This is what happens when you let shippers write literally anything.   JW3 does feel like some sub par fanfiction honestly. Honestly though. They really let us down.

Honestly though. They really let us down. Yeah, that would've added some more impact to it. Trying to think of someone besides Dr. Wu who would be a good choice. Idk who was even in the movie. And you can't really kill off Owen, Claire, or any of the original trio.

Yeah, that was not at all what we got. I was not very thrilled at all.  I was realizing the third movie had very few named character casualties, which I think was another problem. They don't realize the best of the Jurassic series is when it's treated like a monster movie. Building up tension rather than everything being an action scene. For all it's faults at least Fallen Kingdom had some very tense and well-constructed Indoraptor moments.
Dr. Wu absolutely should've met his end by now. Especially given the whole series theme of the hubris of man flying too close to the sun and getting burnt. He's been around for far too many movies, especially considering he doesn't even survive in the first Jurassic Park book.
Oh, true. I hated that Dr. Wu ended up getting off scot-free, especially after concluding he was an evil mastermind back in the day. I definitely would have preferred the movie where he becomes a mustache-twirling villain bent on conquering the world with a dino army.

Yeah, they needed to revisit the first. I don't know what JW 3 was even supposed to be, it wasn't really action, it wasn't a thriller, it was kind of just a failed nostalgia attempt and tying up loose ends.
I totally agree! Was he even in the third? I can't remember. They were setting him up for something it felt like. I really did not want to see a redemption arc for him. Honestly missed opportunity to bring the series full circle and at least try to make a respectful conclusion for the original.
He was, but he didn't do much. Fallen Kingdom made it seem like he'd finally have his big breakout moment as the real antagonist which would've been awesome but then they lost the plot. There's a serious suggestion for fixing JW 3: Wu as the main antag where at the very end he finally faces the consequences of his actions throughout the series.
THANK YOU!!  13-year-old me was so proud of himself for that fan theory.

They brought back the OG JP gang and then did nothing with them.
Dare I suggest the original JP4 plot of dinosaur-human hybrids? Imagine like a squad of Space Marine Lizard People.
That would be memorable. What dinosaur would you want to be a hybrid of Qui? I actually disagree with you here, they were meant to be.

Wait, what? Why would they do that? Wasn't a major part of the beginning of JP3 that they didn't end up together? Yes, and everyone hated that because the original set them up to be a couple!! Wait, why are you guys supporting JP///????

You know what we really needed? We needed a named character death. Who do you think would've been the best candidate out of the JW3 cast? Yeah, that would've added some more impact to it. Trying to think of someone besides Dr. Wu who would be a good choice. Idk who was even in the movie. And you can't really kill off Owen, Claire, or any of the original trio. Okay, but why not? If they'd had a little more chutzpah they could have gotten away with it.

Personally, Ian Malcolm sacrificing himself for everybody else could've been a cool CONnection to the first JP.

I actually disagree with you here, they were meant to be. It's canon that they're platonic. There's literally an entire conversation in the book about their relationship status and Grant explicitly says he has no intention of pursuing anything.

Idk about Con's suggestion of Ian Malcolm because he's always been the most against the dinosaurs, and thematically the Jurassic series tends to kill off those who disrespect nature. This is even more evident in the book where Hammond and Wu die, but Muldoon survives. It could've been interesting to see Owen or Claire get killed off, although they have a child now right? I can't remember but didn't they kidnap clone girl?

In the book, yes, but in the first movie it's made clear that they're dating.

It's around 10 or so, I acquired a purple one a while back to go with all my black ones. 
Luckily it was a theme with a lot of t-shirts.
