Damn, Cap better give Thor a call or this will be a massacre.

@harbingerofmomz: Looked more like the T-Rex let go to me. Sure the Spinosaurus was shaking its head, but that wouldn't really sufficiently loosen a T-Rex's grip, and if anything would just cause the Rex's teeth to dig in deeper thus causing more damage.

The young T-Rex being able to initially overpower it, grab it by the neck, and knock it down suggest to me that a fully matured Rex would have been able to do the same.

@sirfizzwhizz: That T-Rex was 10+ years older than T-Rex's were thought to have lived in the wild. That is a BIG factor in the fight, and it was still able to hold its own. You can say the I-Rex was hindered from all the killing it did that day, but then you'd also have to acknowledge the T-Rex's age. That was a T-Rex that would have been to old to hunt for food, and by extension was FAR too old to be fighting other large theropods. Despite that though, it was still able to get some good shots on the Indominus. The T-Rex even grabbed it by the neck and picked it up and tossed it on its back.

Sure, a fresh Indominus probably would have had an easier time with that T-Rex considering its age, but you can't really say that it would have been able to do exceptionally well against a T-Rex that was in its prime.

If you want to talk strength, I would doubt the I-Rex being stronger than the T-Rex. T-Rex's were very thickly muscled and incredibly strong even in comparison to theropods of similar size. The Rexes in TLW were sending cars flying with headbutts and one of them effortlessly caved in the side of a bus with a headbutt. T-Rex would definitely have the stronger bite as well.

@harbingerofmomz: The Rex dragged the Spino to the ground, then let go, bit the Spino on the side, then knocked it back down with a head butt. The fact that a sub-adult Rex was able to do this suggests that a fully grown Rex would be able to do even better.

@pierpat: Considering the fact that the young T-Rex was able to overpower the Spino for a good bit of the fight, I'd say it's pretty likely that a fully matured and therefore larger and stronger T-Rex would have been able to do the same, only to a higher degree.

@pierpat: Spino did get bitten in the side during the fight, if there's no mark from it then that's a production error.

As I said before, fully grown T-Rex's are much more powerful and larger than sub-adults and even the sub-adult was able to get a hold of the Spino's neck and drag it to the ground, then easily knock it over with a head butt. If a fully grown T-Rex were to bite the Spino's neck, it would crush the vertebra instantly.

@pierpat: That is also a product of bad writing.

The spino got its neck bitten, a chunk taken out of its side, and got knocked to the ground. Fully grown T-Rex's are much more powerful than sub-adults, yet the Spino was still getting overpowered before PIS took over.

The T-Rex in Jurassic Park 3 was 10 feet tall at the hips and 37 feet long. The T-Rex in the first movie (and Jurassic World) was 16-17 feet tall and 43 feet long, which is a pretty significant difference.

@pierpat: Movie feats show that a Spinosaurus is capable of killing a sub-adult Tyrannosaurus, and even then the Spino still got its neck bitten, got a chunk taken out of its side, and got knocked over like a bowling pin. A fully grown Tyrannosaurus would have certainly killed the Spinosaurus.

@pierpat: Spino actually got bitten twice, but technically that one bite to the neck should have killed it. T-Rex's bite force was up to 57,000 newtons, and they had enormous serrated teeth. The spino also got head butted by the T-Rex, which knocked it down and should have injured it pretty significantly. Spinosaurus won the fight due to bad writing, and it was all against a sub-adult T-Rex.

The I-Rex also should have died from that bite. Getting slammed on its back and shoved through an electric fence should have just been overkill.

@pierpat: Spinosaurus was getting owned by a sub-adult T-Rex before the film makers decided it was physically possible for the Spino to snap the Rex's neck, so a fully grown I-Rex should be more than a match for it.
