Every Jurassic World T-Rex Ranked: Who’s the Real King (or Queen) of the Dinosaurs?

by

Summary

  • Bull, a short-lived Rex in Jurassic Park 3, sparked controversy for its memorable battle with Spinosaurus.
  • The Striped Rex in Jurassic World: Rebirth evokes the original scary T-Rex, adding terror to the franchise.
  • The original T-Rex, Rexy, has gone on to have a legacy, returning in multiple Jurassic World movies and shows.

In the Cretaceous era, the Tyrannosaurus Rex reigned supreme, leaving a lasting impression of strength and ferocity since its unearthing in 1902. The Jurassic World series has brilliantly depicted the fear and grandeur of these colossal creatures, making them the iconic image that adorns every film poster.

As a devoted cinema enthusiast who can’t get enough of the Jurassic World saga, I must say that over the years, various T-rexes have made their mark in these movies and Netflix animated series. Some of these beasts have become legendary icons within this franchise, gracing our screens multiple times, while others have had a brief but memorable appearance. The T-rexes that truly stand out are those that exhibit unparalleled ferocity and lethality amidst a world teeming with dinosaurs. They’ve demonstrated incredible feats – from taking down hybrid monsters to terrorizing city streets.

8. Junior

T-Rexes Can Also Be Deadly As Infants

  • Appeared In: The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Adorable baby dinosaur characters like “Junior” from “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” who’s born to Buck and Doe, aren’t as strong as their adult counterparts seen in the “Jurassic World” series. This weakness is emphasized when Junior gets disabled by hunters, using his distress calls to attract his parents.

Despite appearing vulnerable as a young Tyrannosaurus named Junior, he surprisingly demonstrated his strength upon recovery and, with his father’s aid, Buck, managed to slay a fully-grown human. As time has passed, the franchise could consider reintroducing Junior, now grown into an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex, to explore how he has developed over the years.

7. Bull

This Short-Lived Rex Spawned Controversy Among Fans

  • Appeared In: Jurassic Park 3

As a die-hard dinosaur enthusiast, I’ve got to say that when it comes to full-grown Tyrannosaurus rex from the Jurassic Park series, the smallest one we’ve seen so far is none other than “Bull” from Jurassic Park 3. Poor guy crosses paths with the flawed Spinosaurus on Isla Sorna, leading to an unforgettable but debated face-off between these colossal beasts. This historic event marked the first time a T-rex met its end on screen in the franchise.

In a striking contrast, Bull is easily recognized by his bright green skin, yet despite his fighting spirit, he appears weaker compared to the Spinosaurus, due largely to his smaller size and disadvantageous position. A popular fan theory suggests that Bull could be Junior from “The Lost World,” as both films take place on the same island. However, the coloring of these two dinosaurs does not align with this assumption.

6. Striped

Ripped Straight Out Of Michael Crichton’s Novel

  • Appeared In: Jurassic World: Rebirth

In the movie “Jurassic World: Rebirth”, the filmmakers predominantly introduced fresh dinosaurs, but the iconic T-rex still captivated audiences with a newly designed striped variant inhabiting Ile Saint-Hubert. Unlike its heroic portrayal in previous films, this striped T-rex echoes the terrifying image of the Tyrannosaurus from the original “Jurassic Park” series by instilling fear as it pursues humans.

In “Jurassic World: Reborn”, they revisit the classic Michael Crichton “Jurassic Park” novel by featuring a thrilling scene where a family of humans are pursued by a striped T-rex on a vibrant yellow raft, much to the delight of fans. Director Gareth Edwards successfully brought this exciting sequence to life, making the Tyrannosaurus one of the standout elements in the film.

5. Little Eatie

A Juvenile Who Took After Her Mother

  • Appeared In: Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous

In another Mantah Corp-managed island, viewers met Little Eatie, a young T-rex who resided with her mother, Big Eatie. The duo was overseen by Dr. Mae Turner in “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.” The smaller and less formidable nature of Little Eatie significantly influenced the ruthless scheme orchestrated by characters Kash Langford and Daniel Kon, who sought to force dinosaurs into combat against each other, reminiscent of Pokemon battles, under mind control.

In the aftermath of Mantah Corp’s mind control, Little Eatie endures multiple injuries, some inflicted unintentionally by her own mother. Despite this, Little Eatie exhibits more resilience than anticipated when she battles and manages to outlive both a Spinosaurus and a Carnotaurus. In due course, she and her mother manage to subdue the Spinosaurus, compelling it to withdraw.

4. Doe

Never Mess With A Mother T-Rex

  • Appeared In: The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic World: Dominion

In “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” instead of a single T-rex, the audience encounters a dominant pair, Doe and her partner, Buck, who function as a formidable couple. They rule over Isla Sorna and pose a constant danger when their offspring, Junior, is endangered by humans.

Deer and Elk, driven by vengeance, push and roll the Gatherers’ trailers off a precipice, resulting in the deaths of numerous Poachers. Moreover, Deer demonstrates an extraordinary strength by effortlessly tearing apart one of the Gatherers’ SUVs with her jaws. In many aspects, Deer mirrors real-life mother bears who fiercely protect their cubs and respond aggressively to threats, but on a significantly broader scale in this case.

3. Big Eatie

She Can Be Just As Sweet As She Is Fearsome

  • Appeared In: Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory

On Mantah Corp Island, Big Eatie is affectionately known as Little Eatie’s mother and has left a lasting impression during the last two seasons of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. She is one of the calmer Tyrannosaurus Rexes in the series, demonstrated by her nurturing bond with her offspring and her kind interactions with the Nublar Six, particularly Darius Bowman, who forms a special connection with her.

The Jurassic World films underscore that dinosaurs are creatures of nature, not terrifying movie monsters, and Big Eatie serves as an illustration of this. Yet, despite this depiction, she maintains a powerful presence within the realm of dinosaurs. In Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, she squares off against a Spinosaurus and other fierce dinosaurs, demonstrating her might and supremacy, showcasing these qualities in combat.

2. Buck

His Rampage Through San Diego Is Iconic

  • Appeared In: The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic World: Dominion

In “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” Buck, among the Tyrannosaurus Rex parents, is particularly renowned due to his distinctive dark green color and his notorious rampage alongside his mate, Doe, primarily to safeguard their offspring. They frequently chase humans to defend their territory and kin, marking one of the earliest instances in the “Jurassic” series where dinosaurs are portrayed as more animal-like rather than monstrous.

Many spectators regard Buck as being almost equally iconic as the initial T-rex from Jurassic Park, primarily because of his significant role in the climax of The Lost World. During this part, an out-of-control Buck wreaks havoc through San Diego, inflicting damage on innocent bystanders while under the influence of drugs and dehydration. Even sturdy metal and glass doors fail to halt him as he attempts a daring rescue of Junior from humans.

1. Rexy

The Queen Of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World

  • Appeared In: Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Jurassic World: Dominion

In the realm of Jurassic Park and its subsequent films, including the first three Jurassic World movies, it’s undeniably Rexy who takes the lead due to her extensive experience. She was the Tyrannosaurus Rex audiences initially encountered in Jurassic Park, and her recurring role has solidified her status as a seasoned dinosaur and the film’s main attraction. Known for her menacing presence on Isla Nublar, she quickly became an iconic dinosaur and a key player in the movies.

In the movie “Jurassic World”, Rexy, the T-Rex, made a grand comeback, this time portrayed as a neutral hero. She teamed up with Blue the Velociraptor and the Mosasaurus to vanquish Indominus Rex. In the subsequent film, “Jurassic World: Dominion”, she had an epic showdown with the Giganotosaurus, solidifying her position as the undisputed ruler of the dinosaurs, a title that seems set to last indefinitely.
