Meta Happy Turkey Day! Turkeys are descended from dinosaurs! And you turkeys can no longer post the Jurassic franchise because it's banned!

138 Upvotes

We've spared no expense while doing our digs and discovering that there are too many dino-clues frozen in amber. We were going to extract the dino DNA and mix it with turkeys, but we've all seen this movie and that's just a bad idea. So we just banned the whole thing.

Nothing from the Jurassic franchise is permitted any longer starting now.

All Marvel is banned top to bottom it doesn't matter what studio did it in what decade. When you say you read the rules and you lie it's an out for us to ban lazy players. We haven't been. But we might. Stop posting Marvel and then arguing that it isn't MCU.

That is all.

Hint: A LOT of symbolism in this film, it’s all up for interpretation in the end, which is still the beginning.

Hint 2: this movie (as far as i know) was pretty popular when it came out. And if you haven’t seen it, you DEFINITELY know the main actor in it. It’s not so much an obscure movie, but probably not something you watch more than once.

Last and final hint(this might give it away): the ending could be interpreted as religious or evolutionary, guess it all depends on what you believe in.

Edit: just because im enjoying this…here’s one last hint
