Today I had a argument with the biology teacher, because he was saying Steven Spielberg was a dumbass making Jurassic Park in a scientifically wrong way. I told him that the mvoies and also the books explains why the dinosaurs in the stories are far different from the real ones. He didn't accept it, and laughed at me, saying that the movies are monsters movies, and not dinosaurs movies. I told him that he was right, because the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are scientific freaks in form of dinosaurs, not real ones. Then he told me to shut up and pay attention :v

R.I.P. Michael Crichton

I never knew that Crichton originally envisioned a more child friendly and whimsical Jurassic Park, considering how gruesome the book and its sequel was. The more you know. I do think he would like the way the films are going, as they are keeping the overall theme of the franchise; man’s obsession of controlling and interfering with nature.

After reading the first book, Jurassic world is really what would’ve happened if Jurassic Park didn’t fail. Jurassic world is the vision Michael wanted you to see before the site ended up failing in the book.

To go a step further, Michael was always happy to let other directors do what they want with his work. In an interview in the lost world special features, Crichton said that he preferrers directors to have their own vision than just straight up replication. I think he would have accepted Trevorrow's 'action movie' because it's smart but also definitely a different style.

This video is gold, a gem this is why every jurassic park fan needs to subscribe. Great work Klayton.

I would pay big money for a big budget mini series 100% true to the novels. Dont get me wrong I love the movies but I feel the source material needs a bit more love to, and I love thats kinda what its getting with Jurassic world and its upcoming sequel.

Personally I think he'd be pretty pleased. In a BTS for the first movie he said he totally understood why movie adaptations need to change things from the novels, so he wasn't pent up about how they "weren't faithful" and could see the merits of the film separate from his own material, and what they need to do to be good. The idea of genetic hybrid dinosaurs (as someone who has only heard things about his works) feels like it'd totally fit within what he would write about regarding genetics and playing God (Malcom's "could/should" speech comes instantly to mind). And interestingly to me, the sinister angle taken by InGen in the most recent films is a lot like the rather callous and sinister-Walt-Disney take of Hammond from the original novel.

Your own name sounds like a michael crichton charactor

I think Michael Crichton would have liked the direction Jurassic World went and definitely would have helped in the making of the movie. Klayton, what do you think of Jurassic Park Operation Genesis? Would you ever consider doing a review of the game before we get Jurassic World Evolution?

Oh god yes! Thank you! I've been seeing articles out the ass about how Fallen Kingdom is a bad idea and the Jurassic World sequels are ruining the franchise and LITERALLY the ONLY argument they have is basically "the first film was the best bc I said so and the new movies are not the original" or some other kind of vague opinionated horseshit about how it's "just another Hollywood blockbuster" and how the first film should have been the only film with no real credibility to their statements. There is SO much ground to explore in a franchise with dinosaurs like Jurassic Park, it would make less sense to stop only at one film.

WELL DONE! I sense great intensity in this one haha... -Jacob

OMG, I'm so happy to be subscribed to such a serious and we'll based KZfaq channels about that subject. This video's quality is 10/10!

The only reason why they said Michael wouldn't like it because he's dead. Everyone talks shit when a person is long gone. We don't know if he would like it or not but I feel he would love it but that's just me.

The thing is. I read the first book and it was showed that Hammond wanted to keep the dinosaurs the way they were. But Wu, wanted to change them to be like dinosaurs from children’s books. Guess which one of them was in Jurassic World and heavily influenced the creation of the Indominus?

I really think he would like it, the Indominus hybrid as something he would cover, which like he, explored the obvious chaos effects of it all.

I think you fried them with that Michael Crichton quote, Klayton. After watching this video, I believe that Michael Crichton would have loved _Jurassic World_ or at least condone it. It's been years since I last read the novels, but from what I remember while reading them, had he wrote a third novel in the series I'm sure it would have involved the creation of genetically-hybrid dinos. How else would the plot have advanced? And not only that, but I feel that the fourth film totally advances the plot from the first film, more so than the second and third. While _Jurassic Park_ showed what happens when we play God, _Jurassic World_ showed what happens when we continue playing God. Those two films alone is why whenever someone brings up the idea of bringing back extinct animals to live, my answer will always be "Hell no."

You seem like the Geekdom101 of the JPTubers. It's why I stuck around bro.

Crichtons books had alot more action and gore and horror than the films so its nice that the new film is at least trying to cover that more. While I love the original films, they did keep the number of dino human scenes to a fair minimun compared to the books.

I feel like Crichton would like how the new films are going. Both their direction and their stories.

God i love the Thintelligence rant. I dislike reading books but have recently gotten into Audio books, and man everything ian says in both the movie and books are gold.

Thank you for standing up for Jurassic World, where your voice actually matters, compared to those drones out there. Too many elitist assholes that are exclusively only fans of Jurassic Park, love bashing Jurassic World, to "prove" how much they love the original. Not that I don't love the first one, I do, but every time I try to appreciate the original, I come across those types of assholes, needlessly shoehorning in hatred for the revival.

I’d like to offer a toast to this counter-argument. 🥂 Another battle won. Good work Klayton. ;)

I actually read the first two books and have seen the first two movies multiple times. I absolutely love them and the universe they create. The characters are pristine, the plots are amazing, the visuals are also equally as great. I love Jurassic Park. I have very mixed feelings for Jurassic Park 3, and I hate Jurassic World, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. I have spent many years fascinated by the first 3 movies and books. They really are the greatest pieces of art ever in my eyes. JW's acting, writing, and special effects are incredibly dumb and unbelievable. I can't suspend disbelief with either of the Jurassic World movies because of how absurdly they present themselves. Every Jurassic film since The Lost World has either had really unfortunate production setbacks (JP3) or are soulless cash-grabs with bad writing, directing, special fx, and they are all incredibly alienating to fans of the original movies and books. In my opinion.

Yo what if he wrote the 3rd film as a novel before it was a film? That would be something.

This is my new favorite video. People hate on Jurassic World very unfairly, but it was an excellent film that reinvigorated the public's interest of the series. It is one of the highest grossing movies if all time! It changed up the franchise a bit, sure, but it was well received by many. I mean, would you rather have what they wanted to do for JP4...cuz I don't. I wouldn't want the franchise to just die, especially if would have left off at 3. The movie was good, this fandom is just becoming the new Star Wars fandom...

When I need Jurassic news I have the guy

OMG this video saved my week! I've been telling people for so long now that they are so unfair with the stories Collin Trevorrow and the rest of the JW crew are building. I always thought Michael Crichton would be very happy with their work and now, by watching your video, I have no doubts about it.

Fantastic video, Klayton! This is just the kind of video we need because God knows that we need more Jurassic positivity.

You should consider making a sequel to this video titled; What Would Michael Crichton Think Of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom?

"Patented it, and packaged it, slapped it on a plastic lunch box, and now you're selling it, you wanna sell it!" I love how you did that Klayton, and that's one of my favorite quotes from Ian...never gets old.

Currently reading The Lost World for the first time, so thank you for no major spoilers. Of course he would love J.W. I believe it probably holds a special appreciation for being so close to the perspective his original writings. Thanks for the content! I always look for to your next video. Keep up the awesome job!

In the novel (by Crichton) Wu proposes to Hammond to create the kind of dinosaurs the public expects to see. Slower and dumb. Hammond rejects this. The novel (and movie) tells us the animals are genetically engineered to be females, unable to synthesize lysine and a faster growth in order to gain fully grown mature animals (investors won't wait for 5-10 years). And lets not forget about the frog DNA. This essentially states that ALL the dinosaurs are hybrids already. The Indominus and Indoraptor are simply the next step created by Wu in the movies. And it still has the same result: the creation turns onto its creators. Crichton would like that.

I think Micheal would be happy

I have read the novels more times then I can remember, and I think that if Crichton was here he would like where the films are going. and hybrid Dinosaurs have always been thrown around in the books and the films. Love your videos man, keep up the good work!

Flock their way... nice one bro😂👌❤️

I believe Crichton would be proud of how far the films have come.

He would like the World movies more then he did the 3rd movie. That being said the only thing that's lacking about the World movies is the lack of a "scientist hero." The lack of one is more akin to his later works, when he became much more technophobic, and borderline anti-science. Otherwise the themes are spot on, and Fallen Kingdom seems to be fallowing up on the threat of a dino-apocalypse that was hinted at in the novels.

I have read 5 Michael Crichton novels Jurassic Park The Lost World Timeline The Great Train Robbery And Pirate latitude And plan on reading Dragon's Teeth. And I agree with you. Michael Crichton is the modern-day equivalent of Jules Verne 5:03. Love it

There’s also a part in the second book where Levine sent the sample from the dinosaur on the beach to Malcom and from the results of the zoo, they found that it could also camouflage or change color.

I bet Michael would like it

If the "journalist" had any decent arguments on why Michael Crichton would despise Jurassic World would be really nitpicking at something they barely understood. Honestly I don't know whether or not he would've loved the movies (I don't know his opinion on the films and what I've seen most authors who eventually see their works get turned into movies, most of them either hate it or don't like it), because Michael always had a very bloodthirsty approach to the way he made the Jurassic Park books; not only that but there would've been more talking and philosophy in his writing. For example in the first book while shit was going down while Grant and the kids were out in the park, there was a few pages dedicated to Dr. Wu's backstory on how he was hired by John Hammond and how the working relationship between the two was always one sided. How John Hammond always demanded more of his work and to make it work according to his designs and what would make the park more profitable; and driving home the idea that people in charge of revolutionary new advances will always "find a way" to pollute the basic concept just to make more money. To finally end this gigantic paragraph, Michael Crichton I believe would at least appreciate the fact that one of the main themes of Jurassic World was how consumer greed has grown to massive sizes and how corporations continuously make bigger and "better" products. I'm not sure if whether or not he would like the story and characters, but I'm pretty sure he would at the very least enjoy watching Owen Grady being the Ian Malcolm of the movie at times.

Thank you for being the voice of reason!!!!!!!! This is why I love your channel. :)

The JP series is the only book-to-film adaptation where I’ve enjoyed liberties being taken. The two books are very different in events compared to the films, but I feel the ideas Michael Crichton wrote about are present (in some form or capacity) in each of the films. This video was particularly interesting to me as I’ve never once read an article which argues that Crichton would dislike JW. All I know is, I love the books and films with a deep passion. Great video! Lots of food for thought!

He would probably be more proud of JW than JP3.

The roast of JP/JW haters

From everything I've heard and learned about Crichton is he was a science fan when it came to either medical or more science fiction I think he would have definitely been on board with JW just as he was on JP3

8:20 Klayton: So, yeah. Wrong again. Me: Anybody get that? 🤨

Again, very nice video Klayton! This was a topic nobody has really talked about, and i definitely want the movies to be more like the books. Honestly JW pissed for some reason a lot of people even though its a good movie! They are just nitpicking stuff to say against it, like thats gonna change the way we see the movie.

Excellent video! I will never, for the life of me, understand the shift in opinion from “Jurassic World is amazing! Thank you Colin!” to “Jurassic World is the worst in the franchise! Tevorrow is a hack director!” It’s infuriating, really.

I'm really glad you addressed this, there has been too many times I've heard people complain about this. And I always think the same thing!

I'm surprised pple even conceder themselves big enough fans to argue this point if they don't know this I alrdy knew all this and I wouldn't try to do that

You're legit my favourite youtuber

18 seconds in and im like YES YES YES YES YES YES JP DISCUSSIONS NEED TO BE AMONG HARDCORE JP FRANCHISE FANS that’s it. Im sorry but JP is actually so niche that you can’t just talk to anyone about it, you gotta know your shit.

LoL I was just watching a Michael Crichton interview

I think it's nice that Spielberg stayed true to what Crichton was aiming for, he hinted to stuff in his books in all the movies and even made a movie for something he was originally going for in the movies. Stuff like this never happens often, where people make a movie while honoring the creator that started the idea from their book.

Great video as always Klayton!! I just finished the first book and personally loved it! 10 out of 10! I dont see any reasons to hate it.

Im watching this while playing operation genesis just after reading a couple chapters of second book so I think I’m officially a fan

i recently read the novels, and I appreciate even more the movies, the novels expand so much and i would love to see more adaptations from the novels in the movies... RIP Michael, I wish he would have kept writing :'(

Though Jurassic World doesn't take as much time to do philosophical deep dives into the discussion surrounding the park and dinosaurs like the original film does, it's conceptually a loving amalgamation of Crichton's core themes, as well as a sun-soaked techno-thriller adventure for people of all ages. Hoping Fallen Kingdom manages to add to this, despite my apprehension.

Probably about to same as he thought about the lost world before he wrote his second book.

Honestly I feel like the only Jurrassic Movie that fell short was JP3, that seemed drastically far from the source material. J World at least looked like it belonged in the continuity.

I love how you put the Jurassic World detractors in their place, which is why I'm a patreon and support the channel.

This has given me the encouragemnent to read the original novel now. To be really honest though Klayton, i think the franchise has gotten to the stage where the sequels can be concieved to address the hard core fans as well as the newcomers, just because of what the franchise has become; to me, a cash cow. From all the videos and indepth talks you've given in the past, it's given me a more wider perception on how I'm going into the next 2 movies. And honestly, michael would be proud of the new direction that the franchise is going, as you said, it's telling the story he wanted to tell in his book. I heard the qroumour years ago that he wanted a child friendly aproach in the novel because it was supposed to be something for his children to read if I'm not mistaken.

Yay! New video. We missed you.

The beautiful thing about this series if you don’t enjoy the new films, you don’t have to watch them. If you enjoy them, then you can keep watching. For me personally, I’m not a huge fan of the online canon aspect of the newer Jurassic films, but I can appreciate them. I also really liked Jurassic World, but didn’t like Fallen Kingdom as much. I did enjoy the latter half of FK, the more horror themed scenes with the Indoraptor felt like it was ripped straight from the pages of Jurassic Park the novel.

3:20 "But if the Pirates of the Caribbean break down the pirates don't eat the guests." Take THAT Ian Malcom!

And that's why I like your videos your channel better than the rest because your sticks Faithfully to the books and movies all of them in the series so far plus your analysis are A number one with me

Well, we've seen what happened when Star Wars started straying from scouce material, TLJ didn't even feel like Star Wars. Let's hope JP learns from this.

Video hasn't been out as long as it is and more than the commenters have already liked the video...?

THANK YOU for this, dude. Next time someone comes at me about the hybrid concept in JW I'm linking their arses right to this video xD

I’ve read the books as soon as I found out that the movies were based on them. I and a friend are actually about to post a video about the raptors differences in the movies and reread both books. I think Micheal Crichton would like the way they’re going with the series, and I believe that those who are in charge of the rights to the franchise consider the direction and application of the franchise very seriously, and would take care to make sure it’s material is in agreement with the message and attitude of the base works and the writers opinion and vision set forth in the books. Thanks for all your amazing content Klayton!

Great video! As soon as Jurassic World was announced I was worried. I had read Crichton's novels and just the idea of a hybrid dinosaur made me anxious. Closer to the film's release, however, I found myself more excited for it and when I eventually got to see it, I thought it was awesome! I saw it a total of four times in the cinema and from the latest viewings I could see a theme of "control" in the movie. How we all think we're in control of a situation and how actually not in control we really are. Many scenes in the movie depict this quite well, in a subtle kind of way. I thought it was brilliant and in-line with Crichton's novels. Let's just hope JW: Fallen Kingdom does this as well. Anyway man, I thought your video would be just some ramblings about how JW ruined Crichton's work, etc. I was pleasantly surprised and you just got a new subscriber ^^. Keep up the good work! :)

So basically Jurassic World is a better Jurassic Park movie than the Jurassic Park movie.

Honestly, I couldn't have said this better myself! 👍🏻👍🏻 Personally, I'm open to *both* wholly original material as well as material from Crichton's books making their way into "Fallen Kingdom" and "Jurassic World 3."

Editing was spot on. Especially with the packaging line from the first movie.

Thank f*ck that James Cameron never got Jurassic Park tbh... Otherwise we would have only one Jurassic Park film right now and would still be waiting on the Lost World to get a confirmed release date.

I read the first book when I was a little kid, then read both a few years ago. Also read Dragon Teeth and liked it, nevermind the poor reviews, I liked it, especially since Chriton started it before Jurassic Park but it wasn't finished or published until after his death... sort of like it brought him back... like Tupac actually! No one can say for sure but it seems likely that Chriton would get a kick out of Jurassic World... and Westworld too... I don't know if he was one of those people that thought that source material for movies and television were more important, but I can't imagine that bringing a book, play, ect, to life in a way that does justice is ever a bad thing.

Michael Crichton seeing Jurassic World: WHAT IS AN “Indominus Rex”!?

This is why I love your channel dude, you call out all the bullshit from all of these supposed "Objective critiques" and completely dismantle their arguments. Hey! You should really do a video dedicated to defending Jurassic World. And really go over all the arguments against the film that people have and dismantle it in the same way you do in this video because there's a lot of complains thrown at Jurassic World that just aren't very valid. You would do a great job at defending the movie!

I wish he had written novels for JP3, JW, and JWFK.

Michael Crichton didn't want to write a book for the 3rd installment of the films because he couldn't think of a good reason to get back to the island. He was putting storytelling first. Jurassic World had some good ideas and concepts, but it botched every single one of them. From the characters, plot, special effects, dialogue; Everything felt underdeveloped. Spielberg handed it of to Johnson and then to Trevorrow. This franchise keeps getting handed to less experienced directors and the quality of the films degrades every time. I'm glad to see interest in the franchise reinvigorated but if the quality of this last movie is any indication of the direction the film is moving, I'm worried this series will cease to be anything special.

Thank you! I felt that Jurassic World was a fulfillment of JP! I just thought it was always what Spielberg dreamed of, but I didn't know it was what Crichton really wanted.

Man, in my personal opinion this is one of the most well thought out arguments I've come across. Love your videos and keep up the good work

I am early. Look I am early. My colleague: You see nobody cares.

Have you heard of a certian new heroic dinosaur named Stiggy?😄

Michael: what’s to hate? I love it! It’s such a thrill!

Hey klaton, like you Jurassic park is one of my favorite series! I have read the book and am about half way through the lost world! I could not agree more, a few of your points went through my head before I saw the video! Keep up the great videos! P.s I keep learning something new about the series from you!

Why not ask Michael himself?

He would hate it.

If people, who are attacking Jurassic World and accused it as a disgrace to the original, are a thing, this is where I get the idea when writing a young adult novel series where the main villain was using people’s different logic and opinion as a weapon against each other, knowing that mankind can be toxic and has to make humanity more toxic to trigger a global war, and the dinosaurs are a metaphor for the truth that people ignore that and when people disregard the truth, they will pay the price.

Once again, you are 100% correct Klayton Fioriti! People honestly need to listen to you a lot more because you have proven your intelligence unlike most people. You actually dig deeper into your information on this franchise to find the facts! That's why I love you Klayton Fioriti! You're amazing!

Sup fam!

I don't understand your attitude in this video. I normally very much enjoy your videos and always find them well put and thoughtout but this one here is fanboy ranting of the worst kind. Seriously Klayton how old are you? 12? What's with the "I and only I alone am right and everyone else is wrong and stupid" attitude? This is just 10 minutes of saying "You just didn't get it!" Is that your idea of mature and constructive debate? I don't even disagree with a lot of what you say (I do with some) but I don't appreciate the way you bring that across. Your opinion is not omnipotent and its not you alone who holds all the fact. A lot of what you say isn't even factual at all, just your interpretation of things. For example you think JW is the closest to Crichton original vision cause we see it through the eyes of Gray (a child). Fair enough, your opinion. I disagree. I think Gray is a minor character and we don't see the film through his eyes any more than we did in the past through Lex, Tim, Kelly or Eric in earlier installments. So how is what you say any more factual? You also seem to believe that pointing to the book and saying "but these dinosaurs had the same skills" is enough to shut down any criticism on the miraculous and plentiful skill set of the iRex. I disagree. Other dinosaurs in the franchise might have been able to e.g. camouflage and that worked well in their installments but that still doesn't make the cheap writing of the iRex, which comes up with a new skill every 5 seconds just because the plot demands it , any more believable or logical. (no gene splicing can explain how over the top intelligent it is). No real facts here, just personal opinion. What satisfies your need for plausibility, doesn't necessarily satisfy everyone elses. You also say many of the ideas used in Jurassic Park are present in Jurassic World. True - in a way. They're there I guess, they're mentioned anyway. Does that mean the film develops them well or goes anywhere with it? No, not in the slightest in my opinion. The film pretends to have a message about man trying to control nature but that's not really what this is about. In the original. Nature tricked man, it overcame the issue of an all female group by turning some male. This was unpredictable and as quoted so many times "nature found a way". JW has none of that. The iRex isnt an example of nature finding a way, all of it skills were given by Dr Wu who wanted some super soldier weapon kind of dinosaur and the rest of the film is stupid people fighting even more stupid people. The original argues the question, should man make dinosaurs at all, should they play god, should they - as Malcom put it - rape nature in that way? Well JW has the answer - YES! Man absolutely should. It's fine to make dinosaurs, its fine to genetically modify them to make them look cool and have them look like people would expect them to look (none of this feather nonsense) but only to a certain point. No, not too much genetic meddling, just a bit. A little bit of rape is okay but not too much, too much rape bad - a little rape good. That's about as deep as JW goes with this discussion, so in my opinion it's perfectly justified to criticise it for it. All of this doesn't actually matter cause overall I agree that being meta or staying true to the source material were not JW major issues (well in a way it was but more in a way of staying true to the original by being well crafted and telling a good story with great characters, not make a cynical cash grap film which is only a collection of scenes designed to make the trailer look good). I made no secret in my earlier comments that I think JW is one big pile of shit but I can accept that many believe it to be the bees knees. Agree to disagree. But I disagree with your passive aggressiveness and your sentiment that anyone disagreeing with you is all but stupid. That's not what I expected from you. I guess it's easy to dismiss my opinion in this ocean of comments, claiming this is your best video yet, but then you did end it with "everyone disagreeing with me is a pretentious twat - but now I would like to hear your thoughts". Emperors new clothes effect comes to mind. I do wanna say though that I'm writing as a fan of yours and not from a place of hating or trolling and I'm also not pretending I always bring my opinion across the best way myself. I can be just as passionate and defensive about the franchise. I still find this video a massive let down and hope its a one off and we get more sensible and debate encouraging material in the future, just as before.

I love the way you edit the videos its very good and the choice of music that you use in the background really sets the mood and theme ....even though you've used it in every video you've made still its pretty good

Thank you, Klayton for such a wonderful channel. I'm not gonna lie, I have probably binge watched your videos over the past two weeks and have rekindled my love for this series on a deeper level. I'm hoping to pick up the novels and read them back-to-back sometime soon. I've seen Jurassic World many times and love it now more than ever! I think the only true complaint and it's small, is that I wish the Raptors would have behaved a bit more like in the previous movies. Although it makes sense why they aren't as aggressive as the first two movies. I'm looking forward to the Indoraptor, that thing looks vicious! Anyway, thanks again, dude!

I think he'd be very disappointment. He wrote the original novel with the latest in dino science in mind for the time. I think he'd be sad the filmmakers didn't keep up, crazy JP fans be damned. I love JP but the series needs to evolve. JW should have been that's jumping off point.

I’m sorry, but Jurassic World is just a shitty movie. The development of the characters isn’t subtle, like it is in Jurassic Park, it’s just thrown in your face like you’re an idiot. They don’t suggest that Claire and Owen dated, they state it in unnatural dialogue. I do believe Michael Crichton was bastardized by Jurassic World, but no more so than he was by The Lost World. Claire’s change in the movie is asinine and not even important, it just suddenly occurs. Also, Jurassic World has “and then” story telling, the cheapest version of story telling there is. In Jurassic Park the raptors escape because the power went off, the two events are linked. In Jurassic World, the Indominus escapes, and then it breaks into the aviary, and then the pterosaurs attack the guests, etc. It’s also important to note that the pterosaur attack scene resolves so unbelievably quick, and that’s because of the type of story telling Jurassic World possesses. It’s a cheap adaptation of a cinematic masterpiece.

Wow man you need more subscribers you are officially the go to guy for anything Jurassic Park/World !

I love these videos only because it allows me to learn more about a franchise that I love and know so much about.
