The reason for the stretched skin look for dinosaurs initially is because of the comparison to lizards, who do frequently have their skin stretched on their bones except in a few places. Unfortunately things like that have momentum, so changing it takes even longer than it took to catch on.
I'm still pissed at Jurassic World cowardly going with the old designs when they could have shown the current knowledge, much like the original movie has.
I haven't watched Jurassic World, but wasn't that kinda explained with the frog DNA? I heard something to that effect. Meaning that they knew they weren't like the original animals.
yes, henry wu even says something along the lines of that.
Yeah, that's not even remotely relevant to what I was talking about.
Eh, in universe it fits the continuity. They're not dinosaurs, they're lab created animals that fit an inaccurate public perception of dinosaurs . Corpos keep corping, why mess with a winning formula
