I felt sorry for her. Her only crime was not ultimately being compatible with Bill Paxton's character's lifestyle.

I think she was probably supposed to come off as more of an asshole but Jami made her likable, or something. But maybe not? Because it makes me respect his character (any character) less if they put up with assholes.

It is like the British nanny in Jurassic World, what did she do so wrong that she deserved to get eaten by both a pterodactyl and a mosasaur?

nayrt

Supposedly, Zara (Claire's assistant who is watching her nephews) was depicted as a "bridezilla" in scenes cut from the film, according to writer-director Colin Trevorrow. Though I'm not sure that justifies a death worse than the lawyer in Jurassic Park, which feels like the parallel he was going for to me.

That kinda makes it worse, just through dint of invoking such a horribly sexist trope to lead up to a woman's death as a punchline. Whoever wrote that subplot needs investigated for DV.

She committed the ultimate sin of being a little uptight and citified. how dare she not want to live in a field...

I don't even think that she was any more incompatible than Hunt's character. They were on the brink of divorce at the start of the movie, a few days chasing the old adrenaline and working on an old project isn't gonna paper over those relationship cracks.

narratively, she's the definition of the rebound that was going to end badly sooner or later. Jami Gertz made her so likeable and funny, so she didn't come off as a bitch or a real threat to Jo - in the end, their arc was about needing an extreme (haha pun intended) wake-up call to how all three of them were going about it badly. She did good claiming her self and being willing to end an engagement because she knew it wasn't right for either of them.

(fwiw I always came out at the end knowing that in spite of surviving a massive tornado and kissing, Jo and Bill probably wouldn't have actually gotten back together and I'm so glad there was never any sequel to have to address that)
