The people who argued it was a scavenger assumed it was fully carnivorous.

Never worked with Tasmanian devils myself, but I have worked with cats and still work with dogs. It would be really funny if it turned out Tasmanian devils were easier than either of them lol

And they never get it right. I can't remember from the top of my head a good trampling scene from any paleodoc. It's always *insane theropod acts recklessly for no reason* afair.

As a documentary that is supposed to educate people it is legit an improvement: the original had much better presentation, but that was combined with (sometimes deliberate) misinformation that continues to cause issues in public understanding (with the first and last episodes being unsalvageable)

When the first North American phorusrhacids turned up in the Late Miocene, they probably thought Nimravides was a gigantic Thylacosmilus.

To be fair, that is something that probably happened to a lot of theropods. The issue here is with the context.

We should probably give up on ever seeing phorusrhacids be given proper due, unless one of us decides to make a paleodoc.

Hilarious to see the general online paleo community turning on Tim Haines after worshipping the man for decades, when I was already insanely critical of the guy for several major reasons before what happened at DinoCon exposed his true colors to everyone else.

This might be even worse than the AI endorsement and the fundamental issues with the Walking With series.

It truly is amazing the power generative AI has in making people publicly torch all their principles. After it’s hooked you, all you can do is talk about it. It’s like it consumes what’s left of the mind to propagate its own existence. Like a cognitive parasite

Yeah, I think that's right. Surviving Earth tries to jam a specific narrative style into the sorts of events that (K/PG event aside) are least suited to it

Please do not insult snakes by comparing them to Tim Haines. Snakes do not spread misinformation about the history of life on earth, defend environmental destruction by humans, or endorse an unsustainable, thieving, destructive and unreliable technology.

Well shit. There goes yet another business (Mixam) I was planning on utilizing in the future as they were the only printer I found willing to produce proper manga that has a production base the US. Apparently their customers haven't been happy with them for a while though...

Always ask yourself who is benefiting from all this.

The format served Prehistoric Planet's purpose well: to be Maastrichtian Planet Earth. It comes to Surviving Earth's detriment IMO; extinction events are usually elongated, and focusing on an individual animal narrative doesn't allow you to show that very well
