The first one set the bar very high, of course. It’s a motherfucking masterpiece of action/adventure cinema. But that’s no excuse for III being terrible.
The recent-ish game just said the lack of feathers, along with many other oddities, were the result of the DNA reconstruction and patchjob resulting in unexpected side effects. Also why the Dilos are so tiny when they should be bigger than the raptors.
A similar thing I recently pondered: Why does the t-rex roar? What kind of reptilian vocalizes like that? An animal that big ought to have a lot more bass. Just look at cassowaries and emus.
Personally, I would be far more terrified of a deep, chest-rattling rumble than those piercing screams.
Not that movie theaters could accurately produce something like that, though.
Non-avian dinos would have hissed. Even avians of the era when the non-avian ones were still around would have hissed. The syrinx wouldn’t evolve for some time. (There are actually birds who lack it today – though that may have been a secondary loss – who hiss.)

I loved that showdown in Dumbing of Age.
Jurassic Park III was soooooooo bad.

… THOSE DON’T EVEN COUNT AS FEATHERS!

Part 3 is when the try to find the recipe after leaving the cake out in the rain, right?
Is that a double reference to both MacArthur Park and Weird Al’s Jurassic Park parody of it? Wow.

Did this get re-used word for word in DoA, or am I imagining things?
