Every dinosaur movie is connected! - Dark Jaguar - 27th July 2016
That title is a lie. It's just all the dinosaur movies I've seen that are connected. Feel free to mention all the ones I didn't mention, because this theory is important to the world and must be flawless. I really mean that, get mad.
So in the beginning, a meteor hit the earth, OR DID IT? The meteor hitting the earth split the world into two, one where it actually hit and the dinosaurs went extinct and one were it missed and the dinosaurs maintained their rule. This happened in both the Super Mario Bros. movie and The Good Dinosaur, creating a timeline split (I'm sure you're so excited at the possibilities...)
In the "human" world, the world was slowly dying, with tremors (earth shakes) caused by the devastating hit from the meteor. A few lone survivors managed to make their way to the only place where green things still grew, the Great Valley. Thus, Land Before Time takes place in that timeline. This great valley, over millions of years, may have been cut off from the rest of the land, leading to a single island where dinosaurs still lived. The few mammals that managed to find their way to this island would have been pressured to get bigger or get eaten. Any humans that found themselves there would have needed to find a small niche to hide in so they weren't devoured as well. Eventually, a small film crew would find their way to the island and, bizarrely, decide to ignore all the dinosaurs in favor of taking one of the giant mammal specimens back, giving us King Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Kong would be public knowledge, but the island would be forgotten again, until the late 20th century, when a scientist, struggling to make his vision come to reality, and sparing no expense, would uncover the truth about Kong's origins and travel back to that island. That's right, John Hammond from Jurassic park never actually cloned anything. Mr. DNA? Those labs? His amber mosquito? All smoke and mirrors, to fool investors, and remember the whole reason he invited those scientists was to further convince his investors to keep the money coming in. Note that he got paleontologists, but NOT biologists or anyone who specializes in DNA, because his lies would be seen through too quickly unless he carefully picked scientists without the proper background in genetics (such as, um, er, a, ah, mathematician). In reality, he took all those dinosaurs from Skull Island. (Keep in mind that while the Great Valley started as a haven for herbavores, at least one "sharp tooth" became a regular resident there, so it stands to reason others would eventually come to the valley). Why did they find eggs in Jurassic Park? They thought it was "frog DNA", but in reality it's because Hammond accidentally took a few males by mistake (or a few that had eggs ready to lay). Hammond claims at the start of Lost World that the second island was his original test site, but this is again a coverup. In reality, that was Skull Island. Lost World and JP3 both take place on Skull Island (The Great Valley), or at least small parts of it. It appears to be a rather immense island (and it would need to be, in order to sustain such massive fauna), so it would make sense for different landing parties to see completely different areas of the island. Even in JP2 and JP3, people keep crashing on the island, so it's still as hard to reach as it's ever been. The natives are gone, but after what happened with Kong breaking their defenses, it's not surprising they were all wiped out by whatever came through after Kong.
Meanwhile, in the dino-verse, dinosaurs eventually develop a more modern society resembling the old west. This would be the tale of the Good Dinosaur. One dinosaur comes across a "proto human" and keeps it as a pet. It's assumed that this is mammals evolving into humans even with the pressure of dinosaurs still existing, but the truth is, this "human" is actually evolved from a branch of dinosaurs. It's possible some had become trapped on a smaller island and, as mentioned before, had to evolve to get smaller in order to keep from starving to death (while also going upright and learning to use tools better). Most dino society, still being in an "old west" mentality, simply never knew this species existed. This would be the start of a social divide. At this time, a scientist in the human world would open a bridge and abduct some dinosaurs from the dino world (assuming he'd merely pulled them from the past, but in reality not his past). This would lead to the events of "We're Back", and the start of numerous crossovers between the two parallel worlds. Once that scientist had opened the gate, rifts would start opening in various locations in both worlds. In one such location, a family found one by accident after falling over a waterfall, meeting another group of dino-evolved humanoids along the way as they visited this Land of the Lost. In another, one of the dino world's more massive specimens' eggs would cross over at a nuclear test site and rampage around New York, mistakingly identified as Godzilla. With "Zilla's" ability to reproduce so fast, it would need to have come from another world to have not been found until then. Further, perhaps even the original Godzilla, theorized to have been woken up by nuclear testing near Japan, came through yet another rift. The nuclear bombs then would be a reliable way to open rifts between the two worlds. Back to the meeting of dinosaurs and humanoid dinos, eventually something tragic must have occurred that led to the humanoids taking over the world and pushing the dinosaurs to the fringes of society. This would lead to social injustice, with a police station eventually having to induct a member of the dino underclass as a bid to ease tension between the two groups. This cop, Theodore Rex, would end up doing far more harm than good for the cause, as while it was a good move to ease tensions, Theodore proved to be an incompetent officer. Rather than heal the rift between the two groups, it pushed it even further. The true dinosaurs ended up being pushed to outright extinction, and the world in general went downhill with pollution. The few towns that remained were led by President Koopa, who was desperate to find a better world. He'd heard the rumors of these crossover events with another world and sought to find the link himself, eventually stumbling upon one of those tears, with an area with the very meteor that hit the human earth, somehow accessible to the dino side as well, but with a shard missing. This would lead to the events of the Super Mario Bros movie. At the end of this movie, both worlds now very publicly know about each other.
In Jurassic World, we are introduced to an experimental genetic abomination with super intelligence. It was assumed that super intelligence was just a result of their tinkering, but the more horrifying possibility is that the scientists were actually implementing genes from the more intelligent dinosaur humanoids after getting a few samples from across the rift. This might be the real purpose of the park. If Jurassic World's people knew about the other dimension with talking dinosaur people, it would also explain why so many park patrons are so bored just looking at regular dinosaurs.
I am a huge dork.
