They promised he would be a dinosaur, and he became a chicken (sandwich)?
I wouldn’t fall for the same trick. Gotta specify which dinosaur or youll get something lame like a brontosaur.

Honestly the monkey’s paw wouldn’t have to do anything. Back when we had dinosaurs the earth had significantly more oxygen in the atmosphere which helped them be as large as they were. Most dinosaurs would probably slowly suffocate to death today from oxygen deprivation

Nope. The oxygen ratio in the atmosphere varied and included long periods with comparable levels as today.
The most important part was their biology, that helped move the oxygen around the bodies of the massive giants. Remember that while there were massive giants, the blue whale is the largest animal ever known and they live today alongside dolphins and otters just like how dinosaurs came in a wide variety of sizes all living at the same time.

I could accept being a t-rex that gets tired after running, plenty of humans live meaningful lives with asthma, despite not being t-rexes.
