Crap, it accidentally got put on the Aliens Forums by mistake!

Could someone please delete this post?

The wrists thing has really made me more excited than i was before, idk why its just cool.

Blue favoritism remains present

But pretty cool not going to lie

You bring up good points to support why this scene wasn't absolutely odd, but I will say with everything else jammed into this film, I don't think a Raptor swimming in ice water is necessary at all. Also - people falling into ice water and not dying relatively soon afterwards always makes me roll my eyes in movies. The threat of falling in ice is fine but actually doing so sends the body into an intense state of shock. Definitely wouldn't be able to out swim, or fight a Raptor underwater.

I get Fast and Furious vibes from JW Dominion with the latest trailer... I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Thank You :)

As for the Pyro's wrists, they actually are in the right position, Steve Brusatte mentioned that they fixed the wrists for some of the theropod dinosaurs, the Giga, Pyroraptor, Allosaurus, Therizinosaurus and Atrociraptors have properly position wrists. I even noticed that there were some shots in the Prologue where it looked like Rexy's wrists were position correctly. They've definitely made more progress with dinosaur accuracy than the previous movies (even if it's still not 100% perfect). 

Also did Collin Fix the broken wrists on Pyro? I noticed the same with Giga?

Are people going through.. INNACURACY WITHDRAWLS??

First of all your counterargument was amazing. Literally dismantled my argument very well.

I'm not convinced that its a normal behavior though but yeah. The paleo community is full of some

people. 

Theres a rant about feathered dinosaurs that the paleo community got youtube to mark as inappropriate, even though it's more kid friendly than most things.

The anger of thousands descends upon you when you make a wrong step.

The picture of the Giga and Rex facing off is really similar to the Rex vs Spino image. It could potentially be callback to it.

Some of the non avian animals that were brought up in the meme I made actually do hunt in water.

Bears swim and hunt fish all the time.

Jaguars will actually dive into water to hunt fish and caiman.

The wolf image I used was of a breed of "coastal wolf" which live on the pacific coast of Canada. They spend a lot of time swimming and primarily hunt fish and seals. They're actually genetically distinct from regular gray wolves.

As far as Pyroraptor being able to swim, there isn't enough evidence to prove or disprove it. Halszkaraptor is part of the same family as Pyroraptor (both being types of dromaeosaur), and it is thought to have been able to swim and dive, so it's possible that other dromaeosaurs could as well. The JW Pyroraptor is genetically altered and does have adaptations that allow it to swim.

As far as divining in cold water. The pyroraptor seen in the movie was specifically placed in a cold snowy environment, which indicates that it was designed and bred to withstand freezing temperatures, so it's feathers and possible fat act as insulation for it.   

There's definitely arguments you can make against the idea of a swimming pyroraptor. I was actually pretty iffy about it at first. My point was that the idea isn't really as crazy or unrealistic as some people are claiming, and it's definitely not getting upset over (or, in the case of some people in the paleo community, throwing juvenile tantrums)

Also is this just me or is the picture with the giga and t rex, eeriely similar to the spino and rex pciture?

many of the roars roughly translate to,

"why so serious?"

Theres only one thing i can really think of that could somewhat discredit your argument, is that most of the birds that you list are adapted to more aqautic lifestyles. Note the build and beak shapes as a reference. And another thing is many animals can swim yes, but are not adapted to it so only swim when needed or enjoyment.

Most the animals that you list can swim, but do not hunt underwater. The differnece is the pyroraptor seems to be trying to hunt from the water. Which is something it wouldnt be able to do. 

It doesnt have a hydrodynamic build, nor like the birds that do swim and hunt underwater, have a spearing beak or bottomfeeding duck bill. And most of the non avian animals you describe keep theyre heads above the water while you swim.

Its the just the behavior makes no sense

I mean its not impossible. But like would a raptor dive under ice to attack a person? Because the water is freezing and it might not escape.

But hey! Welcome to Jurassic Park!

Oops, I made a typo in the first sentence, I accidentally put "They're" instead of "Their"... 

EDIT: The typo has been fixed, Thank You Chris!

I also made this meme to sum up my thoughts on this:

"You wanna know how I got these scars? My ancestor was a rex killer."

You know how trevorrow said the Giga would be similar to the Joker?

Well if you look at his face, he has a smile ish scar.

I overeacted as well

ErlikosaurusIsCool420

I got mad at Monsterzero for offending me.

I overeacted.

Is this an apology or something?

im only for the Zalmoxes

I am not looking forward to a Disney Era ALIEN nor PREDATOR, I sure hope Disney doesn't have Jurassic Park in their sights! Marvel's ALIEN comics is just sad, I wish Dark Horse could reclaim the ALIEN comics property.

Back to Dinotopia, yeah the Disney adaptation as far as the mini-series was concern was horrible. I have never seen the sequel Tv series, I guess I dodge a bullet there.

Im sorry for directly getting mad. This is a very personal matter for me and honestly i should have just ignored it rather than immaturely reacted the way I did. 

Im sorry for making you fell bad. This was my fault entirely.

Xenotaris

too much work. Disney has several other studios it needs to buy, and Frachises to start, destroy, or confuse.

I remember in the live-action series they made the mosasaurus basically crocodiles with their more crocodilian appearance and having legs instead of flippers. They made the dimorphodon into a bird rather than a pterosaur and even called the pterosaurs, birds! Did anyone at Disney or Hallmark ever cared to pick up and skim through a dinosaur book or was that too much work?

Im very sorry.

I shall now proceed to the corner andd curl up and cry while the voices inside my head tell me how much of a bad person I am.

yay

i would, just to see what it's like

I dont think ill be watching that now 

I just found out they made a cartoon movie, the box art looks eerily similar to The Land Before Time

Damn, wasn't expecting the pictures to be this big!

I need to get back into reading the books, I didn't even know they had novels too this series nor video games. I only read the first BOOK!

This is the one, it was a joint Disney and Hallmark production that aired on ABC

wasn't there a hallmark series (i saw it on Billiam's channel)

Huh, I didn't even know it had sequel series until now

Yes, well technically ABC, back in the early 2000's

Xenotaris

theres a disney show?

well there is always the edit button

Dinotopia, this brings me back to my childhood, I even still have the dinotopia mug. Picture is fading and the lip has since chipped.

I even saw the crappy disney mini-series, I would love to own a Dinotopia book
