Tropes You Love

>>94437137
>when a tv show gets a movie and the animation is ever so slightly smoother.

>Movie series
>Protagonist takes a moment to look over the items he has collected from past adventures

>>94437423
>that scene in comics where the character's inventory is laid out and everything is labeled with descriptions

>>94437137
Dumb frogposter.

>>94437423
>aninated series that seems to not have a continuity
>an episode near the end of the series has a shot showing nicknacks and newspaper clippings referencing previous episodes.

>>94437954
Ugh, I HATE that trope, and anything similar to it. It comes off as some kind of really cheap trick.

>>94437464
>Walls of weapons
>Cases of artifacts
>Other such collections of goodies to look at, often full of Easter eggs

>>94437137
They explained it in the books that it was the frog DNA that cause the visual issue, as frogs hunt by movement. Hell you could attribute all the issues with the dinos of JP as mutations the scientists added to them. (Which would make the frilled spitting dino kind of a prototype of the I-Rex.)

>>94437137
>villain treats incredibly depraved acts, from genocide to planetary annihilation, like a fun hobby
>imitates a character mourning another presumed dead character in a dopey voice while laughing hysterically

Any villain that is a completely irredeemable sack of shit for the sole reason that they find it to be fun is auto-GOAT.

>the villain does their own version of the hero's transformation or attack

>>94438081
will also explain why the spino got buffed (t-rex fags still salty about that one?) in the third.

makes even more of a convincing prototype for the I-rex.

>>94437137
Is there any predator where that tactic will work?

>>94438081
I haven't read the books, but it sounds like they made a smart decision by including the frog dna thing just for the sake of having an excuse when inevitable new discoveries about dinosaurs would be made.

>>94438213
not /co/ but Hazama/Terumi from Blazblue was one my favorite villains that did exactly this.

>>94439618
Most
It's why most prey animals will freeze if they think they're being watched.

It's just not 100%, which is why prey will run if they think they're still being stalked

>>94439659
>>94439618
This is incorrect, the only predator this works on is frogs.

If you freeze up in the presence of any aggressive animal even half the size of a human it can see you just fine

>>94439704
If they see you.
Moving while camouflaged is counter productive.
Which is why, like I said, prey animals like rabbit or even deer will freeze if they feel being stalked.

>>94439618
It doesn't work in the way that they can't see you it works in that it kind of confuses em. Like why the fuck isn't this food trying to escape, and oh shit its running it must be food. Unless you are in their territory, most carnivores can be stopped by standing your ground and then trying to spook em. They are easily startled. You could prolly scare away 99% of predators by popping open an umbrella, cuz it will trigger literally all of their oh shit instincts.

>>94438213
I find those characters kinda boring unless there's a little subtlety to them. If they're just constantly laughing evilly, cracking jokes about dead people, and doing the "But for me it was Tuesday" thing, then they just come across as a corny Joker ripoff. I like it better when the irredeemable psychopath is mostly stoic or is eerily ordinary.

>>94439629
Read 'em. If for any reason that the sequel book is a completely different story than the sequel movie.

>>94439618
The tyrannosaurus has the best sense of smell recorded even at conservative estimates, if one targeted you you would literally have to find away to instantly move miles away to get it off your track

The eye positioning is consistent with predator birds and indicates better vision than eagles and hawks

>>94439740
In which case you're utterly correct

>>94439588
Name 3 (THREE) examples of this.

>>94437137
>Character is revealed to be the traitor
>Cue montage of character doing traitorous acts in the past
>It really happened in the episode and not just a cop out
>You can actually go back to the episode and see it happen, but it was so subtle that you never took notice of it

>one of (if not the) most heavily built predatory dinosaurs
>agile for it's size
>great eyesight
>great sense of smell
>second most powerful bite force in recorded history (only under megalodon)
>while speed estimates vary wildly the minimum speed is 12 mph (faster than it's prey items)

it was like it evolved to be based

One of the people that the protag talks to or interacts with often is an legendary person from the past.

>>94437137
Being a trope means it happens fairly frequently, non?

>>94440116
If you want a better example check his grandson
Chickens defeat every single animal they fight
Check YT and tell me I'm wrong

I dunno if trope but shows that looked like X-Men TAS, Gargoyles, 90's shows like that. What the FUCK happened to that style? It's probably not the best style overall but it's my personal favorite and it pretty much disappearing in the 00's really fucking blows. Some of those DC animated movies have a similar style but even they're not quite there.

It was "realistic" without looking boring, it was colorful and well cartoony without being totally goofy shit.

uh
I also really like well-established big rogues galleries no matter how pattern they get. Actions shows like Korra that only cycle through a couple villains can get really boring.

Also protags going evil/darker, really a sucker for Symbiote Spider-Man type of shit.

The lobotomized Joker in the Justice Lords episode. I think a few of the Gargoyles villains did this as well; maybe Dracon or one of the Pack.

Mainly it's a /tv/ trope; some examples would be Henry from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer or the killer in Citizen X.

I'm not saying whether they are scientifically accurate or not. Just that they look dumb.

Calvin & Hobbes didn't have feathered dinos either, because they look dumb.

That actually looks really fucking stupid.
Do you think birds and lions look stupid?

>>94443150
He said it in the first book too. Wu tries to get Hammond to let him make the dinosaurs have slower metabolisms so they are less dangerous, but Hammond whines that then the dinosaurs wouldn't be "real". Wu tries to point out that they're not real now with their frog dna but Hammond brushes him off.
