Jurassic World Dominion Trailer! Thoughts so far


The first trailer for Jurassic World: Dominion has just been uploaded, and boy is there a lot to unpack. I'll let you watch it first, then share some thoughts on it.

  • The film looks incredibly gorgeous, like on the level of the original trilogy. No terrible blue filter... so far.
  • Horseback riding alongside dinosaurs is quite the aesthetic.
  • FEATHERED DINOSAURS ARE IN. Better late then never for the Jurassic World trilogy, I suppose.
    • I love the Therizinosaurus and Pyroraptor for that, even if they aren't perfect.
  • The new Parasaurolophus designs are also neat.
  • So is seeing a very good Quetzalcoatlus attacking.
  • But I don't like the new raptors (apparently Atrociraptor), barely a step up from the regular ones we've seen.
  • Grant, Ellie, and Ian are back and together, and hopefully they do it an organic way and not just in a fanservicey one.
Well it seems the Prologue was not messing around. I'm cautiously optimistic for the film and will see it in theatres.

Goodbye for now, and stay safe!

Mesozoic Mind's Walking with Dinosaurs fan remake: 2nd Anniversary Special

Image
Two years. Two years at Mesozoic Mind , through ups and downs and bringing you the best I could give you, and expanded my horizons in life, to go where I could only dream of. To celebrate, here's what I made for all of you readers as a gift: remaking Walking with Dinosaurs for the 21st century as I'd do it. Yeah, I know, people stopped doing this kind of thing years ago, but what the heck, I wanted to do it myself, and I only really do the big ones for special occasions like these. The episodes would be quite different from the origials in setting, but would stil have enough rocognisable creature archtypes and plot beats to show which corresponds to which. Although I still see fit to tell you which is which. Also, please forgive any anachronisms in the lineups I have created. I tried my best to avoid them. Also also, the pictures used here serve to get an idea of what things would feel or look like, not be direct representations. Episode One - Archosauria Art by Olmagon Set in

Guest Post: Prehistoric Planet Season Three by Mr-Ultra

Happy holidays! Today's article isn't by me, but an acquaintance of mine Mason Pierce, A.K.A Mr-Ultra, and I helped work on it. He's a guy who already posted this on his Tumblr , we agreed it would also be posted here with a few mods added (see if you can spot them). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Prehistoric Planet Season Three Now, it should be no secret that I frankly adore Prehistoric Planet for what it is. I’ve already done a whole article going over what a possible 2nd season would be like, and now that it’s been months since the release of the actual Season 2, I’ve come to accept how it returned to the Maasrichtian of the Late Cretaceous. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for PHP to showcase animals and habitats from other time periods as much as the next guy, as I think a season based on the Oxfordian stage of the Late Jurassic would be great. However, with that said, I’m content with the show staying within the Maasrichtian for a

The Beasts of Budapest Park: A Mini-Review

Image
I apologise for the nearly-month hiatus at Mesozoic Mind. I had other projects to work on. But don't worry, this blog is still active, so welcome back everyone. And I've been to a new place today (well kind of, as you shall learn) that's on my my mind today - my Mesozoic mind. Today as part of an excersise walk with my personal trainer, I went along the waterfront of Toronto and eventually went to Budapest Park, located on the west side of Toronto on its Lakeshore. It wasn't planned, and I have never set foot thewre, but we did so. Budapest Park itself is a smalk lakeside park not unlike others out there, save for one thing I came for now that it was in walking distance for me: it has dinosaur statues. The statues consist of two ornithischians, Chasmosaurus and a Stegosaurus . They are made of concrete and are small, at the very least as tall as me. Apparently they came from a now-closed park open in the 1960's and 70's in Huntsville, Muskoka Dinosaur Land, that
