LORD VADER - The future is impossible to map. No matter how confident we are in the possibility of an outcome, there will always be unforseen events. I, for one, hope that the forums remain tranquil once Jurassic World has its release; I greatly prefer civil discourse in a calm environment. However, I will not stand by helplessly and allow others to verbally bash one another over something as silly as a dinosaur movie that features animals that were genetically engineered to be theme park attractions. Whatever the actual dinosaurs of our world were, they are gone; we can only imagine them in this day and age. Naturally, I will do my best to remain as calm and collected as possible in the event of a heated debate - though I can not promise that I will not become, hmm, displeased if someone begins assailing one of you. I am ready for any outcome; however, I hope for the best! ;)

X_PADEN_X - That was incredibly fun to read! I very much enjoyed the amount of detail you placed within your work to define each character! These stories of yours are always worth the wait! Additionally, I am so very proud that your two year mark is almost here - congratulations! Thank you ever so much for continuing share this wonderful work with us! :)

Where are you getting your info on carnotaurus. As I already stated earlier, Rob Bakker has analyzed the carnotaurus and has concluded that it hunted sauropods. From his findings it would appear that on massive prey, the carnotaurus would have bit into prey with it's upper jaws. Then would pull on it's prey, which given its teeth were slender and serated, meant attacking prey in this style would be devastating to both large and small prey.

The only abelisaur that is as weak as you claim is rugops. The only part of the carnotaurus skull that is as weak as you say is the end of the lower jaw. The upper jaw is extremely sturdy, which means it could take alot of strain, such as the strain of struggling prey.

If after all of this info you still believe your original statement to be true. Then I will have to question your ability to do proper research and make scientifically accurate debates.

What are you talking about? I want hinting about anythin. I am just saying it isn't a good idea.

but everything else you said I agree with.

We got through it, Rex Fan got through and only recently left. Everyone else joined when it was dying or was already over. Wow, that was a while ago.

That's what I had meant was with the sudden spike in new members around the release. Ther'll be SOMEBODY out there who has a complaint if TRex were to win. It'd be something like "blah blah blah I-Rex was better insert BS here T-Rex is boring blah blah blah." I'm sure that someone may be like that because, as the song goes, "There's one in every crowd".

As great as the idea of us regulars going offline for a bit sounds when you say and write, it's a whole other story to actually do it. 

TK, that's not the right thing to do. We were wrong. We've apologized. 

We are a strong, accepting and no nonsense forum now. Wasn't always like that. 

Im ready, and it'll be interesting to see who's still around when all is said and done. 

Abeliosaurids like carnotaurus and ruogops were scavengers or hunters of small prey. They could fight. The heavy hitters like rajasaurus, ekrixinotosaurus and others who actually hunted sauropods would be at an advantag. Don't put words in my mouth.

i never said dilophosaurids were scavenger. I said they would have a decent chanxe against mammals. 

Going offline to avoid someone huh....

lets not do that. We will just get rid of them.

Tyrant, you did jack-for research on the Abelisaurs, as well as the Dilophosaurs. 

The Only Abelisaur that is as weak as you say here would be Rugops which is the only Abelisaur that was a pure scavenger. The other Abelisaurs have since been studied by Robert Bakker whoose findings have suggested that the Abelisauridae were Sauropod hunters. Likely useing either swift repeated bites,or strong gripping bites (depending on how the skull was built). Both bites would have been very deadly and effective, but to elaborate what these two come down too. The swift biters would have been equivlent to the Allosaurs and Charcharodontosaurs, and the gripping biters would be equivlent to the Dromeosaurs and Tyrannosaurs. And I only meen what I just said in context of how they would have likely used there jaws, not that they were exactly the same as their references.

Now onto the Dilophosaurs... I just dont know where to begin with this one.

Ok, to start off with, yes there is alot of controversy surrounding the Dilophosaurus and if it was a hunter or a scavenger. In my personal opinion from what I have read and seen on this topic, it is not as impossible as the scavengers say it is for the Dilophosaurus to hunt useing its jaws. Because while the front of the jaws wernt esspecialy sturdy, the back of the jaws were very sturdy and could take the strain of holding onto prey. So it is my personal opinion that the Dilophosaurus was without a doubt a hunter because it also had speed, and those lethal claws and talons. And when it comes to Cryolophosaurus... I shouldnt even have to make a case for them.  

Well...

I-Rex is about as Fictional as a Dinosaur can possibly get. The entire series is Fiction, But we seem to skip that part all the time.

Will it cause "Debates"

Yes.

If you recall Formerly Mr.Happy now Lord Vader, The Forum Great war... Yes? I think it might just be us who went through that and Survived.

Well, When the movie hits.

It's going to be a lot worse. 

But, The community is currently a Strong, Accepting and No Nonsense, with Zero Tolerance for being an Asshole.

We have a good chance of avoiding it. But Recall when JP-3D Came out? We had a bump in like 100 active members on this forum alone. It got real hectic. 

We may be facing that again.

I believed someone suggested that all of the Regulars go "Offline" During like the first few weeks of the new Release. I don't know how well that would work, Especailly since it won't blow over too soon after release.

That being said, I am ready for whatever awaits. 

Sucho and Bary will have different colour designs than JP3 Spino, or even the colour scheme for the JW Spino toy.

I'll be ready for whatever comes, don't get me wrong. 

It'll be interesting to see how everything plays out.

Of course there will be debate! The I-Rex will probably kill most of the Raptors and the T-Rex will probably kill the I-Rex, You know that Spino skeleton on the website? I bet they're gonna say "This was on Isla Sorna and we killed it then brought it to Nublar", There will be A TON of debate after but the least we can do, Is get ready to control it. 

There may be a few fights hear and there but not as much as the spino vs rex. BUT, if the rex kills the other rex in a BS way, then fights will happen.

Done.

Ok.

Understood Spinofan. They wouldn't be a pushover by any means, but the theropods would still most likely come out on top more often than not.

I'm tired. Im not done yet.

Theropods are absolutely more agile than crocs on land. In fact I would suggest that Raptors would rival the cats in agility. I also realize that Jags kill crocs from ambush because they are natural ambush predators as are most cats. Mind you, I am not saying that the cats are the clear winners. I am simply trying to say that is no rollover for the dinosaurs.

I wasn't asking whether Spinosaurus would be in the movie. I was aking if Baryonx and Suchiomimus would resemble it.

Are you done now? If not, I agree with this so far. If yes, I agree with this, nice job.

It would be tough to fit Spino into the main action given the already hyped presence of Raptors and, to a small extent, the T. Rex. Nonetheless I remained convinced that Rexxy will play perhaps a pivotal role which leaves Spino with little to nothing other than being a possible victim for I. rex. I wouldn't much care for Spino being cast in the role of victim but after the events of JP3 it would certainly serve to solidify I.rex as a major force in the new film.

And there arms are much stronger.

I will make a thread like that later.

and jags kill small caimains from ambush.

Spinofan, let's not forget that theropods are significantly more agile than crocodiles on land. 

I think the head of Suchumimus and Barryonyx might resemble Spino's.

I wouldn't mind seeing some older mammals involved in this, like Smilodon, Dire Wolf, Cave Bear, the pig from hell, etc; IMHO the felines would stand the best chance of any mammal in this scenario given their inherant speed and agility, not to mention intelligence but the bite force obviously favors the theropods. Still, Jaguars, for example, have been known to hunt and kill crocs which have among the most powerful bite forces of any living animals. So assuming equality of size I would suggest that the cats would be a force.

It's ok. I want people to post their opinio, just when I'm done.

That's pretty good.

Sorry

I'm not done gang on for a bit.

Nice drawing! That's a lot better than what I could do.

It'll be interesting to see how Spino plays a role if it does at all.

^True.

Nice observation! The Tricderatops in the trailer looks almost exactly like the ones in the first and second movies!

At parity, leaning towards theropods. IMO, they had better jaws for combat, more tooth sticking out, and thicker hides.

That's just my opinion, so feel free to disagree.

^Hype hype hype hype hype.

Well, there's a Spino toy, a Spino skeleton in the park, and a few small pictures of Spino in the Innovation Center. Spino might return for the film. However, I doubt that CGI models from 2000-2001 would still be kept, so I think new models will be made.

Nice job! :) I'm happy this returned!

We'll see... (Hype, Hype, Hype) 

With any luck, a different design. 

Good to hear that Rexy won't be as skinny in her pics.  It doesn't suit her to lose that much weight.

There's an adult behind the Triceratops logo.
