Zara says, "Go Fish."
One of the napkin ideas I proposed to the kids while we were biking to camp yesterday was to draw the Indominus Rex, the Pteradactyl and the ill fated assistant/babysitter Zara sitting around a camp fire toasting marshmallows inside the Mosasaurus ala Gepetto and Pinocchio in the whale. (Belated Spoiler Alert!)
The kids' responded, "Oh, that's what happens at the end of the LEGO Jurassic World game!...Except they are playing cards and using a flare for light." I decided to follow the LEGO logic and draw the characters playing cards and using the flare also because... firewood would be wet... and where would they have gotten the marshmallows anyway? (We need to keep these napkin images plausible after all)
I always appreciate LEGO games' humorous lack of fatalities. As I mentioned in a previous Jurassic World themed post, Zara's death in the movie by Pteradactyl and Mosasaur seemed unnecessarily nasty and it feels nice to provide her with an afterlife. I discovered last night, while trying to find an image of her, that interestingly, she is also the first female death in the history of the Jurassic Park/ World franchise. Gender politics aside, unlike all the other deaths, her demise was particularly memorable in its awfulness and has been an ongoing topic of conversation for my sons long after the movie.
I did not find any images online of the LEGO game card game scene until I sat down to post this today. It appears at the very end of the game.
The kids said I did an ok job anyway.
No death in the lego games aye? indeed, but what if they stay in the mosasaurs stumic , just like, waiting to see if they get digested or it starves. Could you imagine starving with a belly full of food? Lol so the blade that pierces all strikes the indestructible shield.
