It's not clear that all dinos had feathers just some. And even then the Cretaceous period is the super feather one for sure. Jurassic or whatever dinosaurs may not have had any yet. Also as said frick science for rule of cool.
Because T-Rexes didn't have feathers. At least not as adults.

dinosaurs will literally be exactly like any plistocine mammal or mega-fauna: completely ignored by kids if the feather gays have their way. museums will close, the sciences will falter, society will collapse.
ironically the very future of MANKIND hinges on dinosaurs being terrible thunder lizards.
All this shit fight over feathers aside, Primal works best without feathered dinos considering it takes a lot from those fictional/cartoonish view of pre-history with humans, dinosaurs and general megafauna living together.

Actual T-rexes lost their feathers as they grew up. Pic related was what a baby t-rex looked like. I will now ruin the cuteness by informing you that most of them died long before they made it to adulthood. Typically, not even past 1 year.
The problem is the people who insist that every single species of dinosaur was covered head-to-toe with the exact same feathers modern birds have, and the people (who often overlap with the former group) who ignore the physical evidence we have to push their agenda. The biggest example is Tyrannosaurus rex, we have skin impressions from various parts of its body that have absolutely no evidence of any kind of feather, fluff, or filament. So naturally these people scream "Then all of the feathers were on the places we don't have impressions of!". If we had a T. rex skin impression as detailed and thorough as we do of Carnotaurus, which is an entire side of its body, they'd claim that the feathers were on the other half.
"Retcon" doesn't exist in real life. It's called gaining knowledge and adjusting what we know based on reality. Do you still believe in Santa Claus after your parents told you they were the ones who put the presents under the tree?
>"Retcon" doesn't exist in real life. >he doesn't know
If you're talking about Soviet leaders removing people from photographs and books, no that's not retconning.
Two questions >which dinosaur is considered the most pure “reptilian”, or the one farthest from being avian? >do they think there are more dinosaur species left to discover or do they think we found all that we could?
Any dinosaur that's quadrupedal.
We know that we'll never find every single life form that existed before us.
Also it works waaaay better with the classic cave-rock aesthetic of the series
Like next you'll tell me giant spiders are supposed to shoot their webs out of their ASSES instead of the mouth

On the second, not at all
Half the time scientists don't even know if what they find is actually a new animal, or just a smaller/bigger specimen of something that's already been documented
the first dinosaurs (pic unrelated; closer relative to stegosaurus than to birds) were small, bipedal, most likely covered with fur-like simple feathers, and carnivorous/insectivorous. all in all, the first weren't too different in terms of body plan from the much later ones that are really, really close to birds, like compsognathus. from their beginnings they were very different from the "typical" reptile
it would take a time machine to have a hope of finding every species that was. there are huge chunks of the geologic record that are straight up gone: dust, or back in the earth's mantle
There were feathered dinosaurs in episode 10 iirc. And Genndy's idea of Primal's world-building is that it's a world where every species "evolves at different times".
Does it matter? Ignoring the fact that Primal is fiction, we're never going to have a clear indication of what Dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus really looked like. If anything we need to look at modern-day birds and reptiles and figure out all the new genes they acquired during their evolution, and then "turn off" those genes, and then we'd have an idea of what a random dinosaur could have looked like. But it's a shame that paleontologists and scientists have been meme'ing about turning a bird into a dinosaur through this process for years but never actually does it.

Sam reason it has dinosaurs and humans coexisting: frick scientific accuracy.

or if they did, it'd be equivalent to adult elephants who have a sparse coating along their back, as depicted in Prehistoric Planet
Woah you just unruined Dinosaurs. Nice

Raptors are still big goofy birds
Say that to my face and not online and see what happens
The other kind of raptors.
heh
nice

This hyperbole aligns with my opinions and thus I choose to believe it.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
that doesn't look cool
ummmmm her name is FANG

Because feathers are fricking lame and scientists are stupid.
>Because feathers are fricking lame
>implying
b***h it has fricking voodoo magic, zombies and demon dinos and you're concerned about the lack of feathers?
yes
Why isn't she made of metal and transform into a robot?
The viewership can only get so erect before the lawsuits start pouring in
This is a man who knows his business. I already love Fang, please don't make it sexual for me.
Why are so many people butthurt over the possibility that dino's had feathers?
Feathered Dinosaurs are fricking gay
They are unaesthetic.
Because some people are butthurt that dinosaurs are just ancient animals and not scary monsters

nah.
Oddly I don't appear to have this problem.
This is your mind on degenerate porn. Any questions?

Genuinely unthinkably shit taste

Why is its mouth so tiny?
es babeh.
Is that supposed to be cute? It's straight up loony toons.
It IS cute.
This is what looked like as Teens.
And finally, adults.
>Pic related was what some people baby t-rex looked like
FTFY. Their snouts weren't that tiny and beak-like.
And this is based on?
The one skin impression we have of a juvenile Rex was scales with no indication of feathers
No, that's just an ugly AMNH reconstruction. THIS is what T. rex looked like as a baby
Terror chickens are unironically cooler than bland lizards
don't tell me a plushie of this fricker wouldnt move millions of units

Better question: Why does Fang have blue Jasper stripes?
Because dinosaurs with feathers is the shittiest real-life retcon in history.
"Retcon" doesn't exist in real life. It's called gaining knowledge and adjusting what we know based on reality. Do you still believe in Santa Claus after your parents told you they were the ones who put the presents under the tree?
But... NORAD tracks Santa every year at Christmas!
"Retcon"s certainly exists in real life
If you're talking about Soviet leaders removing people from photographs and books, no that's not retconning.

>Why doesn’t primal have feathers?
do you want feathers? here is my son, you have no idea how much I love this little boy.
At what point did you think Primal was supposed to be a realistic depiction of prehistoric times, OP?
Was it when a dinosaur and a caveman lived at the same time?
Was it when a snake the size of an oil tanker showed up?
Was it when giant bat-monsters and a giant spider showed up?
Was it when a weird, half-evolved monkey man drank magical black goo and turned into the Hulk?
And I haven't even gotten into Season 2.

I refuse to believe it
I may actually commit sudoku if Genndy splits them apart
Projecting yourself and your cuckold fantasies into Spear again?
fang actually

This thread reminded me that I found the movie that might've inspired this whole show.
Who wants to see cute little dino babies get eaten, japan style?
I know that Casey Rankin, an American musician, contributed to the soundtrack for that film. If you're into -appealingly- (imo) cheesy '70s fusion, then it's a nice listen.
