Is female? Would anyone have batted an eye if it were another male character that was killed?
sharehopefully the underwater dinosaurs teeth did not penetrate Zara, it spit out Zara and she swam to safety
shareOf course!
Violence against women is sexist! That is just a FACT in a leftist controlled society...
Shoot a female in a movie, movie is misogynistic and promotes violence against women.
Thousands upon thousands of men died in the course of the whole movie history...meh, who cares?
There goes equality!
No I´m not whining. I´m just stating the obvious. Men don´t get triggered by watching men dying. Women are overemotional and this whole offended-victim-hood movement only proves it even more
How dare you ...
... say what is true. I agree for the most part.

And because she is attractive.
shareWhat uproar are you talking about? Zara was little more than an extra in the film. We don't know anything about her character other than she's an employee and probably personal assistant to Claire. Why would anyone care if she died? And I guess I'm one of those leftists you're talking about.
shareI'm a leftist and I didn't care that she died. Well, I mean, I did, as in, "Oh, no, that poor woman!" but I didn't get angry at the film or the people who made it.
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
If the executive assistant had been a harried 20-something man who was doing his best to take care of the boys and was suddenly grabbed and tossed to a horrific death then yeah - it would have been every bit as baffling and frustrating.
I don't care about Zara being female. I care about her being a neutral-good character who's tortured to death by random chance for no apparent reason.

Yup. There wouldn't be an uproar if the character was a villain.
"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"
To give just a few examples, characters like Jophery, Mr Arnold, Muldoon, Eddie Carr, and Udesky didn't really deserve to suffer and die either. This has never been a franchise where only villainous characters are at risk.
And Zara wasn't really doing her best to take care of the kids. The boys only evaded her in the first place because she was more interested in chatting on the phone about her dislike for her fiancé's friends.
Udesky is a good example, and I did find his death jarring. However, it served to show that the raptors were calculating and ruthless.
Zara's extended death sequence served no purpose (other than to keep us talking about the movie, which would also be calculating and ruthless...)

To be fair child care isn't generally part of a PA's job and she was mainly on the phone because she was trying to organise her wedding.
shareJophrey was setting up the threat and died off screen.
Mr Arnold died off screen.
Eddie Carr died very quickly(once he was actually bitten).
Udesky was used as bait.
Muldoon died fast.
Yes, people have to be killed by dinosaurs to up the stakes and if only "bad" people died the stakes would be low. The issue with Zara's death isn't that she died. It is that she had the most brutal drawn out death for no reason. It did not further the plot like Eddie and Udesky, and was the type of death reserved for the worst people(unless it serves a the plot). Zara's death was just wrong and pointless. It added nothing except confusion as to what she did to deserve that(or more likely what the writers were thinking).
Perhaps she was a royal evil b!tch but that was edited out and we were left with an expensive CGI death scene they didn't want to waste. They should have had her responsible for the park going awry. Then it would have been a perfect death.
I dunno. I think it was set up as a conflict/resolution.
Conflict: Issues with the wedding.
Resolution: Kill the bride.
I am betting more grooms are wishing Mososaurs were around when they need them. Lmao
It's a stupid movie anyway.
shareZara's death was wrong. I stopped watching the movie which I had been enjoying up till then. It should have been Bryce Dallas Howard or the older nephew who deserved to get eaten like that, they were the bad ones who caused the problems, not Zara who was innocent, her death was just the usual Spielberg sadism, he is a revolting human being.
Another theory of mine is that she rejected some J-World VIP's sexual advances and they did this as a result, why else so cruel and viscous? If it was Bryce Dallas Howard or the older nephew, ti would have been fun and enjoyable and I could have finished watching the movie.
anyone named Sarah with a Z deserves to get murdered by a shark
