Freaky
That statement should start with “in the past”. Recent depictions I’ve seen have them fully fleshed and feathered using up to date methods to create as accurate as possible models.

We even have ways to figure out their colouring in some cases now! Like this sinosauropteryx:

Maybe they don’t fit under the term of “paleoartists” (they are artists of Paleolithic creatures) but the most popular modern depictions of dinosaurs are presumably the Jurrasic World movies, and I think they are almost universally lacking plumage. I’ve only seen the first, but the images I’ve seen I don’t have any feathered dinos. So, no. This is still an ongoing issue.

That post is of course a billion years old itself and the images created by shrink-wrapping are still in people’s heads. Feathers on dinosaurs are rarely what people think of first as well and the notion has been around for quite a while.

Feathers have been found on dinosaur fossils only “recently”, with the discovery of Sinosauropteryx in 1996Image

I mean the lizard dinosaurs are everywhere. Every toy, movie, even in schools.

crazy how there’s billion dollar movies that game embarrassingly incorrect dinosaurs in them

Movies often align to the popular perception if a thing rather than reality. Otherwise you’re watching a documentary.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 hours ago
it’s not like documentaries aren’t plenty popular, that recent series on dinosaurs (walking with dinosaurs, i think?) with our homeboy David Attenborough was hyped as fuck, no cap, on god, etc

Is it all the dinosaurs? Or just ones from specific eras that likely had feathers? Ill try to find ou5 myself later. But if anybody has a link to something akin to “feathered dinos for dummies” id love to check it out

I hope what you’re implying is that swan feathers are a suit made to deceive humans from their obvious lizard people pet agenda, and that Big Feather needs to be held accountable. I’ve already booked guests for the podcast and have 17 articles in my substack,

I want to see a Jurassic Park movie where it’s just geese and swans breaking out of captivity, and mildly annoying everyone.
