A Bigger, Scarier, Smarter New Mutant Dinosaur Threatens Jurassic World

Owen Grady’s (Chris Pratt) loveable charm gave Jurassic World an endearing lightness. In the original series, the animals were treated like imprisoned science experiments. Owen loves the raptors and treats them with respect. That will solve everything and make Jurassic Park totally safe, right? Nope, still giant man-eating reptiles.

The comedic levity of the most recent installment seems to have been squashed like a greedy reptile breeder under a T-Rex foot.

We’ve been telling you for a while now how the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Infinity War is likely the biggest superhero film of all time.

Okoye for Queen of Wakanda! Danai Gurira brought a brand new Black Panther clip to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and we are in awe.
