- freshyill 12y agoOn one hand, the scaly dinosaurs many of us grew up with were a lie. On the other hand, big dumb lizards frankly aren't very interesting. Feathers on most dinosaurs will take some getting used to, but I think they have the potential to be a lot more interesting. Pop culture has a lot of catching up to do. Even the upcoming Jurassic World movie is planning to show velociraptors with no feathers. I really hope my daughter will be as interested in dinosaurs at a young age as I was, but if just wish I could show her more accurate dinosaurs.
