MemberCompsognathusJan-07-2014 7:21 PMSo, y'know how JP fanboys say "The dinosaurs are genetically engineered/theme park monsters, so it's OK if they don't have feathers"?
And y'know how they say "Spino couldn't have killed T .rex because (insert reason here)"?
So, under their logic, a Velociraptor can be whatever the hell it wants to be because "it's a theme park monster", but Spiny can't beat Rexy because....
Cool story bro.
Please note that by "fanboy" I mean the annoying ones, not you specifically.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-07-2014 7:28 PMIts the way Spino won, not the fact that we are "fanboys." When Spino "fanboys" say something complete BS to make Spino sound superior, it's not looked down on, noooooooo, it's encouraged at times, that's what pisses me off.
That's all, I'm not offended, just saying my opinion (it pisses people off when us Rex fans say opinion too).

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-07-2014 7:35 PMMore, not looked down upon than anything. People don't give them crap for it, but they do give people crap for supporting Rex.

MemberCompsognathusJan-07-2014 8:33 PMI've never heard of "Velociraptor can be whatever the hell it wants because" Google... sorry, I just had to make that -Rooster Teeth- reference, But still, Ive never heard that. To explain Genetics, which in the film is more cannon rather then complete truth, In the film, the easist way to explain it is like a computer program, The programmer (Ingen) Chooses what needs to be added to the DNA strand Whats left out, An explanation for the raptors head feathers, however isnt genetics, its logic...
Crazy I know.. But look at it like this, We never see any male raptors In JP 1 or 2, Because they were all engineered female, In the second one, the females are out hunting, in the third one, we see both a female and males, males have feather crests For mating purposes, females do not, The alpha was a female...
Boom..
Mind blown yet?
As stated by THEE Actual paleontoligist who worked on the film for the third one, Rex would've won, but it was Yet a juvinile...
Feathers would appear on Pups/hatchlings, for warmth, but would be lost in warm climates, and gained in cold enviroments Due to Nublar/sorna being in a rather warm climate, the dinosaurs didnt have them, except, for some small predators for mating reasons.
Man, you shouldve seen last year, It was a complete battle ground... Back and fourth, all the time...
Many Rex fans were put down by spino fans for many reasons... But we've reached a form of peace agreement now I guess...

MemberCompsognathusJan-07-2014 8:33 PMIt used to happen quite often during the Great Rex-Spino War(that's what I've come to call it), but after many of the senior Jurassic World Members established the debate(the offensive parts at least) was pointless as we're weren't gonna be changing anyone's minds any time soon, it stopped.
PS- Spino vs Rex is dead.
Lord Vader
MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-07-2014 8:34 PMLook at it this way:
When a T-Rex fan posts something as to why they believe Rex to be larger/more fitted for combat than Spino (opinions/theories, scientific evidence with a link, etc.), we get called "biased" and "fanboys" by people who think Spino is larger. Then, those same people who called us biased, say some complete BS as to why Spino was larger/more fitted for combat than Rex (it had giant arms and could rip Rex's head off before it got anywhere near it, I seriously saw that once), and they get called "biased" and "fanboys" by the Rex fans who were called those by them.
Now then, that out of the way, this has been said TIME AND TIME AGAIN, by ME, REX FAN 684, DELTADROMEUS, and SEVERAL OTHERS, REX VS SPINO IS DEAD. Perhaps you didn't intend for that to be said (I don't think you did, but you worded it "wrong" to not raise contraversy). Anywho, in a sense, this is not so much a Rex vs Spino as it is the Rex fans are annoying and hate Spino.

MemberCompsognathusJan-07-2014 8:45 PMRex Versus Spino has indeed lost its "umph" But maybe Something will re kindle this fire... Not the war.. good lord, all we need is a second Spino Vs Rex war... But the fans coming together to agree on it...

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-07-2014 8:48 PMBasically, anything Rex vs (insert ANY predator, Giga, Charcar, Torvo, ANYTHING) will piss people off (mostly Rex haters though).

MemberCompsognathusJan-07-2014 8:57 PMIndeed. I'm finding myself more interested in theropod fights involving mid-large sized dinosaurs rather than the usual super-predators. My Albertosaurus vs Deltadromeus fight would be a good example.
Lord Vader
MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-07-2014 9:01 PMAs would my Albertosaurus vs Utahraptor fight. Those are the battles where the winner doesn't matter a great deal to me (if Alberto HAS to lose at some point during DD9097MS, I'm going have a hard time killing it, I'll probably make the opponent spare him/her in some way).

Rex Fan 684
MemberCompsognathusJan-07-2014 9:03 PMExactly. When I see two theropods go head to head that I could care less about(still find cool, just not too in to them), then I'm more interested than if it's a fight involving a Rex cause I'll just sit there and worry the Rex will die or something. If that makes sense.
Lord Vader
MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-07-2014 9:08 PMI'm more worried about if Rex will die in a BS way (like many of my deaths in online games).

MemberTyrannosaurus RexJan-07-2014 9:10 PMThe BS Rex death, or the BS online deaths? Seriously, some people just need to get a life.

No... This has already been disproven countless times.
1: Feathers are not warmth, they're insulation. They work in cold and heat.
2: We've found feather anchor points on a fully grown Velociraptor, which lived in the Gobi desert...
FACT DUDE
MemberCompsognathusJan-08-2014 8:53 AMPaden, the spinosaurus in jp3 was a juvenille as well.
Sci-Fi King25
MemberAllosaurusJan-08-2014 12:01 PMNo, the Tyrannosaurus was a juvenile. The Spinosaurus was a sub-adult.
“Banana oil.”- George Takei, Gigantis: The Fire Monster
FACT DUDE
MemberCompsognathusJan-08-2014 1:00 PMKid, the Trex was not a juvenille by any means, they were both younger than adult.
Rex Fan 684
MemberCompsognathusJan-08-2014 2:57 PMThe T-rex was listed as a sub-adult. There are no official statements saying that the Spinosaurus was an adult or a sub-adult. It's always been assumed it was a sub-adult due to it's length of 43 ft. Then again, if you're one to believe Spinosaurus didn't get much bigger than that(I personally say 50-56 ft), then maybe it was an adult. Once again, it essentially comes back to opinions and no one is right and no one is wrong.

MemberCompsognathusJan-08-2014 5:13 PMOnce again, Its an argue of theroies all over again...
@Sinornithosaurus
I can't completey argue with that, and I now read it over, sounds like it came off rather brash, Never the less, Its not a complete science of proving it, or else we'd see feathers more often and on more speicies... The fossilization progress would take them away, granted but still, if its true we should see some more on modern day creatures...
Also, Shouldve stated this somewhere, my explanation was for the film, not real a life scenario.
