There is an issue of bronze age Marvel “What if?” that asked the question, “What if Sue Richards had died?” Spoiler alert for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In that issue, Sue Richards died giving birth to her son. Her death drove Mr. Fantastic crazy that he decided to kill the villain who had a hand in her death — a villain clueless as to his participation, Annihulus. It was a good read. I remember it to this day. I had thought of this as I had watched Fantastic Four.

While it was a big hit at the start, I believe it fell off quickly. It should’ve had been better with Galactus. It could’ve been better with Namor in love with Sue Storm. Yes. In that “What if?” issue, it was Namor who recognized the despair in Reed Richards. He was the one to attempted to save him. I thought more of this tossed off issue than the film.

Yet, I am not so intrigued for where Marvel’s cinematic universe goes next. As I said, I am bored of superheroes.

Do we need another Jurassic World movie? We need another Jurassic World movie like we need another hole in our heads. Well, considering I have an extra hole in my head, we got Jurassic World: Rebirth, another movie to jump start the second trilogy of Jurassic World. Again, it must be asked, “do we need another Jurassic World movie?”

This version gives just enough to keep you watching. There are several red shirts willingly given as dinosaur fodder. There’s the kids in jeopardy. Why are they even there? There’s the scientists who fight for dinosaurs to be given there space and their right to live without being bothered. There’s Scarlett Johanson looking for a paycheck, and there’s the hero who you knew could not die. This is a complete throw away of a movie, and yet, it is just barely necessary.

Definitely, we don’t need another Jurassic World movie. We got one anyway. If you see it, just enjoy it.
