An in-depth discussion of how Eric Kirby could have survived on Isla Sorna. The movie didn't show us what happened, so it's up to our imagination. Here are my thoughts. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
LUV the video, great speculation but, I can't help it. CANON is not pronounced 'ka-NON' ??? How about next time you try 'CAN-un". 8-)
Thanks! Truth is, the first time I heard that word, it was in that way, so I've said it that way since. I'll fix that if I ever need that word again LOL
heh ... I thought you were saying "Kanan" at first and for a moment couldn't figure out how Star Wars: REBELS was related to JP: III.
David B Dornbur
Jeremy James Prutchick So,how was Eric able to find a bathroom?
Anthony Nunez he used the bathroom in the swamp I bet
I have a saying..."Adapt or Die" and eric did it beautifully
There's actually a quote in the JP Survivor novel; "Adapt or perish".
I believe this movie could have been made much better if they would have rather focused on Eric's survival and his entire stay in Sorna and topped it with some of Dr. Grant's fantastic instinctive scenes. First 45 minutes should have depicted Eric's survival and the next 1 hour or less could have been a rescue operation where his parents were shown to a minimum. Just the story of them separating and engaging Dr. Grant deviously is enough. The adventures on the island were definitely thrilling in the second half and could well be a part of this operation. If they would have done it this way, they could've covered more dinosaurs, explained the entire Isla Sorna setup and also engaged the audience.
Wow this gave me more thought to the Eric. As I once thought of him as a "lucky child" who survived because plot armor. I couldn't imagine a world where a 12 year old survives on dinosaur island for 8 weeks by himself. I find it amazing how smart, calm and collected Eric was despite his situation. And running into that dangerous bastard Spinosaurus and surviving the encounter makes me like Eric as a character even more.
Pat Teh Duck Kids can be very adaptable and are more survival driven than adults. An adult would be more likely to prioritize getting help/off the island (because of a sense of "I'm an adult, I should be capable of getting out") whereas a child would be more likely to immediately resign themselves to the fact that they are stuck and start looking for survival options in hope adults would rescue them eventually. Kids also tend to be more single-minded and more creative in problem solving because they spend less time having existential crises or quasi-theological debates over _why_ the situation happened to them. They aren't thinking about "oh God if I die, who will help my spouse pay off our mortgage?!" Kids are used to being subject to circumstances they might not like while having to work around obstacles (adults) that tend to be threatening to their will. If you think about it, dodging velociraptors isn't necessarily that much different than dodging parents. They both have a very deep, instinctual draw to find you and get you under their control, both are stronger and bigger than you, and both can be very intimidating. Now let's cue the existential crisis for adults about how Eric's survival is actually an allegory for surviving childhood and we all still have an inner Eric that's terrified of the dinosaurs around him but, like Eric, we've learned to work around them and we might even have a Rex for a boss at work and we tolerate the monster because we feel powerless to do anything and we all just want someone to come in and rescue us and the only sense of security we brought with us remains dead in a tree (unresurrected Christ figure) and we cry out at night wondering why life feels like we're just filling up the time until we die with meaningless activity and cat memes to avoid raptors and Rex's.
intresting thought there. now i can't stop thinking of raptors with somebody that is a parent face on it or somebody that is a parent acting like a raptor. then again it doesn't need to be a parent for that image to be in my mind.
I would have given up before 8 weeks was up.
The only real difference between a island paradise and a island of immanent death is weather or not you are worthy to not only figure out the trick to survival, but also do it so well that you actually don't want to go back to all those horrible people in that place you spent years forced to call home, surrounded by countless billions of both nabors and passing pedestrian and car traffic per hour. You finally get to have a vacation from being crowded. You finally get to be alone.
The number of herbivores is just right. If it was not so they would devower the jungle. The number of carnivores is just right, if it was not so they would devower the herbivores, thus their isn't enough company to feel crowded.
Also their is the beautiful jungle rather then the ugly mess people have a habit of accidently replacing jungles with.
Perhaps you could decide, I don't want a ship to spot me on the beach. Don't you know their are pirates in Coastarica? They favor the Israelite assault rifle and only a few years ago it was discovered they have their own cargo submarines for smuggling marawana and are even built with comfort in mind. What if it is a crew of pirates who come to your "rescue"? You may be safer with the spino.
Heck, the spino would probably not be so hard. Just set a spike fence and let it charge into them. It don't know the big pointy things will hurt it, its just a dumb animal. But a pirate with an RPG? Count me out on that one! Oh look, the dumbass spino killed its self on my spikes, meat and hide to last the month. Hide armor and hide shield, perhaps with some javelins made from the scrap metal of the facilities hide and a stick from behind a hide shield. At least you may clip 3 or 4 raptors before the 5th gets you if you are forced into that situation. Don't mess with raptors, numbers are a decisive factor to that battle, but if you have to stealth them out when they are alone, then hide in a tree. Assuming the smell of the spino hide don't scare them off anyway.
If compys come for you don't let them bite you. Their bite has a tranquilizing effect, but every once in a while before going into your shelter just spear one and drag it in, then break its neck. Even if you can't make fire if it is fresh and warm it shouldn't be a problem, many cultures enjoy a good raw steak as it is. But if you can make fire its better to make it into jerky and save up on it.
Never mind, the main cast just arrived. I suppose we could just finish our movie.
Eric is the only smart kid in the whole franchise. All the other kids make me roll my eyes lol.
I don't believe the pee theory simply because JP3 refuted it, at least amongst the Sorna rexes. I believe that Eric may have traveled into Rex territory while running from raptors. Noticing that his captors refused to take another step towards him, Eric would have racked his brain trying to figure out why they gave up. Then he'd smell it. Ammonia, like his face was wrapped in a hospital biohazard bag. After realizing that it was pee, he wondered briefly what animal's pee it was. Then he saw the corpses. The skeletons. And the gawky little bipeds cowering nearby, huddled together like puppies. He knew instantly where he was. A Rex nest. Eric, now knowing that this was Tyrannosaur territory, knew he had to leave. A not-too-distant roar told him that an adult was nearby. Feeling the ground start to shake, Eric suddenly realized that he was trapped. Leave, and raptors pick up the chase. Stay, and he'd become a happy meal. Without any more hesitation, Eric scooped up the peepee dirt and rubbed it all over him, all over his clothes and hair and every part of him. The big rex was getting closer, he could hear it just past some dense trees nearby. What to do? What to do? The rex was here. No more time. Eric dove into the nearest cover he could....a rock formation directly across the clearing from the staring baby rexes. The adult arrived; huge, brownish-green with faded stripes down its back. Eric watched in awe, taking in every detail. The animal was muscular, it looked like every inch of it was filled with rock. From its jaws hung a beheaded corpse, light-brown and enormous. The rex chicks left their cover and chirped excitedly. The adult set the body down, expecting the chicks to start digging in. However, they just continued chirping and jumping around. The adult lowered its head to listen to its children, and from their mad chittering, gathered that there was something strange in the nest. The rex sniffed. It didn't smell anything, nothing but meat and pee. Smelled like home. The chicks, however, started inching towards Eric's hiding spot. The adult looked over in his direction, and Eric froze. Those eyes, binocular like a person's, seemed to stare right into his. The chicks chirped higher now, indicating that their father was looking the right way. The adult rex lumbered over to the bush, almost in slow motion, Eric thought. It was so big, it was nearly there in five strides. Eric froze. There was nothing he could do, no way to escape this. The next second, the tyrannosaur was standing above him, looking straight down into the bush. Eric stayed frozen, praying that he wouldn't be seen. The huge animal took another step, close to the bush. Eric stared at the beast. With another stomp and a deafening roar, Eric was forced to fall backward out of the bush. Now in the open, he knew it was over. He knew he'd feel those huge teeth rip into him and tear him in half like laffy taffy. But they didn't. As Eric stared wide-eyed at the man-sized muzzle of the dinosaur, the animal just smelled him. Was it true? Could Rex only see motion? It seemed that way. With another mighty sniff, the Rex turned around and made its way back to the corpse, infants chirping and occasionally looking back at him. It was true. The rex could only see motion. When it looked like the animals were totally occupied with feeding, Eric made a break for it. Almost immediately, he tripped on a root. Fueled by terror, Eric popped back up in an instant, not daring to look back. As he made his way back to his water truck, he suddenly remembered...the raptors. As if on cue, the swift hunters returned, surrounding him. Eric fell to his knees, tired and now totally discouraged. All of that, and the raptors get him. For the second time in the last half-hour, Eric accepted death. And for the second time, it didn't come. The raptors came close, inches away, but after a few short, decisive sniffs, the lead raptor barked and turned away. The others turned as well, and when the leader rocketed off into the jungle, the others followed at light speed. Eric, in a daze, practically stumbled the last few yards to his water truck. It took a full ten minutes of sitting in silence for it to hit him. The pee! The rex pee! It scared the raptors away! Eric was ecstatic. He found a natural dino-repellent. And he found out how to survive a rex encounter! If Dr. Grant could see him now, he'd be so proud.
Back at the rex nest, the adult Tyrannosaur thought about the encounter. As its children dug into the carcass it had procured, it wondered to itself. What bizarre creatures, those little bipeds. So rare, almost never seen in the wild. So enamored with such strange habits. They kill prey and leave it for scavengers, not even bothering to take a chunk with them. They whisk away injured infants and nurse them back to health for seemingly no reason. And, apparently, they roll around in urine and stare down predators ten times their size. The rex snorted. What strange little apes. The rex didn't think much more of it. Not even when the same strange little human came back two days later with a clear object and scooped up urine from a fresh puddle the rex had just left. So bizarre. Oh well, it thought. If its infants ever had a broken leg, it knew where to take them.

I don't usually reply to comments that are long af but even though this comment is a month old I can tell you took your time and awesome imagination to write this. It felt like I was reading a book xD honestly I think what you wrote should have been a scene in the movie it was very interesting and I thank you for writing this :3
Im Lovin it
Snakes yea
Can I just say, wow. That scene was fucking awesome to say the least! 😍
Good comment I cant say anything it's super awesome hope it's in the movie
It would be really interesting if in another film Eric could reprise his role as an adult and teach everyone else what he had learned so they can survive whatever encounters they have as well.
RocketLawnChair yes
JP survival guide
That would be great especially after the new movie Jurassic world fallen kingdom when the Dinos were let out
Bring him into Jurrasic World. Amazing!
@@maxadam486 On top of that, in Battle at Big rock, it takes a year after the events of JPW 2. I would have no doubts that he is teaching people how to survive their daily life with dinosaurs.
Could have just found a dead Raptor carcass also when he found the claw.
Possibly, it could have been from a rival Raptor Squad member that invaded and was caught in our Raptors territory, or maybe an Omega raptor that was killed in front of his eyes, utterly confusing him not knowing exactly how Raptors communicate. I believe how he got the Raptor Claw will be cover in Jurrasic World 2 along with my Theory on Billy's and Erics appearance together as partners.
Nico Davis wtf
Unlikely, raptors are apex predators that hunt in small groups and will only fight if they are in another raptor’s territory, the loser in any animal fight often retreats with wounds that will heal into scars over time. Very few animals will fight to the death. A fight between two raptors won’t result in a lost claw because raptors use that large claw of theirs to sink it into the flesh of their prey as it is on their toe. That claw is capable of making a huge gash on a rival raptor in a fight, but that won’t happen unless the rival raptor is pushed to the ground and slashed with the claw. Raptors won’t jump just to wound their rival, they’ll usually bite each other to fight.The only way the claw can be ripped out of the raptor’s toe is when it sinks the claw into a larger herbivorous dinosaur’s flesh at an angle and it gets stuck. The other dinosaur will flail around to try and throw the raptor off itself, and if the raptor can’t unhook its claw from the other dinosaur in time, it will get thrown off and its claw will get ripped out as a result. It’ll be agony for the raptor, but the claw will eventually grow back. After all, it’s made of keratin.
Jon Murphy one attacked him and ripped its claw off in the football helmet. They released a novella along with the movie
That's a good point too.
Since Ben's body was entirely gone below the torso it is likely that he was either chewed upon after dying or mauled to death shortly after they landed. If raptors were nearby during that time(which is likely) it is possible that Ben could have been a sitting target for them. If the raptors attacked him Eric could have hidden and gotten enough time to escape unseen.
I considered the possibility of Ben being attacked by raptors, but I haven't decided yet because I still have doubts. For one thing, on the camera, Ben is seen dangling down, and Eric only drops a few feet when he's released from the harness. But then Ben's body is found way up in the tree. The way the branch broke and his body swung, it seemed as though he was positioned differently than how he was on camera. If he was attacked by raptors, I don't know how he got higher up all of a sudden. Raptors can't hold a person and climb a tree to eat. So far as we've seen.
Inconsistencies like Ben's hight off-ground can be considered bloopers. They do not prove nor disprove what may have happened off-screen. Whatever the case, there is nevertheless visual proof that something ate his legs which may or may not be connected to what factually caused his death. Knowing the close proximity of the raptor nesting site, it offers convenience to the assumption that they did at least make his dead/non-dead body "lose footing", so to say.
Dinoslay or he could have just decomposed and fall apart like corpses tend to do.
If that were the case he'd be completely gone by the time the group found him. He still had his arms and the underlying flesh attached. Ultimately we can only speculate what happened. But that's what's fun.
The raptors didn't get Ben, Eric did. Eric was far too chubby to have eaten only emergency rations for 8 weeks. He probably chopped off Ben's legs and cooked/cured them into beef jerky & sausages.
I would actually love a survivor story set in the JP universe. a mix of JP and tarzan
I actually read the Tarzan novel recently. Good book!
You cannot prove god , dckhead castaway. Brilliant movie with tom hanks, but wasn't a coconut, was a volleyball ball.
how about a video game survival?
undead9999 _a mix of JP and tarzan_
So Eric is raised by raptors?
undead9999 Me too!
I'm glad you did this video, Jurassic Park lore can really go in depth and it's always fun to speculate on these topics. One other factor I just thought of was cleanliness. I'm not an expert on the subject of natural cleanliness, but I'm sure that Eric could find plants and herbs to mix with water, allowing him to wash his body and clean his teeth.
Leila Smith Oh true. Eric was one smart kid.
Yeah, though he still have to wear the same dirty clothes for 8 weeks, maybe if he found a bucket, he could have just enough water to at least wash the underwear, the horror of having to wear the *SAME* undies for 8 weeks is already a nightmare
KSound Kaiju lol That's true. Yeesh >.< A survivor that doesn't care. lol
It's not that he didn't care, it's just that....you really don't have time to do laundry on an island full of large carnivorous dinosaurs, imagine washing your pants in the river and a T-rex comes for a drink or a pack or raptors
KSound Kaiju Good point. ^.^''
He survived becuase he has the most powerful armour: plot armour
funny videos thats the same armour batman uses
The armour that saved Luke Skywalker, Batman and Blue. Clearly very powerful.
Hes a kid thats why
I think it would be great if Eric shows up in the next movies of JW. It could give us some flashbacks of when he was on the island alone, showing how he adapted himself and became a survivor of the island. And imagine his interact with Owen.
I want Erik Kirby to return in the JW movies as an adult. I'd like to know how these events affected him.
I honestly thought he would have a cameo in Jurassic World as a park employee.
Jeremy James Prutchick I think we would've had enough of life encounters with dinosaurs to go work at essentially Jurassic park 2 (definitely won't fail )
*he
I think he would be in a mental hospital, after trauma like that.
me too 😁
I wish he would come back
And i hope he doesn't die there
Better question: why the hell did they make a park complete with the worlds most deadly animals, and NOT have it hurricane proof?? I mean, that should be number one for an island in the middle of an ocean that does receive hurricanes to pass inspection...
How exactly can you make a place hurricane proof? Hurricanes are pretty strong and can destroy most buildings or facilites even if they are super durable. If they don't end up getting destroyed, they at least get severely damaged.
Ruwail Ali true
Not bashing on your comment I see where your coming from
but people really need to know the difference between resistant , and actual proof, making a park hurricane “resistant” is something they should’ve done I agree
Another example for those who don’t understand still . Take phones for example company’s say their new phones are water “proof” but the moment it’s cracked or water actually gets into the circuitry then the phone is dead fam . That’s not actual proofing , resistant is the more legit term for that since it helps keep water *out* not in . Now if they made a phone where water was to somehow get inside wash around a bit but for the phone to not be affected in anyway is actual proofing
Hurricane destroys everything , including power suply generation !
which led dinosaurs out in a matter of minutes ... causing chaos , unable to control due to raptors and t rex , they need to abandone fr now ! .. they can take control of the park later ! however it was in 90s so
I wanna see you try that and let me know how it goes. I also wanna see you make volcano-safe houses and buildings and see how that works out. 😂
I always wondered how Eric survived 8 weeks by himself but a group of highly armed and trained mercenaries were driven off the island in just a couple days.
BadMoonRising92 cinema sins
they don't read alans books that's how they died
@@cleofausto6695 exactly, they always move after seeing the t-rex
A bunch of guys making noise, screaming, firing guns, walking into different territories on the island. Your bound to run into trouble. Eric might have been quiet, moved carefully back and forth finding food, water, and shelter, and just being watchful is a little different.
Just watched this over the weekend. And Eric managed to survive by himself as a 12-year-old. A bunch of adults show up, and all hell breaks loose. Good on you, Eric.
I do wanna know how he got the T-Rex piss.
Rexs arent like dogs they cant just lift a leg and take a piss on a tree what it would have done is marked its truf ither in a circle or in certain spots of its truf eric probably got lucky enough to see it marking its area and proably waited long enough to gather the pee
CHOPPED OFF A T-REX DICK
no doubt he observed it marking its territory, planted jars in those areas, another predator challenged the turf, Rex remarked his domain hence the piss jar. Or, like, he sucked its cock. Whatever.
James Kim you are weird.
@@ladderson_1
More like a genius.
Eric's survival would be a really cool concept for a game!
This is so cool! Thank for all the hard work you put into this! Honestly, I would have enjoyed watching this movie from Eric's perspective, saving Dr. Grant's reveal until part way through the movie. Great job with this!
Nice Theory but this goes along with the water in the food Theory I'm sure there were basic survival kits left in the compound, any basic survival kit especially an Ingen survival kit would almost 100% have water purification tablets, which I'm sure he could have used also just another theory and idea to add to your theory.
Granted a majority of these theories presume that Eric has at least a basic set of survival knowledge. Though i guess the incredibly dangerous enviornment would teach u a lesson or two real quick haha
Fantastic video and makes me appreciate Eric as a character a lot more. If Paul Kirby was right about one thing it’s Eric was a smart kid. I know it’ll never happen but a canon novel centered around Eric’s survival on the island would be fantastic, especially for a die-hard JP fan myself.
Thanks! Yes he was! I recommend you read Survivor. Even though it's not official canon, it's still a good read.
Jeremy James Prutchick I’ll definitely have to check it out! You have an awesome channel set up. Great to see Jurassic videos are still very present on youtube. The fandom is alive and well! I’ll be binge watching your videos. You have gained a new sub 🙌🏽
Thank you, Jacob! That means a lot! Hope you enjoy them!
Well if all dinosaurs were as stupid as the velociraptor Billy encountered in 2:16, then anyone could've survived the island.
Lol
Nah Eric just plays a shit load of Ark
Frogish lmao I was about to say that. But he must be a noob, playing 8 weeks straight and he couldn't even get a spear
Frogish It wasn't out back then nimrod
The Forest Assassin. Shadow
The joke

Better joke

Alex McKinley good one
We also learn that his sense of time had diminished to a degree in the movie. Isolation, no matter how strong will one is, will take a negative toll. Sooner or later (and more likely sooner) he'd start to lose his grasp on reality. Humans are a highly social animal, isolation is a deadly condition for us.
the real question here is how Eric got the Tyrannosaur pee
He stood under a dino dong, or dino cooch with a beaker?....actually, in the JP Survivor novel, he fell in the puddle of the stuff and just scooped it up in a beaker,
I actually read the book recently, and he falls in a pile of shit early in the book, but not the piss. He just walks upon it and smells it.
Dillon Jassmond Maybe he gets drenched with T-rex urine (as the video suggests), but instead of scooping it up, he goes back to the water truck and gets the urine out of his clothes and into the conical flask.
I bet the raptors gave him a WIDE berth for a few days after that!
Smelling like that....I would too!
T rex golden shower
You made a very good video - I don't have anything to add. Good job! 😊
You just saved my thinking time. Bless you bro. 🤘💟
Isla Sorna is Site B, which is where Hammond sends Malcolm in The Lost World. The island that was destroyed by the hurricane is Isla Nublar, where the characters were in the first film. So the compound being in ruins could be from the dinosaurs running amuck because there were no fences. The truck that Malcolm takes shelter in is seen again in JP3 when Grant and the others are walking towards the compound. And the window that the raptor jumps through is still broken as well.
This is so good it could be true! Heck! I'm only 13 years old and I'm a huge dinosaur fanatic, researcher and studier, from the bite force of T-Rex to the length of Diplodocus to the feather displays on Caudipteryx and Velociraptor. Also, my username and profile picture aren't me. They're my parent's Opera event photo. So if you ever see me again in the CZcams comments, just know that it's me. Amazing work!!!!!😃👍😊👍😏👍😾
Margo Goralski ME TOO!!! I'M 13 AND LOOOOOOVE DINOSAURS!
Maybe explaining that the people in the photo are your parents isn't the best idea. Maybe you should delete this comment, or at least edit that out. There are some weird people on the internet
+Cabinet duck They're not actually my parents! Just their friends. But still, thanks for the tip if me or my parents would like to edit it! Have a nice day! Oh, and P.S. I too hate the Emoji Movie! ... obviously.
Spanielmad 16 Nice!
Margo Goralski, I don't think Eric would have survived. Most adults wouldn't have. Study dinosaurs all you want, most of what we know is speculation, or theoretical. Not just about their behavior, but in some cases their size. We don't even have complete skeletons for a good deal of them.
If Eric encountered the Spino, I don't think climbing a tree would have helped much. Did you forget that the Spino completely smashed through a metal fence?
8:40 the spino was camouflaging
“It can camouflage!!”
He's part indominus rex
Thanks for doing this, it's one of those areas in the jurassic park series that is foggy and you thought very hard about it.
So Ben actually died from Velociraptors. It was pretty horrifying to say the least, Eric ran to hide and Ben tried to pull himself up the glider to get away from them but his lower half was ripped off as he climbed up to the top of the tree line. This is proven because they were right next to the velociraptor nests and his lower half was not there in the movie.
This would have been a much more interesting movie then the JP3 we got...
Certainly food for thought...
Nonko Klonko nah the one we have is good
I imagine it like a clash of Cast Away and the kitchen scene from JP.
It would have been great to see some of the ideas presented here and less of Grant and the Kirbys in the actual movie.
Very interesting video and you provided great information here. I think it's interesting with how you theorized about how the T-Rex urine lured the Spinosaurus and how Eric had to stop possibly stop using it to prevent future encounters and how he may have used gas grenades to avoid it.
This was actually a really good video!
"The t-rex didn't notice Eric and took a *HUGE PISS* all over the tree and eric" I'm dying of how casually you said that😂
I might have written that, but what you discuss in the video is actually a very good premise for survival horror game like Alien Isolation. Imagine playing as Eric and visiting locations on Isla Sorna while doing everything to survive among dinosaurs.
Love your thoughts; and theories
I love this one the best. I saw the first one at my grandma's house in VCR and then we went to the theater for this one. I love it. The music the plot and the dinosaurs. It was great. Better than what they are rolling out now that's for sure.
And people wonder how the kids from Camp Cretaceous managed to survive for 6 months! Look at how Eric did it, and see what they have:
Shelter from the camp remains.
Water from the stream right next to the camp.
Food from the abandoned restaurants of the park and natural edible things.
Defense, not much of it, but then can run pretty fast and know how to hide.
Knowledge: Darius the dino nerd for info about any Dinos they meet, Kenji who knows the island like the back of his hand, and later on Ben, who knows how to survive and has heighten senses. Need I say more?
And as for mental stability, they have the desire to go home, and 6 people total to keep them from getting lonely.
So yea, they have all that Eric had, and some more benefits like the fact that there are more people to help with everything, supplies to build the shelter, and eventually electricity. And don't forget that Eric is 12, while all of these kids are like 15-16. Yeah, it totally doesn't make sense how these kids managed to survive a couple months on a Dinosaur island all on their own...
Nice theory...
Your videos really Interest me!
Thank you Mr. Biscuit!
Jeremy James Prutchick no problem man you have an amazing imagination 😉
A little detail I like to offer to two of the categories.
Water: There is a scene just before Alan and Eric reunite with the rest where Billy is seen drinking from a stream indicating that was fresh enough. Assuming this wasn't too far from the tree that Billy and the Kirbys spent the night in, it could have been another one of Eric water sources.
Food: Though this is less a suggestion of what Eric might have done and more of a personal curiosity: could the dinosaurs themselves serve as a potential food source? Obviously not suggesting Eric somehow downed a rex or a raptor and have himself some t rex loin but maybe like a compy. Of course yes they're pretty dangerous en masse, but given how tiny they are its not too hard to think an average human male could kill one with a few blunts or stomps like how some survivors in the wilderness would kill rats, squirrels, rabbits etc. for meat/protein.
Thank you for the Video
Whatever. Oliver Queen lasted for years on a hellish island.
and came home with only one goal, to save his city XD
boy, did that go well!
Zoom, in the Arrow series, Queen had human contact, was trained by Slade, actually left the island for a short time before coming back. Maybe a better comparison would be the Kirby kid and Newt from Aliens.
Professor Zoom was it filled with dinosaurs?
DarrenJSeeley Except that the tv show isn’t canon and the comics are
For entertainment and sanity he probably took a few books from the compound and mabey kept a journal. Unfortunately he still could find it difficult in the circumstances to keep track of the dates.
Great vid, I've always wondered how he survived.
great video!
Bear Grylls : i am true survivalist
Eric Kirby : Hold my chocolate .
Love your videos
Thanks
Good vid and interesting
56 days on an island of Dinosaurs a 12 year old kid came out on top and was rescued in the end. Still unbelievable but awesome.😏
I would love if they brought back this type of character, someone (ideally a kid) trapped on an island with dinosaurs fending for them self
Fantastic video/theory this video alone made me subscribe to you
Thanks a lot!
Eric is my fave character he inspires me😀
jurassic gamer nice profile picture man
I thought i was The only
Who favorite Eric
Excellent work
I would love the TPP survival video game with Eric as main protagonist. We could witness 8 weeks by ourselves.
Great video, man :)
Refresh my memory; what's TPP? Thanks for that!
TPP - Third Person Perspective. Like Tomb Raider :)
Ok, gotcha. Yeah that'd be cool!
@@JeremyJamesPrutchick one more idea: the raptor claw could be used not only as knife replacement, but maybe also as mean to "send" some simple signals to disctract raptors - like raptors in the kitchen in JP1 or Indoraptor in JW:FK.
This sounds like a fantastic potential movie!!! Please make one!!!
Perhaps the story of "JP3" COULD have been about how Eric survived for eight weeks on Isla Sorna. I never thought of that until now.
I really love your videos man and have no issue with the quality, though the volume of the audio is always weak for some reason. Other than that, love the vids man.
Thanks! I'm working on that right now, actually. I'm increasing the volume in my new videos now.
Jeremy James Prutchick cant wait man, youve definitely earned a consistent watcher! 😊
He survived with the power of anime even though it isn’t anime
There was a short novel focused around Eric Kirby before his parents showed up. It was a great explanation for what happened to him over those 8 weeks.
Yeah, I have that book! It was pretty good!
The way you said canon gave me a chuckle. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Love this video! Please just increase the volume on your microphone. Can barely hear your voice in certain parts
Thank you! Working on that now!
Eric should make a comeback in Jurassic World 3, i really liked his character. He's the only kid in the JP franchise that's not a hinderance to the group and knows how to defends himself
I agree, the actor is hell underrated and deserves more attention, maybe he could make a comeback to jw3 it would be really cool to see Trevor Morgan(Eric Kirby)as an adult
@@JD-el9eo yup
That "Eric getting pissed on" part was disgusting. 😂
When you were talking about how Eric gathered food, you forgot about where and how he gets meat. When one is surviving on an Island, Meat and Proteins are important. My best guess, was that Eric probably scavenged some meat from already dead Dinosaurs, after the Predators have had their fill. That way, Eric would have some proteins without getting killed by Dinosaurs, like Velociraptors and the aforementioned Spinosaurus.
Another guess, as to how Eric got Proteins, was that he could also steal some Eggs. Of course, he wouldn't risk stealing Eggs belonging to Dinosaurs, like Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptors. He would probably steal Eggs from large Herbivores, like Parasaurolophus or Brachiosaurus, because Dinosaurs like those would run away from a threat, rather than stand and fight. This was confirmed, when Dr. Grant and the Group ran into the Herd, when they were escaping the Compound and got separated.
Highly doubtful. Dinosaur meat and eggs are not part of the natural environment and therefore our bodies and digestive system would react very differently to it. Without the proper care, even a stomach flu or stomach infection can end you. Eric, most likely wouldn’t risk eating dinosaurs knowing the high risk it can cause him. I know he’s 12 years old in the movie but he seems smarter than most 12 year olds so i will assume he knows all this. Tbh, he survived because of plot armor - that’s it, there’s no other way. Well there’s a small chance he could’ve survived in real life but that chance is severely small especially for someone his age.
Every Kirby should go on Naked and Afraid
Whoever is paired up with Amanda would probably kill her XD
Wow I thought I was the only one that thought this! This is what I wanted when I saw this movie in the theaters as a kid.
It certainly would've been cool.
My guy it's called plot armor. He's a child in the Jurassic Park franchise
7:39 this has to be the funniest thing I’ve heard in a Jurassic park video
Great video! So i was watching jp: lostworld and i was wondering do u have a theory about the baby trex they helped was the same young trex the spino killed in jp3? There is a 4-5 year gap between films so the baby could grow quite alot in that time.
I stop reading the spin off book when Eric confronted the pack of mega raptors. 😂
Except the home video shows they both survived the parachute trip to the island... after that what happened to the adult character. it doesn't jive...
Right they were alive when they landed, but Ben's body was found in the tree, exactly where they landed. So Ben died shortly after landing, likely from injuries.
Jeremy James Prutchick coulda been attacked by the raptors being so close. To back it up he didn't seem to be badly hurt in the video Grant and that watch he seems relatively ok and if he was badly injured chances are Eric would have been aswell as he was lower and infront of Ben. I think he was tangled in his parachute ropes couldn't free himself and along came the raptors I doubt he knew anything about dinosaurs so when they came into sight he may have shouted at them shooing them away causing them to attack and kill him.
I think he strangled himself when trying to let go. Probably he got stuck or something, and without noticing he jumped to his death, dying instantly. Then the flesh was ate by birds or something.
Enrique Manuel Ramos Galicia how? He was still harnessed to the parachute
James Judice well, they fell through trees, so while getting hit with brqnches, maybe the parachute straps got around his neck. We see Eric falling ok, then the camera turns off. We could assume he tried to jump next, but without noticing the straps, he could just hanged, or worse, choke to death. That way, the body would still be in the trees, stuck up there.
He throws t Rex piss at Dinosaurs. Genius.
Really good ideas
great theory's!
Erick was honestly the best character in the whole movie along with grant. The whole movie could have been him stranded on the island. The movie would be like cast away meets the lost world, but with the story framed from the pov of Erick. That could have been a far more interesting movie than what we got.
Yeah and he should come back in the new movies to like meet Grant and Other Characters and teach Zach Gray and Maisie a lot about dinosaurs
7:39 “And took a huge piss all over the tree and eric” 😂😂😂
This man is amazing
I feel like if Eric saw complies outside his water truck the first thing he’d do is shout “WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP”
Now if you explain why Spino could not break the door despite hers overwhelmingly power, it will be the best fan fiction explanation video ever!
I imagine keeping up hope would have been particularly difficult for Eric given the situation. Isla Sorna is under quarantine and so there's no realistic hope of rescue unless he manages to get out a signal of some kind. Getting a radio and power source working out of the facility ruins would have been difficult. A signal fire might have been an option.
Dude the book describes EVERYTHING
Very nicely explained.. But what's bothering me is whenever Eric would lift the door of the water tank he was living in, that would have definitely produced some kind of weird sound.. Imagine a spino or a Rexy or even a raptor were passing by or having some meal around there, wouldn't have they noticed Eric following that sound??
JP3 was like Destiny, it looked amazing from the onset but lacked substance causing it to be average at best.
The rewrites killed both of them sadly.
Damn the story of Eric's survival should probably have been the main story of JP3... As for how he was to get rescued, I'd assume that once he ran out of supplies, he'd be forced to find a way out. We didn't need to drag in Grant or Eric's annoying parents into the fray. Just a kid learning how to survive in a Dinosaur filled island would've been a good story for JP3
whoa whoa WHOA. Did I just hear you say "ka-NON?"
I'm surprised nobody there managed to find a gun in the compound. I'm positive there would be a few handguns at the least in there.
Yeah, I'm surprised he never found any weapons.
He might have found some, but I don't know if he'd like to use it. Like you said, he's very smart. Using a weapon like that would cause a ton of noise and might give himself away to larger beasts like a T-Rex.
Ingen didn't really seem to provide many weapons so it's unlikely many would have been available. Besides, most would have been taken when the workers left. Still, a handgun wouldn't do anything to most of the animals on that island, a high caliber rifle would be the minimum, and even that would require some skill.
Well done, sir.
Thanks!
JP3 would have been more interesting if we ever got to see how a teenager survived on his own on an island full of dangerous dinosaurs before being rescued. Erici has proven to be more braver and smarter than any of the other kids of the franchise.
Yeah
You said “ He WAS a resourceful kid “ and that got me thinking “ Did he die?”
In a future video can you discuss why Isla Sorna has both tropical and sequoia forests? Also, could you talk about how/why the Spino wasn't in the second movie?
I can answer your Spino question; it wasn't in TLW because it took place in a different "sector" on the island.
Well, I kind of figured that. But, I was more curious about the different sectors of the island and why some of these characters never met? We could include the velociraptors too. Why is it that in TLW the raptors were the tiger striped type and why in the third movie the raptors were feathered and more build.
There is a theory that the spino wasn't on the island yetand was placed later. On a side note it may be the first "Dino-spliced Hybrid" as on there is a log where Wu discusses gene splicing capabilities and says something referencing an experiment left on Isla Sorna. This would explain why it would be strong enough to kill the T-Rex and why it was so focused on eating the humans instead of fish like a normal Spino would. (The log info is found on a Jurassic world website after going through some secret stuff)
I've heard that theory. Are you talking about the Masrani website that has lots of info on it? If you are, then yeah, I've been there, but I don't recall the part about an experiment left on Sorna. EDIT - I just found the info about the "accident left on Sorna". I just didn't remember it was on there. It makes perfect sense!
Yup that is exactly what I was talking about. That changes a lot of arguments against that fight now. It also could be cool territory for another movie to explore failed experiments.
This was an excellent video. Great insight but how did you know exactly what he did to survive and how he got the T Rex p?
So taking out things of the ecuation like ''plot-armor'', we can surely conclude that Eric despite his age was and is a great survivalist.
*Don't judge a book by his case*
I subscribed liked and turned the bell icon on
Thank you! That means a lot!
Jeremy James Prutchick your welcome have a good day you awesome yutuber
But in the camera footage Ben is still alive when Erik turns the camera off.
My guess is the second after the camera shut off the raptors started calling, and Erik ran while Been was unable to free himself of the chute (a common occurrence when caught in trees). Then he was either low enough to be nibbled at by the raptors or they simply waited until he died of dehydration and then left.
Since he's a skeleton when the group finds him a simple breeze would have been enough to remove his lower half at some point, the upper part being mostly held together by the chute.
Hey Jeremy it would be impossible for Eric to eat the food on the Island because if you remember in the first movie when Allen, Ellie, Ian, John, and the Lawyer were heading to the lodge for the tour Ellie was looking and talking about at a leaf and plants that only grew during the Jurassic. So only the dinosaurs were the only ones who ate and able to eat the plants on both islands.
I like they way how detailed he had to explain how Eric got T. rex pee
