These arent movie monsters, a major theme of the book and first film, so they should not be presented as such in terms of design, and should be rendered as one would render any modern species. Otherwise its just misinformation and a disservice to the science that allows to even know of these amazing animals in the first place. Great to see some more accuracy, but its brought down by such dramatic inaccuracy portrayed as a real look into the Cretaceous when its so far from it.

This prologue really irritates me tbh because it's such wasted potential. The animals look and behave much more realistically and accurately than anything we've seen before in this franchise. But none of that matters because they didn't care about putting animals in the proper place in time. They just smashed a load of random, popular creatures from different points in time and across the world together. They don't have the clone excuse anymore because this is supposed to be set in the Cretaceous, with the "true" dinosaurs that the modified clones were derived from. Colin Trevorrow even claimed that it was going to be accurate. But it isn't. They're actively misleading people about dinosaurs

Alterations to meet customer expectations, and in the novels, to make them more manageable in a park setting* The whole more exciting thing didnt occur until JW levels where they seemed to have 'run out' of real dinosaur dna and had taken up a more corporate mindset as opposed to Hammond's dream of it being closer to a 'nature preserve'

But most of what was shown in the prologue was accurate (he even stated that). The improvement to the T-Rex's arms and most notably the therapods having feathers is a clear indication they knew where to improve. The Giga fighting the T-Rex is obviously just a way to introduce the films antagonist (Giga) and to setup the two to fight again, most likely at the end of the film. The director is aware the two would've never met but artistic licensing is a great thing. If you search up the making of Jurassic Park (1993) you'll see that the animators had the Raptors hissing and their tongues flicking out like a reptile. Luckily they did actually have scientists/palaeontologists on set to address this matter and make them more bird like.

They already explained it. In the first Jurassic Park movie they addressed mixing in modern DNA, specifically frog DNA.

[@Jack-Schneider]

*Giganotosaurus Fun Fact:* Coria and Currie (2006) note the majority of possible adult specimens known are comparable in size to the Giganotosaurus carolinii holotype (MUCPv-Ch1)which suggested these individuals were around 12.4 meters in length and 8320 kg, although not with the same exact proportions, having taller and wider neural spines, a more elongate fibula (101 centimetres compared to 98.5 centimetres) but more slender (81-89% the width as in MUCPv-Ch1) and with a differently proportioned skull that was deeper relative to its length. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, these aren't the largest remains from the bonebed - a pubic shaft (MCF-PVPH-108.145) 10% larger than that of MUCPv-Ch1 suggests a maximum size of 13.6-13.7 meters long and up to 11100 kg. Some tibiae (MCF-PVPH-108.68-73) also suggest very large sizes of roughly 12.7-13.2 meters long and 8950-9880 kg. *Tyrannosaurus Rex Fun Fact:* The most complete and largest Tyrannosaurus specimen is Sue (FMNH PR 2081) which was 12 - 12.3m long and 8265 - 8700kg according to paleontologists Asier Larramendi and Scott Hartman. Another Tyrannosaurus specimen dubbed "Scotty" is reportedly a bit bigger than Sue (13m and 9 tons) but no measurements are published at the moment and recently suggests it may have been actually smaller. The Tyrannosaurus holotype CM 9380/AMNH 973 was 11.68m long and around 7 tons according to newer GDI by Larramendi, Paul 2020. *Spinosaurus Fun Fact:* Spinosaurus may have had the largest theropod among all known carnivorous dinosaurs, much heavier than known specimens of T. rex and similar in size to or somewhat heavier than known specimens of giant carcharodontosaurids like Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The latest estimates suggests a weight of more than 12860 kg and a length of 15.8 to 16 meters for the 1 possible adult specimen (NHMUK R-16421) that can be estimated based on overlap with other specimens. Some other specimens (MSNM v4047, NMC 41852) may suggest similar sizes to these when they can be estimated from overlap with other specimens according to Ibrahim, Maganuco etc. Other sources for references are Spinoinwonderland, Getawaytrike.

There wouldn’t have been a fight between these two, even if they somehow met. Rex was incredibly aggressive and fossils show marks from fights between them and other rex.

Game over before it began.

The rex still would have been like twice as heavy as the Gita anyway, so biteforce doesn't matter.

The largest Trexes found were close to 10 tons that's like 19k to 20k pounds and having a bite force to match as well.

T-Rex and giganotosaurus aren't even in the same lineage, they lived half a world apart and T-Rex is not only 30 million years younger it evolved through a separate line of therapods, one does not descend from the other. Yes they are both therapods, and so are sparrows, how much do you think a sparrow has in common with a T-Rex?

You're pulling assumptions out of your arse. There is nothing genetically stopping an animal or humans remaining almost the same for millions of years if conditions are right. Evolution isn't a destination that can be predicted or governed by time. A chicken is the closest living ancestor of a T-Rex and both are therapod dinosaurs.

To be fair this design still falls in what the paper states as plausible: feathers on top of the back and neck. And it's very sparse here, nothing impossible about it.
