It is not a matter of being homophobic it is the stopping the movie and the story to tell the audience, JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW THIS CHARACTER IS GAY!!!. It is annoying.
Do you feel the same way when it becomes obvious a character is straight?
I can't be bothered stepping into any discussion like this because there is little room for reason with all sides usually taking an extreme stance one way or the other, but I guess I'm doing it now xD I suppose it's less of a thing when a character is "obviously straight" because it's naturally assumed they would be straight anyway, by just about anyone watching something, even a gay person I would guess. Thing is, if a character is gay, they have to have it known somehow, otherwise they are as good as straight to the audience. No different to anything else that is a particular characteristic. All things considered though, the scene that was cut was not the best way to let the audience know she was a lesbian if they intended her to be a lesbian. The dialogue and just imagining the scene in general it feels a like a weird scene to me! That being said I would like to see it anyway because it's more footage to watch.
You're unbelievable. It could not be more obvious that pandering has reached intolerable levels. These tropes are included for no reason other than to include them. They have NOTHING to do with the story, they simply use the story as a chance to pander.
So sad that anyone who I thought had half a brain is completely clueless on this.
It's called character development.
Now given, the way Daniella described the scene makes it sound like it's for the best it was cut. It sounds clunky, unnatural, and tacked on. But the act of simply including a character who isn't straight is not some giant ordeal as some of the commentators here would imply - and the lack of representation of gay characters in Hollywood is exactly why these things are rallied behind so strongly.
Chill out with the hyperbole.
I agree. But I just say let it go and move on. That's there decision. I just ignore it and move on. Plus that's the trend nowadays, she prolly not even gay, just want to be "cool"😒
Why? Is it necessary to the plot? Is it necessary to the subject matter of the film? Pandering is ruining everything. SJW progressive agenda is tainting every last facet of entertainment. Disgusting. No, i'm not homophobic. I'm just tired of diversity and tolerance being forced down people's throats. People go to movies for escapism.
Remember Star Wars... That is all.
What a clunky way to reveal someone, it honestly comes off as "Chris Pratt is EW because I'm GAY!". Can you imagine if a straight guy out of no where looked at a gay character and said "You know, you're completely disgusting, but if I was gay you'd be in my bed". It's just scummy. She could've casually mentioned her girlfriend, or her ex, the time she was kicked out of the house, ask Claire if she was available, hell even make out with another woman, almost anything would've been more natural than that line.
Well her making out with another woman might have been worse...
This was an unpleasant surprise, and I'm glad they cut this, this would have brought the movie down ever further. We ought not feature any more promotion of LGBT+ (or feminism for that matter), and we certainly should not have it in Jurassic Park.
Because everyone other movie wasn't about straight white people shoving their straight white people agenda down our throats.
Yeah, I'm glad it was cut. Yeesh.
All I kind think of is "Dodgson, we've got Dodgson here!"...
I have tickets to see it Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I saw the first JW 3 times as well opening weekend.
While I would have loved them to release the full 2 hour and 40 min cut, I understand why they wanted to keep it around the same length of the other movies (minus the super short JP3).
Man could you imagine 2 1/2 hour Jurassic movie. AWESOME.
Maybe an extended edition. Like The Hobbit Movies.
What the hell Jurassic World.
I thought it was very fast paced too. Not in a bad way, but as you said, hardly any time to breathe. I would love to see a Jurassic film that long though, and I'm really hoping they'll include deleted scenes when it comes out on dvd.
Hopefully it will be possible to see the full cut (or at least the deleted scenes) in the home release.
Saw it for the third time today. The story really revvs the moral greys in the story, more so than the previous film. Loving the beginning sequence.
I wouldn't say this scene was necessary but the movie did feel kind of short. Especially the Nublar scenes, they could've atleast shown us a few other dinosaurs getting captured besides Blue.
The Indoraptor scenes in Lockwood Manor were cool but I'd also like those scenes to be longer , though the Indo would eventually run out of people to kill ;)
They really get those dinosaurs packed and off the island super quickly.
yeah.
why must they ruin everything
"Important"
That's not important. Stop buying into the nonsense that we need to know gay characters are gay. As if they're not gay unless that is pointed out in some obtuse way.
Heaven forbid some representation. Out of the dozens of prominent characters in this universe, realistically some would be gay, and yes, they may mention. It's ridiculous that people are so against it being included. It's one line.
I kind of assumed it anyway. People can be gay without a stupid pandering line to point it out.
"Some representation". No. I'm sure they were pressured into including some stupid trendy trope such as highlighting a gay character's gayness, and thankfully Bayona had the balls to say "this isn't relevant to the story". Which most writers and directors don't have the courage to do in the face of Hollywood today.
A contrived line. It'd stick out like a sore thumb and leave most people wondering why it was in there. Probably means it doesn't belong, good call on cutting it out.
No it sounds to me you want movies to just ignore the fact that gay people are REAL and EVERYWHERE. Even in your movies.
This is the equivalent of people peeved about people of color beginning to appear in movies back in the day.
You'd rather pretend we don't exist.
Here, here.
I'm sick of the pandering. Was it so important that Gray was autistic in JW? Nope, they never mentioned it. He was a person, not defined by one part of him.
Wait he was autistic?
He was written to be, yeah. And honestly, I accept that he was anyway due to his behaviour.
Really?! I had no idea. I honestly just thought Gray was excited to be in Jurassic World the theme park. I mean, I'm a teen and I still would have wanted to go on the spinning Dino eggs and ride the trikes, because HOLY CRAPPP!!!! Dinosaurs!!! You would also think that the parents would be harder on Zach because he's mean to his AUTISTIC BROTHER. I mean, I see why it was cut, but I don't think he was autistic in the final cut anyway like Ben says.
Here, Here, dilly dilly, yo ho, and everything else I am supposed to say.
Jurassic Park has been free of this craziness and has been doing fine, it doesn't need it to be "cool" in this day and age.
Yes, I am a curmudgeon.
Ugh...
I, for one, am glad they cut it. Even so, I've yet to hear anything that really makes me excited to spend money to see this...
Cojone ... una tortillera. .. why would this even be a thing ?
We dont give those kind of scenes the importance they have... jurassic park has them, the lost world has them.. in the latest movies they dont, its all about showing more and bigger.. which is great but not very effective without the - lets call them - "resting" scenes
I can agree we don't have "resting" scenes but this was just one line that probably was going to be on the plane ride where Owen pops out from behind the seat. It only would have extended the scene a few seconds longer and caused a controversy.
Commenters are homophobic. The lgbt scene would have been nice.
