The director behind the film Jurassic World 3: Domination, Colin Trevorrow, addressed critics who took aim at the Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Tyrex, after the movie’s release.
In the story of Jurassic World 3: Domination, Tyrex reappears as a central figure, engaging in a fierce clash with his long-standing foe, the Giganotaurus. Observers noted that Tyrex did not triumph alone; the match required aid to tilt the balance. A segment of the fanbase reacted negatively, sending messages directly to Trevorrow to express disappointment with Tyrex’s perceived weakness. Some fans wrote passionately that Tyrex embodies the franchise’s spirit and that such a portrayal felt like a letdown. Trevorrow listened and replied to the concerns publicly, inviting viewers to consider the broader narrative choices rather than focusing solely on individual moments.

The director shared a fresh note on his social profile, acknowledging the frustration among a portion of the audience while urging a closer look at the facts. He explained that Tyrex’s life expectancy in this universe is about 28 years, implying that the creature was near the end of its era within the film’s timeline. Trevorrow suggested that even at that advanced stage, Tyrex demonstrated resilience by standing firm and seeking retribution after a 65-million-year gap. He hinted that vengeance can unfold gradually, across time—an element he felt strengthens the film’s mythic cadence. [Attribution: Official social media post]
