#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'.
#WWD2025
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.
#MesozoicLifeProject
'Why should I help support #RiverOfGiants?'
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/?)
#WWD2025: THE TRAILER BREAKDOWN VOL III.
Yes. Your eyes haven't deceived you. WE GOT ANOTHER TRAILER. (1/?)
As you can see, the video/screenshot quality is not great. The video is from youtube. Judging by the fact that it's not on any BBC websites, it's probably recorded from TV.
The trailer opens with--OMG. OMG. SOMEONE FIT THIS TRAILER TO THE ORIGINAL WWD OPENING THEME! (2/?)
Time of the titans.
Judging by the environment, these are the titanosaurs that live alongside the speen. They are either an intermediate unnamed species found in the Kem Kem Beds or just migratory Paralititan. (3/?)
