Pangea was a 21st century science fiction media franchise created by Londra Productions, featuring hero Jane traveling through portals to fight dinosaurs.

History

Pangea was immensely popular with the public, leading the market-driven franchise to create a theme park, Pangea Park, the Pangea Figurine toy-line, and a fast food restaurant, Rex Mex. The franchise also included a child-friendly mascot, Reggie, who was detested by Londra Productions founder Walter Londra and divisive among fans.

Pangea Park was constructed to capitalize on the popularity of the franchise.

Plot

In the first movie in the franchise, Jane arrived for her first day working at PortTech. Mere hours later, she defeated a deadly Dimorphodon, the first of many dinosaurs she would defeat in combat.

Siege of Pangea featured a raptor raid, including Green Raptor, that Trevor had to escape from. One scene showed raptors eating each other's young.

Pangea Forever featured Blood, the leader of a deadly carnivore hoard of Red Raptors, as well as Queen Rex during the climax, where Jane sacrifices her chance to return home and runs back into the exploding volcano to defeat her and save Trevor, where she recites the iconic line: "How could I not come back? Being with you feels like belonging. It feels like home."

Phantom of Pangea featured Reggie the Pterodactyl. This instalment was intended to appeal to kids.

Others

Pangea Pompeii was a live performance at Pangea Park, recreating iconic scenes from the holos.

Reception

The Pangea franchise was massively successful, with huge spikes in profit whenever a new holo was released.

Despite its success, producer Walter Londra had many qualms with the franchise, feeling that the marketing was crass. Additionally, he felt that making Phantom of Pangea appeal to kids was a mistake and that Reggie the Pterodactyl was a disaster of a character.

The food associated with the Pangea franchise appears to have had a poor reception, as Londra and an unnamed fan voiced their disgust with it.

Trivia

• The Pangea franchise has similarities to the Jurassic Park franchise, as both prominently feature dinosaurs. The ring-shaped Pangea Portal heavily resembles the Stargate from the eponymous Stargate franchise.
