Jurassic World's Mutant D. Rex EXPLAINED

0:05 well millions of people were watching the highly anticipated trailer to the next adventure in the Jurassic Universe there was no doubt that the one big question on everyone's Minds was what the hell is that on this episode of GOI Center we're going to take a deep dive into everything we figured out about the latest Jurassic world monstrosity before we proceed however note that we will be analyzing both the trailer behind the scenes information and share some plausible plot leak information found in The Wretched corners of the internet including a possible full design reveal of this new monster so here's a potential spoiler warning for this year's upcoming Blockbuster don't say we didn't warn you in Jurassic world

0:52 rebirth we follow both a wayward family and a hired mercenary group working for a Pharma company winding up on an unknown island with a grim present and an even darker history dinosaurs released into the world in the last couple of movies have settled into areas like this and inen was conducting some of their earliest experiments in the same location many decades ago but nothing from the pack hunting Spinosaurus to the Kaiju siiz Titanosaurus was as horrifying as this the Goji Center modeling team has quickly put together a three-dimensional model of what we think the new Mutant Monster looks like standing possibly over 25 ft tall and no doubt having a weight in the tens of thousand thousands of pounds this nightmarish Beast doesn't have a confirmed name yet but as a tribute to a forgotten monstrosity from

1:39 the 9s we're also nicknaming this the d-rex for now even after all the strange beasts we've seen in the franchise nothing comes close to this a malformed mutant with multiple sets of arms knuckle walking fists with massive Claws and a bulbous forehead that could imply anything from echolocation abilities like a beluga or a malformed skull like some embryos develop for this part of the video we'll entertain the idea that this was not an intentional Design After all six limbs a body that looks like somebody threw a Rancor into a blender with a M and huge knuckle walking fists aren't exactly anything you find in the dinosaur fossil record according to scattered rumors and a few alleged plot details this was one of the very earliest genetic Creations by inen back

2:25 in the 1980s when the genomes were sequenced further before being shipped off to production on site B this would make even more sense considering Rexy was one of the earliest Dinosaurs the company created according to the viral marketing being born sometime in the late 1980s if inen did indeed create this animal this malformed Abomination would almost certainly be older and was made with older Tech having said this it is actually quite possible that this animal could be reaching its 50s assuming it was made in the mid to late '70s if it was made in the early 80s then we'd still be looking at an animal well beyond the life expectancy of a real T-rex with the very old specimens not living much past the age of 30 it's almost certain that this mutant Rex has many years under its belt with old age

3:12 we can also associate older technology and this may have been a culprit as to why it came out looking this way genetics technology from the start to the end of the ' 80s was drastically more primitive compared to the tech seen in the early 90s let alone the much more advanced computers used in the 2010s things like cm5 supercomputers used on is lenu and SAA were not around back then hello John hello John thinking machine supercomputers and Jean sequencers Break Down The Strand in minutes we use the complete DNA of a frog to fill in the holes and complete the code that little bit of marketing in Hammond's showand tell might be plot relevant Tech like that was integral to making the incomplete DNA viable by

3:57 either repairing the code or filling in the missing parts with frog DNA correctly yeah this is really easy to screw up which is why in the real world we don't see much of this happening if more primitive Tech was used in the creation of this mutant that might explain how this animal wound up looking the way it does to be clear the inen geneticists behind the creation of this Drex were not planning for it to look like this this animal was probably a failed attempt at making a giant theropod no amount of healthy hybridization splicing should ever cause mult multiple limbs to appear all right so in the following segment we're going to learn a bit of genetics so brace tight and pay close attention understanding this will help you appreciate this mutant Rex just a tiny

4:43 bit more and open a possible theory for another bizarre explanation as to why this animal exists Hawk genes are clusters of genes that control the basic body plan of any animal mutations can change the shape and size of Limbs that's how Evolution can happen but these genes are hardcoded so that the body configuration stays the same that is why tetrapods like us and every other land vertebrate have never had limbs where our heads are or arms sticking out of our legs or more than four limbs after 300 million years in other words gene splicing shouldn't cause this so what went wrong we can blame this on a phenomenon known as polymelia this is a rare mutation that affects the hawk genes it happens when there's a mistake

5:28 in the DNA that causes the hawk genes to duplicate or change leading to problems with the animal's body structure in this case the geneticists botched the DNA rebuilding process using subpar computers or just weren't careful enough to fill these gaps the result was a bastardized attempt at creating the franchise's iconic star let's take another more closer look at the mutant Rex now note that this animal all over the internet has been referred to as a mutant not a hybrid not an amalgamation but a mutant this word has many other other implications as well usually when an animal is mutated there could be instances where any extra adjacent limbs or even heads are not placed in perfect symmetry examples of this include Stumpy the four-legged duck born with its

6:15 normal set of legs but with an extra two asymmetrical limbs octo goat an animal born in a Croatian farm with duplicate sets of Limbs a total of eight is another example of animals that went through mutations during their embryonic stage yielding an extra set of Limbs our mutant Rex here could have gone through a similar situation with two extra-large limbs congruent enough for it to be able to knuckle walk but with two extra smaller limbs with two digits which was present in the real life T-Rex but these elongated front limbs are something that are not present in T-Rex so what happened here remember in the Jurassic Park film it was mentioned that frog DNA was used to fill in the gaps in the genetic code of some of these animals it is a plausible theory that the use of this animal could explain the D- Rex's

7:03 unsettling appearance most frogs famously go through a metamorphosis where the tadpole starts growing limbs as the tail shrinks as they mature this is after they are born this might have been an explanation as to why things got messed up during the drex's embryonic stage at the time of the creation of this video there is no official reveal of the full design of this creature so far however things may seem like this animal features bilateral symmetry meaning both sides of this animal are the same this would actually be extremely rare in a mutated animal so having said this there is still a chance that the limbs of this animal may be slightly asymmetrical resulting in a creature experiencing ongoing discomfort and a painful existence in the trailer

7:49 we see certain shots showing one of our heroes Duncan luring it away with a flare further lining up with the possibility that this animal was indeed an early attempt at making a T-Rex since both this and Rexy are are attracted to flares T-Rex features are visible in the face a wide jaw somewhat resembling that of T-Rex mandibles even if these may not be working at optimal capacity we could still expect a monstrous bite force that could snap a person in two that is if it could even reach them the build of this animal strangely resembles a m if an animal like this at this speculated height were to bring its jaws close to the ground to eat a human it would have to mimic this stance spreading its front limbs to the side enough to bring its head low this is inefficient in terms of

8:36 combat leading us to believe that this mutation forces the animal to use its front limbs as its main weapon the predominant two-digit hands could serve as a potential striking or slashing weapon only using its jaws at very close range and if needed the only reason why this would be a good combatant would be because of its size and reach speaking of which we need to figure out why this animal ended up being so big despite its base genome being a T-Rex recall what we learned about Hawk genes our theory is that because these were possibly corrupted during the embryonic stage the affected Hawk Gene cluster might influence growth related genes not only adding additional limbs but also the size of these limbs note that the height of DX is largely due to its elongated limbs during this animal's embryonic

9:22 stage it is the hawk genes that normally influence the number and length of these limbs resulting in polymelia the mass of the body torso and and head is still similar in Mass to a normal Jurassic Park T-Rex it's the limbs that were affected however this does not end here Hawk mutations sometimes also lead to something called neotenic traits this is where certain juvenile characteristics are retained in adult forms this can explain why DX retained a bulbous looking head upon maturing and a strange natal form on its upper torso the result of all the discussed mutations is this a botched attempt at making a T-Rex but functional enough to have survived for a very long time this scene in a functional facility featuring the T-Rex

10:10 is probably a flashback to when this lab was functional note the size difference between this one and this one meaning that this one was likely an infant but a more interesting observation is the fact that this animal is seemingly taking its time to attack this individual this suggests that this creature despite being younger already did displays traits of a shrewd and collected individual not rushing to acquire an easy meal but more observant learning about its world as it grew what does this mean for this even older and mature mutant Rex perhaps an even more frightening intelligent and perhaps malevolent new monster there is one alternative way to look at this and this is purely based on a few hints that have

10:56 been pointed out in the trailer earlier we discussed the idea that these scenes showcased a lab owned by inen assuming that they weren't and instead were owned by another brand new company introduced to the franchise Parker genx we may be looking at a scenario where this mutant isn't exactly too old this theory has Merit given that some of the tech seen in these clips isn't exactly screaming 1980s but rather a more recent timeline closer to the 2010s company takeovers of other Islands such as manac Corpse seen in Camp Cretaceous and masrani in is lenblr prove that this has already happened before the most important takeaway from all of this is the following if this mutant was created in the modern era was this actually an experiment gone wrong we already

11:41 discussed that Hawk genes are practically what control how certain traits of an animal look like Believe It or Not these actually can and have been tampered with before to create custom augmentations to animals just now during the creation of this episode we received word that Argentinian biotech company Kiron created a genetically modified horse that was augmented to run faster allegedly the entire Genome of this horse was modified and completed before this animal even underwent gestation sound familiar that's right the gene that developed the appropriate muscles that allowed faster acceleration speed were tampered with Precision creating a horse that is a lot faster than the base Genome of champion Polo puera the horse

12:27 that served as a base these methods and Technology have been researched for many years so back to the Jurassic universe and using this logic there is probably a chance that the same thing could have happened here by targeting the appropriate genes and identifying them as the ones that mess with limbs bone length and even muscular augmentation Parker genics perhaps knew what they were doing the entire time this process had to be done with modern tech serving as further evidence that this animal was probably made by Parker genx this entire excuse to go back to an island and get a hold of three large animals could just be a coverup to once again regain possession of a valuable genetically altered asset one who laid waste to this lab long ago but now sought after to be

13:14 reclaimed by its own creators
