It is...inevitable.
BREAKDOWN: FIFTH TRAILER. (1/?)
This is actually just an extension of the fourth trailer. Scenes already shown in earlier trailers won't be covered.
#LifeOnOurPlanet #TheDinosaurs
I CANNOT WAIT. LET'S BEGIN IMMEDIATELY!
BREAKDOWN OF THE FIRST TRAILER OF 'THE DINOSAURS'--a thread! (1/?)
We start with a scene taking place (presumably) off the coast of Africa: a shark being snatched from the ocean by a Spinosaurus! (2/?)
Note that the Spinosaurus does not have the M-shaped sail present in reconstructions made by Dr. Nizar Ibrahim, and instead resembles the skeletal made by Dr. Scott Hartman. It's also more 'Heron' than WWD2025's Sobek. (3/?)
#WWD2025
After some thought, I realised that, in my moment of gladness at seeing a docu that (reportedly and from what I saw) strongly adheres to consultants' views, I have made perhaps my biggest blunder yet. An APOLOGY thread and some explanation:
When I posted this tweet, I was comparing the WWD2025 team's attitude towards consultants with the attitudes of some other teams...
Teams that, for instance, went for a completely-off quetz model even when their consultant explicitly showed how to reconstruct an azhdarchid.
Teams that, for instance, thought a scientifically-credible model looked like 'Foghorn Leghorn' and tried to make it 'scary'.

After gathering known info regarding the animal models and the comic version of Mesozoic Life, I give you:
10 REASONS WHY A FULLY-FUNDED MESOZOIC LIFE PROJECT WOULD BE UNPRECEDENTED AND SPECTACULAR: A THREAD! (1/?)
REASON 1: A NEW SPINO!
Think WWD2025 got the definitive Spino?
Remember: Given the same fossil evidence, there can be lots of room for reconstruction creativity!
#MesozoicLifeProject spino has two features not seen in ANY OTHER paleo docu: FILAMENTS and ROBUST BUILD! (3/?)
