    And to anyone about to say ‘those dinosaurs weren’t from the Jurassic’ neither were many from the movie. It’s just branding.

      THOSE DINOSAURS?! You mean the birds that went extinct in the 17th and 20th centuries?!

      Edit: this comment annoyed me so much that I went and did research. Apparently, dinosaur no longer means reptiles that went extinct 66 million years ago. Not only are the feathery, hollow-boned bitches known as avian theropods considered dinosaurs, but everything that evolved from them also apparently gets to be called a dinosaur. Fuck that. It’s like Pluto all over again. Goddamn it.

      Edit 2: You know what? Fuck that. Dinosaur means terrible lizard. If it’s not a lizard, it shouldn’t be a dinosaur. And don’t give me that shit about “it has lizard hips.” I have child-bearing hips, and it doesn’t make me a mother. Fuck you. I want to fight a paleontologist.

      Edit 3: Today is my birthday, and this ruined it. We’re enemies now.
