I'll never forgive Spielberg for lying to us about the dilophosaurus.

He lied about Velociraptor too.

It was the wrong size too

wut lie did he tell?

The spitting cobra exists. A dinosaur could have developed something similar.

It's such a silly shitshow. An artist took a small Mongolian dinosaur and gave its name to a mid-sized American dinosaur, then Crichton used that second dinosaur and its incorrectly given name in his book, then Spielberg made them even bigger for the movie, which by complete coincidence made them similar in size to a third, different American dinosaur.

Especially if they spliced cobra DNA in somewhere. The book makes it clear they used more than frog juice.

It's not fair bros, dinosaurs get to go extinct but we have to continue surviving

>>212966539
The third American dinosaur also wasn't discovered until they began shooting the film.

Dinosaurs grew feathers and now get to shit on everyone and everything.

I'll never forgive Spielberg for lying to us about the second world war.

Unless you have photographic evidence of what a dilophosaurus looked like I’ll believe Spielberg

>>212966375
They were actually trying to portray an (at the time) paleoaccurate Deinonychus.

He just made it Utahraptor sized, and changed the name because Velociraptor was scarier.

Annoying, but not as egregious as just straight up inventing a whole ass new fantasy monster for the Dilo, which has almost nothing in common with its namesake.

Fans have been begging for years to establish that the Dilo's in the movies are more explicitly a hybrid/mutant and not full sized, and maybe even show a proper full sized Dilophosaurus, but they double down on the same old JP ones every time. Even in Rebirth, despite them committing to the new Spino's and having the JP3 Spino be a mutant. I guess anything shown in the first movie is just sacred and untouchable.

Hi Ivan

There's a skycaps box of Jurassic park pogs that show up on eBay sometimes worth $700 it's probably gone up now.

>but they had feathers!

>>212966579
The one in the movie is a juvenile

>>212968019
Or a midge.

>>212968019
That’s what people went with until they brought them back looking exactly the same in the Jurassic Worlds

To be fair, velociraptor is a cool name and they should swap the name to give it to a larger and cooler raptor

This sort of happened with the T-Rex.

In the early 2000's, discoveries about a wider variety of fossils belonging to the same species of therapod led to debate about what the Tyrannosaurus Rex as we know it should actually be called, especially when some of those fossils belonged to a named animal that predated the discovery of the T-Rex itself.

The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) determined that the name Tyrannosaurus Rex was too iconic to be changed from the animal everyone understands to be a T-Rex.

I don't think Velociraptor would ever be altered though, and it's relatively common knowledge that Veloci/Deinonychus/Utaraptor basically just have their names swapped for the sake of the movies at this point anyways. Velociraptors actual size is mentioned in just about every Dinosaur documentary ever made now.

I still don't get why nedry had sex with it

I got into a serious argument about this during a date. I told her velociraptors looked more like birds and that set her off. Haven't dated a Puerto Rican since.
