[heady vortex]

The goober

[glass cape]

I agree with you on the first one. I hate the other 2 more by a long shot

[winged sphinx]

carried by Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool and Wolverine and maybe the Loki show. Everything else is so slop 😭

[glass cape]

It has fluff at least

[winged sphinx]

I will cry if it has eagle feet like every damn pterosaur in JW

way to butcher a design

but for now we're okay

[granite shale]

i didn't bother at all after Spiderman.

Like, why would i care for diamonds when they're all in one big pile of

[winged sphinx]

designs aren't trash on average

as I said, could be better but I'm taking it

[heady vortex]

The director said he wants to bring back fear of dinosaurs in this film and there’s more death than ever apparently

[glass cape]

Plus, the people in dominion said that biosyn's dinosaurs were 100% pure 😭

[winged sphinx]

I quite literally only watched one in theater's and just gave up after that, onl watching a few in my house when I was told they were good

[granite shale]

aggresively points at Black Parade Giga

[winged sphinx]

I would beat up the director

how can you say that and then put Giganotosaurus

or a 90s theri

or DILO, DILO WITH A FRILL AND VENOM

[granite shale]

i mean to be fair they're good.

it's the idea of those good movies being connected to absolutely horrible movies is what motivates me to not watch it.

[winged sphinx]

RRRRAAAAAAGHHHH

[glass cape]

Rn I would say that the designs as a whole are mid. With some being better while some just aren't good (D.rex)

[granite shale]

no way

it's called D.Rex?

[heady vortex]

Also the plot of this whole movie is cause the cure for heart disease is found in dinosaur dna

[glass cape]

The definitely thought that slapping a few feathered onto their inaccurate designs made them accurate

[granite shale]

where's the tyrannosaurid? i mistook that for a megatherium

[winged sphinx]

Idk who to blame for this

WHY

[granite shale]

i feel like it's a plot twist.

[winged sphinx]

why are people so reluctant to accept accuracy

[glass cape]

Colin

[glass cape]

Because humanity

[granite shale]

Colin probably

but apparently he has no hand in Rebirth

[winged sphinx]

many dinosaurs were way way WAY cooler than their sci fi counterparts. In fact, dilophosaurus in the book is so much better

[glass cape]

Good

[granite shale]

So... universal i guess?

[winged sphinx]

Right, but at the same time Spielberg did not wanna give feathers to the velos

[glass cape]

Indeed

[winged sphinx]

so he started the problem

[glass cape]

People are calling the accurate Spinosaurus "janky"

[winged sphinx]

imagine calling a living, breathing animal janky 😭

[granite shale]

it's the necc or the scales probs

[glass cape]

me staring at swerve

[winged sphinx]

well, I guess a platypus is janky

[glass cape]

I meant the fully up to date one

[granite shale]

oh you meant the actual one

[glass cape]

I think the Spinosaurus design is alright

[granite shale]

i mean i'm sitll not used with the arms

[glass cape]

Idk how to feel about the head though. It could be the angle

[heady vortex]

mfw another jw movie and Triceratops doesn’t get a chance to shine at all again

[granite shale]

we've yet to see the entire dinosaur roster

[winged sphinx]

the head looks too thick

[glass cape]

I do find it funny that some people think that rexy could win against an accurate Tyrannosaurus in a fight.

[glass cape]

Yeah

[winged sphinx]

but other than that...eh, I'd choose it over jp3

[glass cape]

Same

[granite shale]

Same same

[glass cape]

I really like the individual variation on the sails

And that mosa is beautiful

[granite shale]

skinnier smaller mosa

[glass cape]

Other than it's size, it seems relatively accurate

[granite shale]

smaller relative to the JW Mosa

i think it's smaller...

[heady vortex]

Thank god it’s smaller

[winged sphinx]

they still made it the size of a damn leviathan but at least I appreciate that the design looks...quite accurate

[heady vortex]

Jw mosa was just a kaiju

[winged sphinx]

at least better than the car crash the JW one is

[glass cape]

I like the head shape and tail fluke

[granite shale]

i mean it's JW/JP, i don't think there's a single accurate dinosaur representation at all, they all spin dinosaur designs to make them stand out amongst dinosaur media

[glass cape]

Yes

[winged sphinx]

there's many that are very grounded and still can stand out or look pretty

[glass cape]

It's sad that the JP velo is actually more accurate than the JW one

[winged sphinx]

plus who cares about spins. it's the single largest dinosaur media around. As long as a design isn't unfathomably ugly, it will stand out

[glass cape]

I'm happy that we are getting designs that have more colour

[heady vortex]

Finally actual color

[granite shale]

i mean i'm pretty sure JP unintentionally dictated the public's view on what a Velociraptor is without knowing it's a Utahraptor spinoff

[heady vortex]

[winged sphinx]

fr, jp and jw designs tended to be like if they had been ripped from Dark Souls 3 as for color palettes. Especially the herbivores for some reason

all just ash gray or dull brown

[granite shale]

like we'd all probably froth at the mouth and salivate at a 200% accurate mosa but i doubt the general target market of universal is going to appreciate that

[winged sphinx]

I like this one

ngl

[glass cape]

In your opinion, what is the worse design in the JP franchise?

[rustic badger]

I find it funny how this is gonna be the 7th Jurassic movie and we don't have anything on Trike vs Rex, dunno if they've ever even shared a scene

[heady vortex]

But none of the movie designs could come close to as horrid as Jurassic World Alive hybrids

[granite shale]

see i look at that and immediately went "that doesn't feel accurate at all" and immediately shrugged it off knowing it's JP/JW design.

[granite shale]

never did

[glass cape]

just ignore that the genus is apparently dubious

[granite shale]

do the games count, because i'd say Iguanodon

[winged sphinx]

they didnt

[winged sphinx]

only movies or all media?

[glass cape]

I'd say the movie and TV shows count, but not the games.

[glass cape]

BURN IT
PULVERIZE IT
DESTROY IT
TERMINATE IT IMMEDIATELY

CANCEL IT'S LIFE SUBSCRIPTION

[rustic badger]

Deinonychus

[granite shale]

this is hard

if i had bias, JP3 spino, only because of our current spino interpretation and i desperately need someone to do that

with no bias, Tarbosaurus from camp cretaceous. its literally just feels like rexy with the Giga emo spikes.

[glass cape]

I completely forgot any Tarbo

It looks like a toy

[rustic badger]

I do not like JW Carno..... why big head.... why arms?

[winged sphinx]

Baryonyx, Dominion Giganotosaurus, JW trilogy velociraptor, JWE Deinonychus, JP Telltale Troodon, Camp Cretaceous Tarbosaurus and prolly I few more I'm forgetting

[winged sphinx]

all of those are garbo

[granite shale]

the Deino i can appreciate for the reference

[glass cape]

It would be between Baryonyx, Dimetrodon or Giganotosaurus for me.

[granite shale]

whatthehellasaurus

[glass cape]

Jesus Christ what is THAT

[heady vortex]

Alive has some of the worst things I’ve seen

[glass cape]

I'm glad I don't play it

[granite shale]

you got the indotaurus thing

[heady vortex]

Uhhhh not sure

[granite shale]

wait lemme send that cursed thing

[heady vortex]

Ohhh you meant that one

Yeah I don’t have it but ik it

[granite shale]

yeah the indoraptor with a carno head

[winged sphinx]

the designer should be casted into the fires of hell

[rustic badger]

Burn it

[granite shale]

you know i'm starting to think JW opened a new gate in hell with these designs.

[glass cape]

They should be thrown into Tartarus itself

[heady vortex]

You haven’t seen the worse

[glass cape]

They are all cursed but the third one is on another level

[heady vortex]

This is actually vile

[glass cape]

I hate the Jurassic world trike so much

[granite shale]

oh that thing, thegamingbeaver hated that to the heavens if my memory serves me right

not the design, the gameplay

that thing destroyed the meta i think

[glass cape]

Rhino with an inaccurate trike head photoshopped onto it.

[winged sphinx]

dinosaur media has fallen...

[heady vortex]

But then JWA put out this not too long ago

so like it’s a hit or miss with the designs

[granite shale]

like i have to be honest, JW had me with Spinoraptor, Stegoceratops, not this..... this.... this.... i don't even know what to meme call it

[granite shale]

sigilmassasaurus right?

or spinosaurus gen 2....

[heady vortex]

Just a spino

[glass cape]

I see people crying in the comments of the trailer about the new designs looking more accurate.

[granite shale]

to be fair it's a step nontheless

[glass cape]

I'm just happy that they look a bit better than Dominions dinosaurs.

[heady vortex]

If they keep this franchise going, how much longer until they bring out a mammoth for no reason

[winged sphinx]

WAIT

really???

💀

[glass cape]

Yep

[winged sphinx]

bro, the first film was extremely scientific and grounded

and a lot of that actually remained in the second and sort of in jp3

it is jw what started butchering stuff and understanding nothing

[glass cape]

And yet they use the stupid line "JP was never accurate in the first place"

[winged sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/bike-head-ding-ding-gif-14702293

[granite shale]

i'm no universal employee but i'd imagine the movies are raking in more and more money

[winged sphinx]

People trying to understand that perception of dinosaurs based on partial fossils can change with new discoveries and over the years challenge (impossible)

of course they aren't that accurate now, but they sure did make a difference

[ashen relic]

only the first 2 JP movies felt grounded imo

[winged sphinx]

it was the first film ever to not represent them as sluggish, tail-dragging stupid lizards and instead adhered to the dinosaur renaissance that was going on

[winged sphinx]

there's still some traces even if tiny in the third one with how spino was very much what paleontologists suggested in the very early 2000s and late 1990s

[ashen relic]

oh yeah true

[winged sphinx]

they didnt just go and for example turn carnotaurus into the disney one like fallen kingdom almost did

[ashen relic]

also i love the jp3 raptors

[winged sphinx]

at least there was some semblance of animals being designed to be more or less faithful and also not all of them were brawler killing machines that never relent

unlike in jw...Where dinosaurs are written characters and group up to beat a stronger villain...

[ashen relic]

i really wish they kept this games reason for them becoming more accurate (the "non-dino" genes were eventually just bred out by the newer generations dominant dino genes over and over with each passing generation)

[winged sphinx]

would've been cool

[ashen relic]

it actually made sense too because these probably wouldve each been three newer generations

[rustic badger]

What if they start doing Mammal Mutatnts

[ashen relic]

at that point its just genetics: the movie and not about dinosaurs

[granite shale]

no way my megatherium rex meme would suddenly be legit

[granite shale]

genetics world

[ashen relic]

oughhhhhh

[rustic badger]

MAMMOTHSAURUS TIGER

[ashen relic]

liiike

i like the idea that the jp dinosaurs are genetic freaks of nature that shouldnt exist, but now that ideas kinda just being used as a crutch for the movies to make whatever they want that has big teeth

[granite shale]

no creatures like the Giga are already abominations by Wu's standards

what are the mutants then, literal spawns of satan?

[ashen relic]

fr

[granite shale]

like that mutant thing genuinely is the furthest from dinosaurs

but

[ashen relic]

the genetic aspect of the jurassic movies are a really mixed bag

[winged sphinx]

funny that they are said to be theme park monsters in the first one, yet they were basically the euivalent of Path of Titans designs but for that age

[granite shale]

the roster they have for Rebirth, the writer, director, everyone, it's a heavy team. they got a reputation. as much as diehard fans hate the mutants/hybrids, this could work.

[winged sphinx]

(as in fairly grounded, accurate and realistic)

[ashen relic]

like if you wanna be like "these theme park genetic monsters shouldnt exist!" that only really works in the context of a theme park

[winged sphinx]

although what matters the most to me is how the creatures behave in this one. If Rebirth doesnt turn them into hyper rabid no chill megacracked gladiators that only think about killing and eating, we're good

[granite shale]

covers your eyes from the spino/mosa scene

[ashen relic]

like imo the genetic monster aspects only really works when its in tandem with an amusement park like Jurassic Park

[winged sphinx]

eeeeh I would have to wait and see

[granite shale]

i think it works if they go on the "other companies are starting to genuinely mess with genetic codes and make a mutant thing"

Hoskins went on that tangent

and indoraptor was built for that

[ashen relic]

the indoraptor for example doesnt really work for me because its just "criminals being criminals" and not an official government approved fun kiddie place, so atp its just a monster movie about an evil lizard in a creepy mansion

the genetic park doesnt hit as hard because its not as stark of a contrast

if that makes sense

[granite shale]

kinda

[ashen relic]

ok so if they go down the route of medicine and genetic crap for this movie i guess i could see mr rancor making sense somehow, but even then just make an original movie with a genetic monster because then theres no point in the dinosaur aspect

as far as dinosaurs/genetics i kinda like the first movies interpretation that they brought them back fairly accurately, but in doing so they brought back creatures from a LONG forgotten time and how scary that can be

like they just didnt construct an animal, they physically ripped these beings from ancient earth, and now theyre in the same room with us and theyre HUNGRY

especially with the trex breakout ouuuughhh

[sage hearth]

Spinos pack hunting with a mosasaur

tf is the head about tho

[winged sphinx]

mixpacking! Admin ban them! Mixpackers at the beach!!!!

[supple temple]

He's spino but fat

[glass summit]

Interesting. This mutant dino in the trailer has 6 limbs. It has the big arms but also smaller trex arms. You can see them next to the dude's elbow and they're pretty clear when it's in motion.

[glass cape]

It could be the angle but I'm really not sure abt that head. The body seems nice tho

[glass cape]

This is literally alien. I hate it.

@young gale @smoky mauve
I'm sad we can't transfer our data from the old card dex app

other than the cool trailer with horrivle hybrid

[full patrol]

I'm gonna go into the new movie blind and hope that at least it's not boring

[young gale]

Sadge

[smoky mauve]

Yeah pocket isnt this power crept yet 💀

But yeah there are big differences between battles in pocket and the actual tcg that make direct translations basically impossible. The biggest being deck size, energy generation, and the fact that EX cards actually have to be evolved rather than just being basics

[full patrol]

I haven't done any battles yet, just started yesterday x)

[lethal cargo]

Agreed 100%

[abstract marsh]

I hate that the Jurassic park movies just keep adding kids into the mix.
Like the first three movies were fine, it was the 80/90’s and the acting was a little better.
But now we just get these kids who add nothing to the story

[full patrol]

Children in the audience need to be able to relate to the characters in the movie. Harder when there's no characters representing them
My assumption anyway

[spare garden]

Its head looks identical to the mermaids from the movie "Underwater"

[lethal cargo]

Fr bro.

[formal stream]

2 deinos, dibble carno and cera teaming up on sub stego....

clan of mixpackers

on official

i cant actually take a fact that those are actual real people behind screen

[craggy raven]

can i offer my thought of what i was thinking for rebirth (i dont know if its been said our thought of yet)

[rough hollow]

Migrating over here

Anyways yeah the Day of Dragons mods are so terrible. I was just chilling and in a PRIVATE GROUP CHAT a person was venting about their suicidal thoughts, and the mod had the AUDACITY to mute them from speaking in ANY TEXT CHAT for a WHOLE MONTH.

The ego is unmatched

[glossy quarry]

Get used to it, every movie has some mixpack on screen

[fallen palm]

I want to hear what Dondi has to say about that JW Rebirth trailer.

I just saw it on an instagram ad a few mins ago

[winged sphinx]

I mean

It has Rex

Although he won’t like that it doesn’t get enough time on screen

And I agree

[fallen palm]

This is true

I hated the last two JW movies, but hopefully this one will hit differently

[craggy raven]

it could be refreshing New cast i think

I'm not sure who knows

I'm excited

[winged sphinx]

As long as it is like a 6+/10, it will be better than all the other JW ones

[glossy quarry]

Unfortunately, another film is taking place and we still haven't had the scene with the compies in the hospital maternity ward.

[tall tangle]

Everything about how this movie was made was incredible. The whole thing is a work of art.

True but the coordination of this scene kinda trumps all others

[rocky dew]

how come legacy servers arent loading in the menu?

[round narwhal]

same

[glass cape]

I'm sick and tired of villain and hero dinosaurs.

[winged sphinx]

Same

They’re just animals bruv

They started as that

But JP3 sort of started that trend and then the JW trilogy got fully into that

I am still baffled that Trevorrow was given control of Jurassic World considering that he had only directed two small projects before that nobody knows

No way he isn’t relative or something from one of Universal’s executives

[winged sphinx]

I wonder how is it that so many of the large media is always somehow written and directed by the most creatively bankrupt people on Earth

Other than a few outliers where the director is also the producer and commonly someone who has a say in many aspects of their own films such as Tarantino or Nolan

[glass cape]

C o l i n

[glass cape]

Yes

[winged sphinx]

How can someone who claims to be a fan understand so little from the originals

I hate the fandom so much for condoning this too. They just go full soyface pointing and being hyped up when they see a new hybrid or Diddy Rex now

Or the ugliest dinosaur designs known to man like the JW giga and bary

[glass cape]

Absolutely no idea. I once saw this dude in a comments section of a video crying about people giving constructive criticism to the JW franchise. Nostalgia blinds a lot of people

[winged sphinx]

Which video was it? Maybe I’ve watched it

I like those critiques

[glass cape]

I honestly don't remember the name of the video. Only that comment. I could look up jwd to see if I could find it

[winged sphinx]

It’s okay

[glass cape]

Goddamn I can't find it

Either way, the diehard fans that seem to love everything about the franchise EXCEPT more accurate designs drive me bonkers.

[winged sphinx]

Honestly I don’t think this design is that bad other than it feels weird how long the tail is and how it can move despite being so thin (and therefore hardly having the muscle to sustain it). But I like a sauropod with any flair of originality

[glass cape]

Those people don't even view dinosaurs as real animals that lived on our planet millions of years ago. They view them as Godzilla monsters but smaller tbh.

[winged sphinx]

The videos and statements of people saying science and accuracy makes dinosaurs boring 😭 😭 😭

[glass cape]

You're talking about that woman crying about how science apparently ruined the dinosaurs, aren't you 😭

[winged sphinx]

Unironically, this is not a very wrong thing to say. Especially with the continuity of JW, many people seriously do not see dinosaurs like many isle players do (which is laughably since The Isle parts from the premise of being completely fictional and not trying to be accurate) even though they were real animals

[winged sphinx]

Yes lmao

Also people elsewhere that I am trying to find in the JW Reddit

[glass cape]

I sometimes feel sorry for those people

[winged sphinx]

This is sad and honestly a disservice to the amount of research and work the JP team put into the damn animals

[glass cape]

I saw that before. I'm so tempted to join a Jurassic world discord server and post this. It would trigger a bunch of people

The JW raptors are so atrocious. They look like toys.

Honestly a lot of the theropod designs in JW look like toys

[winged sphinx]

I hate their skull and the crocodile skin so much

[glass cape]

Same

Also the teeth

[winged sphinx]

Also, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT STEGO

It looks actually ill

[glass cape]

Literally a retro dinosaur

[winged sphinx]

Look at how tight the skin is to the bones

It looks like an ill cow

[winged sphinx]

Oh yeah they’re all the same length

and their hands

My god their hands

Although I would say the carnotaurus one is much worse. They straight up ignored the anatomy in fallen kingdom

[glass cape]

And I absolutely hate blue. I hope she gets thrown into Tartarus

[winged sphinx]

Raptors with empathy

[glass cape]

I also find it hilarious that they tried to have an emotional scene with the Brachiosaurus right after we saw the dinosaurs acting like monsters.

[glass cape]

Also, this may sound like bait…

But I just found someone who actually was trying to defend the existence of D Rex in JWR by saying that mutations also occur in nature and that it could perfectly fit in as a mutated dinosaur

Well, buddy, I guess that by that rule of three it is also possible that if I have kids one of them turns out to get Wolverine powers

[winged sphinx]

Just wanted to project how much I dislike people praising bad stuff about the JW trilogy and this one

Like the hybrids

Or the fake diddy Rex

[iron pumice]

i think it brings new stuff to the trilogy instead of the continuinuing the story of owen, claire and the clone they adopted

[dawn barn]

fingers crossed, jurassic world rebirth will hopefully turn out amazing

[elfin atlas]

Same here

[earnest solar]

Dinosaur minecract!

[glass cape]

I hope it will be good, but I doubt it.

[zenith mason]

Some how more realistic than the old jurrasic park 3 one

[winged sphinx]

I think that plot was quite trash and should’ve never started. I mean more stuff like fans going like that meme of a soyface pointing whenever they saw the dominion giga, rebirth’s mutant and stuff like that

Instead of massively boycotting all of those affronts to the original movie and its vision

[winged sphinx]

I think it still can be okay or enjoyable

Oo nice rasboras!
Also rip female nerite snail have fun cleaning egg spam off your stuff for eternity. The only easy way to get them off the glass is with a razor blade 💀

[young gale]

The nerite snail has only been laying eggs on the bulb which is what is covered in the picture

The bulb was supposed to grow into a plant but never happened

Probably cuz the snail kept taking it out of the substrate and covering it with eggs

[full patrol]

It starts with 1 thing, then the snail starts finding more egg laying places, eventually nowhere in the tank is safe.
Mine started out just laying on one piece of wood then after a couple years started expanding her realestate

[young gale]

I see

Ive had this snail for over a year and its only layed eggs on the driftwood and the bulb

I havent seen any on the glass

[surreal nacelle]

I wouldn't hold your breath. Take a look at the directors and writers, also always always wait for reviews. Then maybe they'll be held accountable and stop making CGI slop.

[barren bear]

at least the director has made some solid movies

[slow hazel]

gareth edward?

[barren bear]

yeah, Rogue One

The Creator looked nice but it was controversial

if anything, script will probably be nothing

[slow hazel]

Damn, Rouge One is considered as one of the best star wars movies

I think he also directed godzilla 2014

[shell rapids]

ye, gareth edward was 2014 godzilla guy, which, gives me some hope

but not enough

Pyroraptor in dominion looking like an angrier and feathery version of a JP velociraptor

also why is it that somehow the roblox game has better lighting on their dinos than the Isle does

The shiny dinos are really off-putting yeah.

I hope they fix that

Sadly it is unlikely that we get the same treatment as the first Sonic movie and they change the design…

it isn't bad

[modest isle]

the Spinosaurus literally has a short neck and a Mosasaurus head

Spino with Mosa DNA 🧬 that explains why they were helping the mosasaurus in the trailer

Or maybe the mosa was following the spinos to steal what they killed

[lethal cargo]

Dude thats literally what I was thinking last night

What even causes the glossiness of the Isle dinos?

[spice gyro]

As far as I understand it, it’s a bug relating to the engine. I remember Don said it was an issue even in the editor. Though I’ve also noticed that dinos never seem to dry off once they get wet from rain or swimming so that might enhance the issue

[iron pumice]

wasnt that isle logo made before jw2?

[iron pumice]

people might be treating it badly, we havent seen that thing in an actual good pose. Imagine somebody took a picture of you while posing in a similiar way.

[winged sphinx]

but like

we have a perfect plane to see the width of the skull

and perspective wont change the fact they opened the temporal fenestra to make it look like a gigantic earhole

and well

[iron pumice]

i still dont get why people are complaining about everything in the movie

its a trailer

we cannot yet judge

[winged sphinx]

is perspective really going to save the neck (even though it makes more sense for a very aquatic animal to have a short neck)?

[full patrol]

Welcome to your average fandom where unless something is exactly how they picture it, it's bad and wrong

[winged sphinx]

But...is someone complaining about everything here? I think there's two pretty good designs, a decent one, another that is an improvement, one I wish it got retouched, one that gets killed by the had and one that I personally think it is a dumpster fire

there's nuance

and I didn't say anything final about the movie because, well, it ain't out yet and to me plot is what matters the most

[winged sphinx]

?

In all honesty I'd still pick this one over fallen kingdom and dominion

and Idek anything about the story

[iron pumice]

at least i am glad there are no people as of right now that just straight up say everything is dog water

[winged sphinx]

it already looks better

[full patrol]

A broad statement about how you can't please everyone

[winged sphinx]

those people have no interest on making an enriching conversation. It's just not really worth it in most cases to engage

leaving them be is best

[winged sphinx]

totally agree

[iron pumice]

true

[full patrol]

Black widow is in it 👀

Now all we need is Tony stark

Then we have a real movie

[iron pumice]

i have no problems with no released jurassic world movies... (besides dominion)

[winged sphinx]

same goes for many glazers. If someone is clearly deadset in a viewpoint and wont elaborate, why even bother

[iron pumice]

glazers?

[full patrol]

I haven't seen the last JP movie. I wanted to but never got around to it

[winged sphinx]

thanos the actual dinosaur genus as the main villain mastermind before the avengers as paleontologists assemble

[winged sphinx]

it's the polar opposite of rampant, unambigous haters. People who will go to great lengths to worship and protect something from criticism

Although admittedly the haters are more common

[iron pumice]

jurassic park 3 is quite cool plot, and if you realise it, all jurassic world movies are very similiar to jurassic park movies. By that i mean that jp1 is similiar to jw1, etc etc

[iron pumice]

yea cuz hating something is much easier for people

[full patrol]

Ah to me glazers are just people who go above and beyond to defend their opinion, sometimes to the point of delusion

So you can be a glazer hater

[winged sphinx]

because if someone likes something, they are more likely to know more about it

[iron pumice]

dont get mad at me but i felt like there were many of those people in this server a year or two ago

[full patrol]

There's way too many of those people in general. People as a collective need to chill a little

[iron pumice]

yes

jurassic park 1 is very similiar to jurassic world 1, because dinosaurs escape out of containment in both movies due to many issues

jurassic park 2 and jurassic world 2 are similiar because a dinosaur roams free out of the island in jp2, but many do so in jw2

[winged sphinx]

although I feel like there's many significant differences (that make jp better)

not really nostalgia bias

[iron pumice]

and in jurassic park 3 and jurassic world 3, in both movies a child goes missing

[winged sphinx]

but to me JW always felt like JP but poorly mirrored

[iron pumice]

jw3 is not my personal favourite tbh

[winged sphinx]

it is widely regarded as the weaker one of the trilogy

although dominion and fallen kingdom are so much more hated and rightfully so

[iron pumice]

i remember in 2018 me and my best friend being excited for jw3, and expecting a pterosaur hybrid, because we got a t rex hybrid, a raptor hybrid, so we though of a pterosaur hybrid

but 4 years later, we got quite dissapointed...

if the plot was at least a little bit better, i personally think it wouldve been better

[winged sphinx]

Dominion is objectively bad even from a storytelling standpoint

it literally has no conclusion

such a basic thing that kids are taught in primary school about how stories are segemented

in dominion they offer a premise regarding how will dinosaurs have to live with humans and the movie does literally nothing about it

the entire start is also pretty shaky and hard to believe, but the fact they just turned it all into a mid lobster evil corporation detective infiltration thing...

and then it all loops back to the original issue, solving absolutely nothing

only good thing to come out of it imo was the theri introduction scene

Chiefs need an interception to get the ball to have a chance at tying

To get rid of rats, you can use traps, repellents, and seal entry points.
Traps
Electronic traps: Considered the most modern and humane traps, these lure rats with food and electrocute them
Snap traps: Effective and kill rodents quickly

First Animal species of the day (462) :
Short-winged mole cricket / (Neoscapteriscus abbreviatus )

Neoscapteriscus abbreviatus (syn. Scapteriscus abbreviatus), the short-winged mole cricket, is a species of insect in the mole cricket family, Gryllotalpidae. It is native to South America but has been introduced inadvertently into Florida, in the United States. Unlike other related species, it is unable to fly, nor do the males emit songs in order to attract females.

Description
Neoscapteriscus abbreviatus is a medium-sized mole cricket with a length of from 22 to 29 mm (0.9 to 1.1 in). Its leathery forewings are shorter than its prothorax and its membranous hind wings are shorter than its forewings, rendering it unable to fly.[2] Members of this genus are characterized by having two sharp claws and a blade-like process with a sharp edge on their forelegs. Other mole crickets have three or four claws.[3] N. abbreviatus can be distinguished from the other members of its genus found in Florida, N. borellii and N. vicinus, by examining the two claws on its front leg. They diverge slightly and the distance between them at the base is equal or greater than the size of a claw base. The other two species have forewings that are longer than their prothorax, and hindwings that exceed the length of their abdomens.[2]

Distribution and habitat
Neoscapteriscus abbreviatus is native to South America where it is found in eastern Brazil. It is now also present in Central America and the West Indies. The type locality is Pernambuco in Brazil.[4] It was accidentally introduced into Florida, United States, around 1900, probably with turf, manure or live plant material. It is mostly found in coastal regions and digs its burrows in sandy soils in grassland, fields, verges, turf and lawns.[2]

Control
Mole crickets cause more damage to turf than do other insects in Florida. In 1988, it was reported that some forty million dollars was spent each year on mole cricket control in the state, the main species targeted being S. abbreviatus and S. vicinus. It was customary to use organophosphates to control them, but these have fallen out of favour on environmental grounds. Fenoxycarb, a juvenile hormone analogue has been researched and was found to greatly reduce the number of eggs produced by each female S. abbreviatus.[5]

Biological pest control has also been used, with the introduction into Florida of certain natural enemies to the mole crickets from South America. The parasitoid wasp Larra bicolor deposits larvae on adult mole crickets and the fly Ormia depleta acts in a similar manner, laying eggs on them; in both cases, the developing larvae devour the tissues of the host. The mole cricket nematode (Steinernema scapterisci) liberates a bacterium which causes sepsis and death to its host mole cricket.[6]

First Animal species of the day (463) :
Crown-of-thorns starfish / ( Acanthaster planci )

The crown-of-thorns starfish (frequently abbreviated to COTS),[1] Acanthaster planci, is a large starfish that preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). The crown-of-thorns starfish receives its name from venomous thornlike spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the biblical crown of thorns. It is one of the largest starfish in the world.

A. planci has a very wide Indo-Pacific distribution. It is perhaps most common around Australia, but can occur at tropical and subtropical latitudes from the Red Sea and the East African coast across the Indian Ocean, and across the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of Central America. It occurs where coral reefs or hard coral communities occur in the region.

Description

The body form of the crown-of-thorns starfish is fundamentally the same as that of a typical starfish, with a central disk and radiating arms. Its special traits, however, include being disc-shaped, multiple-armed, flexible, prehensile, heavily spined, and having a large ratio of stomach surface to body mass.[2] Its prehensile ability arises from the two rows of numerous tube feet that extend to the tip of each arm. In being multiple-armed, it has lost the five-fold symmetry (pentamerism) typical of starfish, although it begins its lifecycle with this symmetry. The animal has true image-forming vision.[3]

Adult crown-of-thorns starfish normally range in size from 25 to 35 cm (10 to 14 in).[4] They have up to 21 arms.[3][5] Although the body of the crown of thorns has a stiff appearance, it is able to bend and twist to fit around the contours of the corals on which it feeds. The underside of each arm has a series of closely fitting plates, which form a groove and extend in rows to the mouth.[6] Depending on diet or geographic region, individuals can be purple, purple-blue, reddish grey or brown with red spine tips, or green with yellow spine tips.[7]

The long, sharp spines on the sides of the starfish's arms and upper (aboral) surface resemble thorns and create a crown-like shape, giving the creature its name. The spines can range from 4 to 5 cm long and are stiff, very sharp, and readily pierce through soft surfaces.[8] Despite the battery of sharp spines on the aboral surface and blunt spines on the oral surface, the crown-of-thorns starfish's general body surface is membranous and soft. When the starfish is removed from the water, the body surface ruptures and the body fluid leaks out, so the body collapses and flattens. The spines bend over and flatten, as well. They recover their shape when reimmersed, if they are still alive.[9]

Behavior

The adult crown-of-thorns is a corallivorous predator that usually preys on reef scleractinian coral polyps, as well as encrusting sessile invertebrates and dead animals.[21][22] It climbs onto a section of living coral colony using the large number of tube feet, which lie in distinct ambulacral grooves on the oral surface.[23] It fits closely to the surface of the coral, even the complex surfaces of branching corals. It then extrudes its stomach out through its mouth over the surface to virtually its own diameter. The stomach surface secretes digestive enzymes that allow the starfish to absorb nutrients from the liquefied coral tissue. This leaves a white scar of coral skeleton that is rapidly infested with filamentous algae.[24] An individual starfish can consume up to 6 square metres (65 sq ft) of living coral reef per year.[25] In a study of feeding rates on two coral reefs in the central Great Barrier Reef region, large starfish (40 cm (16 in) and greater diameter) killed about 61 cm2 (9 in2)/day in winter and 357 to 478 cm2 (55 to 74 in2) per day in summer. Smaller starfish, 20–39 cm (8–15 in), killed 155 to 234 cm2 (24 to 36 in2) per day in the equivalent seasons. The area killed by the large starfish is equivalent to about 10 m2 (108 sq ft) from these observations.[26] Differences in feeding and locomotion rates between summer and winter reflect the fact that the crown-of-thorns, like all marine invertebrates, is a poikilotherm whose body temperature and metabolic rate are directly affected by the temperature of the surrounding water. In tropical coral reefs, crown-of-thorns specimens reach mean locomotion rates of 35 cm/min (14 in/min),[27] which explains how outbreaks can damage large reef areas in relatively short periods.

The starfish show preferences between the hard corals on which they feed. They tend to feed on branching corals and table-like corals, such as Acropora, Pavona, and Pocillopora species, rather than on more rounded corals with less exposed surface area, such as Porites species.[28][29] Avoidance of Porites and some other corals may also be due to resident bivalve mollusks and polychaete worms in the surface of the coral, which discourage the starfish.[30] Similarly, some symbionts, such as small crabs, living within the complex structures of branching corals, may ward off the starfish as it seeks to spread its stomach over the coral surface.[31]

In reef areas of low densities of hard coral, reflecting the nature of the reef community or due to feeding by high density crown-of-thorns, the starfish may be found feeding on soft corals (Alcyonacea).[32]

The starfish are cryptic in behavior during their first two years, emerging at night to feed. They usually remain so as adults when solitary. The only evidence of a hidden individual may be white feeding scars on adjacent coral. However, their behavior changes under two circumstances:

During the breeding season, which is typically during early to midsummer, the starfish may gather together high on a reef and synchronously release gametes to achieve high levels of egg fertilization.[33] This pattern of synchronized spawning is not at all unique, but it is very common amongst marine invertebrates that do not copulate. Solitary spawning gives no opportunity for fertilization of eggs and wastes gametes and evidence exists of a spawning pheromone that causes the starfish to aggregate and release gametes synchronously.[34]
When the starfish are at high densities, they may move day and night, competing for living coral.

‘A. planci forage on corals at a high rate especially when the populations occur therefore resulting to loss of reef habitats and overall, loss of species Diversity.’ Research shows that when such populations of these starfish are found, they can destroy coral and alter the structure of reefs and its support marine organism (Brodie et al., 2005)”.

Predators

The elongated, sharp spines covering nearly the entire upper surface of the crown-of-thorns serve as a mechanical defense against large predators. It also has a chemical defense. Saponins presumably serve as an irritant when the spines pierce a predator, in the same way as they do when they pierce the skin of humans. Saponins have an unpleasant taste. A study to test the predation rate on juvenile Acanthaster spp. by appropriate fish species found that the starfish were often mouthed, tasted, and rejected.[35] These defenses tend to make it an unattractive target for coral community predators. In spite of this, however, Acanthaster populations are typically composed of a proportion of individuals with regenerating arms.

About 11 species have been reported to prey occasionally on uninjured and healthy adults of A. planci. All of these are generalist feeders, but none of these seems to specifically prefer the starfish as a food source.[36] This number, however, is probably lower, as some of these presumed predators have not been witnessed reliably in the field. Some of those witnessed are:

A species of pufferfish and two triggerfish have been observed to feed on crown-of-thorns starfish in the Red Sea, and although they may have some effect on the A. planci population, no evidence exists of systematic predation.[37] In the Indo-Pacific waters, white-spotted puffers, and Titan triggerfish have also been found to eat this starfish.[38]
Triton's trumpet, a very large gastropod mollusk, is a known predator of Acanthaster in some parts of the starfish's range. The Triton has been described as tearing the starfish to pieces with its file-like radula.[39]
The small painted shrimp Hymenocera picta, a general predator of starfish, has been found to prey on A. planci at some locations.[40] A polychaete worm, Pherecardia striata, was observed to be feeding on the starfish together with the shrimp on an east Pacific coral reef.[41] About 0.6% of the starfish in the reef population were being attacked by both the shrimp and polychaete worm, killing the starfish in about a week. Glynn suggested this resulted in a balance between mortality and recruitment in this population, leading to a relatively stable population of starfish.[40]
Since P. striata can only attack a damaged A. planci and cause its death, it may be regarded as an "impatient scavenger" rather than a predator.[42] As distinct from predators, dead and mutilated adults of A. planci attract a number of scavengers. Glynn lists two polychaete worms, a hermit crab, a sea urchin, and seven species of small reef fish.[41] Apparently, they are able to tolerate the distasteful saponins for an easy meal.
A large, polyp-like creature of the cnidarian genus Pseudocorynactis was observed attacking, and then wholly ingesting a crown-of-thorns starfish of similar size.[43] Continued studies revealed this polyp is able to completely ingest a crown-of-thorns specimen up to 34 cm (13 in) in diameter.[44]

Ecological impact on reefs

Collapsed coral skeletons after A. planci predation and storm
A. planci is one of the most efficient predators on scleractinian corals (stony corals or hard corals). Most coral-feeding organisms only cause tissue loss or localized injuries, but adults of A. planci can kill entire coral colonies.[57]

Popular anxiety to news of high densities of A. planci on the Great Barrier Reef was reflected in many newspaper reports[citation needed] and publications such as Requiem for the Reef, which also suggested that a cover-up of the extent of damage existed.[58] A popular idea arose that the coral and with it whole reefs were being destroyed by the starfish. In fact, as described above, the starfish preys on coral by digesting the surface of living tissue from the coral skeletons. These skeletons persist, together with the mass of coralline algae that is essential for reef integrity. The initial change (first-order effect) is loss of the veneer of living coral tissue.[citation needed]

A. planci is a component of the fauna of most coral reefs and the effects of A. planci populations on coral reefs are very dependent on the population density. At low densities (1 to perhaps 30/hectare) the rate at which coral is being preyed upon by the starfish, is less than the growth rate of the coral, i.e. the surface area of living coral is increasing. The starfish may, however, influence the coral community structure. Because the starfish do not feed indiscriminately they may cause a distribution of coral species and colony sizes that differs from a pattern without them. This is evident by comparison of coral reefs where A. planci has not been found to the more typical reefs with A. planci.[42]

Some ecologists suggest that the starfish has an important and active role in maintaining coral reef biodiversity, driving ecological succession. Before overpopulation became a significant issue, crown-of-thorns prevented fast-growing coral from overpowering the slower-growing coral varieties.[59]

At high densities (outbreaks, plagues), which may be defined as when the starfish are too abundant for the coral food supply, coral cover goes into decline. The starfish must broaden their diet from their preferred species, colony size, and shape. The starfish often aggregate during feeding, even at low densities, but during high densities, the cleared coral patches become almost or completely continuous. Second-order effects exist for these large areas of preyed coral:

The bare coral skeletons are rapidly colonised by filamentous algae.
Large stands of staghorn coral, Acropora species, may collapse and become rubble, reducing the topographical complexity of the reef
Sometimes, the preyed surfaces are further invaded by macroalgae, soft coral, and sponges. These tend to take over reef surfaces for long periods, as alternatives to hard coral communities; once established, they limit recruitment by hard-coral larvae.
Aesthetically, in all the above cases, the reef surface is not as attractive as the living coral surface, but it is anything but dead.

A third-order effect can arise from the invasion by filamentous algae. Animals that depend directly or indirectly on hard corals, e.g. for shelter and food, should lose out, and herbivores and less specialist feeders gain. This likely would be most conspicuous in the fish fauna, and long-terms studies of coral reef-fish communities confirm this expectation.[60][61]
