Turns out, if paleotrannies spend decades drawing birds with mouths and tails, retards will think dinosaurs when they see birds.

>chinktroons can't even tell if Megaraptora are basal coelurosaurs, basal carcharodontosaurs or SISTER TO FREAKING EUTYRANNOSAURS
>they cannot tell if "compsognathids" are basal "coelurosaurs" or juvenile carnosaurs
>still no explanation about how a pretty confident therizinosaur have been found from freaking Hettangian strata
>Carnosauria in the nearly OG wider sense is pretty much proven by now

Nearly half century of maoist revisionist propaganda crumbling before our very eyes!

dinosaurs were just like the real animals of today, not movie monsters

they aren’t all going to be scary because real animals aren’t. even polar bears and crocodiles aren’t extremely terrifying despite their actual behavior. sharks just look dopey and they are mindless killing machines.

the window of scariness shifted a long time ago when humans killed off, learned to avoid, or left behind most of the shitty animals and now none of them come close to the terror of hearing "whatup yboi" *plasticky click* or "FEDERAL POLICE"

To get an American to admit dinosaurs existed and are not a hoax made by the devil means you're already talking to the intellectual 1%.
Asking the American to also see dinosaurs as real animals may be asking for too much.
>>
>>5055990
The greatest tragedy of growing up is realizing dinos will never be real again
Close second is realizing they will never be real so that featherfags and jurassic dorks can finally stfu and enjoy Dino but he Real

Yeah he's wrong. Plenty of Americans believe that dinosaurs existed and that Noah took them aboard the ark.

So spiders aren't scary?
There's only like one or two species of spider that could possibly kill a health adult.

>>5060838
>Megaraptora being mysterious
I don't see a problem with this.
They're a very strange group that have a pretty generic set of traits from the shoulders up. Combine that with less than stellar preservation.
I think that they're at least probably closely related to actual maniraptor dinosaurs, because they share similar heightened bone pneumacity. So grouping them should have that association in mind.

It doesn't matter if it's "scary" or "cool" - we're not doing creature design here.
