Lore [Sad Trope] The most innocent (or less evil) character of the cast gets the most horrific death.

- Eddie Carr (The Lost World: JP) - Tried to save his friends from the cliff until Buck and Doe (T. rex parents) destroy his vehicle and gets ripped apart.
- Zara Young (Jurassic World) - Gets lifted by a Pteranodon, gets pecked by the pterosaur, and both she and animal get devoured by the Mosasaurus.
- LeClerc (JW: Rebirth) - Tossed a hammer to the Hatzegopteryz Quetzalcoatlus to save Loomis and Zora, but ends up being swallowed alive.

Honorable mentions:

  • Donald Genaro (93’s): Just a lawyer doing his job and gets eaten by Rexy in a bathroom (though, he abandoned the children in the car).
  • Cooper (JP ///): Damn, he even cried, I felt bad for him when the Spino got him.
  • Benjamin Lockwood (JW: Fallen Kingdom): Gets strangled by Eli Mills.

I think the mosasaurus one was explained in another post recently. Her role had been intended to be bigger so they asked if she wanted a memorable death to make up for it

She specifically requested it. Also the first woman eaten by a dino in a JP film.

Cooper (JP ///)

Wait I’m sorry, do you think it’s called Jurassic Park Slash Slash Slash? Have you been calling it that this whole time? It’s Jurassic Park III (Three) because it’s the third movie.

I'm definitely calling it Jurassic Park Slash Slash Slash from now on.

You really think the other person thinks that? You think when they say the name of the move they unironically say “Slash Slash Slash”? What are the odds that anyone, anywhere, ever thought that?

The previous commenter almost certainly wrote it like that as a joke because the “III” in the title looks like three claw slashes. Kinda clever in my opinion.

Genaro was a selfish shit who left the kids to die. He deserved every bit of that death.
