!!This series provides examples of:
* AccidentalHero: In Episode 4 ("What If The Spinosaurus was in Jurassic World?"), the ''Spinosaurus'' surprise-attacks the ''Indominus rex'' just in time to prevent it from killing Zach and Gray Mitchell.
* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: The ''Indominus rex''[='s=] counterpart in the Episode 5 timeline, ''[[AdaptationNameChange Diabolus rex]]'', was reared considerably less callously under John Hammond's supervision, having imprinted on Hammond at birth and been kept in the spacious paddock that Rexy occupied in the canon timeline, whereas the canon ''Indominus'' never had anyone to imprint upon and was kept in a more cramped and dismal enclosure. This makes the ''Diabolus'' all the more despicable for matching its canon counterpart's viciousness anyway.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Dennis Nedry in Episode 5 ("What If The Indominus Rex was in Jurassic Park?") was never contacted by [=BioSyn=] and doesn't in any way endanger Jurassic Park or commit corporate espionage like his canon counterpart did.
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** In Episode 5 ("What If The Indominus Rex was in Jurassic Park?"), the ''Indominus''/''Diabolus rex'' had a comparatively less dysfunctional upbringing in this timeline under John Hammond's supervision than its canon counterpart, yet it's just as murderous and evil. It even kills Hammond, the man it imprinted upon at birth where its canon counterpart had never had anyone, without any reservations.
** Simon Masrani in Episode 6 ("What If The Mosasaurus Escaped BEFORE Jurassic World?") comes across as being more deliberately amoral than his canon counterpart was ever shown to be. Whereas the canon Simon was depicted as a [[HonestCorporateExecutive decent guy]] and his megacorporation's shadier activities were suggested to be falling beneath his notice due to the size of his corporate empire, in this iteration, it seems harder for Masrani to ignore that his company was deliberately bribing injured victims of the escaped ''Mosasaurus''[='=] killing spree into silence and was suppressing knowledge. Either way, when this gets Simon into serious trouble with the law, he tries to scapegoat Hoskins.
* AdaptationNameChange: In Episode 5, the ''Indominus rex'', which has been made two decades earlier and with John Hammond's authorisation, but is otherwise the same creature, is instead named the ''Diabolus rex''.
* AxCrazy: The behaviour of the ''Ultimasaurus'' is described as such: "The animal was unpredictable and irrational, its behaviour bullish and aggressive, its mind twisted and warped." When the creature escapes containment, the carnage and devastation that it causes within a short time makes the canon ''Indominus rex'' and ''Indoraptor'' look tame by comparison.
* BehemothBattle: During Episode 4, the ''Spinosaurus'' battles the ''Indominus rex'', and later it battles Rexy.
* DeathByAdaptation: Multiple episodes see characters whom are still alive in canon killed off during events that their canon selves survived.
** Episode 1: Owen Grady and most to all of the main characters of ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'' are killed by the Atrociraptors during the 2015 downfall of Jurassic World.
** Episode 2: Billy doesn't escape downriver from the Isla Sorna aviary and is instead torn apart, on account of the aviary being occupied by ''Quetzalcoatlus'' instead of ''Pteranodon''. In the same episode, Vic Hoskins dies over a decade earlier in the timeline than his canon counterpart, killed while trying to neutralize the escaped ''Quetzalcoatlus''.
** Episode 3: Claire Dearing is killed amid the eruption of Mount Sibo in 2018.
** Episode 4: The original ''Scorpius rex'' is killed by Dr. Wu, who in this timeline fulfills his orders to terminate the hybrid instead of secretly putting it in cryogenic stasis, which also ensures that the ''Scorpius'' never reproduces and the hybrid species is rendered extinct before it could take off. The original ''Spinosaurus'' individual from ''Film/JurassicParkIII'' and ''Camp Cretaceous'' also dies in the early 2000s during a hectic effort to extract its DNA. Zach and Gray Mitchell are both killed during the 2015 downfall of Jurassic Park.
** Episode 5: Ian Malcolm and Tim and Lex Murphy are all massacred by the ''Diabolus rex'' during the downfall of Jurassic Park.
** Episode 8: The ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction Ultimasaurus]]'' manages to kill Owen Grady, Barry Sembène, implicitly Blue, and 80% of all animal life, both human and dinosaur, on Isla Nublar.
* HerbivoresAreFriendly: {{Inverted|Trope}} in Episode 3. The woolly mammoths are just as violent and destructive as any ''T. rex'' in the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise has ever been.
* IgnoredExpert: When the ''Mosasaurus'' is hunting the USS ''Amity'' submarine, Masrani Global Corp's head of security Vic Hoskins contacts the unknowing crew, warning them to cut their engines and await further instructions, but the captain doesn't heed Hoskins' warning in time because "[he's] confused as to why a creature response expert would be attempting to provide a U.S. Naval vessel with advice and guidance."
* ItsAllMyFault: In Episode 5, Robert Muldoon blames himself for the death and destruction wrought by the ''Diabolus rex'' and the downfall of Jurassic Park.
* MeaningfulName: The ''Diabolus rex''[='s=] name roughly means "''devil king''," and it's just as evil and destructive as its canon counterpart while lacking the [[FreudianExcuse tragic and traumatic traits]].
* OriginalCharacter: Marshall Brody is an original character not present in any other licensed or fan-made ''Jurassic Park''/''World'' works.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: The ''Ultimasaurus'' is far more destructive than any of the canon hybrids ever were. Upon escaping its paddock, it wipes out 95% of Isla Nublar's entire security detail and turns Jurassic World's Main Street into a lifeless bloodbath, all inside of just two hours. And post-incident reports suggest that it's afterwards managed to kill over 80% of all human, dinosaur and animal life on Isla Nublar.
* ShoutOut:
** The series {{title sequence}} is a homage to that of the similarly "{{what if}}"-themed episodic, animated series ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021''.
** Marshall Brody, an {{original character}} who is [=InGen's=] chief aquatic geneticist and assists Henry Wu in creating the Mosasaurus in Episode 6, is a very clear shout-out to Martin Brody, the protagonist of ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' who battles the hostile shark. The video even uses a screenshot of Martin Brody from the film when mentioning him.
* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Both Simon Masrani and Vic Hoskins avoid dying during the downfall of Jurassic World in the timelines of Episode 1 ("What If The Atrociraptors Were In Jurassic World?") and Episode 6 ("What If The Mosasaurus Escaped BEFORE Jurassic World?").
** In the timeline of Episode 5 ("What If The Indominus Rex was in Jurassic Park?"), [[AdaptationalHeroism Dennis Nedry]] and Ray Arnold both survive the downfall of the original Jurassic Park.
* TitleSequence: The series has its own title sequence, made in deliberate parody of that of ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021''.
* WhatIf: The premise of every episode hinges on alternate takes on canon ''Jurassic Park'' and ''Jurassic World'' stories, originating from one alteration to the characters' choices or the setting.
