turn the wrists in, add a bit of flesh and some lips to the face and some horns and it's basically the same

For the time it was good.
But
>a shrink-wrapped skull
>lack of lips
>the arms are completely wrong, dinosaurs couldn't twist their wrists downward like that
>in the old trilogy tyrannosaurus was way bulkier than it is in the world movies but it's still too thin here
>tyrannosaurus had extended brow bones
>should have slight feathering the same way humans have hairs on our arms but not a whole fur coat

Honestly, the oiginal design (OP pic) isn't even that bad. Feathers are unconfirmed and lips are still speculative. The only real flaws are that its skin is just too close to the bone and its wrists have an odd angle. Its length and height are a bit above average but not unrealistic either.

No they aren't. The lack of lips should be considered speculative.
They didn't live in water like crocodilians, their teeth would be constantly dry.
Their jaw bones also wouldn't have allowed for a fully closed position so to keep it's mouth closed it would have needed lips with their jaws being slightly open behind them
Try to name a non crocodilian reptile with exposed teeth.

Tb h Jurassic Park Rex does have lips. It's just that its teeth are long enough to poke out from underneath them.

It lacks muscle and the shape of the skull is pretty wonky. But other than that it's pretty good. Gets the idea of the animal really well

Actually the original animatronic was 40 feet long, which is average for a T. rex. The animatronics in the next 2 movies were only 37 feet long, making them below average. It was JW that started exaggerating the size

"the teeth would be dry" is a retarded argument. You should use the little holes above the teeth instead. Which are more similar to that of lizards instead of crocodiles. I prefer to use this to prove lips on dinosaurs since it is direct fossil evidence

You pretend like what you quoted is the only thing I said and it on its own is a strong argument already because it inhibits the physiological function of the teeth outside of aquatic life.

What's weird about jurassic park in general is Michael Crichton (the guy who wrote the book) was really open to the idea of dinosaurs having feathers in the second book he described a baby trex as having downy neck feathers like a vulture. He was also really familiar with paleontology and the general discourse that was going on in it as well as being a critic of the direction the science was heading in at the time. Dude blows my mind and fucks off from medicine to be an entertainer.

It really piss me off though is the whole thing was a spectulation, a fucking hypothesis, with zero evidance, but they just fucking ran with it, and all of a sudden dinosaurs became dinoaviculatus
Fucking literal chickens , and with zero evidance at that
And then they say “nah ah, no agendas”
You know what it remind me of? How they made “cheddar man” as dark as possible based on absolutely no reasoning
Or how they pushed “Muslim Vikings” based on a piece of clothe that if you looked at in a funny angle and with lots of imagination, can resemble word “allah”
Based on that, Muslim Vikings was a thing for like a year or two. And you know why I said it was agenda? Cause the Muslim Viking “discovery” happened right in Sweden in middle of Syrian refugee crisis.
I wonder what event was going on when they started to deliberately chickenify dinosaurs

Wait, people actually thought the top image was accurate? Thought that was just a meme image. Even back when I thought T Rex was covered in feathers, I thought it looked more like the second pic or pic related.

Top one just looks like an giant vulture lmao.

Primitive dinosaurian feathers do not fossilize well. They're not really feathers as you know them, they're fine hairs that are very sparsely distributed.
>okay, so zero feathers on any discovered skin imprints...
The skin imprints are coin sized and again, feathers don't really fossilize well. It's pretty uncommon to be able to tell them from literally any other source of fibres in the environment. Even really well preserved feathers have retards tagging along saying "THIS IS PALM BARK!" (despite having a completely different structure).

Given the unlikelihood of feathers independently arising a gajillion times most dinosaurs had at least some little hairs and the scale to feather genetic pipeline wasn't so far along that reversions were unlikely.

Ok so which is the correct scientific approach?
A) we didn’t find evidance for feather (or hair) but have for scales, so let’s just have them presented with scales only
Or
B) there was no hair or feather evidance, but I FEEL and think they must had it, so I just gonna put them in all the depictions cause reasons
One is science and the other is belief

You keep talking about science but you know nothing of phylogeny, or phylogenetic bracketing.

T. Rex is closely related to dinosaurs with feathers.
T. Rex is descended from clades that contained feathers.
Either complex integument randomly arises, out of thin air, or t. rex has some residual, vestigial feather remnants poking out of some part of its body and the coin sized patches simply lacked them because micro-fuzz fossilizes like ass.

Now, shouldn't you be misrepresenting some data?
Is it time for the infographic where you pretend the coin sized skin impressions from 5 different species actually came from vast swaths of one individual, as if we have 80% of a T. Rex hide, and it's not just that different species had sparse fuzz in different locations?

Reminder:
T. Rex is closely related to dinosaurs with feathers.

Honestly, I'm less worked up over the idea of T Rex having some barely noticeable hair strands on its skin than the way its height is portrayed. They're always portrayed in a way where it feels like you can reach its chin. Even in museums, they are always mounted in a crouching position.

Then again, this might just be my Jurassic Park addled brain coping.
