Jurassic Park Added Stuff

edit

I was thinking we could add 2 More Sections including "Chronological Order" and "Interactives". We could also add a part where all the movies, shows, films, and interactives are all in one big list of Release Order. I also heard a new shows coming up thats a sequel to Camp Cretaceous called "Jurassic World: Chaos Theory" Bananawiki123456! (talk) 00:14, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

For the films, the chronological and release order is the same, and they're all covered here already. The infobox also lists all the films and shows. The only interactive that I know of is the Camp Cretaceous special episode, which I've added here. It doesn't need its own section. The sequel show is also mentioned.  AJFU  (talk) 15:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tho there are some parts that are different from the chronological order, the chronological order is still slightly different Bananawiki123456! (talk) 19:48, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Legacy

edit

Hi, We need a section about how this film and its sequels have changed forever the perception of dinosaurs for the general public. And this is not just in the Western world. It is worldwide phenomenon. FYI Jurassic Park was one of the first American movie to be dubbed in Hindi. There is clearly "Dinosaurs before JP" and after. Everything changed.

Hi. Did you see the premise and dinosaurs section? It seems to cover this already.  AJFU  (talk) 15:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Jurassic World series naming

edit

I don't think it's appropriate to label the Jurassic World series as a "tetratology". The three Jurassic World movies were a unified trilogy whose story clearly ended with Dominion, which the article points out multiple times. The new film is clearly meant to a spin that's separate from the other three. We should change it back to "Jurassic World Trilogy" for the first three films and "Spin off" for the new one 2600:4040:A5B1:A800:E4BB:54FF:FEE0:1E47 (talk) 01:51, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, the previous trilogy and the new film appear to be separate things. Sources aren't using "tetralogy" to describe the series, so neither should we. However, sources also aren't referring to it as a "spin-off".
At one point, this article's film chart briefly had the new film listed under "Other films", and under "Future films" prior to that. I think one of those could work for the time being. This would also apply to the Rebirth section, which is currently a level-four subsection of "Jurassic World tetralogy".  AJFU  (talk) 02:10, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Canon

edit

I've modified this edit to focus on the films and the two Netflix shows, which are obviously part of the same canon. The canonicity of everything else seems questionable and is hardly brought up in reliable sources (it's mostly fansites and forum posts). There is something that Trevorrow calls "soft canon", which might be where some of this stuff falls under, but I couldn't find anything further on this.

The Lego shows are apparently not canon ([1], [2]), and the games are a bit of a mixed bag. According to this, Jurassic Park: The Game was originally canon when it was developed, but I guess it's now ambiguous as to whether that's still the case. For what it's worth, some elements of the game were referenced in marketing websites for the Jurassic World films ([3]), but I don't think that canonizes the whole game, and I don't know if the sites themselves are considered totally canon and meant to be taken seriously, or if they're more just for fun. Jurassic World Aftermath was canon, until it wasn't ([4]). Other games, including Jurassic World Evolution, aren't canon either ([5],[6]).  AJFU  (talk) 18:43, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
