Omg why is it that NO ELEVATOR ever works in Xenoblade?! F*** this malfunctional city!!
I've been interested in vertebrate paleontology (dinosaur paleontology in particular) for most of my life so I do love where this conversation has gone. Supposedly, the 'raptors' (Dromaeosauridae) had a coat of proto-feathers which of course isn't expressed in the toys.
That said, I'm a sucker for anything dinosaur-related so I'd get them if I saw them.
Yeah, though tbh Jurassic Park is less about prehistoric accuracy and more about cool creature design, which I actually 100% advocate.
This isn't actually directed at you, but it's something a lot of people do, you know? Like, they complain a lot about the JP and JW dinosaurs not having feathers. And it's super annoying and silly!
First off, it was discovered well after JP was released that dinosaurs
probably had feathers, and by then the super emblematic dinosaurs that actually friggin marked a whole generation had already been designed. Jurassic Park literally changed the way people viewed dinosaurs forever, yes, but it's also a commercial franchise, so it would be a terrible idea to change the dinosaur design drastically. They tried to be paleonthologically accurate on JP3 with the mildly feathery raptors but honestly they still look the same hahaha.
Also, they're genetically engineered. They can't look like what we think real dinosaurs looked like >: (
Sorry I quoted you for this :'D
