This comment has just reminded me how disproportionate the baby sitter's death in Jurassic World seemed to be. Like, she wasn't even annoying or too dumb to live...and got one of the most graphic drawn-out deaths in both franchises.

Yeah, it was hard to come back from that.

[chamonix]

I agree. The grossest thing isn't necessarily the death itself, it's that someone WANTED it in the movie so much they sacrificed a good deal of precious screen minutes to the drawn out, painful death of a young pretty innocent woman who clearly didn't deserve it, with no greater impact on the story. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I think that scene exists because someone in the chain gets off on that, which is just... ghoulish.

[sparklywalls]

I don't think you are reading too much into it, or if you are then I am too. It does come across like someone really relished the opportunity to have that death in the film because "look, this means we're serious - anyone can die!"

But there's just no grounding for it. The lawyer in JP getting munched had some justification in the narrative because he abandoned the kids. The guy in JPII (I think?) who gets torn in half was making a heroic sacrifice at the time. Even though you accept dinosaurs are going to eat the human characters, most of the time there's *something* in the story that supports any named person suffering that fate. In JW it was like someone said "what if we do this for the lulz" and it was just mean.
