    Oh. Was JP3 back on Site B? I always thought it was on Isla Nublar.

    Funny seeing a film franchise have to ignore new science in order to create a cohesive world.
    They have a massive (and valid in the lore) get-out clause, though. It's a common thread throughout the franchise that they're not really dinosaurs. They've always been hybrids, built using mostly dinosaur DNA. It's talked about at length in the first, and Alan Grant gets all angry about it in the third. Any differences between paleontological science and the animals in the film can be explained in that way.

    In fact, given that a big chunk of the Jurassic World story is the "hybrid" dinosaur, and Trevorrow's insistence on using the classic appearances (fine by me), I'd be surprised if this isn't alluded to in the film:

    - "You made a hybrid dinosaur?!"
    - "They've always been hybrids"
    - Cut to computer monitor with fancier graphics than the cartoon in JP

    Yeah I was thinking that earlier. You're right, using the frog DNA in 1 and the genetic modifications in 4 does give them a get out clause for why they're not feathered etc.

    Actually makes sense that using frog DNA would give them scaly skin!

    I know, I regretted that as soon as I wrote that :D

    You know what I mean though...

    Well they weren't scaley, so in spite of the unforunate choice of words, you're right. That said, one of the other pillars of the franchise is that JP was a view on what John Hammond wanted you to see, not necessarily what was actually happening. If I remember rightly in the books they were spliced with more than just frog DNA - so basically any characteristic you want to pick fault with, scientifically, they can just say "oh, well that is a trait from X animal DNA we used".

    It's pseudo science at best. If you really want to poke holes there's much bigger ones.

    Noone that spends there time on a jurrasic park thread discussing it's scientific merits is poking holes anywhere.

    Wow, those teeth aren't f-ed up enough, are they?

    Half bulldog/half tyrannosaur?

    Perhaps they made a Tyrannosaur with really big arms.

    @Ged42 Oh man. There's about 4 people on this forum that will get that.

    No HUD. The future, yo.

    There's a full picture leaked from a toy box art, or something. Looks pretty mean in that.

    Hmm. I was pretty confident about this, what with the cast and director, but the more I see the more doubts I have about it.

    Hoping it turns out great though.

    I'm thinking this is going to be some good old dumb fun.

    Still love that Raptor shot.
