19	* The park management wants to showcase a flock of [[TerrorDactyl pterosaurs]], via a treehouse lodge in their aviary that guests can safely watch them from. However, they need to make sure the pterosaurs are acclimated to the lodge first.\
20	'''You'd Expect:''' For management to build the aviary lodge first, then release the pterosaurs into the aviary (or better yet, hold off on cloning pterosaurs entirely until their enclosure is finished). Since the lodge will have been there from the start, the pterosaurs will come to see it as part of their habitat, acclimating to it instantly.\
21	'''Instead:''' They release the pterosaurs into the aviary and ''then'' start building the lodge around it. Barring the fact that the pterosaurs are [[HairTriggerTemper violently territorial]], the noise and debris that would be generated by the construction of the lodge would inevitably make ''any'' animal living there (humans included) extremely irritable. No points for guessing what happens next.
22	* The ''Dilophosaurus'' are unexpectedly discovered to be poisonous, and pose a serious risk to visitor safety after a nasty incident with one of the keepers reveals they can spit venom at a distance of 50ft. Unfortunately, despite two separate operations, the vets haven't found where the venom glands are situated in the body so they can be removed.\
23	'''You'd Expect''': That park managment would allow the vets to euthanise one to allow them to perform a comprehensive autopsy to find where the venom glands are located in the body. Failing that, they would destroy all the dinosaurs, as their venom-spitting abilities makes them extremely dangerous, posing the high likelihood of a park visitor or member of staff being killed or at the very least [[EyeScream left permanently blind]], not to mention the inevitability of a lawsuit from a grieving family member or injured park visitor/former member of staff.\
24	'''Instead''': Park management refuses to destroy any of the dinosaurs, rendering an autopsy impossible and the ''Dilophosaurus'' still a danger. The closest they come to providing a solution is ensuring an antivenom and eyewash is kept close to the dilophosaur paddock.

28	[[AC:Film/JurassicPark1993]]
29	* Prior to the events of the film, Hammond and his scientists have cloned several ''Velociraptors'', which have proven themselves to be not only extremely dangerous, but very aggressive and extremely intelligent, easily making them the most dangerous dinosaurs in the park. Muldoon notes that they have been testing the electric fences for weaknesses, and in the intro, we see one kill a man named Jophrey Brown. These are animals vicious enough to strip a live cow to the bone in less than three minutes, and they have made it clear they ''want'' to escape.\
30	'''You'd Expect''': That they take Muldoon's advice and destroy the raptors. At the very least, the fact that the raptors have killed a man before would have lead to the animal in question being euthanized in any animal preserve or zoo on the planet. Or, at the very, ''very'' least, keep the animals quarantined in a place where they have no avenues of escape should they break out, and as far from any human beings as possible until they can figure out what to do with them. These aren't animals you want anywhere near a crowd of visiting tourists, barriers or not.\
31	'''Instead''': Hammond insists they remain alive, since he has started viewing them as pets or even children, and has them kept in what amounts to an electrified box in the middle of a clearing, with a dense jungle only yards away. What's worse, he places this enclosure near a critical utility junction for the Park's electrified fences. Eventually, the raptors escape. This conga-line of bad decisions leads to the deaths of their most qualified programmer and animal expert, and nearly leads to Ellie's own death when they all attempt to restore power to the park's compromised electrical fences.
32	* When everybody leaves the island (except for Hammond, Muldoon, Arnold, Nedry, and Grant's group) for the end of the day and because of a tropical storm, Dennis Nedry plans to hack Jurassic Park by turning off the security system (except for the raptor fences) so that he can steal the embryos and escape.\
33	'''You'd expect''': Hammond to have at least actual security guards (if there were any) to stay on the island in case there was a system failure and they could have caught Nedry with the embryos and have him fix the system.\
34	'''Instead''': He has everybody leave the island for the day, and has ''no'' security guards around to stay and prevent anything bad from happening, and Nedry hacks into the system and causes phones and security power to go out. And he steals the embryos. And there is now no way to get Jurassic Park back online.
35	** Speaking of which, Nedry is trying to steal the embyros, and has full access to the park's security system to accomplish this.\
36	'''You'd Expect''': Nedry would be subtle in his sabotage. He needs to get off the island without being caught. With full access to the system, he could strategically crash specific systems in a sequence that would allow him to sneak out without raising suspicion and with minimal risk that the dinosaurs will escape their enclosures. And Nedry's plan isn't a spur of the moment thing; all evidence points to this being an endeavour weeks in the making, so he's had plenty to time to arrange everything.\
37	'''Instead''': His sabotage is a hugely unsubtle full system crash that makes it immediately apparent he is to blame, and he leaves ample proof that it was done maliciously (including a taunting gif that says "Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word"). Unless he was ''trying'' to ruin the park and get everyone killed, which Dodgson never indicated was part of the job, this only serves to backfire on him when the dinosaurs he's let loose kill him when he runs off the road.
38	* Lex has previously been told that dinosaurs are attracted to sound and movement. The car she's in breaks down, and a ''T.Rex'' starts moving around it, eventually attacking the car.\
39	'''You'd expect''': She'd hide in the footwell and be quiet so it would go away.\
40	'''Instead''': She screams and waves a flashlight around, even after her brother ''repeatedly'' tells her to turn it off.
41	* Hammond is building a cross between a nature reserve and a zoo, using cloned animals with unknown properties on a location about as far from help as you can get. So naturally, he spares no expense.\
42	'''You'd expect''': He would spare some of those expenses on failsafes: manual door locks, emergency lighting, and maybe backup generators for those electric fences that keep all the dinosaurs in their own domains, like the ones you can find in hospitals and police stations all over the world. For that matter, maybe someone would notice that the same creatures can be secured just as well with thick steel bars or a large enough moat, like you see in lion and elephant enclosures in normal zoos.\
43	'''Instead''': They don't take any of the safety measures that are standard procedure in places that keep dangerous animals, nor any of those that are standard procedure in places where people might die when the power goes out. And of course they blame their eventual failure on the unpredictability of animal life, as opposed to operating on an island where they didn't have to [[NOOSHACompliance obey OSHA regulations]].
44	* Dennis Nedry has crashed his jeep while trying to give some stolen DNA to Biosyn, a rival company. There's a sign nearby that points to a dock where Nedry is supposed to hand the DNA over.\
45	'''You'd Expect''': Nedry would see the sign and head for the dock by foot. He still has the DNA, so the jeep is no loss.\
46	'''Instead''': Nedry tries to pull the jeep down the falls. He slips, loses his glasses, gets confronted by a ''Dilophosaurus'', is blinded by its acidic spit, and is eaten. He loses the DNA, which is buried under mud.
47	* A dangerous tropical storm is running through the area, on the same day Dennis Nedry and Dodgson had made their plans on their sabotage.\
48	'''You'd Expect''': That Dodgson or Nedry would call off the sabotage for another day. Yeah, it would stink to lose all the money they paid on the boat delivery, but Dodgson is going to recoup the cost quite fast once they get things up and running; having Nedry keep on with the plan under the same time crunch with dangerous conditions afoot seriously increases the chance that the sabotage will go awry. Nedry may be greedy, but even he should realize his own life matters more than his money.\
49	'''Instead''': The delivery man insists on going forward with the sabotage anyway, with little consideration to the level of risk now involved. Unsurprisingly, Nedry's time crunch coupled with the bad weather [[spoiler:gets him killed and ruins the plan when the stolen DNA is buried under mud.]]
50	* After Ray Arnold reboots the system to get the security defences, communications etc. working again, he has to go to the utility shed to flip the circuit breakers.\
51	'''You'd Expect:''' That he'd ask the heavily armed and capable Muldoon to come with him, since they know the T-Rex is roaming the park, along with who knows what other large and easily spooked dinosaurs.\
52	'''You'd Also Expect:''' That the group would consider the possibility that, in turning ''everything'' off, they also turned off the raptor fences.\
53	'''Instead:''' Arnold sets out alone and is killed. Ellie and Muldoon go after him when he doesn't return, and are ''shocked'' that the fences have been deactivated and the raptors are loose!
54	* Alan Grant and Ellie fend off a ''Velociraptor'' that's getting into the control room by trying to push the door closed. Ellie tries to grab Alan's gun, but it's too far away from her and if she moves, the door will open.\
55	'''You'd Expect:''' Either Alan or Ellie to yell to Tim to give them the gun.\
56	'''Instead:''' They just let Tim anxiously wait for his sister to get through the computer system and lock out the ''Velociraptor''.
57	** The ''Velociraptor'' also has her "What an idiot!" moment here.\
58	'''You'd Expect:''' The ''Velociraptor'' to remember that the room has glass windows, abandon the pushing game with the humans and just break in through the window.\
59	'''Instead:''' She doesn't do so until the door gets electromagnetically locked which gives enough time for the humans to escape through the duct system.
60	* At the end of the movie, the survivors make their escape by helicopter.\
61	'''You'd Expect''': The island to be firebombed, since it's been proven that the dinosaurs are too dangerous to be left alive and there are those who would steal them from the island, not to mention that the dinosaurs are in fact capable of breeding. Note that this is exactly what happened in the book, and in the game based on the film.\
62	'''Instead''': They apparently leave the island alone, seemingly in the belief that the dinosaurs will die out naturally due to not getting the lysine supplement they require to survive. Which might have been a valid plan, if not for the fact that they shouldn't have been able to ''breed'' either, yet have found a way to do so.

66	[[AC:Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark]]
67	* Sarah Harding is supposed to be an [[TheAllegedExpert expert in animal handling]]. When we first see her, she is observing a herd of ''Stegosaurus'' and sees one of their young.\
68	'''You'd Expect''': For her to remember one of the most basic rules that even the general public can be expected to know, don't mess around with an [[MamaBear animal's]] [[PapaWolf young]]. Her job isn't to play around with ''Stegosaurus'' kids, it's to take photos of the dinosaurs for a documentary to help support Hammond's efforts to stop a zoo from being made.\
69	'''Instead''': She gets close enough to ''touch'' it, and goes close to the ''Stegosaurus'' nest to take those photos and is somehow surprised when the adults react badly.
70	* After sabotaging the [=InGen=] team, Nick van Owen comes across the baby ''rex'' that Roland injured as a lure for its parents.\
71	'''You'd Expect''': For Nick to let common sense override his compassion and not mess with the baby.\
72	'''Instead''': He brings it back to the trailer.\
73	'''The Result:''' Naturally, [[MamaBear its]] [[PapaWolf parents]] don't take kindly to this.
74	-->'''Malcolm:''' [[{{Understatement}} Mommy's very angry.]]
75	* Malcolm's team and the team from [=InGen=] have to roam the island after their equipment is destroyed by the dinosaurs. Sarah warns everyone about the olfactory powers of ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', which can sniff out just about anything...including the baby ''rex'' blood on her vest. Roland actually points this out to her when he thinks she's injured, and she realises that the blood isn't drying in the humidity of the climate.\
76	'''You'd Expect''': She would ''immediately'' ditch the vest, or at the very least try to wash it or make ''some'' attempt to get the blood off, especially after her info dump about the ''rex's'' powerful sense of smell and her conversation with Roland.\
77	'''Instead''': She doesn't get rid of it or try to clean it. She even hangs it up to dry, which means that even ''more'' of its scent will be carried on the wind. She finally realizes her mistake when there's a ''T. rex'' nose in her tent. Luckily, she wasn't ''wearing'' the vest and the ''rex'' missed her.
78	* This leads to another stupid moment. While the ''rex'' is sniffing inside her tent and Malcolm is nearby, silently wishing it would go away, an [=InGen=] mook wakes up and sees the ''rex''.\
79	'''You'd Expect''': He would do the same thing as Malcolm--keep quiet and try to stay unnoticed.\
80	'''Instead''': He starts screaming at the top of his lungs, both getting the ''rex's'' attention and triggering a panicked stampede. This leads to his death when he trips, his mates trample him and he is finally stomped under the ''rex's'' foot and carried several yards.
81	** Additionally, this is all happening in a campsite filled with experienced mercenaries, who are on edge because they're stranded on an island filled with dangerous predators and one member of their party has ''already'' gone missing, likely dead.\
82	'''You'd Expect''': That when they set up camp, they'd post several guards to keep watch while the others get some rest and alert everyone should they spot a threat.\
83	'''Instead''': Ajay and Ian appear to be the only ones still awake and keeping watch when Roland and his team get back, and Ian is initially the only one who spots the ''T.rex'' in the act of invading the tent.
84	* At one point Nick van Owen and Roland Tembo have a conversation about Roland wanting to hunt the buck ''T.rex,'' and Nick obviously disapproves of Roland's 'Great White Hunter' mentality.\
85	'''You'd Expect''': That Nick would put his activism on hold for the next while, at least until they get back to civilisation. They're on a remote island swarming with very dangerous animals, including two angry ''T.rexes,'' and they need as much protection as they can get. He may not like Ingen or Roland but getting everyone off the island alive is far more important, and even if he likely doesn't care about the mercenaries he surely cares about his friends. Plus he's already seen how his previous actions -- letting the captive dinosaurs loose, bringing the baby ''rex'' back to camp -- ended up stranding them all and causing Eddie's death, and he should realise he needs to give it a rest for now.\
86	'''You'd Also Expect''': That Roland would err on the side of both caution and basic gun-handling and ''never'' leave his weapon lying around unattended, even if he weren't currently travelling with a well known saboteur.\
87	'''Instead''': Nick gets the chance to sabotage Roland's gun, meaning Roland can't shoot the buck ''T.Rex'' when it's attacking their camp; this causes a chain reaction that ends with practically everyone in the group getting killed, save the 'protagonists' and Roland and Ludlow. What's more, because Roland was forced to tranquillise the ''rex'' instead of killing it, Ludlow decides to recoup his losses and has it brought back to San Diego...
88	* When Ludlow's giving a presentation speech at the docks about the opening of Jurassic Park San Diego, in anticipation of the ship arriving with the captured adult ''T-Rex,'' he's alerted by the Ingen harbor master that said ship is neither responding to their hails nor slowing down, meaning it's very likely going to crash into the dock.\
89	'''You'd Expect''': That once it becomes clear the ship's on a collision course, Ludlow, the harbor master and everyone else in the office would start ''running like hell,'' and tell the assembled crowd to run too.\
90	'''Instead''': The whole lot of them just stand and stare at the computer screen showing the ship getting closer and closer, and Ludlow comes out of the office only ''just'' in time to escape being killed when the ship careens out of the mist and pulverizes the building, along with a fair chunk of the harbor.

95	* A group of characters are stranded on Isla Sorna after their plane crashed. Fortunately, one of those characters is Alan Grant, a renowned paleontologist who has first-hand experience with resurrected dinosaurs, and has been hired by a couple whose son disappeared while on a trip near the island to advise them on the ground..\
96	'''You'd Expect''': Everyone else would follow his orders to the letter.\
97	'''Instead''': One of them -- Amanda Kirby -- gripes about having to do what Grant tells them (even her ex-husband is smart enough to heed the advice of the dino expert) and does things like wander off on her own--into a [[RaptorAttack raptor nest]].
98	* This leads to another stupid moment when Billy catches up to the Kirbys at the nest.\
99	'''You'd Expect:''' That Billy, being Grant's protégé in raptor studies, would get everyone away from the nest immediately without disturbing it.\
100	'''Instead:''' He takes two of the eggs to sell once they escape the island. Predictably, [[MamaBear the]] [[PapaWolf raptors]] don't take kindly to this, and Udesky ends up paying the price.

105	* Claire Dearing is a park operations manager at the titular park. Her job requires her to work the regular 24 hours, to deal with investors and potential problems because Masrani trusts her with the way she prefers handling things as cleanly as possible. She finds out that her sister Karen is arranging a divorce and wants Claire to entertain Karen's sons -- Zach and Grey -- while she and Scott go through the proceedings.\
106	'''You'd Expect''': Claire to either explain that she can't drop everything at a moment's notice, or have arranged the time off months ahead of the vacation. As a woman, she faces a higher stigma of maintaining her high-level position, and especially in a park that has a huge amounts of visitors every day.\
107	'''You'd Also Expect''': That Karen and Scott would have been honest with their kids about the divorce. It's not a great thing, but dishonesty is never a good policy. Also you'd expect that the boys would be careful since Jurassic World's legacy is one of dinosaurs rampaging and killing people.\
108	'''Instead''': Claire doesn't do either, and her sister Karen isn't much better. It isn't clear how much time was spent preparing for the trip, although flight time would be at minimum several hours. The kids arrive on a day that Claire is convincing investors to sponsor ''Indominus rex'', and she sets them up with fast passes and a babysitter, her assistant Zara. Karen and Scott also never told their kids, but Grey figured it out after googling the lawyer his mother saw, and he starts to cry when talking to Zach about it. Zach, both because Grey is an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and because he also wants to make sure his brother has a good time, decides to take him in a restricted area to see the "real" park.\
109	'''The Result''': Karen calls Claire to guilt-trip her about spending time with the boys, after she finds out from Zach, and for not having children. Claire cuts off the phone call abruptly, because she has to see Owen Grady about examining the ''Indominus'' paddock. Meanwhile Zach and Grey discover the escaped ''Indominus'', and barely escape with their lives.
110	* The gyrosphere is basically a cross between a golf cart and a giant hamster ball that allows park visitors to get close to dinosaurs without danger. Zach and Grey are out in one when the alarm is called, but they decide to go through a gate that's somehow been left open into a restricted area. \
111	'''You'd Expect:''' The gyrosphers to be programmed to only allow guests to go into designated public areas, and that in the event of an emergency there'd be an automatic recall function that would override the guests' control. \
112	'''Instead''': Zach and Grey are able to drive into a restricted section of the park while ignoring the emergency notification. \
113	'''The Result''': Zach and Grey encounter the escaped ''Indominus Rex'' and are attacked by it, only narrowly avoiding being eaten and forcing Owen and Claire to search for them instead of dealing with the escaped, rampaging super-predator.
114	* The scientists in charge of the eponymous park decide to make a hybrid dinosaur to draw more crowds.\
115	'''You'd Expect:''' The scientists to create a docile dinosaur that wouldn't cause rampage should the attempt ended up failing.\
116	'''Alternatively:''' Instead of focusing on creating more dinosaurs, the company simply resurrect and feature other prehistoric animals such as ''Paraceratherium'', Woolly Mammoth, or even a ''Megalodon''[[note]]They could insert DNA unto their closest relatives for cloning which is such as a Rhinoceros, an Asian Elephant, and a Great White Shark respectively[[/note]]. After all, if visitors start to become bored with dinosaurs, [[BoringButPractical why not educate them on other geological eras and prehistoric animal to the common mass of people so that they will still be enticed to come to their parks]]. Hell, it doesn't even need to be restricted to the Mesozoic up until today. If they ''really'' want to go all out, they could resurrect animals from the Earth's very distant past such as sea scorpions, trilobites, ''Dunkleosteus'', ''Moschops'', [[BigCreepyCrawlies any Carboniferous era arthropod]], ''Wiwaxia'', ''Anomalocaris'', and ''Dimetrodon''[[labelnote:note, spoilers for Dominion]]The latter of which ''did'' get brought back from extinction, but not by [=InGen=] and instead their corporate rivals, Biosyn[[/labelnote]], all animals come from the Paleozoic (from the Cambrian explosion all the way to the Permian), which despite being even longer than the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic, are still very poorly underrepresented in prehistoric media.\
117	'''Instead:''' They create the ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Indominus rex]]'', a highly-aggressive hybrid of ''T.rex'', ''Velociraptor'', ''Therizinosaurus'', snake, cuttlefish, tree frog, ''Carnotaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', ''Rugops'', and ''Giganotosaurus'' DNA. [[GoneHorriblyRight The end result is an unstoppable killing machine which goes on a rampage]].\
118	'''Justification:''' [[spoiler:The ''I. rex'' is the result of a secret program within [=InGen=] to weaponize its genetic technology and the potential of paleo DNA to create a designer AttackAnimal.]] Still, the fact that no one called shenanigans on this until it was too late counts.
119	* Claire and Owen suspect that the dinosaur BigBad has escaped its paddock, but they can track it from the control room, which is fairly far away.\
120	'''You'd Expect:''' Claire, knowing there isn't enough time to get there, to call Lowery from the paddock and ask him if the asset is still in its cage.\
121	'''Instead:''' She gets in her car and calls MissionControl while driving. This is even lampshaded in the WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded parody, where one of the segments has Claire call Lowery from the paddock, finds out the I-Rex is still in there, but can't see it for some reason (because of camouflage [[note]]"Aw nuts!"[[/note]]).
122	* Once the ''Indominus'' has escaped, killing two workers in the process, Owen (who barely avoided the same fate) goes straight to Masrani and tells him to pull out a {{BFG}} and blast her into oblivion.\
123	'''You'd Expect:''' Masrani to do just that, seeing as the ''Indominus'' has just proven herself far too clever and dangerous to be contained. In addition, this advice is coming from the guy that Masrani specifically asked to evaluate the creature.\
124	'''Instead:''' Masrani insists that the Asset Containment Unit subdue the ''Indominus'' with non-lethal weapons, simply because she cost $26 million to create (which would hardly be a loss for "the 8th richest man in the world"[[note]]The real-life 8th richest man in the world, as of February 2021, was estimated to be worth around ''$92 billion''.[[/note]]).\
125	'''As a Result:''' Five ACU troopers are killed, which is just the beginning of a rampage that causes dozens more casualties, both human and dinosaur (including Masrani himself) and ultimately leads to the destruction and abandonment of the park itself. The horrendous suffering and loss of life aside, the financial damage to Masrani Global from lost income, lawsuits, settlements, and whatever else would no doubt make the aforementioned $26 mil look like chump change.
126	* A mixed swarm of predatory pterosaurs is flying straight toward the most populated area in the park.\
127	'''You'd Expect:''' The park's employees to try and usher the tourists to safety or both the tourists and employees to take refuge in the ''multitudes'' of buildings in the park's Main Street. If they can accomplish that before the animals get in, then the pterosaurs will likely just stay there for a while before the ACU shows up to subdue them.\
128	'''You'd Also Expect:''' The park to have set up clearly marked emergency bunkers for guests and staff to hide in in the event that there's a breakout. Also, that the staff will have been drilled in what to do in the event that the animals break free.\
129	'''Instead:''' Both the tourists ''and'' employees start running and screaming in blind panic (and the ones who are already in the relative safety of the buildings ''run out of them''), which not only alerts the pterosaurs to their location but also entices them to chase after them.
130	** Which in turn, leads to another idiot moment for [=InGen=]:\
131	'''You'd Expect:''' That much like in the first film, the people staffing this highly sophisticated and potentially dangerous park would be some of the most experienced and qualified people in the world at their prospective jobs.\
132	'''Instead:''' As showcased during the gyrosphere ride, they appear to be hiring ''anyone'', including a typical "bored teenager in a summer job" stereotype. This becomes especially JustForFun/{{Egregious}} when [[FridgeLogic one realizes]] that even if the kid came from the nearest U.S city (San Diego, California), the company would have had to ship him to Isla Nublar, presumably with all the expenses attached to such a trip, where he would have to be accommodated for.

136	[[AC:Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom]]
137	* The island the dinosaurs are on is the last dinosaur ecosystem on the planet and while keeping it isolated has kept the dinosaurs from interacting with the general public, it's now in danger of being taken out in a massive volcanic eruption. A UN meeting is held regarding the future of said island, during which a prominent mathematician/chaotician who has repeatedly witnessed the destruction that occurs when dinosaurs and man are in close proximity recommends that they let nature take its course and allow the volcano to destroy the island, sending the dinosaurs back into extinction. This is ultimately agreed upon.\
138	'''You'd Expect:''' Everyone to do just that, even the well-intentioned animal rights group (headed by another dino-carnage survivor) who have been advocating for a way to somehow save the dinosaurs.\
139	'''Instead:''' A rich man and co-creator of the dinosaurs approaches her with a Noah's Ark plan to relocate the dinosaurs to yet ''another'' island, which she gleefully accepts. This turns out to be a ruse as the CorruptCorporateExecutive in charge of the rich man's affairs really wants to hold an AuctionOfEvil and sell the dinosaurs off to the highest bidders... on the mainland! By the time our heroes realize they've been duped, they've narrowly survived being stranded on an erupting island and several individuals of 11 surviving dinosaur species have been captured and are en route to the rich guy's estate in San Francisco. [[spoiler: Naturally, they end up getting loose into the world with several having been sold off to unknown fates.]]
140	* Ken Wheatley and his mercenaries have managed to capture Blue and all the other dinosaurs they needed and has revealed his true colors to Owen (who he had partially knocked out with a {{Tranquilizer Dart}}) and the rest of the Dinosaur Protection Group.\
141	'''You'd Expect:''' That he [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just shoots]] Owen dead and orders the others to be fired upon if sighted, because it's not like there would've been any evidence of their murders left.\
142	'''Instead:''' He decides to just leave them there believing that they will die in the eruption of the island. Of course, our [[PlotArmor Plot Armored]] heroes make it out alive and are determined to stop them.
143	* Owen and Claire follow the villains as they're taking the dinosaurs somewhere.\
144	'''You'd Expect:''' For them to just break off from the delivery group after tending Blue, find a town where they can contact Lockwood as soon as they can alerting him of everything that's happening under his nose, and have him send in the troops after Mills and Wheatley.\
145	'''Instead''': They get captured because they figure out the obvious solution at the very last moment, but manage to escape due to another gratuitous VillainBall from Mills and Wheatley not killing them despite having NO reason to keep them alive (or leave a mook to keep an eye on them) [[spoiler: and instead of looking for a phone to call the authorities to catch the villains while the dinosaurs stay in their cages, they break into the black market auction unleashing a ''Stygimoloch'' without a real plan for the sake of avoiding the purchase of the ''Indoraptor'', which instead provokes a series of events that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero set it free and eventually get all the other dinosaurs running out into the wild]]]].
146	* Speaking of Lockwood, Maisie has discovered Mills' scheming and tries to tell him, but isn't believed, until the old man finally pieces it together himself that Mills is going to sell the dinosaurs on the black market.\
147	'''You'd Expect:''' That he'd call the cops on Mills and his associates below right away.\
148	'''Instead:''' He calls Mills into his room and orders him to pick up the phone and call the police to turn himself in.\
149	'''The Result:''' With no witnesses around and being in complete control of the situation against a defenseless and feeble elderly, Mills [[spoiler: simply smothers Lockwood to death in response]].
150	* Wheatley, the GreatWhiteHunter-wannabe who helped capture the dinos for the aforementioned auction, comes upon the recently-created ''Indoraptor'' and hits it with two {{Tranquilizer Dart}}s. After it goes down, he decides to indulge his penchant for trophy-collecting by taking a tooth from it, just like with every other dino he captures.\
151	'''You'd Expect:''' That if he really wants the tooth that badly, he'd at least confirm that the ''Indoraptor'' is actually asleep. And then make sure that it's fully restrained.\
152	'''Instead:''' He doesn't. And then it turns out that the ''Indoraptor'' is still awake, and it mauls Wheatley to death.

157	* Barry is an experienced member of French Intelligence who has been investigating Soyona Santos's dinosaur smuggling operation for years. He holds her at gunpoint with her hands raised when he finally arrests her, while Owen makes his way to the plane Claire is boarding.\
158	'''You'd Expect:''' Knowing that Soyona had a laser pointer she used to sic the ''Atrociraptors'' on their victims, and not knowing if she has any other hidden weapons, he would demand that she keeps her hands visible at all times, and shoot her if she refuses to comply.\
159	'''Instead:''' Barry does nothing, allowing Soyona to tag Owen by sliding her hands behind her head and grab the laser attached to her bracelet and leading to Owen himself being chased by an ''Atrociraptor''.
