Pluto is a planet. A dwarf planet.

Next time you have KFC, just remember those things were dinosaurs some 65 million years ago.
Oh, and you were... I don't know, we don't have a clue what the human race looked like back then.

I would go on a murder rampage if they added feathers on T-Rex.
Velociraptors looked cool in JP3 but dont fuck with the Rex design
This is Hollywood T-Rex®. Respect it!!!

Exactly. How cool would that shit look?

It's still a planet, just Dwarf.
How do we know they won't be done justice if they had feathers in the movie? Dinosaurs looked stupid Pre-JP1. They can still be intimidating. All we have seen are pictures, nothing that really brought them to life like this movie could do.

At least Carnotaurus was definitely featherless - they found impressions of bumps on its skin.
Now, that's a real dinosaur. He knows what's up
Was there even evidence that T-Rex had feathers?

Judging by the differences between the first book and first movie, Spielberg/the screenwriters didn't have much respect for it, either.

I think it's still threatening as ever. Come on, you all knew something was missing when it was featherless.

You know by this metric the feathered side are furries right?

The people who think there should be feathers in this movie are probably the same people who say "Technically it should be called Cretaceous Park." *Push up glasses with index finger*

Seriously, especially if they delayed revealing they can fly. We think out heroes get away leaving the pack behind them.. then they start climbing, jumping and flying.
It would seriously be fucking incredible. And it would blow people away. Flying mini velociraptors. Terrifying.
This.
But I do wonder if it because a lot of feathered paleoart kinda sucks. Especially taxidermy pieces.
This is like a spit in the face.

Science is scary and probably wrong.
Jurrasic Park 1 was the only movie I saw. I did read all of the books. I have no problems skipping this movie too.
C'mon, after you watch 5 guys completly ripped to fucking bloody meat by gangs of giant chickens with razor sharp claws and teeth, you probably stop thinking it's so hilarious.

No, no you are not. This is not a documentary. You are trying to furry up fictional representations of Dinosaurs. You are furries if the other side are dragon pervs.

Yeah. Feathers on a Carnotaurus would look like nipples on a shark

Just come up with a narrative explanation as to why these dinosaurs don't have feathers. Whether it's the frog DNA or whatever.
Here's the scene:
Annoying nerdy kid: *snort*
Amazed park-visitor: What's so funny?
Annoying nerdy kid: There's no feathers.
Amazed park-visitor: Feathers? Since when do dinosaurs have feathers?
Helpful park ranger: Actually, the dinosaurs DID have feathers... but since we mixed their DNA with amphibians and other reptiles, we've been unable to replicate the feather-growing gene sequence.
DONE

This is such a ridiculous stance to take. Since when are people in the entertainment industry beholden to science or realism?

I dont even understand why scientific accuracy is so important to some fans of this franchise.
Ya'll do realize that actual velociraptors were like 3 feet tall, right?
And Dilophosaurus was 8-foot tall and didn't spit/have the frill.
And was the T-Rex's visual acuity really based on movement? Doubt that too!
Jurassic Park never ever ever was scientifically accurate.

There are a lot of excellent screenwriters in this thread.
I thought one of the goals of the first JP was to make the dinos as realistic as they could.
*Shrug* I'm prolly wrong.
Why not make them talk and give them guns since its not a documentary. Im not arguing for my own intrest i care more about people seeing dinosaur in the way they looked like.

You should read my fan fiction about The Star Trek / Star Wars crossover.

and then for closure, the annoying nerdy kid ends up getting eaten by a T-rex, which is met by cheers from the relieved audience that fun-ruining uber nerds didn't manage to ruin a fun hollywood movie.
I'm fine with it. Frog DNA and all that.

What John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters! Nothing more and nothing less." - Alan Grant

Why not have Abraham Lincoln hunt vampires? It's a fictional world, that they created. Their in-universe rules apply until they say they dont. I really cant be arsed about people using fucking Jurassic Park as an educational tool, thats inane beyond measure.

I would be happy even if they went this route:
Not really accurate, but badass and a step forward.
Yutyrannus, was.
While I love my Carnotaurus without feathers, and realize he was mostly if not entirely featherless there is no denying this is awesome looking:

I remember when Jurassic Park provided the most realistic depiction of dinosaurs in film/tv. Guess those days are gone.
dinosaurs = dragons
early primitive humans = orcs and elves and hobbits
alien technology = magic .
that shit happened yo. or some shit happened.
