Happy 8th year to the channel! Thank you guys so much for supporting the journey in uncovering some of the weirdest and coolest paleomedia that I've gotten the pleasure (and sometimes displeasure) of experiencing!
Tales of kaimere has sauropods that evolved spikes.
Congrats on 8 years! Here's to many more!
So cool 😎
that was great Bro
Thanks for this video as my favourite dinosaur IS a sauropod.
I just unlocked a core memory from my childhood, watching the TMNT 1987 series and seeing the Turtles riding on a literal diplodocus Donatello named Dippy!
One of the few old dinosaur tropes I wouldn't mind to bring back is the aggressive/miscievous sauropod.
Like, it makes ZERO SENSE for such big and powerful animals to be just passive lumps of walking meat.
Sauropod, in original King Kong, basically behaves just like angry hippo.
I’d watch a whole series of this concept with other popular dinosaurs, I bet some interesting patterns would emerge after a few videos
I had a lot of fun putting this video together. I would love to do this again with other dinosaurs and prehistoric animals
oh. boy. Spinosaurus is gonna be quite a ride.
Holy fucking shit a kaimere reference in the wild this made my day
I find it funny how the artistic depiction of Atlantosaurus resembles a monitor lizard, because I recently looked back at the dinosaur episode of Zoboomafoo due to nostalgia and not only do they feature a monitor lizard as an animal similar to dinosaurs, they directly compared it to Brontosaurus!
Time really is a circle huh.
Also I'm surprised you didn't mention the Paleosaurus from The Giant Behemoth as an aggressive depiction of a sauropod, one of the few times you see sauropods as kaiju.
Savage carnivorous sauropods should be utilized again in media and video games.
Imagine, your in a post apocalyptic world with dinos in it. Your on the tenth floor of a building, and you overlook through the window a pack of theropods running; seemingly out of fear. You look back inside the apartment for a second to realize that the ways are blocked so that no dromeosaur would get in.
Then when you look back at the window, you are face to face with a monster with an irregulalry long neck, rabid eyes that stare insatiably into your soul, and an open maw with fresh crimson.
They don't need to be carnivorous. They could just be aggressive as hippos.
Long necked hippos the size of the buildings. Now, that's terrifying.
based statement and a very cool idea
I think Sauropods are going to be in media for a very very very VERY long time.
So do I!
An excellent deep dive into sauropods in media! Fantastic video! Was hyped when Prehistoric Park got name dropped. I adored that show as a kid. Same as When Dinosaurus Roamed America. Anyways here's to many more years of Dino Diego videos!
Hey, thanks for crediting me! (Unlike some other people…)
You run a great blogsite. It has helped with several of my videos. It's the least I could do!
I want to see a sauropod beat the stuffing out of a carnivore in a future Jurassic world movie
A sauropod/theropod battle in the Jurassic World movies would be amazing!
Well, sauropods are big and majestic animals. That’s why they’re so popular.
Congratulations to 8 years of your passion, man! Here's to many more years to come.
My favorite group of dinosaurs :)
Sludge from Transformers isn't really an exception to the "gentle giant" trope; his bio calls him "Gentle and shy, but terrifying and unstoppable in battle."
Sounds like we got the best of both worlds from him
Congratulations on your 8 yrs producing content and thanks for introducing me to Paleo media i probably never would have found myself 🦕🤘🏾☮️
It's my absolute pleasure!
Another w for mentioning the Brachiozord. Also it's the 20th anniversary of Dino Thunder, one of the best Power Rangers seasons!
Goddamn your really going places diegon
Hell yee!
When I was growing up in the 1960s, it was all about the 'Brontosaurus'!
If I made clay models of dinosaurs, or drew them, it was the long neck and bulky body I drew, not the big teeth and jaws.
And it was nothing to do with being a pacifist - I had a huge collection of war toys and Airfix models. But we were impressed by the massive SIZE of the dinos, not their ferocity. That came a bit later. I think Jack Horner and Robert Bakkar had a lot to do with it - the idea that dinos were fast and agile changed everything. It set a whole new mood.
Happy 8th anniversary diego
Keep up the great work
Baby was the first movie I remember going to see as a child because I wanted to see it, as opposed to my cousins or what the adults thought I wanted to see [IE: Disney movies].
Also Dino-Riders was my jam, I always wanted the brachiosaurus from the first series, the walking one with the missile pods [seen in the back in the commercial you showed for the brontosaurus]
Baby was a fever dream for me. I remember seeing it as a kid, but for a while after, I thought it was something I just made up in my head until I looked it up years later
Happy anniversary Diego! Hope that there are many more to come!
Appreciate it, Stu!
I love your videos so yeah this is amazing
36:35 Common Diego W
Man this video was so densely packed with popular but also obscure and niche information, I can see the great work and effort you put behind it, this gets a well deserved like
i find them majesticly beautiful due to there massive size bigger than any other animals on land it’s like half Lizard Half Elephant and always love them all the varieties of sauropods 🦕🐋🐳🌊
Sauropod in media even Dinosaur king game/Anime had some
I appreciate you mentioning the Bone Wars. Definitely interested in hearing more about that topic.
even as a gently giant herbivore, there would be very few scarier sights than a behemoth sauropod charging at you
As cursed as trunked sauropods are; they’d make a fantastic fantasy war beast concept.
They really would!
To be fair, the sauropod in the original King Kong might not have been carnivorous but just aggressively territorial!
That could very well be the case! But because the idea of carnivorous sauropods are cool, Im gonna pretend its carnivorous XD
The lizards are funny
Diego as a Catholic I hope you keep growing and one of the highlights of my week is seeing your new posts.
I pray you continue to be more successful and never lose this dedication you have with dinosaurs. My three year old niece has an explosion of passion like yours. I recall as a kid I noticed too my favorite sauropods changed depending on the era. I love all versions and adaptions, even the bad ones.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It's an absolute pleasure to be making content for people like yourself!
45:43 they are descendants of sauropods with unique quirks and such due to their isolation from the rest of the world. I highly recommend the tie in book that goes into depth about all the different bizarre creatures and animals on the island.
Many herbivores will eat meat given the chance. It’s not to big a stretch to think they would eat a man sized mammal given the chance.
This video is great 😃👍 good job Diego, congratulations for the 8 years milestone, I hope there's several more in you
Amazing video!! Sauropods are some of the most amazing dinosaurs that ever walked the earth, I love them so much!!
(Btw, happy anniversary and technically I'm not late because I already congratulated you in Jurassic Junction)
Appreciate it Dirofs!
That being said, I still consider this late. Fake fan smh
I'm sorry my liege, I do not deserve to enjoy your peak content 😭😭😭
A while ago I stopped at the Museum in Price Utah.
They had an amazing collection I would recommend it to anyone but one thing that I was definitely not expecting was that they had one of the original cast from the first dinosaur skeleton ever shown to the public Dippy the Diplodocus
That sounds awesome! I would love to one day be able to visit one of the Dippys!
The reason we see both retro and more modern dinosaurs in Calvin & Hobbes is because in the earlier strips Bill Watterson was basing them off the depictions from his own childhood, but as he began doing more research he started making them more accurate and up-to-date. You can actually see this progression if you look at the strips in order.
Definitely! Love that we got the best of both worlds with his art
Wow! A Jurassic World Alive reference in the wild! Been playing it since day one, 6 years ago now. Gigaspikasaurus was one of my favorites because of the mint green color, and it has another hybrid, too.. glad to see you are continuing to produce incredible content, and seeking out all kinds of new and old sources of information!
@ 20:54 I had that "Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Reptiles" book when I was a kid. I read that thing so many times, it eventually fell apart. I was never very good at it, but I tried so many times to draw every picture in it.
It's depressing how they went from the stars of Gertie, Lost world, and King Kong to basically background characters only cool for their size before skipping over to the theropods. They don't even have a Zord
Titanus: Am I a joke to you?
Sauropods were amazing creatures. My favourite among them is Brachiosaurus and/or Giraffatitan, due to it's unique giraffe-like posture and it's somewhat wise looking facial features compared to other Sauropods.
One thing I didn't see you mention was in an episode of the Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb where the titular characters fixed a time machine that brought them back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. In one scene, Phineas and Ferb escaped from the jaws of a T. rex by holding on to some plant material hanging from a Brachiosaur-like Sauropod's mouth and as the sauropods crossed the river, Phineas let the dinosaur know that they aren't plants, to which it drops him off on the other side.
Brachiosaurus is definitely one of the best sauropods. Also, duly noted but tbf, there were a lot of examples I didn't get a chance to mention just due to the sheer amount of sauropod representation in media XD
@@DinoDiego16
Fair enough.
I just found that to be a noticable Sauropod scene.
I always had the impression that Sauropods were fairly gentle and docile creatures unless of course that tthey were to face a threat from predators or if they had babies to protect, but Prehistoric Planet has shown me a much more brutal side of them with the dueling Dreadnoughtus males.
I used to be an intern at a large natural history museum in Leiden (Near The Hague) and they currently have two Sauropodomorphs on display, A Plateosaurus from Switserland nicknamed Monica and a Camarasaurus from the Morrisson formation that stands on it's hindlegs trying to reach higher vegetation.
Cadillac e Dinosaur,uno dei migliori videogiochi della mia gioventù.
You just stirred a memory with “3D dinosaur adventure”
It was so cool to see dead sound 's dinosauria being mentioned. Also I really wish Robert t Bakker had done a second scientific dinosaur book. Thanks for the video and congrats on 8 yrs. I remember my first Dino encounter. It was with some children's books about individual dinos. Now you can get them in 2 massive anthologies, dinosaurs of land, sea and air and I forgot the other one.
Dinosaur Dream! One of a number of my old books I couldn't remember the name of.
Sauropods will be the most attractive dinosaurs in the movies 🦕🦕🦕
All dinosaurs are majestic but Sauropods are especially so
MY LOVE
HI :D
Sauropod’s are truly the masters of the land either as gentle giants or powerful beings they would remain a staple formreal life kajiu and size limitations
I know you’re not into Pokémon from the Beast From 20,000 Fathoms video, but there were two sauropod-inspired Pokémon added in the 2013 installments, Pokémon X & Y. There, the player can choose to clone one of two extinct Pokémon, with players who choose the Sail Fossil being rewarded with a Amaura, which later evolves into Aurorus. Both of these Pokémon are based on the Amargasaurus.
Another series with a fictional sauropod is Monster Hunter, which features the sauropod-inspired Larinoth in 4th Gen title Monster Hunter: Generations.
I love your videos man 😊
Bayleen mentioned!!!! Wtf is a cave in!!!!!!!Wtf is dying!!!!!, all jokes aside congrats on the 8 years. Ive enjoyed the ride so far.
To play devil's advocate a little bit, the dying Apatosaurus scene in Jurassic World still showcases some good animatronic work to create an emotional beat in the film's story, invoking not just the sick Triceratops but the fate of Littlefoot's mother in The Land Before Time. While it treads familiar ground, it more than succeeded in making me feel sorry for this majestic animal and to root against the monster that killed it.
Having said that, the cliche of Sauropods being absurdly easily to kill meat bags doesn't do the group justice, and I'm glad to see it being phased out for more active and sometimes aggressive interpretations.
You make a decent argument. That being said, the Jurassic World franchise is the biggest dinosaur franchise out there. They could benefit so much more by doing something interesting with their dinosaurs (especially their sauropods), and what's worse, they have the means and resources to do this, yet they don't. It's a shame, really.
@@DinoDiego16 Fair enough. I think it stems from a lack willingness to embrace evidence of herbivore aggression or courting bolder hypotheses. Even something basic but foundational is needed first. The sauropod equivalent of the Stegosaurus protecting their young in TLW would be welcome.
I had the book Dinosaurs and other Reptiles when I was a kid, my mom bought it for me at the A&P supermarket!
Congrats on 8 years man. Sauropods of all variety, from Brachiosaurus to Argentinosaurus, to Amargasaurus to Mamenchisaurus, all of them are majestic.
Most interesting. Just pointing out Thames is pronounced 'temz'. It's the river that runs through London and Oxford etc.
Something just occurred to me.
Modern herbivores will sometimes eat meat, see larger farm animals eating varieties of young poultry. They do this for the nutrient boost such consumption represents.
I wonder if it is in fact possible that sauropods could have done something similar with smaller animals?
Honestly, I could see it happening under certain circumstances. The idea is definitely interesting
The idea of blood-thirsty sauropods might not be that farfetched. We've had cases of modern strict herbivores like horses, cows and even deer found to be opportunistic carnivores, consuming meat, bones and sometimes eating smaller creatures _alive._
Whose to say a massive sauropod wouldn't try that once in while? I'd love to see a dino-documentary explore that!
Peak video. I enjoyed it!!
Monica from Dinosaurs the Jim Henson show needs to be mentioned. She was a badass feminism.
Fun fact... After Bill waterson drew his first few Calvin and Hobbes comics featuring dinos were based on his childhood memories. However this inspired him to read up on dinos. If you read the comic in the order it was published you can see that his Dino's get more accurate. I'm pretty sure there's a pretty big jump at one point as well.
Hope weird birds cover is next
It just might one of these days...
@DinoDiego16 yay!!
BTW, that's the scariest dinosaur story I ever came across. It actually kept me up at night a couple times. The fucking raptor is creepy as hell
It's basically a dinosaur version of Lost Tapes or the the horror movie VHS
titanus from mighty morphin power rangers is also a sauropod, more specifically a Brachiosaurus
46:06
Good to see Brontikens the Apatosaurus get mentioned from Dinosaur King though he could have also mentioned other less known Sauropods showcased in Dinosaur King such as Saltasaurus,Amargasaurus,Seismosaurus(now a species of Diplodocus),Supersaurus,Ampelosaurus,Shunosaurus and Jobaria.But hey that’s just me.Excellent video regardless
#DinosaurKing
If I had it my way, I would've made this video 2 hours long so I could mention a bunch of other sauropods that didn't get as much spotlight. But there's only so much my computer can handle XD. Maybe one day, I'll revise it with more sauropod examples
@@DinoDiego16 It’s ok,it’s still a excellent video regardless
Good see my guy Sludge from Transformers!
Great to see your video about sauropods! History of paleontology was my academic specialty. I wrote theses on William Buckland and Edward Hitchcock, pioneer dinosaur discoverers. There is a 1901 novel which to my knowledge includes the first depiction of a live brontosaurus.
If you look at the description of the brontosaurus from the 1901 novel it appears almost lovecraftian, not like the gentle giants we think of sauropods nowadays. www.loc.gov/resource/gdcmassbookdig.beyondgreatsouth00savi/?sp=204
If you look at the description of the brontosaurus from the 1901 novel it appears almost lovecraftian, not like the gentle giants we think of sauropods nowadays.
There’s an earlier novel involving dinosaurs from 1888 but those are the ones found in the Wealden by Buckland and Mantell, (Iguanodon & Megalosaurus) not the classic Jurassic specimens which were first discovered in 1877 (Allosaurus, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus etc)
Ah I see you mentioned Beyond the Great South Wall.
happy 8th year diego, love your content
If you ever do a follow up video with sauropods you missed out on, please include Gigasaurus from the second episode of Ultraman: Towards the Future (1990) - love that goober.
I'll definitely keep him in mind!
Love your stuff Daddy Diego
I'll add an interesting one that I didn't see here, though I might have missed it: The sauropod-shaped spaceship from the 1988 French cartoon Diplodos. In that series, the KT event split Earth into two timelines where whatever global event happens on one leads to the opposite happen on the other, most notably dinosaurs forming a civilization on Earth's counterpart, Diplodorian Rex. The main villain keeps attacking less defended Earth to cause disasters there that result in opposite, but as devastating disasters on his world, enabling him to conquer both planets.
Sauropods my all favorite group of dinosaur. Specifically.. Brachiosarids
100 views in 10 minutes❤ boy we eatting good today
Your vids rule bro
that’s a lot of sauropods I only knew the Jurassic park brachiosaurus, land before time, King Kong and WWTD, Gertie ,flinstones
44:38 My friend just showed me this video just to jumpscare me.
XD
The early concept of the good dinosaur was A society of herbivores and chose five types of dinosaurs: Apatosaurs, Stegosaurs, Triceratops, Ankylosaurs and Parasaurolophuses. Each had a specific task. The "Appies" plowed the land. The "Stegs" were the threshers. The "Trikes" were like bulldozers. The "Anks" were trucks. The "Paras" were the pickers.
That's actually a pretty interesting concept. Definitely would've preferred seeing something like that over what we ended up getting
@@DinoDiego16 I know right?
There are also some more Sauropods that appeared in Dinosaur king, such as Diplodocus (The sauropods are stated to be Seismosaurus and Supersaurus, but Im pretty sure they are supposed to be synonyms of Diplodocus nowadays)
My favorite dinosaur
Monster of the past,devo ancora vederlo.
happy 8 years
What the JW trilogy did with sauropods when almost no other media from the 80s onwards uses sauropods as carnivore fodder isn’t just sad, but also ridiculous. Even JFC treated sauropods FAR more respectfully than that.
I agree. In a franchise where they can do so much with their dinosaurs, they really don't do anything that amazing with them
It's sad because both JP and TLW had sauropods as the focus of their "dinosaur glamor shot" in each film. And then JW comes in and just has a half dozen killed off just to show how "badass" their Not-Rudy was.
You should do a whole video on Dinosaucers it's fucking crazy and I want the world to know.
50:30 To this degree there’s also the Aceles from Starfield(2023) alongside a number of other sauropod inspired alien creatures.
Happy 8th Annivesary, Dino.
In the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [3rd season I think, the one after the 1st movie] there was also Titanus the ambiguous titanosaur carrier zord fro the Thunder Megazord and mega Tigerzord
Titanus was introduced in the first season.
@@moltenamber85 was the thunder carrier a turtle? It has been a long time
Ecco che arriva con tutta la sua potenza,Sludge,il mio dinobot preferito è alleato di Optimus.
Everybody references the brachiosaurus zord from Dino Thunder (?), nobody remembers Titanos from the original MMPR from ‘93.
Never watched a single episode of Power Rangers ever. You're lucky Brachiozord even got mentioned XD
Littlefoot is an apatosaurus
Don't forget Titanus from Mighty Morphin
Anche nel Pianeta dei Dinosauri,molto godibile per chi esisteva nel 1977.
Dinosauri Babes? Mai visto propriamente.
Charles R Knight,ha fatto una bella fantasia.
Meraviglioso nel 1960,il vero stereotipo del Brontosaurus.
Nice hair cut
"Random sudden mystery event"
It's called Homo sapiens. The first evidence of humans on Wrangel is dated right around the same time as the Mammoth's disappearance. The fact that they weren't as diminutive as once purported doesn't change anything.
If you'd like another deep dive, may I recommend Devil Dinosaur by Jack Kirby? Already mentioned here but i cannot recommend it higher for it's whacky Bronze Age Marvel adventure
I will definitely check it out one of these days!
18:16 wow, i wonder if people hated that movie as much as JP3 for that
The Sauros be Podding
It’s funny seein how butchered sauropods became. Originally defending themselves to then becoming indifferent defenseless sacks of meat.
Depends on where you look. Some stuff nowadays definitely portrays them right while others fall flat
There was a sauropod in sonic and the secret of rings
