![]() Say what you will about it, but this Therizinosaurus reconstruction is awesome! It looks ridiculous, and yet perfectly plausible and realistic. Edited by CyborgIguana, Aug 18 2014, 09:45 AM.

other than its broken wrists I'd say the Dinosaur King therizinosaurus ranks amongst my favorite therizinosaurus reconstructions going by design Spoiler: click to toggle

I dislike it because of how the feathers seem to stick right to its skin. If we look at modern birds, feathers do not perfectly follow the animals contour, they always obscure it. |

Not bad. I still like AY's Theri better, though. |

Animation style? It is how they made the model. They could just have modeled it with proper feathers, they did not. |

its still better than most models from the show ![]() giving it really "stand up" feathers was probably more work than the animators felt like putting into a kids show

Why is it being for kids and excuse not to try to be educational? You are by far the most impressionable at that age, not to mention, most people loose their interest in dinosaurs when they grow up, and only ever gained "knowledge" on the subject from back then. Of course I am happy it has feathers, but that does not mean I wont criticize it if it is not accurate. Edited by trisdino, Aug 18 2014, 11:30 AM.

And how much accuracy should be expected from a show with superpowered dinosaurs that are the universe's equivalent of Pokemon? |

As much as possible. Just because part of the show is inaccurate, does not mean all of it is. In Narnia, it is obviously fantasy, but the trees, small, non-anthropomised animals, and overall environments are still shown as normal. In the show, the dinosaurs themselves are never stated as being fantasy, hell, they are directly stated to be real dinosaurs from back then, so there is an expectation that they are real. Kids are not going to go "ah well, it is a fantasy, so obviously it is fake", they will, and do, suck it all in. |

I actually do agree with you on something. I think kids show that are constructed around dinosaurs as the main theme should be as accurate as posible even if they just mean to enterntain with battles and suchs. Like trisdino said most of us were introduce to dinosaurs during childhood and most of the kids lost interest in them later on. If they at least can adquire some up to date info from that early exposure to the subject then that will be useful to change the image of retro-dinosaurs that is still prevalent today.
