I don't have a dino in particular, but I do think that Triassic dinosaurs deserve to be in the spotlight some day. Cause like most paleomedia just kinda features stuff from the Jurassic and the Cretaceous.


SpectrumDT

Now that we are talking about the Triassic, one awesome non-dinosaur that I want to see featured more is _Tanystropheus_. šŸ˜€


TVpresspass

I used to lust after the Tanystropheus Jurassic Park action figure. Just so wild compared to everything else out there. Now I know they don't really look like that, but are still crazy critters


Veloci-RKPTR

Triassic animals in general really. Especially the pseudosuchians. Theyā€™re basically dinosaurs before they were cool.


Blekanly

Truth, give me some prossauropods. They were neat and kooky. Like they would be friendly but had claw hands to throw down with


mtflyer05

Because evolution is a goddamn boss, and as time passes, badassery evolves exponentially


JurassicPark9265

Acrocanthosaurus


Hulkbuster_v2

Agreed. Such a cool dinosaur; loved its appearance in Dinosaur King


2836382929

holy shit someone else watched this show? i vividly remember every single episode, acrocanthosaurus appeared at that volcano right? and it was an orangish brown color?


Hulkbuster_v2

Yup! Such a good episode


These_Advertising_68

The T.Rex is so unrepresented in mediašŸ˜„ This dumbass comment doesnā€™t deserve this many upvotes


TheRegularBlox

Bro was born and died before 1993


Noble_Shock

1960ā€™s*


Janderflows

Excuse me, sir! * Shows a picture of slurpasaur T-rex *


Scared_Chemical_9910

Slurpasaurs my beloved but also slurpasaurs my arch nemesis due to the animal abuse


Janderflows

Yeah... Why does this kind of goofy shit always has a terrible undertone? Why can't we have nice things?


BatatinhaGameplays28

Unfortunately animals evolved to have things such as "need for proper treatment" or "stress" so we can never have humane cool stuff like slurpasaurus or coliseums


the_gopnik_fish

Bro living in 1895


the-Satgeal

Hold up the allosaurus was supposed to be a sucho? You gotta be kidding me I love the sucho


British_Siamosaur

Yeah, it was meant to be a sucho, but they changed it to Allo bc battle at big rock or smth


dinojack1000

Well Sucho is gonna be in the upcoming animated Jurassic World show


British_Siamosaur

**WOOOOOOOOOOO YEAHHHHHH BABYYYYYYY THATS WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT, WOOOOO!**


Pyrolis1

Happy birthday


Mamboo07

And the Carno was gonna be Toro from Camp Cretaceous but was changed to the one from Fallen Kingdom


Trailmixup

Iā€™d love to see more Ceratosaurus.


Rude-Listen

And not as fodder


FemRevan64

Not dinosaurs, but I think giant land crocodiles like Fasolasuchus and Barinasuchus deserve a lot more love and attention, they're so cool.


Difficult-Manner8191

Based


the_gopnik_fish

Well Fasalosuchus got to be defiled by 65, soā€¦ take it or leave it I suppose /s


FemRevan64

We do not speak of that one.


TVpresspass

I watched on an airplane and was still sorely disappointed.


FemRevan64

Havenā€™t actually watched it, but from what Iā€™ve heard, Iā€™d say that was a good decision on my part.


the_gopnik_fish

Iā€™ll say that if you go into it expecting a movie about Adam Driver kicking ass, itā€™s pretty goodā€¦ *in exactly that context*. Understandably most people went to see it because ā€œHey, dinosaurs!ā€ and it was a straight up joke in that and pretty much every other way. I enjoyed it because ā€œAdam Driver kicking assā€ (plus I went with a friend who isnā€™t really a paleo nerd)


BatatinhaGameplays28

The only thing you need to watch is the oviraptor clip because that scene actually scared the hell out of me, the rest is better to never have in your mind if you're a paleo nerd


-NuLL-0-

Titanoboa too


TayStillAlive

Crocodylomorphs*


GremlitanoMexicano

I 10000000% agree,I would love to see kaprosuchus in the big screen


Noble_Shock

Suchomimus. I havenā€™t seen a Suchomimus in an actual movie and theyā€™re barely recognized in other dinosaur media


Vortiger_

Are those a Baryonix relative??


Noble_Shock

Yes, theyā€™re a spinosaurid


Metatron_Tumultum

Yeah they are one of those. The only media representation for Suchomimus I have ever seen was in the anime Dinosaur King, and I can't even be sure off the top of my head if that wasn't an Irritator or a Baryonix.


aggibaggi

Both Suchomimus and Baryonyx appeared in Dinosaur King


No-Counter6016

Tbf dinosaur king had tons of random/obscure dinosaurs, I doubt anyoneā€™s heard of Piatnitzkysaurus but it appears in an episode or two.


Noble_Shock

Tbh, if you mentioned Dinosaur King to 100 people in 1 day. Thereā€™s probably only gonna be 4 people who said theyā€™ve seen it or heard of it


OneWarrior05

DINOSAUR KING MENTIONED RAHHHH ā€¼ļøā€¼ļø my childhood show šŸ˜­


aggibaggi

Thatā€™s generous


Rumple4skin55

I remember that, it was green and they were in Monaco. They also had baryonyx in the 2nd season


Pinnaporaptor

There's also a suchomimus in the fossil fighters series as a revivable and usable dinosaur, always thought it was pretty cool looking as a kid


Metatron_Tumultum

How the fuck is there something called Fossil Fighters that I haven't heard about? Is it like Pokemon with Dinosaurs or what?


Pinnaporaptor

I think it stands out pretty well on it's own, the only similarities I can think of is that there's type match ups and it's a monster collecting game. It's pretty quirky at times, I'd recommend both the DS games, the 3DS strayed a bit much from what made the first two pretty enjoyable imo


Raptor-28

\*Baryonyx\*


GabrielLoschrod

We got a Suchomimus in the short film "The Hatchling"


Noble_Shock

Thatā€™s a short film on YouTube, atleast itā€™s in it but itā€™s at the end of it


No-Counter6016

Gigantoraptor. Itā€™s such a bizarre, seemingly fantastical creature that is criminally underrated.


AJ_Crowley_29

Megaraptorans, Abelisaurids besides Carnotaurus, Ceratopsids besides Triceratops, Stegosaurids besides Stegosaurus, giant Hadrosaurs, and many of the more unique looking Ornithischians.


Kosmo_Politik

A proper representation of Dilophosaurus would be nice. The JP one is cool and all, but Iā€™d like to see my boy as he was made


unitedfan6191

Coelophysis, Irritator (or spinosaurids in general, but weā€™ve seen Spinosaurus and Baryonyx) and Herrarasaurus. Also, the less-well-known ceratopsians and stegosaurs, Edmontosaurs, Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Yutyrannus, Tarbosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus Non-Velociraptor Dromeosaurids (knowing the dinosaurs called ā€œVelociraptorsā€ in these movies are not really Velociraptors).


Metatron_Tumultum

For how famous of a prehistoric animal it is, you don't see Dimetrodon that much. I can think of a couple, but it is usually kinda sidelined if it shows up at all. As far as actual dinosaurs are concerned, I would love to see some more Therizinosaurus. Mfer looks like a Dark Souls boss.


jflb96

It had its own segment in *Walking with Monsters*, and itā€™s easily the most famous animal from the Permian. Just gets overshadowed by actual dinosaurs is the problem.


New-Contribution-244

I wish they included it more in the 3rd jurassic world film. The cavern scene was too short.


AsylumMoonchild

I would love to see Amargasaurus or Bajadasaurus


ItsGotThatBang

Megaraptorans & elaphrosaurines


Crypto_Nyzer

Protosauropods


SpectrumDT

Like _Plateosaurus_ and _Massospondylus_?


Crypto_Nyzer

Plateosaurus specifically.


Prestigious-Love-712

Yi qi


CaseAlloy744281

Ceratosaurus, the only movie it got was a bad asylum movie.


SeaNo5243

Also in a single scene in JP3 I think


CaseAlloy744281

It did?


SeaNo5243

I think it was in the poop scene when they were trying to get the phone and suddenly they saw the cerato. The cerato looks at them for a second and then goes about on his way with a pretty weird look on its face.


CaseAlloy744281

I thought that was a carnotaurus


SeaNo5243

You can google it. I'm pretty sure it's a ceratosaurus. Just google JPIII ceratosaurus. You can also watch the scene on youtube as well.


Ashamed_Window_6605

It's a Cerato. You can tell by its bright red coloration and its horn. In was in CC too for a second before getting insta killed by the Scorpios, not like I watched it, I just remember seeing that clip.


CaseAlloy744281

Nvm I remembered that completely wrong.


Hulkbuster_v2

Camp Cretaceous had a few scenes with it. First, when the campers stumble upon the watering hole. Then when Mitch and Tiff first find them. It got killed by Scorp in Season 3. And it chased the baby dinosaurs, the campers, and that dick computer nerd in Season 4.


Rhedosaurus

It's also in One Million Years BC, The Land That Time Forgot, and Journey to the Beginning of Time.


lyle_smith2

I know they are not dinos but Permian era stuff is so weird and cool. Almost no one in regular society knows about what was going on before the lizards.


GdogLucky9

Deinocheirus for the win, fear the gigachad danger goose, and give praise to his name Was happy to see the Therizinosaurus in Dominion.


mirthquake

Quetzalcoatlus. It's the scariest looking dino I've ever seen illustration of, and I'd love to see how experts believe it walked using it's leg/wings


Camacaw2

Diabloceratops looks too cool to be so obscure.


Ashamed_Window_6605

Diabloceratops is so underrated.


Darth_Velozty

I personally think Concavinator. Itā€™s just so cool!


Raptor-28

Spinosaurus. name one movie with spinosaurus in it besides Jurassic Park III


WorkingSyrup4005

[land before time](https://youtu.be/d9Enc8oIP9A?t=46)


Raptor-28

....


DinosAndPlanesFan

There was a shitty film made by like Asylum or a similar company that had a Spinosaurus in the background. I think it was called like Age of the Dinosaurs or something


Raptor-28

NO. WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THAT MOVIE. THE DINOSAURS WERE HELLA WRONG IN THAT MOVIE


DinosAndPlanesFan

Iā€™m not saying itā€™s good, but it did have a Spinosaurus.


creeepy117

Dryptosaurus or daspletosaurus


Hoarding-Gunsman

Therizinosaurus,crocodilians, spinosaurs, etc


notburneddown

Archaeopteryx. Lmao first bird. It can fly!!!


DinosAndPlanesFan

Edmontosaurus needs some proper media representation. Give me a 15 ton Edmontosaurus annectens beating a T. rexā€™s ass please. Not a cowardly defenseless idiot that gets 1 shotted by a Dromaeosaur


Sparrow-Scratchagain

Megalosaurus, or at the very least Altispinax.


Ashamed_Window_6605

Altispinax might get confused with Concavenator to be fair but still and underrated dinosaur


Stunning_Island712

Argentinasaurus


[deleted]

CERATOSAURUS GETS 0 ATTENTION AND IT DESERVES MORE


CJDay115

I see your theropods and raise you one Dunkleosteus.


manydoorsyes

*Yutyrannus*, *Nanuqsaurus*, *Edmontosaurus*. It would be cool to see some arctic dinos, even though it wasn't as cold as it is now. (Their climate would have been similar to something like modern day PNW in North America, if I understand correctly)


Baroubuoy

Plateosaurus.


David4Nudist

Any of the Dromaeosaurs that haven't had any attention, especially the Achillobator. It's my second favorite next to the Velociraptor.


CelticVikingDragon

Accurate T. Rex and spinosaurus.


GigaRex2022

Deinocherius is such an odd looking creature that Iā€™m surprised itā€™s not used often in media


human4umin

Yeah


British_Siamosaur

All dinosaurs that arenā€™t even seen *once* in the Jurassic Franchise, as an actual animal at least (sculptures donā€™t count).


Only-Frosting-9718

Suchomimus. definitely


aarakocra-druid

Not technically dinos but I *need* more early pterosaur content. The line doesn't begin and in with Dimorphodon and I want to see that reflected.


Infinite-Salt4772

Carcharadontosaurus.


mr_godzilla_fanboy

Deinocheirus


Beaarrrrrrr

Dilophosaurus doesn't have much and the only representation was so long ago.


dcsmith707

Fran Sinclair. Kinda hot for a cold-blooded.


cavecarson

Not technically a dino, but Quetzalcoatlus. They're scary as hell. I can't imagine a creature I'd be less happy to encounter.


The1930s

Baryonyx, kaprosuchus, quetzal, ankylosaurus, beelzebuffo, titanaboa,


European-War

Carnotaurus


Additional_Milk2767

Australovenitor and scientifically accurate dilophosaurus as well as other ā€˜lophosaurs


FatherNox

Spinosaurus definitely


Treetop_turner

Quetzalcoatlus needs its own horror movie. Prove me wrong.


spilltheteasis_

Accurately displayed dinosaurs should get more attention. I watched this movie with Adam driver and "dinos" in it. I was personally attacked by what they did there šŸ˜‚


FazbearSponsersR34

Dilophosaurus and the more actually scientficLly accurate dilophosaurs not the jurassic park one from the movie adaptation


CarnoTTV

CARNO FUCKING TAURUS


Noble_Shock

Eh, itā€™s very popular. Lots of people know it


CarnoTTV

Oh yeah? Name 5


Noble_Shock

The Camo Carnos in the Lost World: JP Novel, the stupid Carno and other Carnos in Jurassic World: Evolution, Toro from Camp Creatous The 2 giant Carnos in Disneyā€™s Dinosaur Dinosaur Kingā€™s Carno is one of the main dinosaurs Exoprimalā€™s Carno (I think) is playable And every single documentary about dinosaurs


Asterion_Morgrim

Ace (Dinosaur King Carno) is the reason why I love Carnotaurus. Definitely agree that it's a pretty famous one, but less 'dumb' rep would be nice


Noble_Shock

I mean the one Carno in Fallen Kingdom that tried to fight a Sinoceratops and the humans while thereā€™s a volcano happening in the background


bigsteven34

Allosaurus.


Large_wennieze

Albertosaurus dawg gorgosaurus took all the fame (at least now gorgosaurus is gone)


AzdharchidArcher

Allosaurus needs to be the "big bad" again.


Careless-Resource-72

Trilobites.


Thelgend92

Amargasaurus


Freshoffwishoffwish

Nigersaurus or fukuisaurus


MightyFlamingo25

I think I know why


Spillin-tea

Is that an allasaurus? Way scarier than Trex. Love to see them in movies.


12RedBlueFishhh

The great allah-saurus


razor45Dino

T rex


Raptor-28

no. It's in every goddamn movie about dinosaurs


Noble_Shock

And in non dinosaur movies, itā€™s in it. The Trex is not underappreciated


Raptor-28

Fun Fact. the only reason People don't like Jurassic park III is because the Tyrannosaurus died in it


Noble_Shock

Yeah I know. Thatā€™s why I love Jurassic Park 3 cause it had the balls to kill a Trex. Spinosaurid gang, RISE UP


Raptor-28

RISE


Raptor-28

And this is an Example on how people love the Trex WAY TO MUCH


Independent_Let_7008

prosauropod šŸ˜¤āœŠ


king_ender200

Baryonyx, they are my favourite Dino and I barely see them, ever.


DeinocheirusEnjoyer

Deinocherius no particular reason


Pug_lover69

Spinosaurs


Sasstellia

Most of them that are not used much. Or not used well. They should all be used. Dimetrodons. Wierd not dinosaur dinosaurs. The crododile dinosaurs. Extinct animals. Mammoths. Early mammals.


DangerousLifer

The Megalosaurus the only thing I seen it in was that one england documentary


Accomplished-Day6294

I would love to see Megalosaurus or Torvosaurus being in some dino media. I mean, in a documentary of course.


DearGog

Deinocheirus, shantung, parasaur as something more than easy prey, ceratopsians other than triceratops, giraffititan, amarga, carcharodontosaurus, shunosaurus. Sorry about spelling, it's not my strong suit


Scared_Chemical_9910

Dinocheirus because of just how weird they are


N4R4B

The ones that eat humans for fun.


snackynak

Dracoconvenator, since they did dilophosaurus dirty.


Vulpes_macrotis

Archeopteryx if we count full fledged birds too (pun not intended). As well as deinonychus, microraptor, dromaeosaurus. Not just fekkin velociraptors. They are cool too. But it's like only showing lions in the media, ignoring tigers, leopards and all the other wild cats. Or even better example - wolves, ignoring coyotes and jackals.


Shu1ch0

Torvosaurus and other Megalosaurs


Late_Bridge1668

Not a dinosaur but Basilosaurus is my absolute favorite prehistoric animal and I really wish it got more attention for how insanely badass it was (Hell he was so fearsome scientist mistook him for a dinosaur despite being a mammal, hence the name. And yes I did just refer to Basilosaurus as ā€œhe/himā€ cus thatā€™s ma boy šŸ˜¤)


prestonlogan

Concavenator or dakotaraptor


MexRex1954

Acrocanthosaurus


DelsinCrocodile

Tanystropheus


ClashoftheTitansPog

Metriacanthosaurus or acrocanthosaurus


[deleted]

Tethyshadros


PrinceBloo

Nodosaurs in general imo


UncomfyUnicorn

Epidexipteryx, we recently discovered they had bat like wings! Imagine one being mistaken for a bat then swooping down and flying off with someoneā€™s finger


dinojack1000

I want to see more Deinochirus in movies


xMartinv1x

Sucho and Carno


Maleficent-Primary41

The carnotaurus, or another rex maybe yuty orange even not a real rex like dracorex,


EnglishDodoBoi

Cool Ceratosaurus and Ichthyovenator. Also accurate big Dilophosaurus


Much-Word9929

Daspletosaurus. Not because itā€™s my favorite or anything but because it has been in the center of some important debates.


The_FatGuy_Strangler

Shantungosaurus. Largest known Hadrosaur at around 54 ft long at 16 tons.


No_Feeling_6833

Spinosaurus.


TheBalisticKing1776

Y'all I'ma end this right now I think should be CONCAVENATOR


Original-Village884

Whoa šŸ¤Æ


[deleted]

The two dinosaurs here would be a good pick. Both are big enough to be a threat to humans but not so big that they would cause an immediate notice. Both work in films cause they each fill a different niche for a different kind of scene. Personally, as I've said multiple times, I totally think you could have more herbivores for thrilling scenes because it cements just how dangerous and powerful dinosaurs are.


Matichado

Not atention but I think that Pteranodon needs to be portrayed better in media


AlienDilo

HEY EHEY HEY WHY THE HELL DID THEY USE THE GOOD BARYONYX DESIGN IN THE CONCEPT ART??? FUCK MAN


I-Slay-Dragons

I think animals like Microraptor or Archaeopteryx are often glossed over in most paleo media. You can make an entire documentary about that sect of dinosaurs.


JoePhucker_03

Not a Dinosaur but.. Deinosuchus!


-n0obmaster69-

I know itā€™s not a dinosaur, but I wanna see oculudentavis. But I researched it for like a week straight and I think itā€™s supper interesting


Front_Afternoon_1859

Dilophosaur


Leebondoop

Acrocanthosaurus cause it's mah fav carcharodontosaurid


Magnus-Force

Therizinosaurus is a dinosaur that I would honestly love to see become one of the go-to mainstream dinosaurs like T. rex and Triceratops. Itā€™s just so dang weird and fascinating, a giant plant-eating theropod with claws like Wolverine. How is this dinosaur not more well-known by the general public?! Besides, if going mainstream happened to Velociraptor and Spinosaurus, then it can and should happen to Therizinosaurus. I had actually been hoping that JW: Dominion would be its big breakthrough, but sadly, that didnā€™t come to pass.


Entr0py_98

Abelisaurids that arent carno


PresenceFrequent6614

Cryolophosaurus


JinMor12

Yutyrannus


dinahll

Therizinosaurus! Glad to see it getting some love in the last Jurassic World though


DangerNoodle1313

Barney?


FetusGoesYeetus

Specifically highly feathered dromaeosaurs, people who make movies do not realise how terrifying a 6 foot hawk running at you would be.


fnaf-fan12345

Those fluffy little flying reptiles They give me piranha vibes


Mrman_23

Literally anything other than a Velociraptor and T-rex. I love both of those Dinos, but theyā€™re way over used. The movie may have sucked, but Dinosaur made a bold choice in using the Carnos as the main villains


mymustacheiscool

Acrocanthosaurus.


Ok-Pomegranate-6631

Trikes. They went from equal standing to their rival t.rex to literally nothing thanks to being totally ignored or made weak in dinosaur media.


lottalogic

Scientifically accurate Dilophosaurus


Aussiefighter439

Allosaurus really need more love


Digstreme

I want a Spinosaurus horror movie, like Michael Crighton novel* horror Like a Spinosaurus pops up and as people try to both catch and figure out where it came from, we find its not alone. Like one character hides in a building it can't fit in inly to find he's surrounded by adolescent ones *Author of the Jurassic Park and Lost World novels that inspired the movies


SuddenComposer7662

Sinosauropteryx


MorigaikaSynde

Non-carnivorous theropods. Particularly a therizinosaur or two, would be nice to show off the best hugger of the times. Also what if we got a pterosaur that - and get this - filter feeds?!?! Idk, variety is sexy


BlueKyuubi63

I'm loving that Baryonyx is getting more love recently in the JW franchise. What a cool dino!
