But why not, when you could have something that looks like:

(And yes, that's a spiked tongue, which a lot of carnivorous birds have to rip meat. (As if the teeth and bite force weren't enough, now it just has to lick you to mess you up.) Also, adult T. rex having feathers t this extent is more unlikely right now based on some new research, but if we're going all-out to plausible extremes, this arguably still works as a cool design.)


I prefer the faux Rex that doesn't look comical. Science. Be. Damned.

Jurassic Park/World is a theme park with shareholders. They aren't trying to sell tickets to scientists or to even recreate dinos as they were. Their customer base wants monsters and "more teeth". Not scientific accuracy. And probably not a gigantic Chicken-Rex. InGen just supplies the product that is in demand. And experiments with military applications on the side.

This and didn't that throwaway line in the fourth movie settle all this? They didn't create them to look like real dinosaurs. They created them to look cool and exciting for kids. Basically more like big reptiles than carnivorous bird-like creatures.

That was just Colin Trevorrow's line to try and get science critics off his back after they hounded him during production about the ugly out-of-date dinosaur designs and lack of feathers. It would've been worth more if the plot actually focused more on the InGen conspiracy and better tied that into the overall series' theme and story of humans attempting to control nature for profit. But as these films are written, it's just a throwaway line that comes across as petty.

I'm trying to help InGen here; they'd probably save a ****-ton on production costs and make more revenue if they dropped the frog DNA **** and just used bird DNA. If they still don't want feathers on the ones that had them (certainly the raptors and ornithomimids) they can just edit those few genes (since we've been able to isolate those genes in real life) and turn those feathers into reticulae, the kinds of scales birds have in place of feathers on their feet. (Think an ostrich foot without the big toe scutes.) Besides, supposedly consumer interest in the park is dropping as of the events of Jurassic World. I'm sure creating better non-gray designs would raise interest.

Oh well; can't win 'em all. But...

No one wants to see a movie about realish looking dinosaurs. They want to see a movie about the dinosaurs from their childhood :D
 
latest




Are people seriously still complaining about scientific accuracy in JP? :oldrazz: Again, dilophosaurus - big-ass thing with no neck-frill and didn't spit venom. They knew this all in '93, it's been a monster movie franchise from the start plain and simple.
 
They are not showing 'real' dinos in JP franchise, they said that in JP 1 itself, even in the book, it's mentioned that the Dino DNA chain was fragmented and incomplete, and they used DNA's from other animals to complete the sequence, that they could fit in by using various techniques, like - 3D modeling, trial and error, Frog DNA.

In JP 3 they did attempt to show some feathers on dinos (mainly raptors), in my opinion, JP dinos are not real dinos but they come close to it as compared to how dinos are shown in other movies so far.

I think it's time for the Chicken-Rex to make his debut.
 
If we're going to have adapted dinos can someone give the T-Rex some respectable arms? ;)
 
Hey man, leave Rexy alone with his tiny little dancing-Mick-Jagger arms.

Poor lil' rexy, always getting bullied over his teeny tiny popsicles. :csad:
 
I’m ready for the trailer tomorrow. Beyond excited for this movie :woot:

The films only came close to it in the 90s because they actually wanted to use then-modern science to make their creatures look and behave differently than anything that had been shown before onscreen. Now pretty much every piece of dinosaur media since then has tried to copy Jurassic Park and failed, (including Jurassic World) as science moves on. It's not even just a feathers thing; as aforementioned, the animals' anatomy is overall pretty bad; a lot of Jurassic World's creatures (the herbivores especially) look like the dull sluggish animals that the original Jurassic Park was trying to work against in the first place through having more active designs. But then again, it's a very carnivore-centric series, so I understand why the raptors and tyrannosaur got glorified. (Even though large herbivores are way more dangerous and likely to actually attack and kill someone than a carnivore.)

My thing is that it's been 20 years since the original park. The birds-are-dinosaurs thing is accepted fact in both our universe and the JP-verse, so why InGen/Masrani in the Jurassic World series decides to throw money away into creating more unhealthy animals (due to the various problems that come up with filing in the fossil genomes with more distantly related animals as opposed to using birds and crocs) that cost more to keep alive is a silly in-universe thing that I'm sure will never get addressed but still manages to irk me from a business standpoint.

I thought that's what the Indominus was supposed to be, opposable thumbs and all. If you want to rag on tiny-armed dinosaurs though, get a load of the actual Carnotaurus (which is in Fallen Kingdom and is actually one of the few dinosaurs that largely looks on-point except for the arms and exaggerated scutes) with its unbendable arm, non-functional finger-having self :funny::

At least T. rex could actually lift, bro.

There's another trailer coming out? Don't they already have two or three out at this point?

That tagline makes me laugh but is also very foreboding.
 
I'm liking that Rexy is all over the marketing for this one after they kept her appearance a surprise for the most part for the last movie. Please don't die. :csad:
 
That tagline makes me want to say..."Well, nooo ****, sherlock."


Poor lil' rexy, always getting bullied over his teeny tiny popsicles. :csad:

I'm sure Trump sympathizes with Rexy.:o
 
That tagline makes me read it with Mike Tyson's "I broke my back" delivery.
 
Wasn't the park also "gone" in Lost World and Jurassic Park III? I think only the first one and Jurassic World had an actual Jurassic Park in operation.
 
It goes well with "the park is open" tagline from the 4th one. It just feels a little different from 2 and 3 since this the time the original park is literally gonna be gone this time.

I don’t care about scientific accuracy in these movies. But I’ve never seen feathered nightmare bird dinosaurs in a movie, and I want to!
 
https://jurassicoutpost.com/uk-cinemas-list-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-with-running-time-of-2-hours-and-8-minutes/

Just yesterday ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom‘ was rated the PG-13 for “intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril” by the MPAA. To receive its rating by the MPAA, this means the film has achieved picture lock, and its running time is mostly set.

In conjunction with the US rating of the film, some UK cinemas have updated their pages for Fallen Kingdom, listing a running time: 128 minutes.
 
Oh, sweet. Longest Jurassic Park movie yet.

When's the trailer due, btw?
