Why do people prefer the t-rex over the spinosaurus?

The Rex is the legend.!!! the boss. No matter which new killer carnivore comes in!!? Rex defeats

As a DIE-HARD fan of T-Rex I'm going to give Drum a honest answer. I believe it's the fear of change/favoritism! People was introduce to T-Rex back in 1906, and even then it was in general media like King Kong(1933) seen as the most powerful carnivore on land. And as the decades progressed the media only enlarged that image for Tyrannosaurus Rex. Jurassic Park, and The Lost World were maybe the staples of T-Rex height of fame....maybe including Sharptooth from Land Before Time. So when this newcomer comes along and kills the "King"....not all but many fans were not happy about it...and the answer is simple, many of us have "cemented" T-rex as the one true ruler. And we refuse too let that go! Thinks about it....you see a childhood movie, loved it, grew up on it. Then 15-20 years later they make a reboot....the new generation in general loves it. But you, and others from a older generation, who loved the original are hard to please, and even close to impossible to say they loved that remake. I was born in 1985....my first T-rex experience was with Dino-Riders in 1987. Then 1988 it was Sharptooth....93' Jurassic Park.....97 The Lost World.....NOW. 25 YEARS OF T-REX...then in 2001...a new dinosaur comes on the sceen and expects to recieve the same amount of love......NO...JUST NO! Drum...I would love to be your friend....you like the Spinosaurus...I like the T-Rex(I also like the Spinosaurus but not as much) we can agree to disagree. It's just a matter of opinion in all reality :)

I agree with the other reply. It is all a matter of personal taste. I enjoyed Jurassic Park 3 (yes, I know many didn't like 3 but I was entertained by it) and I thought Spinosaurus was cool. I did find myself a wee bit perturbed when he snapped the neck of my beloved Rex though, lol. I really don't think it matters who is your favorite. As long as someone supports the series of films they're alright in my book. I'm almost 31 years old and am literally giddy over the 3D re-release of JP and the news of the 2014 release of JP4. Personally, I hope both T-Rex and ol' Spino have a lot of screen time in the new film. =)

I just look at Spinosaurus and I don't see a vicious killer like T-Rex. It apparently ate Fish, not T-Rex, they only used it because with it's sail it was a bit bigger than T-Rex. You simply can't beat the classic, and in JP3, the Rex that faced the Spino was apparently a juvenile male, imagine if the fully grown female from Jurassic Park 1 fought the Spinosaurus instead - I can imagine a different outcome. But that's my opinion, I'm #TeamRex, all day, every day, haha.

Appreciate the feedback guys!!! :) Don't get me wrong I love the t-rex just as much. I aswell grew up on the trex being king. I'll never forget the first time seeing jp for the first time, I was only 3 and its honestly the only memory I have at that age haha. Im not gonna lie the 3rd film was my least favorite, but I instantly feel in love with spino soon as he was introduced. I just loved the concept that it could swim, it gave me a whole new prespective on dinosaurs. The fight between the 2 did seem a little unrealistic and the trex didnt get the credit it deserved, and I agree with chris a full grown male trex and spino fight would be quite interesting. But then again im just baseing my opinion on the films, for all I know the spinosaurus could be a little bitch haha. But basing my opinion on the film I have to favor the spino. I really look forward to the next film and I wouldnt be disappointed in anyway if they decided to make the trex king once more. :D

I happen just be unfamiliar with this spinosaurus that's why T-Rex ^^;

I went with Team Spino 'cause I'm Aussie and we support the underdog. Usually, anyways...............
