If true;

I assume it means they're just wild and hang around the old park.

Pretty much what I think is going on. The raptors weren't cloned for Jurassic World, because the owners knew from Jurassic Park that they were far too smart and aggressive to be handled safely by staff and viewed by the public. These guys are either from Isla Sorna and found away to Nubler or they were already on Nublar and the park owners just didn't realize they were still alive.
 
That one study just suggests that feathers were even more widespread than we've known from countless other studies for years.

To completely ignore what happened in the last 20 years is ridiculous, no matter how much they wished it wasn't true because it doesn't fit with image and preconception.

It's almost like Jurassic World is a Hollywood movie and not a dinosaur documentary

Then make a film about an alternate history or a different planet.

Creative license is absolutely fine, but at least somewhat bed it in reality.
 
This feather nonsense is just hilariously sad to me. Is there any other movie franchise where fans go apeshit over the accuracy of scientific details?

Let's get upset over Back to the Future for incorrectly portraying temporal mechanics! Let's riot because because the Ghostbusters' proton packs break the laws of physics! How dare Lucas make a Star Wars movie that has sound effects in space!!!

It's a science FICTION movie.

These aren't dinos in the movies. They never had complete DNA strands. Whose to say the geneticists didn't exsise the gene that causes feathers when they cloned them?

Fair enough, I guess we'll see if there's some sort of storyline around it or if they just ignore it.

As for the general scientific accuracy in films, imo it would add to the stories and immersion in most cases.

If you added scientific accuracy, it would be sheep world and it'd feature the skeleton of one dead sheep. Because the entire idea of how cloning works in these movies is bullshit.

Yeah, it would be cool if Wu mentions feathers in Jurassic World and how they suppressed that trait to please the public. That would make Jurassic World both scientifically accurate and consistent with the look of the first three movies.

Watch that video. Watch the part where the film makers specifically said they wanted the most accurate dinosaurs ever seen. Watch the part where they HIRED EXPERTS as consultants for their movie.

Now tell me, did Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, or Star Wars hire actual experts as consultants for their movie for accuracy?

I agree on this, its sad that they are not "updating" the jurassic movies with what we know today.

Well, we already know that velociraptors and dilophasaurus aren't even close and were a piece of fiction. The feather thing didn't get big until later. You could say that "updating" the dinosaurs now would kind of ruin continuity. The fact that raptors had feather quills in the third movie meant that they evolved in just a few years. I find that more silly.

I find it embarrassing that they completely ignore science.

I don't think it's embarrassing but it is kinda sad, the books and the first movies were responsible for getting a lot of kids into real dinosaurs and palaeontology and other sciences. I think a significant number of those kids never would have persevered if the first thing they'd learnt was "Oh that's not what real dinosaurs looked like".

Couldn't you explain away that inconsistency in them being engineered differently? I mean the ones in the Lost World look different from those in Jurassic Park.

I understand the a higher level of accuracy on details is a quality of the JP series, but the bottom line is that this is a 20 year-old franchise and they can't simply change the look of the dinosaurs to something radically different. If this was a fresh reboot, then they would have the freedom needed to go with a radical redesign that includes feathers.

Just because they hired experts, doesn't mean they are going to be 100% accurate. Just look at the first film. The cloning process they explain is total bull. Raptors are not that large. Dr. Grant is shown digging up a Raptor in Montana, USA; however, that species is found in central Asia. Brachiosaurs can't stand of 2 legs-- impossible. Dilophosaurs didn't shoot venom as pray or have a neck frill. The list goes on and on...

This is why the feather debate is so silly.

Well I guess you could say that... Feather growth is a bit extreme though, I would think.
 
Nothing shown at comic con.
Man wth the poster was cool but not enough to be the only thing shown.

I'm kinda pissed off they didn't even bother with the super-predictable "T-Rex footstep in the mud with the water rumbling" teaser I totally expected.
