Weird Rebirth Canon
I saw a post recently from the official Jurassic World Instagram account talking about Vanity Fairs article, and it include a sorta canon bending detail.
As we all know, dominion was supposed to take place in 2022, meaning Rebirth takes place in 2027. But on this Instagram post, it says, “Three decades later the mistakes made at that ruined facility have not gone away.”, but they don’t give an exact number, meaning it could be anywhere from 30-35(assuming if it was past 35 they would say “over three decades”).
The issue I have with this is that, 3 decades before the events of Rebirth, is The Lost World. Being ofc 1997. Which is weird because they went to Sorna, not to clone again(although they did for JP3), but rather to extract the Dino’s from Sorna. So I don’t know why a third island would be needed for this movie instead of just reusing Sorna.
I get it’s for the plot in some way, but it doesn’t make sense why they would create a whole nother island, when experiments were already going on at Sorna around this time or just after. If they meant for it to be 35+ years, like before early 90’s, or even older in the 80’s. That would make complete sense, but they wouldn’t put 3 decades there to throw us off, I would think.
Again, it’s a little thing, but Koepp said he didn’t want to break canon whatsoever, but I might be reaching, it’s just a weird detail I noticed, might not be a big deal like I brought it up to be, but if it is, I hope it does get addressed and explained. I fully acknowledge too, that with this franchise, InGen could’ve had multiple weird experiments going on, but it’s weirder to me that considering the JP3 Spino, compared to the new one, is way more of an experiment gone wrong. Anywhoodle, let me know if I got anything wrong or wut you have to add or say in reply to this or in general. (Also TRAILER TOMORROW)
(Side note: I find it incredibly weird from the leaked set photos that the InGen logo is different, kinda made to look more clean and modern, completely different from the original InGen logo).
