[@mnomadvfx]

I wasn't taken with Prehistoric Planet at all. Don't get me wrong. The VFX were great, and normally I love David Attenborough, but for me his narration actually spoils an otherwise great series and probably Apple's only good series so far. The old BBC Walking With Dinosaurs was narrated by Kenneth Branagh and his narration just added an edge I think any prehistoric or dinosaur documentary needs. David bless him for all his charm is just long past the edgey time of his life.

[@StigPony]

Stephen Fry is not just an actor and comedian, he's well known in the UK for being incredibly intelligent and knowledgable, hosting a celebrity panel show called QI for several years. This makes it all even worse, because it's so obvious that he's putting in as much effort as the producers did, which stretches the very definition of effort to breaking point! I can only assume he has lost a bet, made a promise to an idiot, or spent all his QI money. Well done for managing to watch all four episodes. I couldn't even last four minutes

[@alharron2145]

Exactly! He hosted an entire series around correcting misconceptions & challenging mistaken ideas, to do this is almost a betrayal of everything that made QI great.

[@DarknessIsThePath]

He haa gone full conservative retard now that is why, just like the left gone woke cult retarded.

[@LoudmouthReviews]

Stephen Fry actually narrated a good dinosaur documentary before. He narrated 2011's March of the Dinosaurs a nice little movie which while imperfect and suffering from budget constraints was a thousand times better than this program in every possible way.

[@eewweeppkk]

@@alharron2145 QI is very entertaining and it has plenty of neat facts, but it frequently gets things wrong as well. QI values interesting over accuracy. Though I would also say that Stephen Fry's debates and interviews with religious figures to be more evidence of his intelligence or knowledge than his hosting of a panel show featuring comedians anyway.

But for some reason the people in charge of the models decided “hey why not steal the model of this titanosaur which is visibly supposed to be not a real life sauropod or anything” like why? Just, why??

[@ChristianDinosaur1616]

You know what? This is so bad I decided to make an ai generated script and compare it to this one, which one survived better in both the fact and writing check? Opening Shot: A sweeping view of the rugged, rocky terrain of Jurassic North America. Narrator: "Welcome to Jurassic North America, a land that time forgot. Home to some of the most ferocious and majestic creatures to ever walk the Earth. Today, we'll be exploring two of the most iconic dinosaurs of this era - the Allosaurus and Diplodocus - with the help of British comedian, Stephen Fry." Cut to Stephen Fry walking along a dirt road in the midst of towering rock formations. He turns to the camera. Stephen Fry: "Goodness gracious! What a landscape! I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs and to be able to come here and see them in their natural habitat is a dream come true." Narrator: "Stephen has come to Jurassic North America to learn about two of the most iconic dinosaurs from this era - the Allosaurus and Diplodocus. He'll be joined by a team of specialists who will help him understand these incredible creatures." Cut to Stephen Fry meeting the specialists - a paleontologist and a biologist. Stephen Fry: "I'm so excited to be here with you both. Could you tell me a bit about the Allosaurus and Diplodocus?" Paleontologist: "Certainly, Stephen. The Allosaurus was a large carnivorous dinosaur that roamed North America during the late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago. It was one of the top predators of its time, and had a fearsome set of teeth and jaws." Biologist: "And the Diplodocus was a herbivorous dinosaur, one of the largest of its kind. It had a long neck and tail, and was able to reach vegetation that other herbivores couldn't. It's estimated to have weighed up to 15 tonnes." Stephen Fry: "15 tonnes! That's incredible. I can't wait to see them in action." Narrator: "Stephen and the team head out into the wilderness to see these dinosaurs in their natural habitat." Cut to footage of Allosaurus and Diplodocus skeletons in a museum. Narrator: "But before they can do that, they need to understand more about the anatomy and behavior of these creatures." Cut to the team examining fossils and other remains. Paleontologist: "This is a fossilized Allosaurus tooth. It's serrated, which means it was designed for cutting through flesh and bone." Biologist: "And here we have a Diplodocus vertebrae. The way it's structured suggests that it had a very flexible neck, which it would have used to reach vegetation." Stephen Fry: "Fascinating. But I'm ready to see them in the flesh!" Narrator: "The team sets out on a hike to find the dinosaurs. As they go, they encounter a variety of other Jurassic creatures, including stegosauruses and triceratops." Cut to footage of the team hiking and spotting various dinosaurs in the distance. Narrator: "Finally, they come across a herd of Diplodocus, munching on the leaves of a tall tree. They're enormous, towering over the team and casting long shadows." Cut to footage of Diplodocus in the wild. Narrator: "The team observes their behavior, watching as they use their long necks to reach the highest branches." Cut to footage of Allosaurus in the wild. Narrator: "But the Diplodocus aren't the only creatures in the area. Suddenly, the team spots an Allosaurus in the distance, stalking through the rocks. Its powerful legs and sharp teeth are a reminder of the danger that these creatures posed." Stephen Fry: "Goodness gracious! That's a fearsome looking creature. What should we do?" Paleontologist: "Don't worry, Stephen. We're observing from a safe distance. The Allosaurus is a carnivore, and it's unlikely to attack a group of humans." Narrator: "As the team continues to observe the Allosaurus, they notice something strange - it seems to be limping." Biologist: "It's possible that the Allosaurus has injured itself while hunting. That could be why it's alone and looking for food." Narrator: "The team decides to follow the Allosaurus and see if they can learn more about its behavior." Cut to footage of the team following the Allosaurus. Narrator: "As they trail the creature, they observe it hunting a small dinosaur. Its powerful jaws and sharp teeth make quick work of the prey." Cut to footage of the Allosaurus hunting. Narrator: "But as they continue to follow the Allosaurus, they come across something even more exciting - a group of juvenile Diplodocus, grazing in a meadow." Cut to footage of juvenile Diplodocus in the wild. Narrator: "The team observes as the young Diplodocus play and explore their environment. It's clear that they are learning and growing under the watchful eye of their parents." Stephen Fry: "It's amazing to see how these creatures lived and interacted with each other. It's like a completely different world." Narrator: "As the sun begins to set, the team makes their way back to camp. It's been an incredible day of discovery and adventure." Closing Shot: A panoramic view of the stunning Jurassic landscape, with the sun setting in the distance. Narrator: "Join us next time, as Stephen Fry continues his journey through the prehistoric world, exploring new species and uncovering the mysteries of the past."

[@PalaeoJoe87]

So I was in the first two episodes (Iguanodon etc) and consulted on some of the sequences for accuracy. I can tell you that none of us saw any footage until it was on the TV and in a finished state. As far as experts saying the wrong weights, sometimes we make mistakes, we're not all experts on every single taxon, and it's easy when you're on camera to slip up and say a wrong number, but yes I agree it should have been picked up in editing. Susie and the rest of us would never knowingly and deliberately give false information, it's what we actively try to avoid, we'd rather just say we don't know.

[@EvolutionSquare]

My condolences to you for being part of this /lh (I hope you were at least properly compensated). It sucks that apparently none of the experts were consulted later down the line, as this project clearly derailed and could have used some uhhh input. I definitely understand people misspeaking and experts not being an expert on everything, however, 15 tons for Allosaurus is SO far off, than even a casual dinosaur fan knows it to be wrong. It doesn't take an expert. Same for the Diplodocus. A slight slip of the tongue on the weight of one animal? Maaaybe. Two in a row? And so extremely? Ehhhh... I don't know what happened there. But it's a blunder worthy of being poked fun at. With this video being a roast, it probably is a bit meanspirited at times though.

[@ir0nleviathan577]

Never thought I’d feel like my intelligence was actively being insulted by a documentary, but here we are.

[@DinosaurEnthusiast66]

Loved the video, it gave a good laugh. Gonna share my thoughts on this. To start with, a part that bothers me a lot is the deck. Not the inaccurate information on the dinosaurs and experiments, although those are infuriating and nonsensical respectively, but the deck that appears and which the _Diplodocus_ has no problem with. And how were they able to build it in the first place without potentially attracting attention? It’s supposed to be the Late Jurassic but there’s only two dinosaurs that show up in this part from what I know and they don’t even notice Stephen. Instead of that, they could’ve made Stephen use a climbing equipment to be next or near enough to the _Diplodocus_ and still have a different perspective. In episode 5 of Prehistoric Park (The Bug House), Nigel travels to the Carboniferous Period and at one point, climbs a tree-like plant. The same thing could’ve been done as well here. Sure, it would’ve made it a bit more like Prehistoric Park but the concept of time travel with dinosaurs was already used (and in a much better execution), so it wouldn’t have mattered much if they “borrowed” a few more examples. And if you’re going to have Stephen say things so confidently but also make him surprised at the most obvious things, don’t have him confidently talk about a subject. Instead, make him express some doubt on what he says and the experts provide the information. Or perhaps make him the audience in a way, and have the experts deliver the information. This way, you won’t have much conflicting information between them and Stephen is saved from being utterly surprised _after_ the expert says something that he already stated before. One of the bigger hindrances was the fact that more unique/lesser-known dinosaurs weren’t included. We already know a lot about _Tyrannosaurus_ and I’m honestly starting to get tired of its appearances. Show us dinosaurs like _Guanlong, Eustreptospondylus, Shunosaurus, or Centrosaurus._ Another thing which was already covered, was the issue of the dinosaurs being completely oblivious to the presence of humans. In a documentary where Stephen Fry somehow traveled back in time, dinosaurs’ acknowledgment of humans were nonexistent. I know Sea Monsters and Chased by Dinosaurs had the same “issue” of having no explanation for time travel but these still worked because the real issue was already fixed: animals there acknowledged Nigel which was covered here. This probably could’ve happened the other way around like Stephen’s did but luckily didn’t. Also, just something to say, but I really like how the cameraman and the crew would actually interact with Nigel and the animals sometimes. Such as the _Protoceratops’_ nesting area and the _Velociraptor_ chase sections in Chased by Dinosaurs. Didn’t really need to be included but it helped with the immersion more. Anyway, got off track a little bit. What I was going to propose was to obviously have Stephen do things to not get detected, and have dinosaurs actually see him. In Prehistoric Park and Chased by Dinosaurs, Nigel would have to occasionally hide to avoid dangerous animals, which further helped tell the audience indirectly, “he needs to hide because if he won’t, he’ll get killed.” It felt like he _could_ get in danger even though these were CGI/puppets because the situations felt real enough to potentially get injured (and he would actually receive minor injuries a few times). In Dinosaur with Stephen Fry, they’re essentially telling us, “humans here are nonexistent to the dinosaurs”. Have Stephen out of sight of dinosaurs and hide. Another thing, but given the fact that dinosaurs here are human blind, make them do things. Allow them to walk around, eat food, anything. Don’t make them stand around and move their body. It’s just weird, even more so with Stephen and an expert next to it. Another thing that’s weird which is already covered is that they completely skipped over the Triassic. Honestly, you’d think with how much Pangaea is apparently mentioned, the time period where it existed for a section of its history would be included. But no, off to the Jurassic we go! And it’s not even the Early or Middle Jurassic. No, it’s the _Late_ Jurassic in a timeline where flowers and grass evolved early and didn’t have to go through the Cretaceous for that. And since this was seemingly supposed to be in chronological order, why leave the Triassic out of it in the first place? It’s when dinosaurs first appeared and it’s part of the Mesozoic Era. Pangaea only broke up 175 mya during the _Middle Jurassic_ anyway so this whole period could’ve been covered if they wanted to talk about Pangaea so much. Episode 1 could’ve been about the Triassic, episode 2 could’ve been about the Early/Middle Jurassic, episode 3 could’ve been about the Late Jurassic, and episode 4 could’ve been about the Early/Late Cretaceous. Even if this documentary was a massive disappointment, at least we still have better ones like Prehistoric Planet, the Walking With trilogy, Prehistoric Park and others starring Nigel Marven. Life on Our Planet 2023 is coming and Forgotten Bloodlines: Agate is raising funds which I am genuinely excited for since it covers something other than like, the Pleistocene which I’m kind of getting tired of. Same thing with the Cretaceous, the focused animals during these times are somewhat limited if I’m being honest. There’s a ton of dinosaurs to choose from for the Cretaceous Period but they sort of just focus on the Maastrichtian and dinosaurs like _T. rex._ Anyway, having Nigel as the narrator for Agate is great

Crazy how far you've come, I still remember when you had your jurassic world park with dinos named after youtube comments

[@herculesgarcia3628]

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS JUST FREAKING EPIC! - Yes, I had to use all caps, mind you. I'm on my lunch break at work, and what better way to spend it than having an awesome laugh thanks to this video LOL (PS. I almost choked, thanks Evo) lol. Thanks for this, definitely brightened up my day!! I honestly cannot believe the blatant misinformation this documentary projects lol.

[@EvolutionSquare]

ahahaha dw I allow all caps ;) Thanks so much for watching and I'm so so happy that you enjoyed the video! Enjoy your lunch

[@herculesgarcia3628]

@@EvolutionSquare do not worry, I did not choke 😂

[@ozanyoung2909]

Big fan of Dr Dave Hone, who appeared on this show. He didn't name it specifically but in his podcast, Terrible Lizards, he mentioned being involved in a project a few months before this came out and he... didn't sound optimistic about it.

[@historickingdom2023]

Not gonna lie, the way you delivered "PANGAEA" at 17:13 was so hilarious

[@user-ie9gr2up3v]

The fact that they literally stole the Stegosaurus and other dinosaur models from ARK Survival Evolved really shows that they don't give a shit.

[@morbidravenpages9695]

My grandad mentioned the allosaurus machine thing biting into a watermelon cuz I didn't watch it. But I was looking at him so weirdly because I was confused on how accurate that wouldn't be at all. So sorry you suffered Evo

[@rayray2131]

18:54 more Ark models. This time the titanosaurus

[@Tacobellcramps]

That is insane! 😂 wtf how did that get by without a lawsuit?

I had it on it the background (thankfully) but I turned it off when I saw the animated pterosaur running

[@witheredjr2887]

This feels like Jurassic fight club it’s anything but a documentary

[@TheOneAndOnlyAnt24]

I love how you taken a comedy approach with channel! Also as a Dinosaur nerd this is perhaps one of the most upsetting documentaries I have ever watched. Just stick to “Prehistoric Planet”

[@Th0ughtf0rce]

Watching this series after Prehistoric Planet felt like watching Carnosaur after Jurassic Park

[@BeanieFlare]

Sackboy’s Prehistoric moves looks a bit different than I remember.

[@dodoxasaurus6904]

I love how everyone was so was so hopeful, even when I told ya'll about the stolen assets you still didn't listen. Amazing

[@LoudmouthReviews]

I never expected another Prehistoric Planet out of this but I am really astonished at how bad it truly was

[@rlosable]

You should had alternate titles: "Cash Grab" with Stephen Fry "You're still gonna pay me for this, right?" With Stephen Fry "It pays the bills" with Stephen Fry "Some sh** about weird animals my nephew goes on about" with Stephen Fry "Well, still better than doing porn" with Stephen Fry

[@drakewelch3385]

I almost cheered with joy when you said Nigel Marven was god tier. One of my all time favorites since I was a child. So so happy others look at him the way I do. Nigel is GOATED

[@Empirehog]

That Allosaurus mouth movement, once seen cannot be unseen.

[@t.rexking441]

Ah yes, the documentary with The Ark Titanosaur

[@theredmeanie]

Whats up evo, another great vid, love it, keep up the great work, hope ur ok!

[@theredmeanie]

Most of the time the dinos ignore Fry, but that time where one tried to bite him? It's like the animators and the writers didnt work together

[@Suusleepy]

The IDEA of someone saying 30-40 TONNES!? Do you have any idea how much One Tonne is!? The difference between the size of a 30 Tonne animal and a 40 Tonne animal is ENORMOUS

[@robertjackson1813]

The only reason this was made and released is because it is basically a mock-buster . Something sensational like prehistoric planet is released on streaming services so that opens up a demand for new prehistory documentaries. The same thing happens with theatrical movies; the new dune movie came out and now there's a cheap knockoff called planet dune. Pacific rim's counterpart is Atlantic Godzilla vs. Kong was turn to monster vs.ape.

[@ShadowPhantomGaming]

Lol I can’t wait for prehistoric planet 2 maybe it will impress us rather than make us completely confused in every way like this show did

[@klaauc.]

I didnt watch the show and I cried. Love your humor

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

Hey, I didn't know we'd gone back in time to the 90's, neat! Also 3:06 That's the god damn Ark stegosaurus! LMAO 15:34 Not only that but I'm PRETTY sure this is a clip from an "Up from the depths" video.

[@rhyswood8257]

The diploducus sounded like someone letting off a massive burp at the dinner table lmao 😂

[@alharron2145]

Man, I really went to bat for it after the 1st episode. I thought "sure, it's a rough start, but give it a few eps, maybe it'll still work." What a bitter disappointment. Just as well we have an embarrassment of *amazing* palaeodocumentaries on the way to make the sting out.

[@cannonfodder9724]

You have been roasting this poor show for so long 😂

[@thedinodude]

Don't forget to add Steven fry when talking about dinosaur (with Stephen fry)

3:34 wtf I'm watching LOL

[@Phillyprodzofficial]

I’ve been waiting for this one

[@EvolutionSquare]

thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoy it ; )

[@combatkiwi8160]

I hope prehistoric plant season tow doesn’t go down the same path that dinosaur did

[@EvolutionSquare]

I don't think they will ;) The first season already shows their level of quality

[@generalpierogi7781]

prehistoric plant 😂😂😂

[@Frobilen]

They've got Hollywood money backing them up, i honestly doubt it would plummet down to this level

[@MsMoonDragoon]

hold on: that stegosaurus is arks stego model pre-rework.

[@left4newbz]

"Entertainment value there is to ripping it to shreds" was my whole reason for getting hyped lol.

[@matthewsproles46]

When do you think the next dlc will get announced

[@EvolutionSquare]

at this point I really have no idea! All I can say is: hopefully soon!

[@Lord_Lythronax]

Is it possible that they purposely made It bad because they knew that people would talk about, making more people pay to see it just to laugh at it for how bad it is?

[@EvolutionSquare]

No I really don't think so haha "all press is good press" holds no water in this day and age. Also: they are not gaining anything from the coverage financially.

[@MrDebkumarbasu]

Poodle at a dog show. The Utah Raptor: wow I didn't think I'd get away unrecognized!

[@annadachowska24]

David Hone told on his podcast that he was literally ignored like "no, we already animated that, can't fix it" (I'm not 100% sure he was saying about That Show, but seems likely

[@vit-t680]

I think that’s a “so bad it’s good” scenario

If you go into it with the mindset to just have fun with a hate watch, then yes haha I kinda had fun watching each episode looking for Shorts material

@@EvolutionSquare I feel like this show was supposed to be bad, some errors are just too obvious

You know... 7 year old me when I first watched Prehistoric Park, I illegitimately believed everything they showed(You know, "Look Pops! TIME TRAVEL") until my Sister, who I will never forgive, showed me the truth... But, genuinely If I saw this when I was 7, Either I would be Horrified beyond meaning, or Fallen asleep...
