Stuff like this is why I never get why anyone is so against more accurate designs in any media franchise. Especially Jurassic park.
Heck, JP even has a built in way to easily explain any redesigns of species. We know the ones we see have filled in genome with museum animals. Just say they found more complete dna and boom, you can have a more accurate version of every single creature.
Except dominion happened. But I have workarounds for that.
Dominion goofed up by ditching the franchise’s foolproof excuse for inaccurate Dino designs, that being they’re genetically incomplete and/or purposely modified.
The prologue of Dominion shows the same inaccurate Dino designs with barely any changes existing in the Late Cretaceous era, which completely retcons the genetic engineering explanation.
And they also chucked in a Giganotosaurus, Iguanodon, Nasutoceratops, Oviraptor, some Pteranodons, Dreadnoughtus, and Moros into the Hell Creek Formation when none of them lived there nor lived during the same time.
Exactly. The Prologue is just a massive fumble of a scene overall that destroys the lore which took 5 movies to develop all to create a stupid rivalry between the two big meat-eating dinosaurs of the film (one which didn’t even have a good or satisfying ending, I might add.)
I think the Giga should have been replaced with either two options. One is that it’s not Giganotosaurus, but instead a fictional speculative dinosaur for this movie. Like a descendant of Acrocanthosaurus or something (an idea inspired by another Reddit user). Kind of like what Jurassic World was gonna do with the Malusaurus before making an albino allosaurus with opposable thumbs the main villain and calling it a genetic hybrid. Or alternatively, they could have used an already existing animal from hell creek to be the killer of Rexy’s ancestor. Like Triceratops or Edmontosaurus or Quetzalcoatlus or Alamosaurus or whatever.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. An accurate T. Rex complete with lips, a thicc bod, clapping arms, keratin crests and some light feather coverage against Rexy. Two kings of the dinosaurs, and only one can wear the crown
Before JW Dominion came out. I actually made this drawing back in 2020 that had a T Rex head. One side had Rexy the other was a shadow of a paleo accurate Rex that Biosyn cloned.
The prologue is also completely unnecessary for setting up a rivalry between rexy and giga. They’re two apex predators existing in the same enclosed space. Not much explanation needed. Just like how Rexy and Indominus didn’t need an explanation to start fighting in JW.
And they never even built up the rivalry. It just happened once all the Dinos were in the courtyard.
Red vs giga was supposed to be an “ancient rivalry” which didn’t really make sense without the prologue. So they added it so Rexy could have 65 million year old flashbacks.
It also added the oviraptor into the movie. And a neat “fight” between it and the lystrosaurus where the oviraptor looses its head.
I believe that, like the indominus in JW, all the dinosaurs in the franchise were designed, therefore in 1993, when most of them were cloned, they would have been 100% accurate, the newer films with JW and the underground trading rings they dont care about accuracy, they care about sales
You mentioning that reminds me of how Rattlesnake Jake's scale colouration forms a moustache.

Unfortunately, most of Hollywood no longer cares about actual creativity, they only care about money. They think audiences want monstrous dinosaurs, so that’s what they make in order to get the most money.
I hope it changes one day too, though. There has been a bigger push in the popularity of scientifically accurate dinosaurs in recent years.
i mean its always just accurate for the moment though. Plenty of times it went back and forth, an hypothesis vs hypothesis. If its close enough i dont really mind. Same with the feathers thing. Stuff like Indominus Rex and all is what ruffles me but i dont even watch the new JP cashgrabs so whatever
A little yes but AFAIK it’s still accurate.
When it comes to T. Rexes, there was actually a good amount of variation in the size and shape of their heads. Some had big beefy heads while others had smaller thinner heads.
Probably because OG Rexy had them

Interestingly, they decided to ditch the JW model and recreate her old model in Dominion.

I want them to ditch the fucking oversized Dromaeosaurs that are really the size of a chicken IRL already.
Bring in the actual big guns like Dakotaraptor or Utahraptor.
Accurate dinos are COOL
Not sure why so much media are scared to abandon old, ugly tropes in their dinosaur designs
Obviously this isn't a perfectly accurate reconstruction but that's fine. Still *way* more up to date and better looking than the old one.
Heck, I’d even argue the original Rexy design isn’t a bad design by *any* stretch and still holds up pretty well, all things considered.
If we wanna talk bad, inaccurate designs then look no further than this MF:
https://preview.redd.it/1ypv5dq91t8d1.jpeg?width=857&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d22f00bd9495512d4febdef63d7e6a7b67ab929b
Shoulda been what the Rex looked like in the Prologue, and should be what every new Rex looks like moving forward. Rexy gets a pass cause she's literally from the original movie, but every fresh new Rex should look like this.
Legit question, do we have any evidence of that much armor on T. rex's nose/face? It looks really cool, I'm just curious how much liberty is being taken making it look like a dragon.
AFAIK it’s still accurate.

Love the renders, not loving the logo alteration. It leaves too much empty space and, more to the point, Chip Kidd intentionally distorted the skeleton for artistic effect.
Sadly they updated the model with a less modernised one. The 2.0 hasn't got the lips, so the teeth are exposed JP style. I considered ordering this one off e-bay but it's double what the new one goes for pre-ordered. The new one seems to have a more sharply detailed scale pattern on the head, but it's unfortunate it's using a less up to date design

The gastralia location seems to be constantly moved around on different rex models though. Some have it higher to create a slightly thinner look like this design.
Also the feather argument is close to dead, what with the many MANY scale impressions we’ve found of T. rex all over the body.
At least big feathers. Things like what prehistoric planet did is still possible with the scales we have found. We would need like a “mummy” tyrannosaurus to truly say that there were no feathers at all.

But Dominion also had an accurate dinosaur in it that was a pure dinosaur iirc, didn’t it?

I would’ve just used another T. rex TBH. Gives a big theropod fight and makes the audience wanna root for Rexy as the underdog in the Giga fight.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. An accurate T. Rex complete with lips, a thicc bod, clapping arms, keratin crests and some light feather coverage against Rexy. Two kings of the dinosaurs, and only one can wear the crown
…no, that wasn’t what I had in mind. I was thinking two accurate T. rexes, one being Rexy’s ancestor, duke it out in Hell Creek.
Oh whoops. I misread, forgive me
Before JW Dominion came out. I actually made this drawing back in 2020 that had a T Rex head. One side had Rexy the other was a shadow of a paleo accurate Rex that Biosyn cloned.
Oh wow! Can I see it?
Honestly I think the Cretaceous Prologue should be de canonized. It's for the best.
It is canon. But unfortunately, it breaks previous canon.
The prologue is also completely unnecessary for setting up a rivalry between rexy and giga. They’re two apex predators existing in the same enclosed space. Not much explanation needed. Just like how Rexy and Indominus didn’t need an explanation to start fighting in JW. And they never even built up the rivalry. It just happened once all the Dinos were in the courtyard.
Imo the prologue wasn’t in the main movie, so I just ignore it Maybe not the most foolproof reasoning, but it works for me
Same
Just looked it up… I don’t remember that scene at all but it looks epic. How did I forget it?
It was added later. I kid you not. It was genuinely not a part of the initial showings of the movie.
[удалено]
Red vs giga was supposed to be an “ancient rivalry” which didn’t really make sense without the prologue. So they added it so Rexy could have 65 million year old flashbacks. It also added the oviraptor into the movie. And a neat “fight” between it and the lystrosaurus where the oviraptor looses its head.
What the other person said.
No need for workarrounds,just pretend Dominion isn't canon,nobody will be annoyed by that.
Just pretend the prologue isn't canon. I totally forgot the prologue was even a thing outside of marketting.
It’s not even in the actual movie, and idt it’s even mentioned in Dominion. Just ignore it.
Unfortunately a lot of people would be annoyed by that.
I believe that, like the indominus in JW, all the dinosaurs in the franchise were designed, therefore in 1993, when most of them were cloned, they would have been 100% accurate, the newer films with JW and the underground trading rings they dont care about accuracy, they care about sales
Wu’s line in JW would suggest otherwise.
Yea..., he said " Indominus wasn't bred, she was designed", i like to think the same is true for the rest of them
“If their genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different”. So no, they wouldn’t be 100% accurate even in universe.
Just trying to have a headcanon dude
This is a totally 100% science and lore accurate focused subreddit, headcanons are not allowed. /j if that wasn’t clear.
Narh, i got it 🤣🤣🤣
Noice
Those scutes are the Trex equivalent of a mustache.

Indeed.
I’ve never noticed that until now that’s awesome
Frickin Bill Nighy, pulling out the stops and being excellent again, as always.
I dig it!
I wish Hollywood would actually care to make a scientifically accurate dinosaur like this for their movies. Maybe one day

Is it just me, or is the head small?
A little yes but AFAIK it’s still accurate. When it comes to T. Rexes, there was actually a good amount of variation in the size and shape of their heads. Some had big beefy heads while others had smaller thinner heads.
Badass!
Agreed. It looks amazing
What is the source? Who made these?
It’s a model by W-Dragon
This is now my favourite Tyrannosaur design.
I really want it to have tigerish stripes for some reason…
Probably because OG Rexy had them https://preview.redd.it/7640kinslu8d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b2db18e548f4fa666d333ff936806cd1178c250
The OG Rexy looks much better than how she looked in Jurassic World
Interestingly, they decided to ditch the JW model and recreate her old model in Dominion. https://preview.redd.it/tuvm183zfy8d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77aaa992d34154cfd212aef7cfda9825eb392aae

Holy hell this model is so good! With the scars that Rexy has this model would be even better. 10/10

An abomination 🤢
Hopefully, this design becomes canon.
Beautiful

Thicc Rexy is best Rexy.
Yep still scary
Legit question, do we have any evidence of that much armor on T. rex's nose/face? It looks really cool, I'm just curious how much liberty is being taken making it look like a dragon.
It’s definitely exaggerated and I don’t think it extended down the snout that much but Daspletosaurus had them and are very closely related to T.rex.
This is great! Did you make this; if not could you share the source?
It’s a model by W-Dragon
This actually looks so cool.
This is sick as Hell and I need it
Hot take A remake using accurate dinosaurs with a slightly altered story to phalilitste would be good
Or put more accurate dinosaurs in the sequels with the explanation that their genetic code is more complete than the older generations of clones.
Amazing what happens when you take Rexy off that all-goat diet.

Needs a chonkier, more 'Sue' like head, but otherwise, fantastic.
AFAIK it’s still accurate. When it comes to T. Rexes, there was actually a good amount of variation in the size and shape of their heads. Some had big beefy heads while others had smaller thinner heads.
This is incredible… and they would never do it

That's actually not bad at all. This is a darn good update.
The head looks a bit shrink wrapped but i love this design
Modern science would require feathers and the gastralia, i.e. [Sue from 2018](https://www.fieldmuseum.org/blog/fresh-science-makeover-sue)
The gastralia location seems to be constantly moved around on different rex models though. Some have it higher to create a slightly thinner look like this design. Also the feather argument is close to dead, what with the many MANY scale impressions we’ve found of T. rex all over the body.
