Paleontologist Reviews Dinosaur Movie Scenes | Vanity Fair 

Didnt let you? Tf its up to you what u go study

​@@Alex-ff1mk Some cultures are different. As a child who doesn't know better, you are shamed into making choices your family wants. And if you move countries like I did, the language barrier and lack of money will dictate what studies you have access to.

your parents watched Friends and said....nahhh ahhhhh

@@herodontus listen. it's like that where I live too. But I failed so many times at becoming what they wanted me to become (getting into uni for STEM) that they just told me to get into any course at uni, whatever the cost. So I got into what I wanted in the end lol

​@@JazzyCrumbles I should have done this 😂

Yes this, thank you lol

He doesn’t know the T.Rex is called the T.Rex’s monster it’s a common misconception because the film is more popular than the boom

@@magicman3163 I am puzzled

@@theant2266 Its a joke referencing Frankenstein. Frankstein was the scientist. The monster was called Frankenstein's monster

I neeeeed his shirt.

Unlike another guy I watched who critiqued everything without giving context but yet still gave each clip he watched like 7/10s or 5/10s even though he hated how the dino's were depicted

true!! many don't consider how facts known now weren't common knowledge back then and how frequently subjects like paleontology and other scientific fields change!

Im offended that he didnt talk about dinosaur train

Tbf, it helps that there's dialogue in the Jurassic Park franchise (both the books and the movies) that explain the dinosaurs were never going to be completely accurate dinosaurs, because of their frog DNA. The dinosaurs being mish-mashed clones of dinosaurs instead of real dinosaurs helps people in the franchise be creative with their dinos! ^^

Obviously no dinosaur would have won 100% of its battles, but the most OP terrestrial predator that nature ever created probably would have had a higher win rate than almost every other dinosaur.

Most sauropods would win in a fight versus the tyrant lizard, or most non sauropod-dinosaurs for that matter

@@theangrysuchomimus5163 most non sauropod dinosaurs would lose to a tyrannosaurus.

most sauropods would win yeah but majority of non sauropod dinosaurs would lose to an apex predator like t-rex.@@theangrysuchomimus5163

Triceratops would turn T-Rex into a pin cushion

Lmao 😂 facts!

Ditto.

No, that would be Bob Bakker.

You could say that he is a paleontologist

Palaeontologist

Literally just saw your comment as he was saying it in the video 🤣🤣

The dino can comeback for you tho..

I would be really sad if no one mentioned it.Glad you did

@@luigiconder6113 yummy!

Holy crap, I’m dying over here! Why do you have to say such accurate silliness while I’m drinking my coffee!

For some reason, I thought of Dom Deluise, when I saw the professor.

@@elultimo102 If youre under this channel, i assume youre a Science-Fan?

There's an old joke amongst hikers. I don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than you.

Advice that really works for anything that's trying to eat/kill you. Be faster than the slowest person.

@@Bad_Hombre_ADK I heard the same-ish thing exists among surfers. "Always swim with a buddy, never alone. And make sure your buddy is a slower swimmer than you"

@@Rico_71 I mean, for surfers, being a slow swimmer isn't going to make much of a difference. If a shark wants you dead, you're not going to see it coming in the first place. You just have to make sure your friend is easier to mistake for a seal.

@@OperatorError0919 You might be talking about great white sharks, who are mostly stealth hunters, other sharks not so much Normally the shark is curious at first, it starts making passes to analyze you, getting closer each time, until it decides to taste test you once it feels confident that you won't react aggressively, and you won't be able to notice that change in behavior until it's too late In this surfer scenario the most important thing is to stay calm and not make splashes, sharks don't attack everything if they don't recognize it, but panic is something they recognize very well, and knowing how to control your fear will make you less likely to be targeted than the other potentially panicking surfers around you

I think the book says the same.

That's kinda my guess. Since they can't get the purest DNA to copy.

Also, for both theme parks. Dinosaurs were made to be scary, not accurate

Yep, Jurassic Park (and the writers) knew the dinos they described would not be accurate forever and made sure that when the time came they had an explanation.

Yeah, I get why paleontologists feel the need to point out inaccuracies with those movies and/or books. But I respectfully tend to feel the need to scream at them that they're genetically altered. They're *not* supposed to be pure dinosaurs. So the complaint that they aren't like what the common theory of what the dinosaurs were like at the time they were released is actually kind of pointless.

Thanks for sharing!

How much did the old guy or Vanity Faire pay you to write that comment? I would love to write nothing at all and get paid for it 👍

@@dverarde84 Did you have him too? I'm just starting his class

@@dverarde84omg so mean he’s like one of the best professors I’ve had. Very memorable

They were basically the Compys only slightly bigger lol

They really are just large chickens

😂

That's what the fat kid on first Jurassic park would say.

Deinonychus is basically what the movie dinosaurs are supposed to be, but they liked the name Velociraptor instead.

Hello do you believe in Jesus

@TigerBiteCK Why?

So I just need to be faster than Will Ferrell, got it.

@@connorlancaster7541 I believe in The Dragon Prince more.

That’s AWESOME

Sure

Absolute legend

I saw the thumbnail and went straight to the comment to see how long it would take for someone to point out that he's a real life Hagrid

....and about as believable

Im in the same class right now, easily my favorite.

Cool, the guy who this guy talked about, Jack Horner was one of my professors in college.

I was actually just about to post that I would love to take a class or just sit and talk with this dude. Just a real genuine vibe.

I would love to take a class like that 😁

There are very few things that is better than a college professor that enjoys their job and tries to make their class enjoyable

You went for the lowest hanging fruit

Lol

I thought I was the only one 😂

He would be a great Hagrid.

@@oliverjabroni9912 I picked the same fruit, was delicious!

That's because most of it was robotics and people in suits. The t Rex was actually a large robot (that often malfunctioned during the filming especially during the rain scenes - many people on set said it would "come to life" in between filming) and the raptors were dudes in suits lol look up some of the stories, it's pretty fascinating

Fun fact. You sound like Sheldon. Good for you!

Funny Fact

Sounds like bait and switch. You should have withdrawn.

Aww that sucks. This guy does have a naturally good cadence of speaking and presents information thoughtfully. He's probably a great lecture professor!

Can confirm is a very entertaining lecturer.

Do you have to know Latin to be a paleontologist In the event you’re asked to name a Dinosaur?

@@ksoundkaiju9256 I mean you could probably just google the translation if you wanted

That’s pretty cool!

same!

Sure he was 🤣🤣

I mean, that's only if you understand Latin.

@@itsthebiggiecheese9213 and greek...

That's correct, they based them on Deinonychus, but it wasn't actually big enough either for what they wanted, and they wanted to make them even bigger. But luckily Utahraptor was discovered around the same time and that justified their decision on making the raptors Utahraptor sized. And you're very right they kept the name incorrectly as Velociraptor simply because they thought it sounded cooler.

It was more because at the time the book was being written, Deinonychus was thought to be a species of Velociraptor. This idea fell out of favor but Crichton still called them Velociraptor.

Velociraptor is literally “super fast bird of prey” and if that’s not a catchy name, idk what is

"Git on now, git"

Not true tho

@@thejack9178 considering how small velociraptors really were it’s probably true

Like fending off a Raccoon lol

@@mr.rufasi2729 I don't know if it would be true or not ...but I think it's less useful to imagine: "Thing the size of a dog" ...and more useful to imagine: "Predatory bird the size of a dog that doesn't need flight adaptations" ...and now I want something better than a stick =P

You wouldnt watch it if it wasn't Netflix?

@@archkull I'd watch it anywhere I could. Netflix was just the first streaming service I thought of.

I'm not sure that I would. His looks are all too reminiscent of the late great Bud Spencer.

Yessss that would be great!!🙏

@@CoinsAndCapsaicin I guess its just a pet peeve of mine when people default to Netflix with stuff like this as if they dont already have a massive monopoly on this stuff

I think sone frogs do have motion based vision so this explains it

Yea the book explained the poor vision very few point that out

That's cool!

I'm pretty jealous, I wanna be in it that would be amazing

mine wouldve been a short assignment. 1 word. Nothing. I'll take my 0 with pride cuz i will never bad mouth JP

That is so awesome. I want to be in this dude’s class!

@@sslocke awww because you put a fictional movie over actual facts about dinosaurs? You’re 6 years old.

Omg that’s TRUE!!!!

Exactly. Plus, the fact that it roared at all, really. No reptile or avian alive today roars. They chirp. They hiss. They squark. Sure, T-Rex would have had massive lungs. But, to roar is super far-fetched. I like the reconstruction of what a T-Rex may have sounded like. A deep, rolling grumble. Something you could feel as much as hear. A sound that rumbled your bones as it traveled kilometers towards you. Couple that with a hiss and you have one scarier and more accurate Rex. :)

Roaring makes billion dollars movies.

@@spankyjeffro5320 Just a correction Some avians can in fact roar, such as the ostrich and other large flightless birds, a lot of them also are able to produce growling hisses, and avians in particular are known to be able to produce more vocal variations than any other animal alive. So considering the shape of nasal cavities and resonance chambers, we do have somewhat of an indication of the depth of their vocal ranges, and various threatening noises would most likely be more common with dinosaurs than modern day birds, considering how they were more often than not competing amongst each other and fighting, which is far less common with modern birds. The one thing I do wish wasn't the case, is the overreliance on roars. The only dinosaurs served any sense of justice are the various raptors - which are depicted as capable of many different types of sounds and expressions, allowing for more complex communication and vocal expression. I don't know why this is kept exclusive to them, probably to just give them a more special treatment and uniqueness I guess.. But no, a roaring dinosaur is not super far fetched. Suggesting exclusively the opposite actually is. Overall I do agree on the point that a multitude of vocals/sounds were likely mixed and used in different situations. Roar, hiss, growl, deep rolling grumble, higher pitched chirps, etc. No reason to believe dinosaurs of most species wouldn't have decently wide vocal capability.

Maybe sometimes but not always. For example the Gallimimus scene in Jurassic Park. The T-rex hunted them down without a single sound. Also the first raptor attack in The Lost World. The camera view above showing the raptors silently closing in on the humans and taking them down one by one.

Yep, Rex crushed bones

No one cares

​@@denistaray368 You are everything wrong in the world and I genuinely believe that civilization will implode because of people who act like you on the internet

That’s legit, I’m happy for him too!

I took that class! Wonder if we were in it together.

@@denistaray368 i do

Wow, cool 👌

was he cool

Now that's a class I'd like to take.

How does that relate to a job though? Movies aren't made for scientific accuracy and these days the audience knows that. Paying for a course on that sounds like a waste of money no offense.

@@goodshipkaraboudjan right but thats why they are compared, to see whats accurate and whats not, also to see how it would happen in a real life situation.

Tbf there's a lot we thought we never knew... Never say never.

Parasaurolophus sound

yeah that scene really pissed me off in Jurassic Park 3. it happened really early in the movie and it really set the scene for the rest of it.

Well yeah but then we'd have no new antagonist carnivore for JP3.

brother this made me laugh thank you 😂😂

I think he meant to say Spinosaurus

@@gmualum08 jack horner... that name is the only reason for the infamous scene in jp3. Director Joe Johnston deserves some blame too but jack horner hates trexes and believes it was nothing more than a pathetic scavenger and without Spielberg and a proper script (the film actually started shooting before it was finished) he had a bit more say than in previous installments

No he doesn’t, lol

so u want a unless job that dont do nothing for anyone or anything at all...them pretend we know what they looked and sounded like sorry u can only get best on what out computers come up with but dont mean its even close to what they did

If you want to be a paleontologist, you need take biology or geology degree

@@corruptsolja Oh shut up!!! If you want to be a paleontologist you want to be a paleontologist. I feel insulted.

@@corruptsolja i guarantee you’re dumber than you sound. They said they *WANTED* to be a paleontologist after the movie in 1993. Just as I did in 1998 while in first grade. Paleontologist do nothing to help? Something tells me you don’t have a job.

Same.

The blacksmith/swordsmith was equally as good. Brutal honestly

He's a gate keeper propagating a false history.... go to the Archaix channel.

@@ZalMoxis Okay, I've found the channel, but there are obviously many videos. I'm not going to invest a lot of time there unless I know it's good. So recommend one to me that will show me why this Loewen guy is not the real deal.

just wanted to add if he seen the movie like he says all the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are genetically modified with other animals so in turn some of the traits would have changed them so it explains why they are slightly different so watch the movie and listen like people dont I know he's trying to compare them with real dinosaurs but dont hate a movie that explains the reason just listen

@@ZalMoxis Care to back that up?

@@ZalMoxis oh boy a young earth creationist 🤣

Ha! That's too funny! He does look like Hagrid

OK.

Except it would be the same profession: Fantastical beasts. Fumbled it at the finish line.

Honestly Hagrid WOULD love dinosaurs wouldn't he?😂

I think he dressed up for Hagrid for Halloween cuz he mention it in the class he taught

same

Yeah, I thought he would address how ridiculous that is.

Raptors in Jurassic Park: Dangerous hunters without any remorse killing almost everything in a blink of an eye Raptors in Jurassic World: Manipulative pets

Didn't they explain that in the movie that they bred them to be more domesticated? Or am i forgetting something.

@@krschu00 It's all nonsense anyway. So it's, "all good".

@@BillOweninOttawa well the whole premise is nonsense if you wanna go that far with jt

yup, I agree 100%

I knew when I saw it that the fight should have ended when the T-Rex bit down onto the Spinos neck. It’s always bugged me

Definitely. Even a sprained tendon can be a death sentence to a predator. I can’t imagine any big carnivorous dinosaurs having full blown fights to the death every time they meet.

They also don't like to fight as they would rather spend the energy looking for food over fighting

​@@Lucaz99 Just like most current top predators do not randomly fight each other.

@@ballislife9924 But omnivores do. Wolves, Bears etc

i mean yeah. Predators that have never met wouldnt. But lions kill hyenas on sight. So thats just not true. They give up quickly for the reason u said. But animals fight when they perceive a threat. Same with dolphins and sharks. Crows and owls etc. But true, carnivores give up fights a lot quicker than herbivores

Yep!

yes! he teaches a geology in cinema class! Loved it!

He knows more about Dinosaurs than cinema give credit that much night at museum he couldn’t put magic stone together that trex bone wouldn’t break bones hit wall he didn’t mention it of course wouldn’t break stone tablet makes everything come to life even bones of course bones wouldn’t hitting hard surface

@@dragonball3166 i had a stroke trying to read that

Go to the Archaix channel and learn real world history.... Dinosaurs are all made up....

Since the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park movies are designed and their DNA is altered, theoretically they could've made spinosaurus as big as bad as they wanted. I think this movie was also made during a time when they only had one discovered spinosaurus skeleton (I think there are literally only 7 partial skeletons, and no full ones even today) so the spinosaurus in the movie was an accurate representation of what they believed at the time it actually looked like. Since then they've discovered more and Spinosaurus has created a lot of controversy in the Paleo community lol

I grew out of it when I realized the pay wasn't that good.

I grew out of it when I realized not a single museum in the world showcases a real dinosaur skeleton... They are all replicas.

I still feel like digging

@@Gravitino100 the average salary of a paleontologist is about 230,000$ a year. That is very good. It's also a lot of schooling needed. The top paleontologists make over 550k.

@@ThePhilosophicalOne you want guests to be able to touch the millions year old fossils in the actual collection? Yeah, no. They have the fossils, just outside of guest viewing so actual scientists can study them.

He probably chose this profession because of he loved these movies growing up.

Also maturity and getting paid by Vanity Fair to do this in 2022

Also he differentiates between movies that got it wrong because of what the knowledge was at the time, and movies that got it wrong because of artistic decisions/ignorance/lazyness.

He is not insulted. We just don't know that much about the creatures. Much guessing has to be done.

but he does make one mistake again and that is comparing the velociraptors to velociraptors, technically the velociraptors are Velociraptor antirrhopus, also known as deinonychus, the little skull he showed was a Velociraptor mongoliensis, but at the time of writing some thought that deinonychus was part of the velociraptors. halfway writing that got known to be wrong, but the name was kept as it sounded scarier.

this made me chuckle lol

He was one of my professor’s in college and he definitely dressed up as Hagrid for Halloween.

Dinosaurs are magical. Especially genetic engineered ones

Ha! He is sortuva Paleo-Hagrid

Hagrid also does stand up comedy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f6nBQ9rv8OU.html

It was Horners idea. He is known to hate trex. The guy is a farce. If only we could go back and have this guy on set instead!

gosh i love the book. i have the audio book on my phone i used to listen to it when i went on long walks. i need to do that again. both the long walks and give that book another go.

Evolution cannot account for a land animal having the eyesight of an airborne raptor There would be no need of it Of course evolution cannot answer how a giraffe 🦒 doesn't have a a cerebral aneurysm everytime it takes a drink. And don't get me started on how the bombadier beetle befuddles darwinism. God is real Jesus Christ is His only begotten son. Jesus is the way the truth and the light and if you're not His you're going to a very real place of eternal damnation. As for dinosaur, they're part of creation, a young creation. Despite commonly accepted lies.

@@Elion1 The novel is such a page turner. Still love the movie more than almost any movie, though.

It makes sense since the movie also mentions that amphibian DNA was used to construct these dinosaurs.

Facts. If someone with a massive ego like Jack Horner was on he’d have made this video all about how much he hates T.rex

I wish I'd thought to go when I lived there 😭

The term was made up in the 1870's to hide true world history.... they never really existed.

I know! They always make digging up fossils look hilariously easy.

i remember the first time my family got the movie on a CD, it had kinds of bugs in that made the sound pop out really loud and i guess that just made the experience much scarier.. since today i am still terrified of this movies and cannot watch any of them without feeling anxious or in panic, i think this could be because of the CD bugs or even because i was really young but after all it just caused me a little trauma ✋😭

The animal sounds in that movie were revolutionary. The theater experience was well worth the money.

It was the first movie i ever saw in cinema. I was 7 years old at that time. Thus my love for movies was born

I was scrolling down to see a comment related to that to see if any spino fanboys got offended by that lol surprisingly there were non

@@reswinroy8378 They can't argue anything against that so they just stay shut.

Imagine treating dinosaurs like kaiju or superheroes

have there been spino fanboys lately then? havent seen that spino since that one jp3 movie never to be seen in a movie again! rare species die out :P

it was my favorite one since the movie came out because i thought they were more powerful than T-Rex in a certain way and that just made me terrified ✋😭

I’d have to disagree, I’m not sure where they found this guy he seems to be not very well informed, I’m pretty sure it was discovered that triceratops and brontosaurus never existed, And where bones of other dinosaurs. And he refers to them multiple times.

It was once theorized that triceratops was just a young torosaurus but that theory was proven false.

Probably because he loves what he is doing

@@tomura7739 I am not sure what you mean by brontosaurus and triceratops never existed. Triceratops existed. The debate was where it belonged in the main groups of other similar dinosaurs. Yes, Brontosaurs was rejected for a long time as just another Apatosaurus, but in 2015 it was proposed that Brontosaurus had distinct features not found Apatosaurus and was its own genus with 3 species. So saying that he is wrong is not taking all the information into account. He could be among those that support Brontosaurus as a genus. Also for whatever reason Brontosaurus has pop culture recognition. More lay people will know what you're talking about by saying Brontosaurus than Apatosaurus. Even if they are wrong in identifying them.

@@tomura7739 get educated

Hey Aaron, if you get started, then I'll catch up with you, man. I've always wanted to be a paleontologist too, and I turn 30 in two more years.

go for it!!!! follow your dreams & best of luck

While this is true in concept and thus execution, remember, most of us watched these films as kids and, to us, this is how they were in real life in their own time. We didn't know better. We do now, but many of us didn't back then. (Heck, some paleontologists were still uncertain about some of these facts back then) That being said, while the Velociraptors in the park were genetically engineered, what about the fossil that Dr. Alan Grant found in the desert and described. He described a Velociraptor while holding a claw the size of a Utahraptor's. *shrug*

@@TheMarukeru The Velociraptors in JP are supposed to be Deinonychus, Creighton just liked the name "Velociraptor" more. The movie still made them a bit bigger but the difference isn't as noticeable when you consider that. The fossil in the desert at the beginning of the movie is in Montana, around where you'd find Deinonychus.

@@priscyllathewitch298 Deinonychus was classified as velociraptor in some source material both Crichton and Spielberg used to make their JP works. Greg Paul even made artwork specifically for the production of spielbei movie that was used in said movie.

It is just a retcon. Jurassic Park and The Lost films very much articulated that ingen intended to create the real thing, it was only starting in JP/// that they threw out the lazy line by grant so that they could explain away a lack of feather cover for the raptors and introduce the quilled ones. Jurassic world doubled down on that with more lazy dialogue with Wu.

@@scottb3034 That's also true. The naming of Deinonychus as V. antirrhopus was always controversial but I do recall seeing that Velociraptor was still preferred for the book and movie since it sounded "more dramatic" than Deinonychus.

that is actually so cool, you've just given me a new fact to annoy my friends with!

That is impossible because they're completely fictional movie monsters and will do whatever the screenwriters says they'll do.

@@Waaris_771 Thing is, the hybrids portrayed cannot be guessed like that as they already have set behaviours, the indominus rex didn't even know what it was and was seeing where it fit on the food chain, it was highly intelligent and killed for sport.
