it was amphibian DNA I think, which would also not promote feathery growths

I'm a girl, and you're
gnomes, and it's like
what? Yikes.
Jurassic World specifically says they prevented the dinosaurs from having feathers because it would appeal to the masses more.

The dinosaurs have feathers thing has always felt like nerds just pretending to be outraged by this grievous error so they can show off how very very smart they are and how much they know about real dinosaurs to other nerds. Nobody actually cares, shut up.

Also they recently found out the T-Rex didn't have feathers, so the coolest dinosaur is safe.

I dunno I don't think it was that surprising. As soon as Jurassic Park said "dinosaurs are related to birds" I was like "then where are their feathers?". And then it turns out they probably had feathers. Maybe.

It's only being made a big deal of because it's the kind of abrupt "everything you know is wrong" shift in knowledge that causes controversy, generating more clicks on news articles about it. Hell, we're ranting about it right now.

Thanks for bringing this down a couple notches. All the hype was starting to get to me, and I really did not want to pay movie theater prices to go watch yet another goddamn superhero flick. This puts me firmly back into rental territory.

i have an annual ritual where around Christmas I get drunk on mulled wine and catch up with all the Marvel movies that made their way to Netflix that year while wrapping gifts. I could never pay money to see a comic book movie but I'm glad that other people do so that there's enough money in the business for good movies to keep being made. God Bless
