First thing you need to do is SUBSCRIBE! 😁And Make sure you watch till the end to see what would an accurate T-rex do in some of the most iconic scenes in the franchise!
-
People give Jurassic a lot of hate for their inaccuracies, but the rex was actually pretty darn accurate for the time. Even by today's standards it really isn't that bad (except for it's speed).
-
I think having a 40 ft T Rex silently walk up to you and "roar" at you with you not hearing anything but wind as your whole body starts to vibrate from the infrasound is a lot more terrifying than the stomping, trumpeting entrance we get in the movies.
-
I love how the name “Tyrant Lizard King” just becomes more and more fitting as the years go on and discoveries are made
-
I love how with every single passing year, the notion of the T-rex being the ultimate predator the planet earth have ever seen becomes more and more a fact.
-
Finally someone gives credit to the novel. T-rex couldn't see unmoving objects, because of the frog's DNA. This tiny detail was absent in all the movies.
-
I love the inverse here, where science is like, “ Oh no, a real life T-Rex would be so much worse for anything unlikely enough to come across their path”
-
Now I want to write a horror novel about an accurate tyrannosaurus that acts like a silent horror movie villain similar to Jason Vorhees.
-
The ingen T-Rex roaring all the time, knowing they can't see what doesn't move, is a really cool theory I've never heard, and I've been a lifelong fan even building a replica JP Jeep. Thank you.
-
The fact that the real life T-Rex most likely had the best vision of any terrestrial animal to ever exist means there would be no running or hiding from Rexy in real life.
-
Their stealth factor alone automatically makes them more terrifying than the movie version.
-
This narrator should be doing monster truck rally radio spots. SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY.
-
Trex abilities and weaponry is like fine vintage wine. Every year its reputation as the king gets enhanced Pretty soon it will be called emperor of the tyrant lizards. what a beast.
-
What really fascinates me is the accurate Rex's stealth. That alone makes it scarier and so much more cooler 👌
-
I love how the novel actually elaborated that the t rex eyesight was indeed a side effect of the frog dna. Frogs' vision is indeed based on movement.
-
17:43 She tried to reason with Rexy too, but Rexy wasn’t having it. Sue would be a different story.
-
If the t-rex had been more realistic in Jurassic Park, it is likely that hybrids with its DNA (like the Indominus Rex) would be heavier, more agile and with a stronger bite, which would lead to even more powerful creatures...
-
I really love this analysis as it goes to show why people shouldn’t complain so much about inaccuracies. InGen were not making fully accurate dinosaurs and the dinosaurs they made were mishmashed with other animal DNA causing some major side effects that would hinder them to their full potential. Even Masrani’s dinosaurs were just as mishmashed.
-
Honestly I'd love to see a rex in JP actually win a fight against another carnivore. Like without some stupid outside help but with all that, it's likely never to happen.
-
I love how faithful this video is to science, you even cite papers (though you don't name them, as it's an entertainment video, and that would be absurd and slow things down) But you do credit a consultant in the comments. This is surprising frankly given the announcer's style. They sound sensational, like a proper wrestling match announcer, but are faithful to science, given the topic of the video. Super cool!
