I think it's important to point out that, in the original post this came from, this wasn't so much a serious Deinonychus attempt as it was to try and make Frontier's mess of a Deinonychus more appealing.

That's from Jurassic World Evolution. The reason they made it so fruity looking is because their in-game "Velociraptor" is actually based on Deinonychus, but they decided to actually add Deinonychus for some unexplained reason, but they wanted it to look different from the raptors, so they did...that.

>"Brontosaurus had neck horns" is totally made up speculative bullshit
There's some genuine evidence behind the idea of apatosaur necks being weaponized. Not necessarily spikes, but their cervical vertebrae certainly stand out among sauropods.

Apatosaurine necks were extremely robust, and the bottom of the cervicals have extensions of bone that serve some purpose. Given the fact that sauropod necks are optimally built to free up weight, it says something that apatosaurines evolved a much more robust neck vertebrae than contemporaries, AND even more bone just jutting out at the bottom on top of that. It would make sense if they had spikes on their skin if they were indeed weaponized.

The 2015 paper on it has never been peer-reviewed however, and if apatosaurines had these spikes, they would not have been ossified since the only record of ossified 'armor' is in titanosaurs.

Apatosaurine necks (figure A) are nothing like the necks of their fellow diplodocid sauropod necks (figure B).

Since diplodocus' neck was probably fine for musculature and ligaments, and lacked ventral bony processes like apatosaurines. Then apatosaurine processes were important enough for them to evolve a more expensive neck.

They're precisely like them, simply more robust. What the fuck is this nu-bullshit in pop paleontology of special pleading about literally everything? Just take a fucking chill pill and except that these really are actual real animals. They have phylogenies and normal fucking anatomy. They don't have dicks hanging off their faces or jugular horns or wild ass bullshit like that. Every scar on every bone makes anatomical sense. Sorry, All Yesterdays is a fiction book.

It’s a reference to the first Jurassic Park novel where the chewed up body of a compsognathus found in the mainland is being examined by a specialist in a university and be thinks it may be the body of a basilisk lizard. Hence why the deinonychus has the basilisk head crest and tail fan.

Does anyone else prefer these 80s-90s paleoart to modern ones? I don't know how to succintly put into words why I feel that way, but those old paleoart pieces hit that sweet spot where they make the mesozoic era creatures look like these exotic giants we can only fantasize about while also not making them out to be generic movie monsters. Modern paleoart on the other hand feels too "fuzzy" to me. Like, there just isn't that exoticness to it, like they try their hardest to make T Rex seem as generic as a cow.

Phil Wilson is the closest modern equivalent to the kind of art I like (pic related) to give you an idea about what I'm talking about.

There's an entire community online of autistic manchildren and actual minors that will make this DeviantArt/Sonichu-esque type of autistic crossover art. If you look up Cenozoic ecosystems on Google, ie "Pleistocene Africa," you'll find this shirtless autist that photoshopped himself in hunched over shirtless or drawn in crawling on all fours with his skin covered in stripes. I stumbled across an autist on DeviantArt that had a whole series of a screencap of the girls from Totally Spies looking at stock photographs of random animals. Animals, especially dinosaurs, are always going to attract a bunch of children and autists, unless they're specifically barred from entry somehow, which results in this Origami Kingdom type of art always eventually creeping its way in.

criminally overlooked group of reptiles.

I can't understand why the shitty Jurassic World movies insist on whalifying their mosasaurs when these guys exist.

Tbh atrociraptors are probably the best-looking scaly raptors in JWE2, followed by the Lost World's tiger-striped raptors.

Nowadays you either have the Jurassic World pig dogshit of "every single reptile that has ever lived was either grey and brown or a really muted lifeless green" or the twitter homosexual trend of "surely a giant ambush predator had the same colour scheme of a small parrot or a mantis shrimp, i'll have you know that i'm an expert on animals as i have graduated from reddit university"
Speculation is good but only when it's within the realms of common sense and actual knowledge about whatever the fuck you're talking about which these types obviously lack

Their retarded boxy heads make them look like toys and i'm pretty sure they were designed with being easy to manufacture as such in mind, the JW movies genuinely do not have even a single decent design outside of the T-rex from the last one which feels like their way of apologizing for how fucking bad it looked in the previous post JP trilogy

I like Rebirth's T Rex. If you gave it lips and more front facing eyes it could pass for a paleoaccurate t rex

It's pretty much the only good design in the movie

I think a big part of it is simply that the best old palaeoartists (the ones whose work gets remembered) were simply very good at drawing and painting, and put a lot of effort into their work. For every Charles Knight or Wayne Barlowe, there were dozens of inept hacks, but they are conveniently forgotten. Now we get to see out generations hacks (including those who never even get paid for their work and just post on the internet), and there aren't really any truly great illustrators working in the field at the moment, so everything looks kind of shitty.

If these fuckers had been wiped out when we had the chance we wouldn't be dealing with the shit we are now.

Private collections are the insurance policy against museums virtue-signalling and sending stuff back to Shitistan where they get demolished as the work of Iblis, lost in the bi-annual military coup, or used as building materials by inbred dung-farmers.

While this would be true in theory, in practice every fossil that goes into a private collection vanishes immediately so you might as well just demolish them as soon as you sell them. Almost zero fossils from private collections have ever been examined by actual scientists. They do not contribute to the study of paleontology in any way. They actively detract from it and the practice of private collectors should be absolutely globally illegalized. It would also destroy the chinese dragon bone trade overnight and put a stop to all the hoaxes and frauds coming out of that country. Hopefully out of South America too and it will put a stop to all the westerners that are trying to do it now also maybe.

The problem is that the shittiness has been mainstreamed as "cool" as a cover for the competency crisis the world is now experiencing due to 70 years of neoliberal bullshit.

Hi, THE schizo here. This: >>5021479 is my post, actually. So now you're just seething to seethe. I wonder how within two posts you're going to make it so actually now that post is also wrong somehow even though you just agreed with it.
