Great! Can´t wait for „Neornithines Resurrected“ where we will see the biggest killer bird of all time, Argentavis, picking up Terror Birds in its claws, and “Neornithine Fight Club” where we will see a pack of Harris Hawks attacking a herd of ostriches.
Just toying with the ideas^^

You must have been reading my mind, or something. Those aren't the exact titles and taxa I'm using, but you're hitting pretty close.

Well, those were the only bad documentaries of the last years I can think of.

Same here, I confess. But the sudden explosion of bad dino docs in recent years is enough to parody.
Luckily Reign of the Dinosaurs looks promising from what we know of it.

I love you for this.
(Only nitpick: "Top-Notch animation" should probably be changed to "Sub-Playstation-1 CGI".)

Haha, brilliant. Sadly it wouldn't surprise me if eventually they did something like this for enantiornithines or something. "Avisaurus... T. rex of the air... could disembowel a hadrosaur from 3 miles away using only its bad attitude..."

Haha, I just finished laughing. If Last Day of the Dinosaurs is any guide, that sounds right up their alley.
(Not that I've seen Last Day of the Dinosaurs - or dare to. But just reading the Wikipedia page and its overly long, detailed synopsis makes me go, "What?"
Example: "A Triceratops roars at the Ankylosaurus. Suddenly, a T. rex appears. It roars at the herbivores. Then it kills the Triceratops. The Ankylosaurus tries to defend itself with its heavy tail club, but it's too weak to fight. The Tyrannosaurus flips the Ankylosaurus over and bites its soft underbelly, killing it. Then the Tyrannosaurus collapses from hunger. It falls on the Triceratops' horn and is impaled by it.")

Hmm.. An Eagle attacks a babirusa and kills it, then moves in on an armadillo. It manges to turn it upside-down but is hit by the mammal's flailing tail in the wing. It promptly crashes into the babirusa's tusk and dies.
It's a shame their are no horned (weapons not display) or armoured birds.

Its actually not that bad...
Well except for the scene where they compare dromeasaurs to jackles (which is a very accurate description IMO) and then have two of them kill a healthy adult hadrosaur XD

"Not that I've seen Last Day of the Dinosaurs - or dare to."
Just in case you're feeling brave: [link]
"Example"
B-4 watching LDotD, that scene was what I would've expected from a "Final Destination" movie, not from a dino doc. BTW, Wiki got is wrong (I.e. The T.rex fell b/c it tripped over the Ankylosaurus' tail).

Thanks for the video; I eventually did watch part of the show on Youtube, but the videos I found were of rather poor quality.

Wow, I smell biasey. It would have been better if they'd all killed each other in battle or something.

Maybe they wanted to make up for having rexy smashed in the ankle and stabbed in the eye during Clash of the Dinosaurs. XD
They also play straight my "favorite" trope of Let's Have A Handful of Small Raptors Kill a Big Defenseless Duckbill by having two Saurornithoides kill Charonosaurus. You know, Saurornithoides. A troodont... which eats plants and "small" animals. Two of them. And Charonosaurus, a very large hadrosaur that weighs several tons. Facepalm.

Well, they have TWO Deinonychus taken down a subadult Sauroposeidon. Seriosly.

Ah yes, I know the series you're parodying. XD
I still feel bad for the guy though, even though it was noticed and (hopefully) being fixed.

Perhaps the worst part of it was that after he contacted the company about it they essentially confessed that they did it to be "aware of the demands of the audience" and didn't apologize at all. Moral Event Horizon much? In the end, it was Discovery who stepped in and promised to fix it up for future releases.

Yeah...for that, I appauld Discovery.

I also just realised (as another dig) Mononykus' name was mis-spelled. XD

I was wondering when someone would notice. XD
