its perfectly fine accuracy wise, thats still less feathers than yutyrannus had

What is with you people and yutyrannus?

I think it's still reasonably accurate in terms of being within the range of what is theoretically plausible.  I just don't find it particularly naturalistic or believable.  I'd say it's more a question of artistry than accuracy.  By comparison, the Jurassic Park series, even when their dinosaurs were wildly inaccurate, they were still fairly convincing animals.

What is with you people and yutyrannus?

any discussion of large feathered tyrannosaurs would be incomplete without someone bringing up Yutyrannus.  Don't act surprised.

No one ever brings up eotyrannus.

[Yutyrannus]

No one ever brings up eotyrannus.

That's because there is no evidence of feathers in Eotyrannus. I agree, though, it is awesome .

BTW, Yutyrannus is undoubtedly one of the most important discoveries in recent years, as well as Kulindadromeus, so you really shouldn't be surprised when either come up in an argument about whether or not certain dinosaurs had feathers.

yutyrannus is probably the best preserved single fossil of a large theropod dinosaur we have(?)
and it shows that very large animals could be fully covered in feathers, even in a fairly warm climate

[Megalosaurus]

I keep out of the debate and just say that those models are too blue  .
There's an impresive array of colors in reptiles and birds, but this seems too much blue & red.
The plot is not interesting to me, but if this comes to America (I mean the continent) I'll see it.

[Yutyrannus]

Also, can we move the feather debate into the thread for it?

Why are they so important?

I would think that's pretty obvious, Yutyrannus showed that large theropods can and do have feathers (also note that Yutyrannus is more primitive than say Tyrannosaurus is); Kulindadromeus appears to show that feathers evolved before the Saurichian/Ornithichian split occurred (although I myself think they evolved in basal archosaurs far before the evolution of Dinosauromorpha).

See  that's all dinosaurology has became, feather finding, if it has feathers, it's big news.

Of course, that's the coolest part. Anyway, please move this discussion the Feathering Proof thread.

I don't see anything cool about it at all.

Okay, again I refer you to the second part of my comment (you know the bit that's bolded?).

Of course it is big news, it completely changes how we thought dinosaurs looked Why can't you understand that? Actually, forget it, I am more curious why you've got to start this debate in every thread? All you are doing is trolling and derailing threads, you know what thread to go to for the feather debate.

Well, if he didn't know that he shouldn't post it in every thread, he should now, I told him like five times today. He just seems to be ignoring it.

[stargatedalek]

its important because its news that changes the entire way we see and think about dinosaurs, other than the new spinosaurus and deinocheirus not much big view changing news has happened recently outside of feathers

it doesn't really matter what people think is "cool", if you want your dinosaurs to be strictly "cool" than keep your fictional "cool" dinosaurs in science fiction movies where they belong, don't go around claiming they are accurate when they aren't

Exactly (although I actually think feathered dinosaurs are way cooler, UDK "think" not to be confused with "fact" as you keep doing).

It's almost like some people really want to be spoonfed this stuff before they'll get it.  But then somewhere along the line that turns to force-feeding and it just becomes a massive waste of everybody's time.

I agree, I'm getting sick of it.
