Jurassic Park Series

[Space Sweeper]

Nah, I'll believe it, but we're just saying that the JP3 raptors were laaaaame. Both in design and actions. And Jack Horner, pfft, Jack Horner insists on giving them feathers, yet he doesn't give a shit about the size of the dinosaur he calls velociraptor? f**k off, Jack Horner.

Think the name is more at the behest of the writer and director.

Dude still was the advisor. He called them as such in the special features as well... I think the commentary even. Never made an attempt at correcting it.

I really don't care about that though. I just hate the stupid 'evolution' bullshit that they insisted on implying that it had happened on the island after a couple of years. Yes, and also in that time, a fish swam outta the ocean, grew legs and it started walking. That motherf**ker was spinosaurus.

If its instinctive for felines to always go for the neck, and apes to use weapons on other apes, is it really that much of a stretch to think a Raptor couldn't know how to break necks?

[DoomRulz]

I'll admit, Spinosaurus did just kind of pop up out of nowhere. But I'm willing to believe what Grant says to Billy: "It wasn't <on their list>. Makes you wonder what else they were up to."

I know they're Deinonychus. But Velociraptor is the more exotic name of the two, hence why it was used.

Also because Deinonychus wasn't the name of the animal until around post-production. But yeah, one definitely sounds cooler than the other.

Eh? Deinonychus antirrhopus was described in 1969

The movies feature Velociraptor antirrhopus. It was still '93.

I know the genus changed during the filming. But did Deinonychus have that resonating chamber or was that lifted from the Mongolia ones? Because if it didn't, major error. That's what I am getting at. It was probably a pretty close portrayal in the earlier films.

I'm aware. I was aware 10 years ago, too. They never mention it again, as if it were going to lead to a grander scheme. As if InGen had gone back to the island and just said...

After that, I find it hard to believe you've never played Portal 2.

Anyway, take my input with a grain of salt. I haven't cleaned out my paleontologist boots in a few years.

...

you had me at hello

[Space Sweeper]

I'd say Utahraptor...

[Shasvre]

Oops, removed my message to do some modifications, didn't see your reply.

But yeah, Deinonychus seem a bit small. Somewhere between Deinonychus and Utahraptor sounds about right.

[Alien³]

I don't get why some people would love to just replace the Velociraptor with Deinonychus in Jurassic Park because of a few faults with the Raptors that don't match it's real life counterpart. Remember in the world of Jurassic Park these are genetically engineered theme park monsters nothing more and nothing less. So who gives a damn what they are as long as they're kicking ass.

a major point in the first movie was that birds evolved from Dinos, and then you moan that they make the males colourful?

it makes total sense to me,

Anyone familiar enough with the novels knows that it could've been BioSyn's doing. Sadly, the only reference to BioSyn we got in the movies was Dogson paying Nedry to get those embryos off Nublar.

I am familiar with the novels. Anybody who thinks that BioSyn could have anything to do with that stupid continuity error is most likely the next Predxeno. Come on. Do you honestly think that ever crossed any of the writers minds?

After already establishing a certain look for two movies? A much more intimidating one? Yes. It's a continuity issue, and they thought people would just... look right past it. They shouldn't have dumbed them down for that family-fun ending either.
