Dinosaur Expert Reacts to Dinosaur Movies

With the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we wanted to see how the dinos that we love to watch in movies and tv shows hold up under the scrutiny of a dinosaur expert. The verdict? Well, there’s a lot of angry roaring …
In Vulture’s new series, Expert Witness, we ask scientists, historians, and other professionals to give Hollywood movies a good old-fashioned fact check.

Well actually in Jurassic World Doctor Wu says “Nothing in Jurassic World is natural! If the dinosaurs DNA were pure, many of them would look quite different.

In Michael Crichton's original book, it is addressed that all of the dinosaurs had reconstructed DNA and therefore were just cheap imitations of dinosaurs. Henry Wu actually mentions that since so many artificial mutations were added to the dinosaurs, like the lysine deficiency, even if the dinosaurs were direct clones, they still wouldn't be true dinosaurs.

The real T rex sound could be close to the lowest notes of a double bass. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maHMoZSLm8iho68 for other dinosaurs we must understand the relation between the bones and fleshy parts (extension of palate especially) what is actually difficult.

[@seaofseeof]

​@@yetitheeduardo The director of the movie which is a separate entity from the book. And movies are the subject of this KZbin video It doesn't matter what creative decisions Crichton made for his books, as Spielberg made his own decisions specific for his works. Spielberg said, literally, that he was trying to display actual dinosaurs. Not monsters. The frog DNA's purprose was to show that dinosaurs could breed, in the context of the film, which was supposed to tie into Malcolm's claim that 'life finds a way', which he responded with in a debate with Dr. Wu, because he took issue with Wu's arrogance in thinking he could "control nature". THAT is the role of the frog DNA in the film. It ties into the theme. That's it. But to the movie audience, these animals were always supposed to be dinosaurs with some creative embelishments, as you do in movies. You can claim that you know Spielberg's intent better than he does, but either way, his goal was to create accurate dinosaurs. Not monsters. And the dinosaurs in the original Jurassic Park were quite revolutionary in how accurate they were in comparison to past portrayals. They may not have aged well in almost 30 years, but all things considered, they were pretty much amazing seeing as T.rex, prior to this film, was still a lumbering tripod in minds of most people.

when they bring out the velociraptor video I'm surprised he didn't rage and point out the size because velociraptor ARE THE SIZE OF A LARGE TURKEY

[@mrsnake6562]

He probably has seen this too often and so many people know about it that there isn't a point bringing it up. And I'm pretty sure the size was based on an unclassified dromaeosaurid (now assigned to the genus Utahraptor), with the general body plan based on Deinonychus (Which was originally classified as a species of Velociraptor) with the name of Velociraptor since it sounded cooler than Deinonychus. Even with all of this aside, the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park are actually supposed to be that size as both Nublarensis and Sornaensis are both Fictitious species of Velociraptor

[@mrsnake6562]

@@bryanfetrow6371 Technically they didn't lie because they are their own species of Velociraptor and that Deinonychus was assigned to Velociraptor, and it would have been difficult to rename the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park to Deinonychus when they're more recognisable as Velociraptor, as well as the name being easier to remember, even after the two species of velociraptor became two separate genera (V. antirrhopus to Deinonychus). And as I said, they'd still be classified as Velociraptor as their Genus name is still Velociraptor whilst their species name changes depending on if they're a Nublar or Sorna raptor in comparison to the two real life species mongoliensis and osmolskae

An example would be for the Parasaurolophus. In actuality, Parasaurolophus as a Genus has 3 distinct species (possibly four if counting Charonosaurus), those being P. walkeri, P. tubicen, P. cyrtocristatus and P. jiayensis. The species that appears in game is Parasaurolophus amphibius, not one of the real world species.

what people forget everytime someone says the depiction of dinosaurs from jurassic park is wrong forget that they used Frog DNA to fill the gaps in the dinosaurs DNA strands, which is the reason they look more like evolved frogs than feathery beasts of what dinosaur experts feel would be more plausible.

[@horvathbenedek3596]

He completely forgot to mention one of the most crucial discoveries in depiction of dinosaurs - bipedal dinosaurs had supinated hands, for the most part. This is clearly wrong both with the velociraptors, and the gallimimus horde. Additionally, the carnotaurus is WAAAAAY too robustly built. They were sprinters, it makes no sense to give them massive, columb-sized legs.

[@DINO_X65]

the legs were fine, it is just the head that is built wrong, and the tail could be a bit thicker, but the legs would have needed to be powerhouses, that said, it wouldn't have been able to turn as well while running, and the tail is a bit too flexible in the movies, but for the most part the carnotaurus is good, but i haven't looked at carnotaurus studies in a while, so i might have outdated information

[@BiryuTheFox]

@@DINO_X65 The tail needed to be thicker too, Carnotaurus had almost an exaggerated amount of muscle on the bottom of the tail to give it incredible acceleration. They also didn't have the cool spiky scutes (which is tragic but what can you do), and his face was a little long but otherwise, yeah, he's a good big runny boy. Mesozoic Sports Car Dino.

He also said the JP Gallimimus where too large but if anything too small. Gallimimus were good sized animals 20 feet long and over 6 feet tall at the hip. Of course like all other Ornithomimids they would have been covered in feathers with the largest feathers on the arms. All the theropod dinosaurs in the JP/JW movies have non supinated hands. Another pet peeve of mine I wish they would fix of I would have a list a mile long for them to fix lol 😆

Dimetrodon isn't a dinosaur, but it's often confused as one. To be a dinosaur, an animal has to belong to a specific family of dinosaurs. But dimetrodon is actually a synapsid and is related to modern day mammals.
