MemberCompsognathusAug-08-2013 3:46 PMI can see that happening. I would like to see one of them make a small appearance, like the one of Dilophosaurus. Maybe killing somebody.

MemberCompsognathusAug-08-2013 3:58 PMThe picture is legit; I just watched Jurassic Park. I agree with you both, and I think Metri could very well be JackHorner's "terrifying" new dinosaur.

MemberCompsognathusAug-08-2013 4:51 PMI hate that theory.
Anyways, I think it's either going to be Metri or Carno "competing" for the role of minor predator with T-rex and Raptors maintaining their hold on the main predator spot.

MemberCompsognathusAug-08-2013 6:34 PMDid anyone else notice Stegosaurus was misspelled?
Also, by Metriacanthosaurus they meant Yangchuanosaurus because Yangchuanosaurus was at the time considered a species of Metriacanthosaurus.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-08-2013 6:54 PMI noticed that Stegosaurus was misspelled, and so was Tyrannosaurus. Yang or Metri, either would be cool.

MrHappy, I love that video. BTW, did anyone notice how they said
T-rex may be the largest land predator ever? Score 1 for me, haha

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:00 AMYangchuanosaurus was heavier than Allosaurus fragilis, and just as long. If A would count as a super predator, then so would Y.
Lord Vader
MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-09-2013 10:05 AMIf Yang qualifies as a super predator, then it will still be minor in the movie, as T-Rex will be in the movie as well.

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:09 AMI guess it would be. But give them a pack and T. rex is dead.
Rex Fan 684
MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:11 AMWhy is T-rex always getting killed in your scenarios?
I still want to see some more pack hunting with the tyrannosaurs. Like in TLW.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-09-2013 10:12 AMIt would be a good fight, and it is possible for T-Rex to win. I doubt that Spielberg would have Rex killed by a minor predator, or at all.

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:13 AMOkay, I would like to see a Spinosaurus get killed by a pack of Giganotosaurus. Nobody can complain that that isn't how it would have gone and Giganotosaurus pack would have been killed by Spino.
Deltadromeus
MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:15 AMOh, and to answer your question rex fan, the reason I have T. rex get killed is because it wouldn't stand a chance against large pack dinosaurs. I'm not a very big fan of T. rex either. Of course I'm not very big on Spino too.
Lord Vader
MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-09-2013 10:16 AMI think one Giga would give Spino a lot of trouble, let alone two or three.
Anyone else remember my one idea with the Spino pair, with one getting killed by a pack of 3 Giga, the other running away.

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:18 AMI'm not talking about 2-3 Giganotosaurus, I'm talking about a sauropod killing 6-7.
Lord Vader
MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-09-2013 10:21 AMThen nothing would stand a chance.
Lets focus on the intention of this discussion, Metriacanthosaurus/Yanchuanosaurus in Jurassic Park 4.

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:21 AMWell let's leave our biased opinions of which dinosaur is our favorite out of this shall we? That goes for everyone.
Trevorrow and Spielberg would never let T-rex get killed by a predator smaller than it. Spino was controversial enough. Even though a pack of Yangs/Metris are deadly, the general public would be even more miffed if they see something smaller than T-rex kill a T-rex. The disliked Spino for it, but at least Spino was in the same size class as T-rex. Metri/Yang are like what, half the weight, of T-rex? Get my point?

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:23 AMI do really want to see Yang on jp4. Its my second favorite dinosaur, what can you say. I would think it could be a nasty dinosaur that you wouldn't want to run into, and they do. It could kill someone, chase them around. Destroy a bit of stuff. And then get killed at the very end when T. rex saves the humans form it.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-09-2013 10:26 AMLike with Velociraptors in the first movie, but not as important. Give Rex it's hero moment in the movie, didn't see/don't remember if there was a Rex hero scene in the second movie, and Spino saved the people from the Carno in a way in the third.

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:28 AMNot really. Remember, in the book, Carno was up by the second movie. Spino saved people from Cerato.

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:29 AMOh, and Carno was not in JP 3. It was Ceratosaurus.

MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:35 AMBack to the Allosaurs. It would be cool to have a final dramatic fight at the end. Yang vs T. rex. Yang may be half as heavy, but is a hole lot faster. It was only 5 feet shorter too.
Deltadromeus
MemberCompsognathusAug-09-2013 10:37 AMOh and I do. That has happened to me and I'm sure you on many occasions.
