Brief Summary
This video analyzes the new mutant monster, nicknamed "D-Rex," from the Jurassic World trailer, exploring its origins, potential genetic mutations, and possible roles in the upcoming movie. It discusses the possibility of the D-Rex being an early, failed genetic experiment by InGen or a more recent creation by a new company, Parker Genx, potentially designed with specific augmentations.
- The D-Rex is likely a very old creature, possibly created with primitive technology in the 1970s or 1980s.
- The D-Rex's mutations could be due to errors in Hawk genes, leading to polymelia and neotenic traits.
- The D-Rex might be a modern creation by Parker Genx, designed with specific augmentations using advanced technology.
Introduction to the New Jurassic World Monster
The video introduces the highly anticipated trailer for the next Jurassic World installment, focusing on the mysterious new monster that has captured everyone's attention. The video aims to analyze the creature, using trailer footage, behind-the-scenes information, and plausible plot leaks to understand its origins and design. The creator also issues a spoiler warning due to potential design reveals and plot information.
D-Rex: Initial Analysis and Physical Attributes
The video describes the setting of the new movie, where dinosaurs have settled into various areas, including an island where InGen conducted early experiments. The new monster, nicknamed "D-Rex," is estimated to be over 25 feet tall and weigh thousands of pounds. It is characterized as a malformed mutant with multiple sets of arms, knuckle-walking fists with massive claws, and a bulbous forehead.
Theories on the D-Rex's Origins as a Failed Experiment
The video explores the possibility that the D-Rex was not intentionally designed but is instead a failed genetic creation from InGen's early experiments in the 1980s. The primitive genetic technology of that era may have contributed to its malformed appearance. The video references Hammond's show-and-tell, suggesting that the use of frog DNA to fill in genetic gaps could have led to unintended mutations.
Genetic Explanations: Hawk Genes and Polymelia
The video explains the role of Hawk genes in controlling the body plan of animals and how mutations can affect limb development. It introduces the phenomenon of polymelia, a rare mutation affecting Hawk genes that can cause extra limbs. The D-Rex's multiple limbs could be a result of geneticists botching the DNA rebuilding process, leading to a mutated attempt at creating a T-Rex.
Mutations and Physical Characteristics
The video emphasizes that the D-Rex is referred to as a mutant, not a hybrid, highlighting the implications of its malformed features. It draws parallels to real-world examples of mutated animals with asymmetrical limbs. The D-Rex's elongated front limbs and two-digit hands are noted as features not present in T-Rex, possibly resulting from the use of frog DNA during its embryonic stage.
Combat Abilities and Physical Inefficiencies
The video analyzes the D-Rex's potential combat abilities, noting that its build resembles a therizinosaur. Its stance and the positioning of its jaws suggest that it may primarily use its front limbs as weapons. The video also discusses why the D-Rex ended up being so big, theorizing that corrupted Hawk genes during the embryonic stage might have influenced growth-related genes, leading to elongated limbs and neotenic traits.
Alternative Theory: Parker Genx and Modern Genetic Augmentation
The video presents an alternative theory that the D-Rex is a more recent creation by a new company, Parker Genx, rather than an old InGen experiment. This theory is supported by the advanced technology seen in the trailer clips. The video discusses the possibility of Parker Genx using modern genetic augmentation techniques to create custom modifications to animals, referencing the Argentinian biotech company Kiron, which created a genetically modified horse. Parker Genx might have intentionally augmented the D-Rex by targeting genes related to limb development, bone length, and muscular augmentation.
