Velociraptors are still terrifying though. Apparently they dug their talons into prey while flapping their wings to stay above their target.

Who's to say what modern science thinks a t-Rex looked like is even true? I'm pretty sure it's all hogwash and they're just pulling the whole small and feathery thing out of their ass.

Scientists aren't infallible. Maybe decades from now they'll find out they were wrong about dinosaurs having feathers after all.

True story is that scientists arent able to accurately discern their color. Im sure they were earth tones to blend in while hunting, but it would be cool if they were Yoshi colors.

Unicorns might be real and we might find out gravity doesn't really exist. That isn't what we know now or can even hypothesize though, so who gives a damn?

There's literally actual proof dinosaurs had feathers, we're not going to find out anything different "decades" from now.

I mean shit the idea that dinosaurs could have had feathers has been around since the 1860s/1870s.

Those were probably just actual birds. And when I say actual birds, I mean with beaks and shit.

The idea that T-rex had feathers is bogus

I love how "T.rex had lips on the side of its mouth" equates to "T.rex's mouth was a giant set of side lips with a couple of teeth in the middle." Come on, reptiles in the modern world don't big mammalian lips which encompass 60% of their mouths. Nor do birds.

I think they're deliberately fucking with the image of the T.rex.

They want it to be more like some sort of majestic emu than a deadly carnivore. I don't believe for a second that tyrannosaurus looked anything remotely similar to that and that's even granting the possibility that it might've had feathers.

While this is abolutely possible, it's interesting that people can distrust Mr Scientist for his new way of seeing things, but still completely trust his old perception.
