How not so long ago, all dinosaur life restorations became grotesque because of retarded zoomers' desire to subvert things. But now they have become normal again, because everyone finally realized this was garbage.
>>5137442>because of retarded zoomers' desire to subvert thingsit was x and millenials more likezoomers only entered into the job market six or so years agonot a long enough time to influence any technical level professional discourse
>>5137443By that metric, it would be the millennials who ruined them then gen x who saved them.
>>5137442>relating to dinosaurs entirely by appearance>like a child
>>5137458>literally all skin impressions from all possible body parts of Tyrannosaurus, Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and Daspletosaurus show scales>"I MUST add feathers to my reconstruction or Trump is gonna win the election 'n sheit"
>>5137459Why does anytime someone complains about this, they act like having peach fuzz is the equivalent of pic related? Because you don't hear anyone talk like this about fossil elephants (that aren't mammoths) having hair.

>>5137459Tarbosaurus too. Don't forget about Tarbosaurus
>>5137459Tarbosaurus too. Don't forget about Tarbosaurus>>5137483Because 10 years ago people were unironically parading this reconstruction as the most accurate in existence and claiming depicting T. rex without feathers was Jurassic Park fanboy nonsense. Which you already knew of course.
>>5137508>>5137509I have no idea why the first part was sent as two different posts but ok
>>5137442Prehistoric Kingdom T-Rex is the best, most modern and accurate reconstruction so far. And what a surprise - it looks more classic than the previous decade reconstructions.
>>5137517Colouration is also awesome, btw. Unlike those cursed rainbow Tumblr colorations.
>>5137459Albertosaurus is also finally got its normal look on Wiki
>>5137442>i would rather people tell me what I want to hear than the truth
Paleoart is for children. Grow up and look at real fossils.
>>5137498The funny part is it's the same people
>>5137546>You've spent years of your life with a lunatic who thinks all Chinese fossils are forgeries>You are going to spend years more
i hope elaphrosaurus will get some good art, id love to see that
>>5137509>peopleyou mean just trey
>>5137459
>>5137498>log into>4chan
>>5137459Hopefully soon paleontology will also be past its hipster phase of coelurosaurian tyrannosaurs.>>5137509>peopleNo.
>>5137458>Race swapping in movies doesn't matter unless they're doing it against shitlibs like me! This is you. Don't worry, we will never forget or forgive what the cultists of the dinosaur renaissance did to paleontology for 70 years. We will drag your names through the mud for as long as human civilization still exists. I will make sure of it. You did this shit intentionally. You spread active disinformation for a good 30 years trying to make dinosaurs gay, trying to make dinosaurs trans, trying to "demasculinize" dinosaurs, allowing third worlders to make up insane stories and hoaxes about dinosaurs and never calling them out on it, fabricating the most fucking retarded and obviously untruth theories about dinosaurs so you could advance your own careers. That shit stops now. No more and never again. People have had enough.
older dinosaurs like dilophsaur and allosaurus had no feathers only newer dinosaurs like t rex did because they are closer related to modern day birds than the past era dinosaurs
>>5137459>>5137508Almost ALL theropods have only scales, if we have any information about their integument at all. And every single large theropod has ONLY scales except for the Proceratosaurids in China (shocking, I know). It's only a very small group that possibly has feathers and that group is almost exclusively found in china and mongolia (with attested feathers). Only two theropods in history outside of china have ever been found with feathers: Archaeopteryx and Ornithomimus. And I'm highly suspicious of the latter, since these feathers were only discovered well into the heyday of the death of science and the replication crisis. Everything else is base speculation, wild fantasizing and fraud. Any Ornithischians with feathers are either mistaken identity or outright fraud. Ornithischians do not have feathers. Not only that but we know that feathers are not an ancestral trait in dinosaurs because the earliest dinosaurs have dorsal osteoderms, something that doesn't exactly go well with feathers. There's also a reason to doubt whether pterosaurs had pycnofibers either. And pterosaurs are absolutely not archosaurs. They have far too many divergent anatomical differences. Wrong teeth, wrong cervical vertebral count, possibly wrong manual claw count, no mandibular fenestra (though many authors have tried to hallucinate one in shattered jaws).
>>5137642>>people>No.Yes. Unless you are saying they aren't people in which case based
>>5137534Hmmm that's weird because actual paleontologists use disinfo paleoart from internet famous paleo "artists" all the time. I've seen fucking brian engh's work in multiple papers. I've seen papers with feathered Herrerasaurids. Pic related is the cover of a book by a paleontologist. Now I assure you he damn well knows that Hadrosaurs do not have fucking feathers. But he also knows that that cover art's probably going to sell more books because of controversy like a tabloid. So no, as we have discussed many times before, paleontologists are not free of the blame here. And I must repeat, the fact that these arguments sound EXACTLY like the Hollywood arguments that shills give when they get their asses kicked about all the unpopular choices in movies and TV shows that cause complete failure means that all of this stinks of the same source: the CIA. No point even trying to deny it at this point.
>>5137517They also didn't make it obese. Notice how the knees aren't placed in the middle of its torso
>>5137680>A feathered fucking multi-ton hadrosaurIt's all so tiresome
>>5137680>I've seen papers with feathered HerrerasauridsThere is nothing wrong with this lol
>>5137520Now if we can just get them to stop putting such thick lips on theropods, get them to stop putting the hands backwards on dinosaurs, and make the tails thicker like they're supposed to be we'll be set.I am so proud to have gotten to be a part of cleansing the world of featherfaggotry with my incessant hatred and bile. We should all celebrate. We've achieved a great victory here.
>>5137566All Chinese fossils are literally forgeries though. Mamenchisaurs aren't even physically possible animals.
>>5137673Why would they be? If birds evolved 150mya then they would be significantly more related to theropods who were contemporary with the first birds rather than theropods who continued to diverge for another 85 million years.
>>5137685There's nothing wrong with it except that it's wrong. Herrerasaurids are Sauropods. I realize this is too cutting edge for most people to deal with but that's what they are. They are an odd, carnivorous early branch of Sauropods. They absolutely do not have feathers. Isn't it funny how phylogenetic bracketing doesn't matter when it's inconvenient? How many years did we have to hear that stupid fucking phrase repeated over and over again "phylogenetic bracketing" just spammed incessantly. They've gotten quiet now though since too many people have started arguing that phylogenic bracketing blows featherfag theories the hell out of the water.
>>5137690Humans are literally more closely related to whales than Tyrannosaurs are to birds. This is unassailably and objectively true and it makes feathertrannies seethe into 41%ing themselves.
>>5137692>Humans are literally more closely related to whales than Tyrannosaurs are to birds.the last common ancestor of humans and whales are actually about the same distance apart from one another, 85-100 million years distance.
>>5137698That's not even remotely correct.
>>5137700probably because I forgot to type it correctly, in that the distance between tyrannosaurs and birds and the distance between humans and whales is that similar range
>>5137517game has my ideal tarbo, lotta great designs
>>5137702I know what you meant and I don't believe even the accepted timeline is correct. Mammals didn't really have the chance to diversify until dinosaurs were already extinct. Even in the latest Cretaceous there was essentially no diversification resembling what would appear right in the paleocene and eocene and that's when the first primates and hooved animals appear. So I would say at most about 65 million years separate humans from whales. Anything longer is just pure speculation with no actual fossil evidence. ~84my separates Archaeopteryx from T. rex and Archaeopteryx already has fully formed asymmetrical flight feathers so there's a huge ghost lineage there. There's some weirdness with primates though and a few other groups but I'm not going to get into that whole thing. I'm just going to say that several groups of organisms on planet Earth would seem to indicate that the planet is younger than claimed by several million years or that continental drift happens a lot faster.
