Apparently scientists are pissed that they won't have feathers in the new movie... because despite being scientists, they apparently don't understand that movies and real life are different.

I understand where those people are coming from. For better or for worse, the original Jurassic Park has permanently impacted our collective cultural imagery of dinosaurs. It's the reason why everybody today knows what a "raptor" is. When people imagine what a living dinosaur looked like, they think of the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, and it's going to be a long time before average folks are able to disassociate dinosaurs from the concept of scaly, featherless skin. That's got to be frustrating for the scientific community and I totally get why they would be upset that the latest JP film isn't going to be imprinting scientifically accurate images of dinosaurs into people's minds for decades to come.

Personally, I'd rather the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park IV look consistent with the dinosaurs of the prior entries. For all the accuracy the creators of the first film sought to imbue in their dinosaurs, they also took plenty of liberties such as making the velociraptors larger and giving dilophosaurus venomous spit and a frill. The JP dinosaurs are unique movie monsters unto themselves and I think they should stay that way.

Now, if this new dinosaur movie was an original property, unrelated to Jurassic Park, I'd be all for giving the dinos feathers.

I dunno, the common imagery of dinosaurs as reptilian and featherless was around LONG before Jurassic Park. It wasn't until the last 30 years or so that the "feathers" thing became THAT common.

Do they really think making the dinosaurs feathered in JP4 will change what people think of when they hear the word "dinosaur?"

Cuz that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
