5 dumbest parts of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Why is there always that one “he can’t be that stupid”-guy?

Ken Wheatley (Ted Levine) is the pseudo-mercenary in charge of obtaining all the dinosaur species to be sold to the highest bidder. Naturally, he’s a completely insane idiot, more concerned with collecting a tooth necklace than safety of any kind. Including his own safety.

So Ken is face to face with the Indoraptor, a hybrid dinosaur genetically engineered from a previous variation of humans playing god.

Remember, the Indominus Rex was the souped-up T-Rex, the new dinosaur with T-Rex size, and a hodge-podge of other lethality-increasing attributes. That wasn’t enough for the mad scientists in Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom. They decided to throw in a little Velociraptor to make it even smarter and deadly.

Back to Ken and his quest for a Jurassic necklace. He shoots the Indoraptor with two hits of tranquilizer and hastily climbs into the cage with it. His souvenir thirst must be quenched. The door closes behind him.

It’s stupid he opened the gate. Climbing in is unfathomable. But letting the door close behind him is Powerball impossibility. It would have made more sense to just shoot the dinosaur another 4-5 times to put it in a coma. Just to be sure. After all, by the time he goes for the tooth souvenir the dinosaur gambit is in ruins, and people are running for their lives.
