"Imagine that..." and "take into consideration".
For an example, we'll put them into Jurassic Park:
Jurassic Park (in case you just fell to earth from Mars), is a movie in which a genetics company develops a way to clone dinosaurs in present times. Awesome. Their first step is to make an amusement park so everyone can see them. Things go bad, everyone dies, and then it happens two more times.
Take into consideration, that the company Ingen that Hammond runs, is actually the good guys in the story. In the background is this shady, evil company, that ruthlessly murders people to get their hands on the dna for the dinosaurs. It doesn't work in the end, but who says that's the end? Since it's obvious that the world finds out about it, and then, in movie two, we see them rear up again to steal a T-rex.
But... that's where things get... odd.
Remember, on the ship, everyone was ripped apart, but a creature that was in no way a t-rex. It is an impossibility, that a t-rex, while locked up in cargo, was able to get out and kill people in their bunks, or in the ships control room. Seriously, someone had to either sneak raptors on the ship, or someone went ninja on them and blamed "creatures".
Imagine that it's all part of the plan. That evil shadow company from the first film, is intentionally releasing a t-rex into the general public. Just a regular, t-rex, not one genetically modified to have lasers or anything special. Look at the havoc and destruction it does. That seems less like a accident, and more like a trial run. Can you imagine weaponizing a t-rex?
Now, take into consideration that they can clone dinosaurs, why not humans? They show it in their little movie. Is it possible they can clone people with their memories intact? (Like how Hammond and others die in the first book, but are there in the second?) If they can do that, how many times could they have done it? Could they have used it as a test run?
Imagine that they didn't just select the people from the first movie at random, they grabbed people that Hammond had complete access to: his two kids (one well educated in dinosaurs, the other a 90s hacking wizard), two experts in that field (both also in good physical condition), and a brilliant... guy? Also an Aussie hunter (Australian is practically a military rank), big bad asses from all over... and toss them into this "park". Clone them, and run it again, like a simulation.
Then, Phase Two: Lost World, they send them to an isle with military structures, and send teams specifically designed to fight dinos... only to watch them get demolished by nature. How many times did they run that test?
Take into consideration, that this Shadow Corp wants this. They want the money, the power, the ability to create giant monsters. Why though? Why go through all this trouble? Unless they're smarter than we thought...
Imagine if in the first movie, it's all already happened as the book said it did. The people who died, died, the people who lived, lived... but the Shadow Corp actually did get what they needed. So they run simulations to test it, over and over... the bodies were likely still there on the isle, in one form or another, and all the dinos are dead from that contingency plan.
Imagine if... the Shadow Corp owned Hammond the whole time. They let him build up this image of being "the leader", and then let him take the fall at the end of the Lost World. Now he's gone, and they've still got all they need: all the facilities to breed dinos, governments begging for giant war monsters, the ability to clone anyone, and they get to have the profits of Disney while they do it.
They've won so hard, it's hardly a challenge. They're beyond supervillains at this time. They're monetary gods.
Now... imagine what you'd have to do to stop them..
