>>5120805>docu-series about mass extinctions>relegates half of the mass extinctions to just the first two episodeswhat the hell are they thinking?when will paleozoic chads get one fucking doc that gives us the respect we deserve?
>>5120877I mean we got this earlier this year,https://www.pbs.org/video/mammal-origins-mqp9iu/More Paleozoic is good in general and Demitrodon gets front billing.
Some webms of the Paleozoic stuff from the trailer
>>5120962>>5120963>>5120965>>5120967>>5120968you need to learn how to better use ffmpeg. why would you even waste time posting these?
you missed the glowing orthocones and the dicynodon egg scenes. i also saw a teaser image with sacabampaspis online>>5120968>>5120962>>5120965there's something about these gorgonopsids that i don't like. maybe it's the skin? the colour? or that they look a bit too muscles/mammalian
>>5120970I also didn't do the Scutosaurus' near the start since it gave me errors for some reason.
>>5120808Why does the Spino's head look so fucked up?
>>5122451Dimetrodon.
>>5122742Even documentary posters are getting marvelfied/star warsfied
>yet another paleo-docu focused on extinctions>yet another paleo-docu focused on depicting prehistory as overwhelmingly dangerous>after The Dinosaurs showed plateosaurus and stegosaurus getting wildfire'd and thorn-forested to extinctionno thanks, well and truly exhausted of that subject
>>5122742Still a better poster compared to the old one
New behind the scene footage releasedhttps://x.com/raftingzalmoxes/status/2053390744849875378
For anyone wondering, the episodes are all stand-alone and aren't in chronological order. So far the episodes will focus on the following:>First episode will be the Great Dying>Second is the Carnian Pluvial event>Third is the K-PG extinction>Fourth will be the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event>Fifth will be about the Carboniferous>Sixth will be the end of the Late Ordovician>Seventh hasn't been elaborated but title suggests the formation of Pangaea>Last two will most likely be the Pliocene/Pleistocene/Holocene focused episodes.
>>5125117Stand-alone is good. More like the original Walking with Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Beasts.Not being chronological is a bit confusing though.
new spino patch just dropped
>>5127805Does that imply it also dwelled in salt water?
>>5127870Yes and most of the locations where its fossils were found would’ve been coastal environments back then. from crocodile like pressure sensors on its snout, salt glands showing that it ingested a lot of salt water, a webbed footprint from a mysterious relative showing that Spinosaurids were specializing in water foraging for a long time, the long interlocking conical teeth that are adaptations for quick side to side snapping, all of these are pretty damning evidence that Spinosaurus was far more than a mere wading fisher but a marine adapted animal. all the more reason to believe that the people who said Spinosaurus couldn’t swim or dive are full of shit because according to their criteria Marine Iguanas wouldn’t be able to either because they are too buoyant.
New trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtsCG59IT5s
>>5129089rolling for next spinosaurus discovery to be evidence that it could close its throat similar to crocodiles, dolphins, seals, and penguins. would also finally solve a current discrepancy with lipless spinosaurus being unable to seal off its oral cavity from the air, crocodiles get around this by closing their throats so maybe spinosaurus did the same thing.
>>5129856jesus that spino is even uglier in 3d, fuck Gabriel.
>>5129880>>5130058Someone's in denial>Made by Impossible Pictures; the same guys who did the original Walking With Dinosaurs
>>5132042You realize the same people can be in the same company for 30+ years, right?
>>5129089>swimming spino is realit feels so good brehs
On in 1 hour boys
>>5134047I liked it. Positives are the effects and pacing. Negatives are the narration, moments aimed at a younger audience, and animals that were almost certainly endothermic moving like they were exothermic.Also it was very nostalgic to see them reuse the filming location of Cruel Sea at the end of the episode.
How would you feel if you died to this goofy looking fuck?
>>5122451>>5122508This one
i'm gonna be honest bros, i got dinosaur revolution vibes from the first episode.
>>5134914The scutosaurus stampede scene was cringeworthy
This shot reminded me most of Chased by Dinosaurs/Walking With for some reason.

New episode tonight at 8PMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbNILcxoS8M
>>5134650I'd probably feel panic and pain, maybe fear and confusion.
It actually makes me really happy to see a Mesozoic mammal get some focus, even if it's only in the last segment.Honestly I've sorta preferred to ending segments post-extinction to the main segments in both of these episodes so far. They feel more focused and less meandering. Not to say I didn't enjoy various scenes of the main segments, but that's the problem; they're long segments of not much going on and pre-commercial repeat footage with the good stuff in between, while the ending segments are, as mentioned, more focused and only have one commercial break.
the cg in the latest episode looked pretty weird...
>>5136574Depends on the section.I thought the stuff in the rain looked very convincing.
>>5136574>>5136583Particularly, the brief shot at 2:26 is great. Looks almost like a practical effect.https://youtu.be/kNwfAA_Xvwg?t=146I also like how you can see the rain splash off their skin upon impact.
>>5129089Everyday we stray closer to Spinofaarus.
EPISODE 3 PREMIERING RIGHT NOW BOYS
"Weighing as much as three polar bears"American documentary moment
What the fuck? Are they playing the first 8 minutes of the episode over again???
>Recycled two different scenes from two different areas for one sceneMan...
>British documentary>Here, in the jungles of Bhata-Tuthu, the praying mantis is in search of its prey.>3 minutes of very clean and uninterrupted footage of the praying mantis following a spider>American documentary>Guitar riffs playing in the background>YOU PROBABLY WOULDNT WANT ONE OF THESE KILLERS IN YOUR BACK YARD>Rapid jump cuts of the praying mantis>THE PRAYING MANTIS MIGHT LOOK LIKE A BUG IN CHURCH, BUT THIS NASTY MOTHER-SUCKER IS NOT TO BE MESSED WITH>More flashy jump cuts>THIS LITTLE SPIDER DOESNT KNOW WHATS WAITING FOR HIM, THE FURY OF THE MANTIS IS NOT TO BE UNDERESTIMATED>More flashy jump cuts>The mantis strikes>Strange animal growling and screeching noises are dubbed in as it attacks because silent footage is too boring for americans>Slow mo replay of the attack in black and white>AND ITS OVER IN A FLASH>THAT LITTLE SPIDER>SHOULD'VE PRAYED>TO THE MANTIS>Starwipe to next clip
>>5138904Tim Haines is British.
>>5138905NTA but it's airing on NBC, which is an American channel
>>5138904BBC loves using OBNOXIOUS foley for their docs. It's especially noticeable in their insect ones all of which are filmed on prepared soundstages
>>5135857Same energy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b18Rwdi0Huw
I'd give money to see this re-edited and re-narrated by Kenneth Branagh with the quips removed.There are many shots that remind me of the original Walking With series, but they're sandwiched between bad cuts and quips.
>1000 foot mega-tsunami happens>mama spinosaurus has a broken arm and scars but is still alive>mama brachauchenius eats utter shit and dies
Wow, right, so, they used the same fucking shot four times in the same scene when Portunatasaurus ambushes Icthyornis.There's one other shot reused three times, and two other shots they reuse twice each.The whole sequence consists of five original shots reused and remixed to make 12 cuts. Meaning over half the cuts are just the same animation/shot reused, sometimes flipped either vertically or horizontally and/or cropped.Thing is, the effects for three of the fight shots/animations look REALLY good. It's a shame the editing is so shite. I'd LOVE to see the full, uncropped versions, because sadly the cropped versions are typically the longer cuts.
>>5140065Apparently there is an uncut version coming but I've heard conflicting sources about it>One source says it'll be released everywhere sometime after the full series is out>Another said that it'll only be released in China for some fucking reason
>>5140073I wonder if NBC is to blame for the butchery.
Actually if there's one thing Prehistoric Planet did better, unironically, it would be it at least wasn't afraid of having rampant baby animal death (at least before the Ice Age season). Like, am I expected to believe that the Brachauchenius baby somehow survived the same storm that utterly fucked up the mother?
>>5140663While the recent episode was silly, we did get a baby Ischigualastia getting crushed to death within the first 5 minutes of episode 2,https://youtu.be/kNwfAA_Xvwg?t=137
Is it worth watching? This looks too much like Prehistoric Planet.
Carboniferous episode airing now.Showing a sauropsid protecting it's already hatched offspring. Even most modern reptiles don't do that..
What was the point of airing them out of chronological order? Did they think people wouldn't finish it if they didn't see dinosaurs early on?
>>5141574Probably NBC's doing.Also, the highest highs of this episode honestly amount to the highest highs of this series thus far. There is stupid shit (Dendromaia protecting it's young, Arthropleura literally eating shit, and close up of Cotylorhynchus' stomach making SCHLORP GLORP vore noises), but it has some of the best effects and most convincing animation of the series outside of those things.
>>5140663Well anon? Thoughts after this episode?
>>5141577>>5141571If it's Dendromaia, then wouldn't it be right since it actually preserved evidence of possible parental care?
>>5141582Oh wow alright, I stand corrected.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-019-1030-z
Dimetrodons skull looks like a lion but artists never recreate it with a lion like head.
>orthacanthus big screen debut>gets stuck in a branch and dies
Just watched ep 1. Lion king ass rip off
>>5120967>fards n shidds himself to death
>it's time period, and thing is about to happen!>it's gonna happen soon, get ready for it...>oh shiiiiit...>COMMERCIAL BREAK>it's time period, and thing is about to happen!>it's gonna happen soon, get ready for it...>oh shiiiiit...>it's gonna happen...ok it happened!The pacing of a show being focused entirely around commercials and people dropping in and out mid episode is fucking ridiculous in the streaming era
Wait a minute, why the fuck did they choose Eryops as the "doomed Carboniferous amphibian" when it MADE IT to the Permian? Actually, most of the cast made it at least the early Permian. Only Meganeura and Dendromaia didn't.
>>5141866What charismatic animal species actually went extinct as a direct result of the Carboniferous rainforest collapse?
>>5141814The commercial breaks are ruining it for me.>ten minutes and then an ad>the show repeats everything that happened before the ad break for several minutesI HATE AMERICAI HATE AMERICAI HATE AMERICA
>>5141578Conflicted. The moments were they DO actually have a baby/babies not make it just makes the moments where a baby really, really shouldn't survive but still do that much more nonsensical because it's not like they're afraid of it
>>5142391they got to pay the bills. usa isnt some communist shit hole like wherever you are from
