I love dinosaurs. One of my main sonas is a feathery fuckwit named Mossy Feathers. I’m strongly considering going back to school for paleontology.
All that to say that I never watched Jurassic Park growing up because my parents thought it would scare me away from dinosaurs. I will continue to never watch it because they refuse to even make a “feathered cut” of the movie.
As you may imagine, this is inexcusable for a company the size of Disney. I am personally offended for both for myself and dino-kind. To add insult to injury, to the best of my memory, they have publically stated that they have no interest in updating the dinosaur visuals and instead will proceed to portray dinosaurs unrealistically. Imagine if humans were regularly portrayed as simple-minded cavemen who shout “unga bunga” and bang sticks together. Then research discovered that, in spite of current world events, this is not in fact an accurate portrayal of humanity; yet the media continued to portray humans in this way because “it’s scarier and more entertaining”.
This is speciesist and it is not okay. You can do better. We all deserve better.

Bruh. My sona has feathers because that’s what theropods had, and quite frankly, the idea is kinda pretty. The furry element to my comment was supposed to be for humor, not kink. “Us prehistoric birds are just as pretty as our extant brethren and it should be a crime to portray us as anything else uwu” kinda thing.
Here’s the thing though. Feathered dinosaurs can be just as scary, if not more so than their highly scientifically inaccurate counterparts.
One thing to consider is this: there are several modern species of birds which can mimic a broad range of sounds, varying from other bird calls, human speech, car alarms, heavy machinery, and so on. Furthermore, the birds capable of mimicry often also have the ability to associate these sounds with specific contexts, and perform these sounds while anticipating a specific outcome; for an example: a parrot asking for a cracker because it expects to receive a cracker when it asks for one.
Additionally, due to their relation to birds, theropods would have been less likely to roar and more likely to chirp. Sounds silly and cute right? Well, as an animal gets larger, the noises they make typically get slower and lower in pitch. Try slowing and pitching down the sound of a chicken going bwak-ack or the call of a loon and tell me that isn’t really fucking unsettling. Hell, just the unedited call of a loon itself is fucking disturbing if you imagine it’s coming from a voracious carnivore and not a waterbird.
Also, you can’t tell me that making dinosaurs act even more bird-like wouldn’t be even more terrifying: youtu.be/yS71VeptuEc

Since you asked though, Zootopia really should have an unrated cut that includes scenes of Judy getting railed by Nick’s fat, knotted fox cock. c:

I have no idea if this is satire or not but I unironically love both the idea of your dinosaur character(?) and that YouTube clip.
Do you have art/bio for your sona? If I ever play D&D again this may well inspire me to update my Dragonborn bard to have feathers. /gen

It’s half satire. I honestly didn’t get to watch Jurassic Park as a kid because my parents knew I loved dinosaurs, but also that I was also a very timid child. As a result, I didn’t get to watch it because they thought it might scare me away from my love of dinosaurs (other things in my life caused me to lose interest anyway, but I’m slowly rekindling it). Now, I honestly struggle to enjoy dinosaur media that doesn’t portray them with feathers. Beautiful and terrifying is, imo, vastly superior to “I’M HERE TO SCARE”.
The furry flavor was mainly for fun.
Also, kinda. I’m working on updating her design, but here’s a fairly old screenshot of my VRC avatar.

If you’d like, I could recommend some e621/e926 tags and artwork. Be warned that you will get lewd stuff on e621 if I just give you tags, but you could use e926 with the same tags if you don’t wanna get blasted by uncensored cloaca (e926 is literally just a front end for e621 that forces the safe filter on).

That’s fair. I watched JP when I was 6 and had themed nightmares for a while, so your parents were probably right. That said, I still loved the movie anyway and also still loved dinosaurs so you may have been similar if you were super into them.
Yeah the discovery of dino feathers changed the game. Ultra-giant pissed off birds is way more imaginable, too. Take a territorial chicken or emu and make it the size of a rhino? That’s a horror movie.
Oh she’s adorable! I love her 💚 I’d love SFW art/tags, thank you so much.
