Evolving creatures from earth.

Yeah I think that's the problem. It's overused ...
I mean if it would just loose a little bit of popularity then it would be an awesome dinosaur :D

I can certainly see WHY people like it so much, but it would be nice if less overused and equally impressive theropods could have the spotlight every now and again.

I'm confused when I see raptors' tails bend very well.
Weren't they stiff? Or I was wrong..?

They were actually rather bendy. Not exactly flexible like a lizard's tail or another dinosaur's tail. Muscles alone couldn't bend them.

But if a raptor wanted to physically pull its tail around so that it could groom its tail tip, it was bendy enough to allow that.

The ungodly amount of complaining surrounding JW dinosaurs. Yes, they're are inaccurate, want a medal for pointing it out? Honestly it's worse than the inaccuracies themselves. Save the real vinegar for documentaries that don't get things right.

When every new dinosaur found is called T. rex's cousin.

Like come on, did his grandparents really have that many kids?

Even if it weren't, the dinosaurs wouldn't have suddenly sprouted feathers since the previous films.

It also annoys me when newly discovered theropod dinosaurs instantly become T-rex cousins. You can be writing an article about Chilesaurus and say: "it's one of the most interesting dinosaurs found in South America. Despite being a relative of T.rex, its teeth were adapted for eating plants".

Wasn't Chilesaurus a basal tetanurine?

The scales aren't even remotely accurate either, looking more like fish scales than hadrosaur scales.

When people equate famous with bland, especially in regards to T. rex.
Pretty bland with that gigantic torso, surprisingly large amount of fossils, and unusually robust skull and jaw not seen in most other giant mega predator theropods (Barring other tyrannosaurids, though AFAIK none match T. rex's beefiness). Not to mention that it is the only feathered one if you are picky with where you place feathers in Theropoda.
