Character Fight 7: Indominus Rex vs. Spinosaurus

Well, seeing how Jurassic World disappointed me a lot, let's do a character fight of it! The more successful it is, the more okay it is for me to hate. Indominus Rex, or as I like to call it, CGI-o-saurus. The words to describe how lame this design is probably doesn't exist yet, but to give you a hint, Stegoceratops could've made a better dinosaur hybrid than a giant white raptor. It's a shame, really. A shame coming from a franchise that has given us so many cool dinosaurs, gives us this stupid dinosaur with an even stupider name. Who came up with this, the director's son? No, because kids have imagination, and this monster free from any of that. Fanboys designed this thing! The dumb name and boring design is obviously made by the dumbest type of people in the world. Anyways, Spinosaurus! Spinosaurus was the villain of Jurassic Park III and the design of this beast is beyond cool. Unlike I-Rex, which is literally just a Raptor Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus has it's own distinctive features. The long crocodile snout, that crazy sail. Anyways, Spinosaurus gets a lot of hate, which is disgustingly unfair. It killed a T-Rex, big deal. It's not like it killed "The" T-Rex (T-Rex from the original movie). I supposed T-Rex fanboys will rant about the comet that ended all dinosaurs. Oh, fanboys. But surprisingly, people like Indominus. Why? It's just a boring rehash of T-Rex and Velociraptors. Anyway, let's start the battle. And sidenote: In my T-Rex Vs. Spinosaurus Character fight, I used the real, scientific versions of the dinosaurs. But  seeing how I Rex isn't real, I'm basing the facts off the movies, that means I'll be using the JP3 Spinosaurus. So not this.

REALISM

If you've watched Nostalgia Critic's review of Jurassic World, that's exactly how I feel about Indominus Rex. I-Rex, and most of the dinosaurs in JW, is not convincing, and you can tell they're all CG. Spinosaurus, however, is very real. But while he doesn't compare to T-Rex, (T-REX attacking the kids in the car will always be the best dinosaur moment ever.) The scene where the Spinosaurus destroys the airplane and eats the black guy (of course) is a much better scene than the Indominus Rex attacking the kids in the hamster ball, and you know why? Because you know I-Rex isn't there, and therefore, you can't feel the suspense. Jurassic Park III, however, they had a real airplane set on a tree, a giant animatronic Spinosaurus, so when the Spinosaurus is sticking his mouth in the plane, you have that "Get out of there! Get out of there!!!" feeling. Even if you don't like JP3, you can't deny that the Spinosaurus airplane scene is better than any Indominus Rex scene. That Spino/T-Rex fight, though, is debatable umongst fans. Poitn goes to Eagypticus!!

SUPER DINO POWERS

There's not much to Spinosaurus. Aside from his heat absorbing sail, He's basically just a long snouted T-Rex with useful arms. Indominus Rex, while being a lame Dinosaur, is blessed with the coolest powers of any JP dinosaur. I-Rex can camouflage, change her body temperature, see body heat, use her Raptor-like intelligence to plan her kills. Point goes to I-Rex. 

BODY COUNT

In Jurassic Park III, Spinosaurus kills only but three souls. A nameless guy, a black guy and an unfortunate T-Rex. Indominus Rex kills dozens of hunters, a security guard, and some dinosaurs as well as her own sister. Point goes to I-Rex

DESIGN

Indominus Rex is just a big raptor with a bad skin condition. That's it. And also, it's a really boring design. It's just JP3 raptor+T-Rex=lame design. Spinosaurus, on the other hand, is friggin' cool. It's not just a rehash of a T-Rex or Raptor, Spino is his own thing, He has that long crocoduck snout, those empty green eyes, and of course, the sail. That sail is his Jaws mimic. Point goes to Spino

KILLER INSTINCT

In Jurassic World, I-Rex strategieses her kills much like a Velociraptor. But smarts can't always win the day. Even though I-Rex is super duper intelligent, The T-Rex still managed to kill her. Spinosaurus on the other hand, is not a thinking animal, and therefore relies on instincts. And how did those instincts best serve him? Ask the dead T-Rex. Point goes to  Spinosaurus

AND THE WINNER IS...

Fuck yeah, Spinosaurus!
