Aside from being a film where the main point was apparently to have CGI dinosaurs fighting other CGI dinosaurs so we could root for our favorite, I noted the male characters were throwaways lumped into gender roles as follows (sorry for not knowing the character names).

Alpha Male – (Chris Pratt) is a desireable male, he fixes bikes, rides bikes, has muscles and tames dinosaurs.  They even call him an alpha male, because, well.  So we’re supposed to believe this guy wants to hook up with an older woman who is like a 5/10 at best?

Beta Male – Computer programmer guy who tries to point out the moral fallacies in the story.  He’s painted as undesireable, he’s sloppy, nerdy and although he’s right on a number of points nobody listens to him.  He’s also directly insulted about his manhood by a woman in the film when he questions her rash (and probably very stupid) decision to release the T-Rex to fight another rogue dinosaur.

Throwaway Male – Rember the dad of the “smart dinosaur kid”?  Probably not, he was a total throwaway character, but he stood out for me, becasue he made a comment as the kids were leaving fo dinosaur vacaiton with their aunt.  The wife rolled her eyes and said why do you always say stuff like that.  He had no role other than being painted as the probable cause of the parent’s impending divorce…which they make a point of talking about in the movie.

Teenage boy –  Girl obsessed, pretty dumb, no role other than to protect “smart dinosaur kid” really.  Oh and suggests divorce is a good thing because you get two of everything (two birthdays, two christmases, etc…).

So by the end of the film the family is re-united.  I presume their impending divorce is off the table now that the kids are unharmed, even though they presumably sent the kids there so they could finalize thier divorce?  Not sure why the plot even had to include that point. Unless now divorce is such a commonplace ocurrance that it now drives crappy movie subplots.

But yes, only feminists need be angry about this movie, it’s totally ok to lump the male cast into traditional gender roles.

More than 2000 people on that island and the supposedly terrifyingly smart dinos that can color-morph to the ambient environment and WHAT? No dino feast? No crunches between teeth or a flattened body under tons of beast?

What, the writers were on strike that month?

This is the MGTOW of the movie, thinking “f~~~ the others, I’m gonna save my margaritas” 😀

Donno if you even recognized because this scene is really really short….I for one just saw it on the second view.

But hey, at least the movie had that epic “margarita-moment” when the pterosaurs attacked (btw this link is not the real scene, just a 9gag-gif crediting it) http://9gag.com/gag/aZNb8P0/the-best-part-in-jurassic-world This is the MGTOW of the movie, thinking “f~~~ the others, I’m gonna save my margaritas” Donno if you even recognized because this scene is really really short….I for one just saw it on the second view.

I saw it because the actor did an AMA on Reddit.

Again, though while funny it was still at the expense of another negative male stereotype, “F~~~ the women and children, I’m saving my drinks”.

I’ve never seen such crap pretending to be a Jurassic whatever. 45 mins wasted on the kids, 20mins wasted on female bulls~~~, 30mins on science falsely explained and the rest on some collateral damage. More than 2000 people on that island and the supposedly terrifyingly smart dinos that can color-morph to the ambient environment and WHAT? No dino feast? No crunches between teeth or a flattened body under tons of beast? What, the writers were on strike that month?

The plot and characters were inconsequential.  The whole point of the movie was so they could stage scenes where CGI dinosaurs fight other CGI dinosaurs.  I guess my point is every male in the movie, other than Pratt embraced some negative male stereotype, but the women were generally “awesome”

Noteable, the comment between the sisters, where the mom says “when are you having kids, they’re worth it” even though she knows she had an impending divorce.  Fart out some kids so you can secure your position in a divorce, it’s the american way!

I haven’t seen the movie, but based on the fact that the rest of society praises it, I assume its not worth seeing.

It’s certainly not great.

One ridiculous thing that stood out was the main female protagonist was full-sprint running in high heels for a lot of the movie, then all of a sudden morphs into a tough as nails alpha female who isn’t afraid to stare down a charging T-Rex.

The whole movie is a farce. Look a the Engen guys, they showed up all big and bad for… they didn’t even do anything.

And yep, Hollywood has been on the forefront of thaGirlpower nonsense. It’s widely documented that for strong males to make it in that industry they have to eventually dress like weemins and be made fun of. I’ll leave rest to your imagination.
