The Big One vs Blue

The previous raptor alpha vs the new raptor beta.

I would favor Blue, just because she wasn't fooled by an eleven year old girl's reflection trick. Big One had lots of hype, but in the end, she slammed her head right into a metal door

Seriously, animals guys, not super heroes. They aren't going to out think each other.
The Big One was shown to out think a game hunter.

The selling point of the raptors was that they were great thinkers and problem solvers.

I'm pretty sure more specifically the idea is that they were better dogs that could do better in a fight than them, and cloths coordinate more independently.
I mean Mr. Let's pit raptors against a super t-rex clearly saw them as basically better dogs.

That was specifically about the JP raptors. Muldoon described them as great problem solvers.

Whoops, my bad.
That said, unless he specified that it was approaching human level intellect then I assume it's on the levels of smart dogs or monkeys.

She was hunting Muldoon. What did Grant say? 65 million years of Gut Instinct. She was designed for it.

Yeah but they're whole MO is "I gotta eat. I gotta hunt. I gotta, emmm." I mean you guys can relate to at least one of those things am I right?

Actual statements and science, this is what an Apex predator does. Honestly, all they're both going to be "thinking" is "threat to food, threat to ermm! Must kill!" Then that's that.

The Big One was similar to the Indominus in that she hunted for sport. She was more malicious than any other raptor we've seen or heard of in the franchise, outright killing five of her peers simply to show dominance. Killing one would've sufficed, but no, she killed a whole four more, and then proceeded to order the remaining two to hit the fences and try to find weak points. She was a bad b***.

The raptors in JW were docile compared to her.

Anyway, my point was that she's a bit different from the casual raptor in that she doesn't think exactly like one. She'll f*** with you because she finds it fun, not because she needs to eat or feels threatened.

Fun... Is subjective. Any on screen action we see of her is just her actively hunting with the pack, killing and trying to kill. Even Muldon that was a pretty standard pincer move, Lions do that. Blue and her girls hunted down that Indominous pretty effectively too, just as quickly, and took out a full squad of trained soldiers, whom I'm sure are just as well trained as Muldoon was. So I'm no selling that one, I just can't see it. The only majorly different ones I've ever seen, I think Lazer may have mentioned it, were the ones from JP3. Those crazy a*** super intelligent ones. Tracking eggs and calling for help and such. But other wise, Nublar Raptors really don't differ wildly.

She killed and presumably ate Muldoon, which should have been enough to keep her full for a while, yet she went after the other humans. That's why I say she hunted for fun. I didn't say she wasn't wildly different in the manner you're speaking of – I specified maliciousness, because that's what she was. The raptors in JP3 may have been the smartest set we've seen to date, but they weren't very malicious like the ones in JP, and I don't remember if they were going to let the humans go at the end or not.

Well the Lost World novels explained that the Sorna raptors are more savage and violent than the Nublar ones anyway, lack of structure. If I remember correctly, either the chopper sounds or (and I hesitate to say this because its stupid) Grant actually did send them away with his vocalization chamber, because it looked like the pack was going to kill Grant and the Kirbys anyway, but that's aside from the point.

Although, as far as hunting the kids, we don't know if that would ha e kept her full. They said it in Lost World, we have no idea what's its (The baby rex)'s metabolism is. So who knows, maybe she DID need a whole third of a buffalo to keep fed. We don't actually know, so she and her sisters could have still been hungry. She was violent, but she was also bigger and stronger than the other two anyway. And she's a freaky raptor frog hybrid, so the genome is a mess in the first place, so I'm sure that has to factor in somewhere. But point is neither Blue or Biggie are gonna do anything different from any other raptor. They'll size each other up, posture, fight and the fittest will win. Odds on, Biggie's probably got an edge given that she has successfully killed 5 other raptors on her own, so Blue is probably another notch I her scaley tail.

The raptors in TLW and the ones in JP3 were definitely a different pack. The ones in TLW were savage and had no structure, but the ones in JP3 clearly had an alpha and beta system going on.

I agree that the Big One should win this. She's bigger, obviously, and should by logic be stronger, and has at least six confirmed kills under her belt. I love Blue, but aside from hunting the Indominus, surviving a slap from it, and attacking it with Rexy, I don't remember her killing anything.

Yeah I think that post sums it up pretty neatly. You and I are in agreement on both points Darth Pyrus.

The Big One also faceplanted into a fridge and was unable to fight for a good minute because of it. Her intelligence varies from opening doors to not understanding what a reflection is and charging with enough force to knock herself out

So what? Is Blue gonna go track down a mirror, angle it, the ambush Biggie once she gets into position? Blue the raptor from "The Critic's" version of Jurassic Park? Seriously, she's an animal. Always with the low balling feats with you Lazer, intervention time lol!

Blue doesn't have any feats to low-ball her. Her sister does, but she never did anything other than attacking the Indominus that would make someone question her intelligence.
