There are no birds comparable to the t rex
This doesnt say anything about the giant predators

I have seen one open a door.
This is actually pretty adorable.

This.
Stop claiming shit as fact every time new research suggests how things "may" have been.
This too. After listening to the cassowary video on the last page, I don't find it difficult to imagine that a velociraptor, almost twice the size, would sound even less like your typical tweeting bird.

im glad i grew up when dinosaurs were wrong and cool, instead of accurate and stupid.

I mean this is to be expected. Imagine being outside in the park or in the amazon with a ton of birds calls but instead of it being little birds its raptors and the like making plans to hunt your ass down from miles away.

Dinosaurs getting less and less cool by the day...

As mentioned, this is just a possibility, not the de facto truth.
Still, I think it's pretty cool. I've always thought that one of the best Rex scenes was when he sees Genaro on the toilet and kinda coos with a horrifying curiosity.

Animals that can roar: tigers, lions, jaguars and leopards.
Lizards: 0
Birds: 0
Amphibians: 0
No idea why people ever thought dinosaurs could

Just stop calling them dinosaurs. They are all glorified chickens. Let us still have the word dinosaurs for the mythical lizards who roar and don't have feathers and the scientists can continue to work with their chickens and call them dinogallus or whatever the fuck they want to call them.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Yeah, I like that small touch. Felt very authentic and isn't as theatrical as the roar.
It'd be cool to see a movie that treats dinosaurs more like regular animals. Like instead of of the T-Rex biting into Gennaro he just sort of nips at him with curiosity and moves on. Similar to a shark. Not saying that the scene could be improved or anything, it'd just be interesting to see that approach to dinosaurs elsewhere that wasn't a documentary.
Probably because of the more crocodilian depiction. That croc bellow just sort of morphed into the panther roar when it was accepted that dinosaurs were less like reptiles.

I almost wish they would just stop doing research on dinosaurs so we can keep the blissfully ignorant version of them we all have in our heads.

Man, science really is trying to ruin dinosaurs, isn't it?
Scientists really hated Jurassic World that much?

I actually prefer the new T-rex
looks like a Chocoboo
man if only they existed now and were capable of domestication
I was going to say something along these lines. Birds can be pretty terrifying. Birds 10x your size must be shit your pants level terrorizing, especially if they make noises like that.

Yessssss. Keep making dinosaurs cooler, science. I can think of nothing cooler than huge-ass, fucking terrifying feathered birds with huge beaks and talons and that make noises like a mother effing hawk. That is way cooler than the lame dinos in Jurassic Park.

The people annoyed that dinosaurs are being "ruined" by new scientific data that refutes outdated info and Hollywood myths are like people who were annoyed that the sun didn't revolve around the earth.
If you're really into dinosaurs, like the actual science and history of dinosaurs and not just "dinosaurs are cool and scary", this is exciting stuff

Dinosaurs as we knew them as kids and most of our lives are pure fiction. This is amazing. lol

Cows say Moo, Dinosaurs Coo
I always wondered if its possible for an animal to make a digital/distorted sounding noise.
This. If you think new theories/discoveries "ruin" dinosaurs for you, I don't think you ever were interested in dinosaurs at all. You were just interested in some imaginary movie monsters.
Man, some of you guys are really in love with staying ignorant. Not a single thing about this makes dinosaurs less cool, the interview even mentions that they would still be capable of producing deep, scary sounds.
Jurassic Park already had dinosaurs that made high-pitched squeal and hiss sounds, all this really changes is the manner in which those sounds would be produced, while also adding more variety, since it gives them the potential to sound weird and unique. That's cool as hell.

I always show people this picture when I'm explaining dinosaurs and how they used to have feathers.
*cough*
one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I guess I was way too young and hadn't yet devloped a sense for that kind of cheeky humor. spoiler:
it's about giant sexual harrassment chickens

Suuuuure. Finding out your life has been one big lie means you never liked dinosaurs to begin with. You were just a big faker.
This is like Pluto nkt being a planet anymore. Fuck science.

Is the whole shrink-wrapped theory/idea still a thing? Did dinosaurs actually even look the way we think? And I don't just mean feathers

It puts dinosaurs into the majestic category of animals next to cats for me. Early life on Earth was probably an incredibly beautiful sight.

I'm going to join the anti-science folks if researchers are going to continue this dinosaur-neutering agenda. I was unhappy about feathers, but I could deal with it. But now you're going to take roaring away from them?!
