sadly i agree it's over loved, if it were me i would mention or show another theropod say i don't know maybe torvosaurusΒ in this show the torvosaur in dinosaur revolution was bad ass and it should've been the poster boy for it

mmmhmmm, i would love more members of the theropod family getting loved, say alioramus or dakotaraptor

Meanwhile, every other predator tries to kill it, which they would succeed in a millisecond.Β

Hell one megalodon should be enough to kill it in a millisecond (the shark is over twelve times as large). Compared to the largest and most successful apex predator ever T. rex is insignificant.

Aye I see what you mean.

If you're going to treat a predator this way at least do it to one that deserves to be called the ultimate badass. Even among land predators tyrannosaurs are mediocre compared to carnosaurs.

Oh I agree, their popularity is sickening to me.

You have to see how Planet Dinosaurs treated tyrannosaurs. Wipe out all other large predators...seriously?

Oh trust me, I saw that and I wasn't impressed with their logic one bit -_-.

I went berserk. If you are trying not to suck up and you deliberately skipped T. rex, you shouldn't say that BS. When supposedly accurate sources are biased towards it, you have no hope.
I have a documentary idea, much of which involves tyrannosaurs (especially tyrannosaurid tyrannosaurs) getting killed/eaten/ shown as sucking in many ways to other predators.

Not the biggest, or deadliest, or the most advanced.
Only remarkable thing is its bite and that is not as deadly as people think.

Seriously, this was an underdog that was kept down by carnosaurs until a mass extinction happened, and even then tyrannosaurs were prey for crocodiles.
This is why I'm mad at PD-even though it didn't show this species, it blatantly said tyrannosaurs were superior, and wiped out the carnosaurs with superior intellect (in reality both groups would be intelligent) and bitepower (which actually makes their bite less deadly....).
The book said carnosaurs were simple beasts that couldn't hold a candle to the tyrannosaurs.
I hate PD. If you are trying to raise awareness on carnosaurs by excluding T. rex, why say that?

Because tyrannosaurs had avian intelligence whereas the carnosaurs had crocodilian intelligence.Β The King is not the biggest, but with its brainpower to hunt in family packs and the most powerful bite of any land animal, it didn't need to be.

Avian and crocodilian intelligence is at the same level.Β Crocodiles use tools.
The supposedly higher intellect of T. rex is a myth. Just because its brain cavity was larger does not mean it was smarter.

Look up Dino Gangs.
For that matter, look up Dr. Witmer and see what HE has to say!
π: 0 β©: 1
Because everyone believes that myth even many scientists.
Crocs have small brains. Crocs use tools via learning.
π: 0 β©: 1
Crocs hunt in random, unorganized gangs.Β Most birds actually form family structures.
π: 0 β©: 1
Crocs do hunt in organized packs at times. And birds usually are the ones that hunt in gangs (there are some exceptions)
And I was talking about the fact crocodiles use tools (bait), which debunks your claim of small brains leading to stupidity.

You know, there are reasons some people just outright hate you, so I'd appreciate it if you stop spamming my comments and replies.

Don't do the same with raptors and spinosaurs either.

Wouldn't even dream of it.

It's not the Rex's fault; he cannot help that he represents the pinnacle of coelurosaurian therapod technology - the penultimate hunter and king of its domain. Just looking at the skeleton of one of those bruisers should give a clue as to why it's so popular with all who see it. But yes, it is given a great deal of disproportionate attention compared to all the other wonderful examples of Dinosaurs out there.

It is far from the penultimate hunter. It is only about as advanced or intelligent as every other top predator (which is as far as you can go in terms of being advanced), it is far from the biggest (Largest top predator is Megalodon, followed by Libyatan), and it is limited to smaller terrestrial prey (the sauropods that carnosaurs took, and the sharks spinosaurs hunted, were off limits)

I do know what you mean, and I'm glad you can see where I'm coming from.

I agree. For as much as I like T.rex, Media really needs to find another Large Theropod to use for a bit. What happened to the interest in Allosaurus, guys?
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed. I'd rather we, as a society, βgrow upβ, so we can appreciate more then one thing at a given time. Tyrannosaurus is a lovely animal, but it's place in the food chain doesn't make it any better or worse then any other species.

Meanwhile, Giganotosaurus is crying in a corner somewhere.
Nice Tyrannosaurus pic, though probably not scientifically accurate it makes it look fierce.
π: 0 β©: 3
To be accurate, every other predator is plotting revenge in that corner.Β

*Spino is crying with Giga....*
Nice pic.

I feel Giganotosaurus' pain.
Oh I know it has accuracy issues. But thanks anyways

That's a rather average answer

funny this is that dinosaur revolution was actually an awesome documentary with many kinds of dinos, well not really a doco but close, it is also hilarious at times.

give dilophosaurus some love. best triassic dino ever!

Jurrasic actually

fail on my part

The "raptors", yeah >_>.
I couldn't help but compare how many people treat Tyrannosaurus to Chuck Freckin' Norris and the fade of, "Chuck Norris so tough" crap. It gets annoying.

I meant Cryolophosaurus, but 'raptors' work too, I guess.
