I was disappointed that they didn't take the chance and do feathered dinosaurs where appropriate in World. Back when Jurrasic Park came out, dinosaurs evolving into birds wasn't common knowledge and the average person saw them as huge, slow and dumb. The movie did a TON of work of bringing the then-current understanding of dinosaurs into the public consciousness. The new movies could have done the same, but decided to play it safe instead.

Such a missed opportunity! The designers could have gone nuts on feathered designs. And hell, they could still have the "classic" designs around, the movie even features some of the animals from the original island.

Second huge missed opportunity was that the second movie didn't take place in the ruins of the original park so it could be called "Jurrasic World: The Lost Park".

    “Choices” in story are not choices, completely useless.

    That, at least, is a staple for the series, so I can't be mad about it. Otherwise I mostly agree. I was enjoying the story and worldbuilding until about the time when the portals to other dimensions started appearing and the plot went sideways. From then on it was mostly bullshit they tried to explian by repeating "quantum mechanics" over and over.
