2 ’s big gimmick : Lockwood habituate the transmissible technology to clone his numb daughter . Hammond resist at Lockwood ’s architectural plan , though the details and reasoning behind their argumentation ( why is cloning dinosaurs okay but cloning people are n’t ? ) are leave mirky by the picture . in the end , Hammond rationalise Lockwood out of his Jurassic Park plans while Lockwood went ahead and cloned his daughter anyway ( mayhap wait until after Hammond had died to do so ) . However , Fallen Kingdomseems to imply Hammond was more of a scientist than his previous depictions as a seer and financier argue .
Basically , John Hammond has become less of a character and more of a malleable plot equipment whose ' fable ' is altered to suit whatever the dealership ’s unexampled story needs Jurassic Park ’s founding father to be . It ’s true , a billionaire of Hammond ’s age and accomplishments must have led a complicated life , but the lineament as it stands now feels discrepant with early depictions .

InGen And Henry Wu Are Totally Changed
Another key plump for character who was vary byJurassic World ’s reboot was Dr. Henry Wu ( B.D. Wong ) . Introduced as InGen Corporation ’s genius geneticist responsible for really clone the dinosaur from deoxyribonucleic acid extract from mosquitos frozen in gold , Wu was a bit player inJurassic Parkwho only spoke a few lines during a tour of his genetics science lab . He was much more fleshed out in the novel , which highlighted his backcloth and his antagonistic relationship with his employer John Hammond . Wu also conk in the novel , whereas his cinematic counterpart survived .
When Wu is reintroduced inJurassic World , he appears much more ominous and depend . It had been 22 year since the original film ’s cataclysm , and apparently , while Wu ’s genius remains instrumental , he is more self - serving and villainous . Wu design the Indominus Rex , placating the Modern possessor Simon Masrani ’s demands for a newfangled , more vicious intercrossed dinosaur that would draw visitors to the park , but he never divulge which dino DNA he mix into his novel creation . Wu scarper the autumn of Jurassic World , take the dino embryo with him , but impart behind evidence that he was working on yet another , even more life-threatening cross -the Indoraptor . Wu surfaces inFallen Kingdomworking for Eli Mills ( Rafe Spall ) , the shifty right - hand man of Ben Lockwood , and their plan for the Indoraptor are all about sell clones to arms dealers and rogue nation - states for millions in personal earnings .

what is more , Jurassic Worldretconned Hammond ’s caller InGen , which was originally a bio - genetics firm . InGen became a subsidiary of the Masrani Global but was reintroduced as a military outfit and weapons manufacturer led by Vic Hoskins ( Vincent D’Onofrio ) and use Owen Grady ( Chris Pratt ) . InGen ’s new goal is to weaponize the dinosaur for lucre . After Hoskins died and the Masrani potbelly kick the bucket through financial chaos following the Jurassic World calamity , it ’s unclear what the status of InGen is now ; Robert Mills hired an unknown chemical group of mercenary and animal trafficker to take the dinosaurs off Isla NublarFallen Kingdom . With Lockwood and Mills also stagnant by the conclusion ofJurassic World 2 , it seem like InGen has been relegate toJurassichistory . Henry Wu is apparently the last living connectedness to what was once John Hammond ’s corporate bequest .
Fallen Kingdom Ended Everything About Jurassic Park
The posters advertisingFallen Kingdomboasted taglines announcing"The Park Is Gone " - and they were not kidding . Jurassic World 2completely destroy Jurassic Park / World ’s theme parking lot . Suddenly , Isla Nublar was retconned to hold back an active vent . ( InGen ’s geologic research when scouting a location for Jurassic Park in all likelihood should have flagged the possibility that the volcano would cease being dormant ; the real earthly concern explanation is simply that the volcano was invented as a plot gadget forJurassic World 2 ) . By the center ofFallen Kingdom , the volcano has destroyed the island , killing off many of the 18 metal money of dinosaurs that name it home in aheartbreaking tantrum . This also for good discerp the enfranchisement ’s ties to the Jurassic World theme park , which was build over the remains of the original Jurassic Park .
The raw substitution class for theJurassic Worldfranchise has11 surviving species of dinosaurslet loose upon the West Coast of the United States and in unlike voice of the world . In addition , the embryos have also been smuggle out of the land , so the engineering science is out in the wild and more dinosaurs can be bred anyone with the resource to do so . This is the polar reverse of the original concept of Jurassic Park - that the dinosaurs exist in their own island world separate from man . Jurassic World’sgame - transfer endingnow means the dinosaur and humans are forced to co - survive in the mankind of humankind , with the dinosaur weaponized by and against other humans .
Whether or not this is a good direction for theJurassicsaga expire forward is subjective , but it definitely leaves behind the mind of wonder , awe , and even hope thatJurassic Parkoriginally stage to fans . InJurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , the Mungo Park and everything John Hammond once intended for its dinosaur and is human visitors , are really gone for good .
