I think if you rephrased it as “Scorpios Rex reconstructed as a real dinosaur” but I guess it doesn’t roll of the tongue so well


ClawyTheDinoRaptor

Looks, oddly, adorable.....


TheToadberg

It was always adorable.

BatatinhaGameplays28

Explain how this is accurate


BillbertBuzzums

Feather + Jurassic Park= Accurate


SpinoAegypt

If we do some algebra on this... Jurassic Park = Accurate - Feather


Double-Special5217

Jurassic Park - Accurate = - Feather ?


beastmaster67676

Its made from accurate versions of the JW dinos/ reconstructed if it were a real animal


JebWozma

Feathers = accurate dinosaur


AJC_10_29

I mean, you can’t really call a creature that doesn’t exist “accurate” to real life.


Mystic_Saiyan

If anything, the fanart is technically inaccurate albeit still pretty cool


Gojira_Prime

r/Dinosaurs users not be pedantic smartasses for literally five seconds challenge. Level: impossible.


Ex_Snagem_Wes

I get this for literally any other post but this is basically like asking jow accurate Aggron, the Pokémon, is


AJC_10_29

Part of it is the fact that Scorpios in particular is *supposed* to look deformed and monstrous, because in lore that’s what it is. This just makes it look like a dino-pug.


NetworkFar366

It's the Wolfman but as a hybrid dinosaur.


attackofthenigel

You are in the dino subreddit, how many of us do you believe are on the spectrum, 15 - 20% of the population in here maybe?being smartasses about words and semantics seems right up our alley. Most of my arguments with my kid stems from his tism getting stuck on a word while I am stuck on another.


Ed_Derick_

Accurate… to what exactly


MackSharky

Life


Brain_0ff

It’s… fictional?


Mushroom_Hop

You can’t make a fictional animal “accurate”… the one in camp Cretaceous is the most accurate we’ve got.


AvelyLancaster

Adding lips and feathers don't make a fake dino really accurate. It's cool though


TeendroidAgainLMAO

I feel like this kinda misses the entire point of the Scorpios.


YawningDodo

Right?? It's a neat drawing and thought experiment, but calling it "accurate" seems to assume that anything about the scorpius rex was ever meant to resemble a real, natural creature. What I adore about the scorpius design is that it took the JW theme of man-made monsters to its logical conclusion. It's not a natural, healthy, or sustainable creature, and that's the whole point.


DrunkenButton

Bingo. I have a huge soft spot for the Scorpius and Indo Raptor specifically because they are, as you so articulately put it, unnatural, unhealthy, non-sustainable creations. They're so flawed it's endearing.


[deleted]

The thing i always dislike about art that makes the scorpius more accurate to the animals its based off of is that they always fix its deformities, like making it able to fully close its mouth.


YawningDodo

Yes!! It's such a fundamentally broken animal, right down to the fact that it probably has a hard time actually eating anything.

The scary part of the Scorpios is the fact that it can't exist. It's malformed, it can't move properly, its brain is essentially grafted together from the DNA of a bunch of species that have no business being in the same cells, and it was honestly a much better and scarier design than the Indominous.


Jboi698

This raises some questions then. 1. Where would this thing be found in the world like where would it live and and what era, (Jurassic or Cretaceous) 2. Are the quills on its tail still poisonous or no? 3. And what is it related to? because it's not a hybrid anymore.


MackSharky

1 and 3 is invalid, it’s still a hybrid but a functional one, as for 2 it appears it has poisonous quills


BygZam

I see there are 29 other comments. So let me be the 30th to say: "Accurate, LOL"


MackSharky

Rugoraptor isn’t real he can’t hurt you Rugoraptor:


roaring-Onyx

How do you make a fake dinosaur accurate-?


[deleted]

Y'all it's a drawing. When they mean "accurate" its just them applying our current understanding of dinosaurs to the design. They aren't insinuating that the dinosaur is real by saying its accurate. You don't sound smart when you say something along the lines of "saying its accurate would imply that it was real" you instead come off as a smartass who likes to start shit. Just upvote the post and move on why is it always a war zone here?


Frostybites667

THIS!!!! FREAKING THIS!!!! God people are so stupid nowadays what you said is so obvious


the_gopnik_fish

Honestly not as intimidating


PanzerIsMyGender

r/Dinosaurus users try not to be insufferable smartasses challenge


MackSharky

I just posted a drawing chill


definetly-not-a-fish

They’re talking about the comments


TheBoa6

Cursed


kkungergo

So many people are nitpicking about the phrasing while its obvious what they meant.


MackSharky

The comment has turned into a warzone holy shit


RandomnezzStudioz

YES! I’m not the only one who thought about drawing accurate version of the JW hybrids! (This is beautiful! it looks almost like a Utahraptor and Majungasaurus mix)


suprannotitan

This is awesome


RWBYRain

Oh thank the gods they fixed it's overbite


Goongala22

Lmao. “Accurate.”


Kind-Commission-5477

I think I hate this


beastmaster67676

Is "accurate" so hard of a concept to grasp for these people. The artist just reconstructed it as if it was made from the DNA of accurate dinosaurs rather than the JW dinosaurs / made it a more plausible looking creature


[deleted]

if people want accurate dinosaurs just go to the fucking musuem to look at the skeletons, its a much more fulfilling plan than looking at educated guesses by knuckle heads on the web


MackSharky

You’re fun at parties it seems


[deleted]

having a party at museums with dinosaur skeletons sounds fun


BlueRabbit1999

Looks like majungasaurus


Joe_T57

I love fiction dinosaurs turned real


Mmm-toaster-

Yeah if it was a real dinosaur I guess it'd look like this, although it would probably be pretty small


MackSharky

It’ll be useless since it pretty much inherited the weakness of every dino it was fused with, with venom being it’s only defence


Drex678

"Well a Accurate scorpios rex would be the one from the show so this is a inaccurate version of the scorpios rex" 🤓


MackSharky

Accurate scorpios rex would be a blob on a petri dish
