Dynamosaurus Imperiosus/ Raptorexxx 700

MemberCompsognathusJul-13-2015 6:57 PM

After re-watching Jurassic world I noticed something strange, other than it's brain power, camouflage, fourth digit on the hand, and crocodile mouth Indominus is unnervingly similar to Saurophaganax, that 14 meter long Allosaurus. I mean look at them both:

 Discounting the fact that one has horns, and the other has crests, they're bizzarely similar down to the relatively long arms. Also if you take notice, in the film Indominus can open its mouth very widely ( MILD SPOILERS : The part where he  grabs the hamster-ball-thingy the kids are in. SPOILERS OVER ) just like Allosaurs which are speculated to be able to open their mouths extremely wide, and might have even used it as an axe ( An ability that would've actually made The I. rex even more awesome ). they are also very similar in length and height, I- rex : 50 feet- Saurophaganax: 45 feet.

Also I. rex had a Tyrannosaur like skull, yes but as far as I saw its killing techniques are much more similar to those of an Allosaurid than a Tyrannosaur ( MILD SPOILERS AGAIN: the part where the I. rex takes out the Ankylosaur, At first it tried to bite the Ankylosaur on its armoured back, but it's jaws were too weak to break the tough armor so it actually used its long arms to slash the Ankylo's legs then after flipping it, it didn't break it's neck by biting it down like a Tyrannosaur would, it broke it by twisting it, implying it had strong neck muscles like an allosaur and a weaker bite than a Tyrannosaur. SPOILERS OVER )  Anyway, this was something I took notice to, might be true, might not, I don't know but its really interesting never the less, So i wanted to share it with everyone, hope y'all liked the post, cheers! 

 

Btw : That makes me think about how Frickin Terryfing a Saurophaganax would be in real life, whoa

THAT"S WHAT I THOUGHT!!! Indominus Rex is basically a super smart Saurophaganax with some extra features such as temprature control and camouflage with osteoderms and a fourth claw that's pretty much it ( it's pretty cool non-the-less )

Its design maybe similar, but it still is made up of many carnivores and none are of Allosaurus decent.

Good grief.

DYNAMOSAURUS IMPERIOSUS - What a very neat theory - and I can certainly see how you have drawn to your conclusions! Indeed; the Indominus rex certainly does bear a strong similarity to the Saurophaganax. Perhaps the design teams decided to use that particular animal's appearance as a base for their creation? it is a very compelling thought! Of course, I am hesitant to say that a Saurophaganax would possess the same personality and mannerisms as the I-rex; after all, Jurassic World's pale-skinned atagonist was created from a large plethora of creatures - many of which were not dinosaus. The absolute cruelty and viciousness along with the physical capabilities evidenced by the I-rex were likely resultant of its genetic instability and the fact that is was raised in isolation. With that being said, there is no way to state that Saurophaganax did not behave in a fashion similar to the I-rex - all the more reason to hope that science gives neither of these animals the chance to walk the face of world!

SOMETHING REAL - I wasn't talking about mental state and visciousness I was talking about physical POSSIBLITIES both Animals possess.

I see the similarities between the two.

DYNAMOSARUS IMPERIOSUS - Yes; which is why I stated in my original response that there is no way to state that Saurophaganax did not share similarities to the I-rex. However, now that I have had time to ponder the physical aspects of the animals you desire to compare, I have doubt that even Saurophaganax could open its mouth to the degree evidenced by the I-rex. I draw this conclusion due to the fact that the I-rex was shown to have snake DNA within its physiology. Looking further still, the I-rex sometimes adopted a semi-quadrupedal stance - a trait that is likely not displayed by the Saurophaganax. With regard to the method of kiling: that is a mannerism, not a physical characteristic. Certainly, such actions take into account physcial aptitude; however, the manner in which an animal takes prey is based in psychology. Watching the I-rex slay the ankylosaurus was not an educational piece - it was a scene in a film meant to evoke a sense of savagery, to wit the I-rex's mental instability (once again, the mental state of the predator). The I-rex was on the rampage and wanted to kill, doing so in the swiftest means it could. I have considerable doubt that the design leads chose to model a set of brief instances after the involved biomechanics present in the killing methods of an actual dinosaur.

and the Allosaurus...

 

so that fake photos werent so fake at all because the I-rex design is too similar to them

I remember back in 2013 or early 2014 that some early concept art was leaked of Owen running from a large carnivorous dinosaur, and then the headshot of that animal was released.  It turned out to be the Indominus rex, in the movie, but the concept art was too detailed to be her.  It looked exactly like Allosaurus or Saurophaganax.  So it`s probable that a true allosaurid (not carcharadontasaurid) was inspiration for Indominus rex in it`s concept art infancy, but the final product had too much of a carcharadontasaurid and abelisaurid mix for the skull.
