I hate the Tarbosaurus from Jurassic World : Camp Cretaceous
Not that I hate the real animal. Nah nah, it's in my top 15 favorite dinosaurs. But everything about this cinematographic tyrannosaurian disgrace of an animal is pitiful.
I mean, it's just a JP T.rex, but painted red, with bigger brow ridges and those ugly spikes on the back. Literally, it's nearly the size of a T.rex (second image), but bulkier, while it was nowhere near as big as its cousin IRL (third image).
And God, don't even get me started on its fight against Rexy (the saga's most famous rex). Tarbo was ragdolling her ass all over the place and, had it not been for the kids, Rexy would've DIED. I'm biased towards Rexy, I acknowledge it, but come THE FUCK ON ! T.rex is to Tarbosaurus what a jaguar is to a leopard in real life : a much bigger, tougher, more powerful version.
Had the tarbo been of correct proportions and not movie-monsterized like that (along with not beating Rexy to a pulp in their fight), it would've been better, but NoOoO, of course the T.rex must get whooped by another megatheropod, even all those years after Jurassic Park 3 and Jurassic World (yes, that's a little foreshadowing on another rant of mine about the Jurassic franchise).
