* Mount Sibo explains many of the things in ''Film/JurassicPark''.

** Plus, what better way for her to celebrate the 25th anniversary of [[Film/JurassicPark the film]] that made her a movie star than chomping down on another deserving AssholeVictim?

* How the ''Indoraptor'' meets his maker is a role-flipped CallBack to [[spoiler: Muldoon's demise in the original ''Film/JurassicPark''. Like Muldoon, the ''Indoraptor'' is so focused on the prey (Owen and Maisie) that's right in front of him that he fails to notice our "clever girl", Blue, sneaking up on him from the side until it's too late.]]

* ''Film/JurassicPark'' was ''twenty-five years ago''. Hammond and Lockwood had their falling out over Lockwood wanting to clone his daughter ''before'' that movie. Maisie in this film is all of twelve or so. Meaning for ''thirteen years'', give or take, Lockwood remained obsessed with cloning his dead daughter, never achieving acceptance or moving on from the loss.

** Which makes him [[IncrediblyLamePun an indoor raptor.]]

* Rexy is shown in the film to ambush her prey without any warning, first with the ''Carnotaurus'' and second with Mills. This is despite the fact that Rexy is infamous for the BadVibrations caused by her footsteps in the first film. Then you realize that her dinosaur kills in that film were also done in the same manner, silent and without warning. Rexy is an experienced hunter and wouldn't make obvious noises to alert her prey. The thunderous footsteps isn't a hunting behavior, it's a territorial behavior. If Rexy was truly hunting the humans in the first film, it is unlikely any of them would have made it off the island alive.
* The fact that the US senate (and by extension humanity) ultimately deems the dinosaurs on Isla nublar, arguably the most critically endangered species on the planet with several of them being the LastOfTheirKind, not worth saving even after having allowed Masrani to create and exploit the dinosaurs for profit for several years. Then how far will that apathy and lack of self-responsibility towards other endangered species go?
** That is some horrendously US centric logic; the views of the US senate quite emphatically do NOT represent the views of humanity. A common comment I’ve heard over the years is that once the US had declared they didn’t intend to intervene, other countries would have said ‘Ok, we will then’ and there would be dinosaur preserves appearing all over the globe.

** Also, consider Wu and Mills are effectively stealng from Masrani, who is indian.

* Maisie's nanny, Iris, seems particularly eager to stay with Maisie after Lockwood's death, before she's fired by Mills, pretty much begging him to allow her to stay. At first, one would think this is because, seconds later, it's revealed that Iris was the nanny of Lockwood's daughter, of whom Maisie is a clone of. However, it gets worse once you realize how clones are born. Although they're pretty much biological copies of the donor, they still have to be carried to term by a parent. Not even the JP dinosaurs were immune to this, with the novels explaining the first batch were carried to term by close relatives of dinosaurs, such as an ostrich or crocodiles. Then you realize that depending on the time of Lockwood's daughter's death, Iris may have been still young enough to give birth. It may have been entirely possible that Mills did more than separate Iris from her charge; he may have separated Iris from her daughter.
** On the subject of Iris, ''what happened to her after she was discharged?''
*** She's likely fine. The auction hadn't quite started when she was dismissed, and it's implied that the first half of it (after which the chaos broke out) lasted a while. If Iris wasn't greatly delayed, she could have been far from the estate before any dinosaurs escaped.

* Many of the sold dinosaurs were simply put into the back of trucks and driven away. Imagine one of them getting into a car crash on the highway. Even without the events in the end, one or several of them could've easily become loose...

*** More indirect but, remember how in the first Jurassic World Hoskins told a story of his keeping a wolf cub which eventually mauled his wife? Lockwood's vision comes to fruition in this movie, and again, the "wolf" cannot be tamed...
* Ian's speech makes it clear that the title "Fallen Kingdom" doesn't just refer to Isla Nublar's destruction. With the dinosaurs loose, it's now OUR animal kingdom that will be completely upended.
* Ian makes the claim that the responsible thing to do about the dinosaur situation is let the volcano erupt and wipe them out as mankind already crossed the line in re-creating them in the first place; the U.S. government agrees, saying they're not responsible for the situation because it was on a privately owned island despite the potential global impact of the dinosaurs escaping or being taken off the island. While this is supposedly the "responsible" thing to do, but it's... really not. Ian, despite his "life finds a way" mantra and personal experience with human greed where genetic engineering dinosaurs is concerned, never seems to entertain the thought that something like, well, Mill's scheme would have been done, nor the governments of the world concerned that someone already attempted to weaponize the ''Indominus rex''. In short, ''no one with the power do anything actually takes responsibility for the dinosaurs'', the unscrupulous exploiters try to use them unethically and the "Jurassic World" that Ian feared comes to pass. However, this doesn't prove Ian's views wrong, if anything it ''really'' drives home that we haven't been able to control technological progress and, like Ian says in his closing speech: unless we actively take responsibility we may be the architects of our own extinction, i.e. doing nothing and deciding to let nature take its course when we've already upset that balance. It's always SomebodyElsesProblem... at first.

* The scene where Maisie escapes from a locked bedroom is filmed and portrayed very similarly to [[spoiler: the scene where the raptors of the first Jurassic Park learn to open doors. This is no coincidence, as it's revealed she is in fact a clone of Lockwood's daughter created by [=InGen=], which led to Hammond and Lockwood's falling out.]]

** What is truly ironic is that the raptors as themselves seem to be naturally heading towards coexisting with humans. The first film showed raptors as the equivalent of wolves, seeing humans as prey. The second film shows the raptors fighting the hunters, or in other words, rival predators. By the third film, the raptors seem to regard humans as semi-equal after Grant communicates with the pack. Fourth film and the raptors seem to reluctantly regard Owen as a leader. By ''Fallen Kingdom'', the raptors (or at least Blue) regard humans as equals. Had Wu just cloned another generation or two of raptors with Blue as the "Loyal Bloodline", he may have had dinosaurs that could have been domesticated.

** If that's true (and it likely is) it's also an explanation for why the Indoraptor attacks the buyers when they're hiding in the elevator... it's alerted to their presence when the redheaded woman in the group screamed.

* Why doesn't Rexy let the ''Carnotaurus'' keep [[spoiler: Mill's leg]] when she already has the rest of his body to herself? Because it's likely the first time in over two decades that the old girl has tasted human flesh, and she wants to savor every bit of it!

* Lockwood and Hammond's falling out is implied to have taken place around the time the original park was developed, as Lockwood hasn't been mentioned in any of the previous movies. Furthermore, Hammond is confirmed to have died shortly after the events of ''The Lost World''. Since the falling out resulted from Lockwood's desire to clone his dead daughter, and Maisie can't be more than 10 years old... how long has Lockwood been trying to clone his daughter? And how many failed versions did he get in the process?

** This would also be why the ''Indoraptor'' takes a few moments before killing Wheatley and a few others it intends to kill to reach out and touch them. It is feeling their emotions and empathizing with them. However, it seems like it is more or less enjoying their misery and feeling their emotions in such a pure, raw fashion is perfectly in line with a 'sadist' ''Indoraptor.''

** The ''I. rex'' was angry and confused, attacking out of frustration, while the ''Indoraptor'' is curious and playful, attacking out of amusement.

*** The ''Triceratops'' in front of Claire and Franklin's pod looked like she was going straight down. Her legs were moving but she clearly could not swim.

** The flying dinosaurs didn't leave the island before because their nests were there; if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Now there's no going back, they'll make new nests.

** Several of the Dinos were sold off and shipped across the world in unknowable containers, to be bred or cloned elsewhere. And Jurassic World has been shown to be notoriously bad at long-term dinosaur containment. Just because there are only dinosaurs loose in North America ''now'', doesn't mean they won't be the only ones sooner or later.
* Many of the sold dinosaurs were simply put into the back of trucks and driven away. Imagine one of them getting into a car crash on the highway. Even without the events in the end, one or several of them could've easily become loose.

** What's downright fitting about Mill's death is that even though he wears glasses to present himself as smart or cultured but ironically, he is clearly short sighted due to him being slow, impatient and lacking of foresight. Because of these traits, he gets killed by Rexy who on the other hand has the flaw with her vision being based on movement but is more successful having the patience, strategic thinking and the initiative to strike fast and hard. A humiliating insult that the dinosaur is smarter than him.
** Small update: ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'' reveals her last human mean was three years ago. Still, it's been a long time and her last meal was killed and swallowed in one bite, meaning that Rexy probably wanted to take her time in eating a human like she did all those decades ago.

* With a laboratory in the same mansion and bringing back the dinosaurs there and the party he'd arranged for the auction and the work he was doing with Wu, Mills must have known he couldn't keep it from Hoskins. So he was willing to kill Hoskins all along, meaning he crossed the MoralEventHorizon years ago, not just now.

* Someone on one of the other pages Joked that the ''Indoraptor'' is a literal Indoor Raptor, which is funny until you realise ''that was the point''. The ''Indoraptor'' isn't just designed as a super-soldier for a battlefield, it's an assassin designed for ''urban'' hunting, designed to hunt targets ''inside'' buildings.

* Why wasn't Rexy already auctioned off? It's very likely as the mos impressive peace among the carnivores, she was scheduled to be rolled out last. What better way to keep a group in their seats for the whole auction than having a fully grown ''Tyrannosaurus'' as your final "item"?

** Colin Treverrow confirmed on twitter that Jurassic World had breeding animals, similar to a modern zoo. This not only allowed Fallen Kingdom to have cute babies but also made a lot more sense for the company financially. It's not hundreds of thousands or millions to replace stock. You throw two animals together have get a potential full clutch of replacements.

* Colin Trevorow revealed on twitter that unlike the original park, Jurassic World had a controlled breeding program. This not only explains how infants are present on Isla Nublar four years later but makes a lot more sense for a long running fully functional preserve. Jurassic Park was a test case where establishing exceptional controls was key to drawing investors. Jurassic World was a proven facility for more than a decade. It also makes much more sense economically. Rather than spending untold amounts of money on producing each healthy infant, they used the much more financially viable option of natural breeding to replace old stock where your only expense is veterinary and maintenance bills. They can also maintain control of the population either by removing eggs they don't want hatching from incubation or if necessary culling surplus stock (an unpleasant but common practice in zoos which can't ship stock around). This also has the added bonus in free the labs up to create new species and work on the hybrid project.

** It's also obviously a mashup of "'''''Indo'''minus rex''" and "''Veloci'''raptor'''''." So did the filmmakers not think through their cool-sounding-but-ridiculous-upon-inspection name. . . or did the '''characters''' InUniverse not think through their cool-sounding-but-ridiculous-upon-inspection name?
