What annoys you about paleontology?; Rant on about moronic theories, complaints, or just animals that annoy you.

Worse is that they use "Derr but Titan Boa isn't dino herp derp" as an excuse. Oh but Prestosuchus, Quetzalcoatlus, Parahelicoprion, and Mawsonia are dinosaurs, are they? Why is Titanoboa suddenly so out of place? Oh yeah, that's right. Because it's a snake, and therefore the unholy spawn of Satan. TSL will obviously be ruined forever if this demonic spawn is allowed entrance into the game. :P

I don't get this hate, Giant snakes don't look like bad videogame enemies to me (the one in Resident Evil 6 was a nice addiction IMO).

Even if they were antagonists, they are still personally beautiful to me. Look at Ernie, though probably I've gone too far ahem

I'm also now quite annoyed of dinosaur faceoffs. They have no purpose! Edmarka (I know, it is nomen dubium, yet the guy just wrote it anyway) VS Giganotosaurus? Deinonychus VS Pyroraptor? Yutyrannus VS Cryolophosaurus? More worst, the animals are put in the position as JP animals. How would we know about their ability and skills, with no confirmation? And it becomes more pointless than it is before....

The worst part is that most of them don't even realize how childish such scenarios are. This is their idea of a legitimate paleontological debate! :P

Well, an irrational fear of snakes is fairly widespread (regardless of how mind-bendingly awesome the snake is in reality). And seemingly, the primal fear of snakes has even slithered (geddit) its way into the TSL form.

Well, to give them some credit, who WOULDN'T be terrified of a giant 50ft anaconda?

Yes, but it's terrifying in an awesome way, not in the "I FRIGGIN' HATE SNAKES KILL IT WITH FIRE!!" light that a few forum members seem to view it in.

Here's the Titanoboa BTW, since I assume you haven't seen it yet:

And about people who pair up dinosaurs together in fights: Let them be. If they wanna see which dinosaur would win in a fight, let them. They're not hurting anybody.

Perhaps not, but they're just annoying and childish. :P

I want to rip off those stripes and give it some more feathers xD
or kill it, whichever comes first

I liked the duck based austro from concept art, but tiger stripes just feel cheesy to me
and regardless of size a maniraptoran needs more feathers than they have given it, kind of a shame amongst all of these other beautifully accurate designs
