One does not simply reject When Dinosaurs Roamed America. Those raptors were perfectly accurate for the time the documentary was made.

That's something that frustrates me, when people start ripping on stuff without actually knowing anything about it (No offense Nomis)

People who complain about "lack of feathers" on dinosaur genera that we have no evidence were feathered. Don't get me wrong, I like to see feathers on as many dinosaurs as possible, but it's not exactly the end of the world for me if a dinosaur with no evidence of integument is depicted as scaly.

I'm not slow! That's just my moe!

even tho its nice to see feathers wherever possible, I do sort-of get what you mean
I agree in the cases of things like hadrosaurs and sauropods, but not theropods

I consider there to be enough evidence for all "higher theropods" to have some form of feathers, from maniraptors to spinosaurs, I think they all had feathers in some form, and earlier theropods most likely did also

Theropods, yes (except Carnotaurus and similar ceratosaurians). Hadrosaurs and sauropods, probably not.

Rat snake is love... Rat snake is life

And Thyreophorans... Probably don't have feather as well.

Pull my finger!

Most definitely, since it was a theropod. Thyreophorans would include Ankylosaurus and Euoplocephalus.

When people call an Ankylosaur's armor a 'shell'. It's not even like a turtle's shell!

Beipiaosaurus was found with feathers, so yes, they were feathered.
