The Most Underrated Palaeo-Documentary of all time! (may be NSFW)

 Hello to all, and Mesozoic Mind still exists. Today, we will discuss perhaps the most infamous piece of palaeo-media anywhere, from 2010, a bright light in the dark age of the Awesomebro period, Tyrannosaurus Sex. *Heavenly choir*

Even the release art is awe-inspiring. It is said that David Krentz saw it as a child and inspired him to make some of the most accurate prehistoric life depictions ever

That is one of the best titles for any work ever, let alone palaeo-media. It's not generic, and its a clever pun that tells one all they need to know: this is about the sex lives of dinosaurs. That is all.

Don't believe me on how good this documentary is? Just watch this clip, as the full thing could choke you with its brilliance.

Absolute genius, discussing sauropod penis size in the most eloquent way imaginable. The script is such, and the narration is pleasing to hear, even better that pretentious lowlife Kenneth Branagh.

if that weren't enough, guess what the star of the show Tyrannosaurus itself has?

That's right, god damn feathers! You think Walking with Dinosaurs had feathers on its rex? or Jurassic Park's (which in no way this is a copy of)? Nope, but this gold sure does. Everyone knows such a big animal had feathers like small birds, no way it could overheat there.

Really, everything about Tyrannosaurus Sex is god tier. The CG and graphics are photorealistic, the accuracy is true to life and ahead of its time, and the music would make John Williams, Ben Bartlett, and Mozart weep together.

It is a goddamn crime the public has forgotten this masterpiece. They ignore it and shun its subject matter because they lack the stomach to stomach it. It is a stunning work of art, let alone palaeo-media.

Tyrannosaurus Sex is probably the high point climax of palaeo-media. Its the utter high point of it: there's no way you can top showing a T. rex all but orgasm or discuss how big sauropod penises were. Nothing comes close to it. It would be the one media anywhere I'd want to see at the end of my life as I lay dying on my death bed. To watch it is to achieve enlightenment and unity with the cosmos.

........................................

Okay in all seriousness and April Fools crap aside, Tyrannosaurus Sex is legitimately a pretty good documentary. The premise is if nothing else novel, and goes into detail about the reproduction of dinosaurs and how it all fits into their biology and their evolutionary success. Also, props must be given for how damn seriously it takes itself for the better, never once making puerile jokes about the matter, and is downright hilarious at that too.

Mind you, there are still some problems with it: the animation is on the mediocre side, the anatomy on the dinosaurs is often suspect, and there isn't much variety to the lineup at just 3 genera. Still, I actually do recommend Tyrannosaurus Sex thanks to its hilarious premise and surprisingly in-depth content.

You can consider this a preview of a more serious review in the future.

That's all for now. I whipped this obligatory April Fools gag review up in just under a few hours.
