How do we know his are more accurate? Does anyone have a photo of a real live dinosaur to compare to?

If trees were super big back then, how have we only found bugs in amber and not also like dog sized dinos? Wouldn't big trees make more amber? 🤔

I was expecting feathers but ogey

It’s not horrifying in the least bit.

Saved you a click.

Not horrifying at all. Still worth a click though. The vision based on movement joke had me laughing.

So he says he started with a 3d scan of skeleton, which is good. But then he says he sculpted it, and that's where the question is - seems like a lot of guesswork involved in making up flesh to fit that skeleton.

Is the government hiding something?

Yeah I don't see how this guy applied any science here which would suggest that these be more accurate than the original movie. It's just a sculptor putting different tissue over the same skeleton. Also not horrifying at all.

I choose to believe the ones in JP are accurate for their frame of reference. Since they were spliced with frog DNA they wouldn’t have turned out exactly how we expect them now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

That's the excuse they use in the newer movies. Better than retconning their appearances.

Raid shadow legends, wtf. I always thought its a meme and not real.

There's also one who edits his cat into movies.

Here's one of JP.

That is extremely good. Thankfully there only appear to be 99 videos in the channel so it can only consume a portion of my life.

In the words of Shakespeare- what are we but consumers?

They was accurate back in 93. They just updated them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Even in '93 they used gene editing to stop reproduction (which failed) and the combination with DNA of modern animals to fill in the gaps as an excuse for them not being perfect copies of real dinosaurs.

And then there's the line in JP3: "What John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters. Nothing more, and nothing less."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

There were sequels to Jurassic Park?

Where are the feathers…?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not all dios have feathers, just like all current lizards don’t have feathers.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

last common ancestor of lizards and dinos was 250 million years ago odd. Dinosaurs aren't really lizards.

Idk about feathers but that's worth correcting.

At least try not to assume too many things from ancient palaeontologist who make things up because they didn’t have the technology at the time. The winged dinosaurs theory can’t explain many things about the dinosaurs. The very few were actual flying types and the dinosaurs who couldn’t fly aren’t realistic explained. The popular ember dino with feather wings was brought from the black market, there’s no farther research into it, the ember is locked away and only a few research was done. That’s what’s called bad research.

The raptors have some, but ya. Guy needs to download a texture pack mod too anyway.

Everyone's a critic. I have something for you: A painter sat at the river one time, and a little bit distressed. A shoemaker came by, and he asked the painter, "What is wrong?".

The painter answered, "I can't for the life of me figure out how to paint the threads of these sandals!", to which the shoemaker replied, "I am a shoemaker, I can tell you, that the frazzles do not go that way, they go like so!", and showed the stunned painter.

"That's just it! Thank you, kind shoemaker!"

"My pleasure. Now, you might also want to change that cloud, it seems a bit off color..."

"Shoemaker, stay at your heel."

Sorry about the ad that got stuck there in the subtext, don't think I had any control over that..
