I HAD THIS EXACT Conversation with some friends!

I was expecting it would explain at some point that this trip was to soften the blow of their reveal about the divorce to the boys, or that we'd hear at least something again, like the younger brother coming to terms with it, BUT NO!

The same thing with the older brother being a dick and just telling him he needed to grow up.

"Oh, okay, probably foreshadowing the younger brother doing something heroic and badass to save his older brother, thus showing us that he has actually begun to grow up and be brave."

NO.

FUCKING NO.

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THIS FUCKING CONVERSATION! THE BOYS WERE TOTALLY INCONSIQUENTIAL TO THE PLOT! Even if the boys hadn't been there, Chris Pratt would've still wound up having to go with the raptors, because the use of the raptors was triggered after the Indian guy died and the Ingen military guy took over, and so literally the ENTIRE MOVIE would've happened regardless of their being there. I'd even go so far as to say it would've been BETTER without them.

It was obvious they were meant to be used to try and relate to younger audiences, to an almost pathetic level, which is what I assume the completely random divorce conversation was about, and the shit about the totally pointless girlfriend and all the girls, but NOBODY. NO-FUCKING-BODY acts the way the older brother does.

Dinosaurs were created only 20 years back in this movie's timeframe. Older brother can't be older than 17. There's no way he's ever seen a dinosaur in person before. And yet he's busy looking at fucking girls every five seconds. U FOKIN SRS BRO? There is literally a scene where he is more preoccupied with his phone and a girl than THE FUCKING T-REX DEVOURING A LIVE GOAT NOT MORE THAN 10 YARDS IN FRONT OF HIM. BULLSHIT! THIS MUST BE THE MOST ANTI-FUN, ANGSTY TEENAGER EVER, BECAUSE FUCKING NOBODY ACTS LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE!
