Just... nah. 
Im going against my morals here.

Wuts wrong with the giant crane? 

Although you may think I like Spinosaurus, I don’t like the on I’m talking about in this poll. So... T. rex!

*ugh*

One of the problems I have with the JP3 spinosaurus, is that it wasn’t really cared about. It looked cool but it just seemed like they wanted to shock us into liking it. a they didn’t really try new things with it. It only server the purpose to be bigger and badder then rexy

Ok! Thanks!

Polls are now live on the Jurassic forums! You can add one to this topic now.

i like them both so go figure-

mom pick me up im scared

If the reason Dr. Wu made the info raptor black because he thought black looked cool on this thing.. no

JW: Camp Cretaceous is really trying hard to be scary. The design comes of as more humanoid than dinosaur. 

i like that people are still falling for it. Anyway, i also think it’s funny that Kamoebas V.6 and I just didn’t say anything about it

Your last comment confuses me. Wait is the topic about who would win in a fight or who likes who more?

I like giant storks that eat ten foot long fish and have huge sails on their backs.

why would you do this >:(

counter attack

@squshaDash, I agree.

@Chris, Ok!

The purpose of this topic was to see how much of the fan base like Spino more than T. rex and how much of the fan base like T. rex more than Spino.

Me: You think this funny?

Alphadino65: In a cosmic sort of way, Yes.

Polls will be added to this forum soon! Still rolling out the update across all hosted communities.

It depends on where the battle is taking place.

The image of Spinosaurus has changed a lot since 2001, now believed to be a stubby-legged, paddle-tailed fish eater that was more adapted to an aquatic lifestyle (although considering how much its image has changed over the years and the controversies surrounding these new finds, I'm not 100% sure how accurate it is). While Tyrannosaurus was more adapted to hunting on land, with a stronger bite force for dealing with larger and stronger prey.

If Tyrannosaurus fought Spinosaurus in a large body of water, the Spino would possibly win, if the the T. rex fought the Spino on dry land the Rex would probably win.

yeah, and lazy was my friend sooo...

im just gonna say that because i dont particularly enjoy drama

im just gonna go with Rex but tbh i dont even care anymore

this fight is referred to way too much and i kinda just dont care for it anymore

you do you though

The Rex would win on the land because home field advantage

Spino wins for his claws and experience,only thing the Rex has is bite force but people over exxagerate it.

Why can’t I make a poll

Remember, we still don't know for sure what dinosaurs looked like. Fossils of preserved skin on a Tyrannosaurus rex suggested that it was rather scaly. It’s possible that the giants didn’t need feathery thermal insulation, as their bodies were better able to retain heat, similar to modern elephants and rhinos.

People got mad and considered it a Hate comment on the person and Lazyfish said "You know on scified we do not call people out".

I got banned cause of calling out someone.

Kamoebas V.6

So you became hated in the community for disagreeing with someone and calling them out on their actions? That really doesn't sell the idea of the community being "fine". If anything it just shows how toxic and awful it has become...

Like in the past of my activity,i disagreed a lot with LazyFish.Not much after that but i ended up being really hated for calling out someone in the Dino Forums.

 The paleontology community is fine for me.

The first quote is from the opening to 1993 live action Super Mario Bros. movie.

Here's a screenshot from it:

fair game, Dash. fair game.

over my head

Also, I'm wondering if anyone's going to know what that first quote I used is from...

Well, people can be people

This topic was only partially based on your topic (it wasn't meant to be a full response). It was mainly me venting the frustration towards the paleo community that I've had for the past 7 years. The topic of scientific accuracy in film has been a huge debate since 2014, and it's something that unfortunately has become way too heated. I've been obsessed with prehistoric life since I was very young, and it makes me upset to see the community surrounding this subject acting this hostile towards everything. As much as I love accurate dinosaurs, it's annoying to see these "paleo elitists" constantly whining over inaccuracies. My main point of this topic was that people get way too angry and dramatic over this subject and need to calm down. I mainly used the Jurassic series as an example because it's the one that gets targeted the most by the paleo community. I love Jurassic Park and I mostly like Jurassic World (Fallen Kingdom was kind of ehh in my opinion) so it makes me sad to see these movies become a punching bag for the paleo community. 

SasquaDash

Yeah, I don’t blame you. The way I became interested by reading scientific articles on them. So when I bought books about dinosaurs I would critique them on accuracy as well. 

As for my Topic, my point wasn’t that hollywood isn’t accurate, it just seems to me, that they label things they call accuracy are not added for accuracy as I said, it’s something they use as a tool to shock people and draw more attention. 

I just used Jurassic Park as an example because it had innacurracies, but I still really like the films. 

Again, Feathers not used for scientific or logical reasons but to try to say something new, which is basically again trying to appeal to the masses

I have a lot to say about this subject (too much to fit in one comment) so I'll probably make a response topic.  

As far as the "rainbow" feathered rex in Dinosaur Island (2014) goes, it's now considered inaccurate as there have been multiple fossilized skin impressions of later tyrannosaurs (mainly T. rex, Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and Gorgosaurus) that show that they were mostly, if not completely scaly (despite what some feather obsessed people in the paleo community try to claim). 

yeah that

Dinosaur Island 2014 to be précised. The 1994 Dinosaur Island is an Adult Film

Dinosaur Island I assume you mean?

but yeah, that'd be nice to have a piece of media with feathered, more neutral-demeanored dinosaurs. i've been thinking about making something like that in the future...

I loved the way you capitalized the feelings as if they were things in the story. Really adds a certain depth to the story.
