Therizinosaurus is rumored, but not confirmed (yet). I mainly wanted to point out how its appearance might have accidently been revealed in one of the early production photos.
One of the first introductions to dinosaurs that I had as a kid were the Land Before Time movies. Needless to say, there are a lot of inaccuracies in that series, dinosaurs from the Cretaceous and Jurassic coexisting, herbivorous toothed Pteranodons, heck the first movie had a Dimetrodon (a very lizard-like one) in it and those guys were extinct long before the dinosaurs showed up. Not once did these inaccuracies "harm" my perception or knowledge of prehistoric life, nor did my future knowledge of dinosaurs harm my view of the series (the first Land Before Time is still one of my favorite animated movies, despite me being in my mid 20s).
I think the paleo community needs to realize that inaccuracies in dinosaur films are kind of inevitable and that we shouldn't be so enraged over every tiny detail, we should instead enjoy things for the way they are. Life's too short to be constantly mad over fictional depictions of long dead animals (ones that we've technically never seen).
Whats wrong with human cloning? I mean InGen already cloned the dinosaurs, which is an epic if not god-tier feat in itself. Cloning a human would be child's play
My favorite is actually The Lost World. I loved the T.rex city destruction scene.
It's Jurassic Park that encouraged me to become a palæontology enthusiast.
I'm pretty sure Therizinosaurus will appear in the film. There are multiple sources saying so.
"The film makers arent the ones destroying the views of dinosaurs in the public its the community."
I agree, 100%
It's their crappy attitude towards everyone that's harming the way people view prehistory, people don't want to learn about dinosaurs if they are constantly being insulted and harassed by a bunch of jerks who think they know everything. Hell, I've been obsessed with dinosaurs for as long as I can remember and grew up wanting to be a paleontologist. However, after seeing the way people in the community act, it makes me want nothing to do with them, so I can only imagine what it would be like for newcomers.
As far as Ice Age goes, It's cool if you don't like it. I personally enjoy the first 3 movies, mainly because I grew up with them (the series went completely downhill after the 4th movie though). The reason I brought it up was to point out the double standard of the paleo community. There are a lot of scientific inaccuracies in that series (some that are technically worse than anything in the Jurassic series), however, rarely does the paleo community complain about it, but the second Jurassic World does anything, they absolutely loose their minds.
I know my point isnt completely valid, but its not imposssible we find a t rex and giga together at the same time.
Also I hate Ice Age. Just a random side note
Cult Like? well I guess real maturity shows through its practice. Not declaring your maturity because you think you know more about a certain subject than others.
The film makers arent the ones destroying the views of dinosaurs in the public its the community. Who in the right ind would want to learn about dinosaurs when the community for them is shouting death threats at a film maker because a T. Rex and Giga fight in a probably very cool scene
"And a counterargument could be made. theres no evidence against Giga and T rex living in the same place."
I would slightly disagree with that, I think there's enough evidence to show that T .rex and Gigas didn't live together (in location and time), but I do understand what you're saying.
Personally, I find it weird that it's always the Jurassic series getting crap for its inaccuracies, yet not a lot of people complain about inaccuracies in other prehistoric franchises. I've rarely seen people complaining about the accuracy of The Land Before Time, Ice Age, The Flintstones, Primal or any other piece of media featuring prehistoric animals. I get that the Jurassic series is more "mainstream" and has a larger influence on the public, but it seems pretty hypocritical to target one specific piece of media, while giving others a pass.
It's funny, the paleo community often stereotypes the Jurassic Park/World fandom as being "immature", "mindless", and "cult-like". Yet, the Jurassic fandom has shown more maturity and class in this situation (and in others) than any of these so-called "professionals"...
yeah, I see that.
“Cretaceous Cancel Culture” Love that.
“He goes on to say that the these creative choices and liberties were made to serve the story that the film is trying to tell and shuts down accusations of it being harmful to the public's perception of dinosaurs.” Yeah, I agree with that.
And a counterargument could be made. theres no evidence against Giga and T rex living in the same place. You cant say well theres no fossils, because we barely have any fossils and even though we learned a lot about Dinosaurs, our view of them and their time is probably very inaccurate.
I vent a lot
In fact I should make a whole folder dedicated to all the dumb vent art I've drawn over the years
also, what SasquaDash said^
It won't completely change anything, the rant is mostly meant to release the bottled up frustrations that I've had for years, however, I'm hoping that by making it public it will help spread awareness to these issues that this community has. I'm hoping that at least a few people will listen and hopefully, by drawing attention to these problems, it helps to resolve these issues so that the community can improve itself for the future, if it doesn't, well at least I tried...
and? it doesnt solve the problem
i mean, venting is a valid way of expressive feelings
Over the years I've seen a lot of garbage in the paleo community and despite all that I've written so far, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of the many problems in that community. I'm trying to condense it as much as I can while still going into detail about it.
This is truly a rant 7-8 years in the making.
7 is my favorite number
this isn't relevant to what was said i just wanted to say
now, on topic...
HOLY COW
I'll post a link to it when I'm done. I'm still trying to put all of my thoughts together, there's a lot I have to say. I've currently written 7 pages worth, and there's still a lot I have to say (I meant it when I said I wasn't holding back)
Ahh...my old DA...when i used it...
i need to use it
*Update* I'm a little more than half way done my full rant/essay.
I'm going to be uploading it to my DeviantArt account, because I'm a little worried that some of the things that I talk about in it might not be accepted on this site and I don't want to accidentally violate some rules of this site. I will post a link when it is uploaded.
me,how fast are they?
jwe2,well we clocked the mosasouarus at about 30-
me, mosasaurus? yo said yo got a mosasaurus?
jwe2, yes.
me, say it again

Please, I hope to the dinosaur gods, that a Site B mode will be included in this one otherwise I'm going have to reinstall Operation Genesis
Wait what was wrong with Fallen Kingdom?
