T-Rex: So for this scene did you want a long pondering stare, like I’m figuring out who I am-
Director: LOL bro just roar AIGHT!? Action!

Bet they honked like a goose.

If they did, it would at least be a lot lower-pitched than a goose. Vocalization frequency tends to scale with the size of an animal.
So I'm guessing their honk would sound more like a foghorn ... which is kind of terrifying in its own way.

HOOOOOOONK

I mean, sure. Maybe. Probably?
But can you imagine anything more terrifying than a multi-ton Canada goose charging and honking at you?

Counterexample: cheetahs. They sort of meow instead of roaring.

Have you heard what a horny moose sounds like? Although I guess that’s not technically a “vocalization”.

Didn't they have feathers? Or was that another era?
OwOarchist@pawb.social · 5 pts · 1d
Yes, current consensus is that T-Rex probably had at least some feathers.

It’s pretty tragic that even to this day she isn’t credited by name.

The fan base calls her Roberta. Or Rexie
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1d
To say nothing of what they made her do to get the role. :(

She's a clever girl.

Which implies that the T-Rex already had a major role in a movie 55 million years ago and now I'm curious in what movie?
MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 1d
I'm more impressed that they filmed a movie 10 million years after all the other dinosaurs went extinct.

Should have soaked them up with her feathers

Please don't make fun of her female-pattern baldness

That dude looks like a young John Oliver - which can't be, because that guy was born old
Mantzy81@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 1d
I think you mean John Oliver. Jamie Oliver is the chef

The "Rex" in T-Rex means "king" in Latin. Therefore, the female T-Rex's name should be Regina, which means "Queen" in Latin.
wewbull@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 1d
What about King Kong? That was pretty big at the time. Sure, it's more of a supporting role, but still significant.

Her name was T-Rex?? That’s like naming a dog “Dog”
