(Here's what I mean by that: ruclips.net/video/KOHMgFxju1g/видео.html )
I'd say because they're as close as people can get to real life mythical creatures, monsters or dragons. They actually existed.
The fact that I will never be able to jerk off while being digested by a fuckin awesome dinosaur I find painfully regrettable
@@buffoonustroglodytus4688 bro....
I also think paleontology is really appealing to kids, as far as your point about "dinosaurs are a child's introduction to science." When you're a kid, the world is scary in part because it's huge and filled with stuff more powerful than you are. "Big reptilian monsters" relate to that aspect of the world - they're not as remote as chemistry, physics or geology - but suddenly being knowledgeable about something cool, and in the larger sense that even something that big can be something that makes sense, is hugely empowering to a child.
lets be honest. the majority of people still think dinosaurs are just "little kids stuff" i even remember back when i was in kindergarden i heard one of my classmates saying that dinosaurs are for babies. i would love a video discussing why people think this and i think your the best person to make that video hoops
ikr? I find this whole "for kids" thing to be some flat-earther level of stupidity.
People how say so got simply Not the Balls to say that the entire them is to much. For example the Point, that the Dinosaurs are the reason for the existens of Fruits and flowers. I for myself love it to build theories about them, Like, that even a real Velociraptor ( the turky siced) can kill a man, because with the first strike the man would lose his eyes.
I have nothing but contempt for those people. Kids like to play "cowboys and indians", right? That doesn't mean that westerns are for kids, or that an interest in American frontier history is "little kids stuff".
Yeah a humongous animal with three spears on it's face, a frickin shield in it's head with spikes all over it, a probably agressive behaviour and possibly omnivorous (it can eat you) habits does sound like kids stuff ain't that right? (That's triceratops btw)
Because kids usually like cool and monstrous things, they think people only like Dinosaurs only because they're vicious ane violent (which are basically awesomebros who are fucking morons tbh) without realizing the fascination in the subject matter
Dinosaurs are cool
Nuff said
They're like dragons. Dragon that existed. That makes them more exciting ;)
Yeah it's like imagining what if a dragon really existed and you come across a T rex skeleton
Actually there is theory that dragons were the early depictions of dinosaurs.
@@davidkopecky6687 info from tik tok im guessing
@@davidkopecky6687 makes no sense considering the legends of dragons seems to come before the first discovery dinosaur
When I was 4 I had a speech class, but then when the teacher asked me what do you want to be when you grow up, I said paleontologist flawlessly. She told my mom I don’t need to go to speech class any more
Lol
Look up how some duck species reproduce and you'll realize that they are the scariest monsters of them all.
LOL I know what you mean.
Fuck them
Asher yes. Exactly.
@@asher8754 Pun?
@@asher8754 Literally
1. They're big.
2. We can't have them.
We can have them. Birds are dinosaurs.
@@AnhHoang-cx8es True. But They're referring to the ones that're considered extinct. Especially the ones that're HUGE.
"They're big"
Literally every small Dinosaurs, including the Compsognathus: Are we a joke to you?
I can't find two better explanations
I loved dinosaurs sinice I was 13 years old. Now I'm 45 years old and I still love them. My favorite dinosaur is T-Rex.
I Loved Dinosaurs Ever since I was a Kid and I’ll Forever Love them 🙂
G Harrison same
me too
Dinosaurs are cool as heck.
That's why!
I loved dinosaurs as a kid, I still love them even now.
I was never interested fictional stuff, always loved my mom reading me non fiction before sleeping.
Idk man Dinosaurs are just cool
Saddest animal story ever. I wish their still existed. My number one dream
Īgņa Now Birds:Are we jokes to you?
150 billion dinosaurs are still here, over twice as many as mammals. Birds are as much a real dinosaur as Bats are real mammals, just because most fly has nothing to do with that fact.
End Of.
I always to see extinct animal.
👏👏👏 Well said my man! I just wish that other prehistoric animals got some recognition.
Max Carson Yea that's true.Thers so many other prehistoric animals that not a lot of people know about.Thers even so dinosaurs that are strange that almost no one outside the scientific community has heard about them.
I honestly never understood why people are affraid of lizard? They are gorgeous.
Well, lizards can grow big, dangerous, and have lots of teeths. But yeah, they're still gorgeous.
Did you even fight a lizard?
My thing about it is, and this is partially covered by some points in this video, dinos are as much fantasy as they are science. We have no way of knowing how they looked or behaved, so people love making interpretations of monsters which may have existed. You covered this obviously.
Another thing that makes dinos and their predecessors more popular to the mainstream than the mammals after them (such as sabre cats and mammoths) is they're unlike any animal today. The fact that such bizzare and terrifying animals lived on earth till 65 million years ago will, as mentioned, fascinate people, much more than say mammoths or sabre cats, which are similar to modern mammals.
Kinda saddens me that other ancient creatures don't get the same attention as dinosaurs, such as mammal reptiles, cause hit blockbusters haven't been made about them. I love stem mammals myself. Especially gorgonopsids... the idea mammals evolved from reptiles is endlessly fascinating to me.
Yeah man, stem mammals are the best paleozoic animals ever. Inostrancevia is just so majestic!
King Rexy I just love going over the evolution of mammal reptiles and theories of how mammalian traits (fur, bodyplan) evolved. The one for how fur evolved from whiskers which helped burrowing theraspids navigate is really compelling.
Their diversity and lifestyle had always interested me. Same goes to other extinct lifeforms. :)
That prehistoric park music had me tear up
Same man 😢
Especially when it gets to the Jurassic Park theme
Michael Crichton asked himself the same thing. There is something about these animals that just grabs our imagination. It’s like magic.
Simple... they are awesome mysterious creatures that deserve love and respect
True
It is because dinosaurs are viewed as monsters and monsters that actually existed.
Because they're "monsters that actually existed"
Happy 25th anniversary, Jurassic Park :) Thank you for everything.
Asking why dinosaurs are so popular to me is like asking why does a fish swim? I love dinosaurs and next year I start college to become a paleontologist, so I can learn more about these ancient animals.
Lucky. That’s my dream job. Where are you going anyway?
I was always fascinated by dinosaurs, mainly because they where nothing like todays animal's which before I wasn't into animals that much as a toddler, but later I tend to love most kinds of animals, especially bears, but dinosaurs will always be the ones I will always love, they always put a smile on my face whenever I see them, like I look at them as Titans, like giant, powerful beings that you never want to duck with, they are the ultimate life forms that planet Earth has ever created, like having one in front of you would like make you be very intimidated by it, like having it stare down to you as you look up to the creature, they will always be my favorite thing in the world, even in both scaly or feathery, and I will never get tired of them. You deserve a sub.
> Watched the "Walking with" series as a 6 year old;
> Now I am an evolutionary biologist...
Congratulations!!
👍👍👍
Me too.
I picked paleontology at university
Congrats man
my main reasons :
1 - Jurassic Park and The Land Before Time
2 - They are Big and Dangerous (yes, even herbivores can be dangerous, because of their size, but also because of defence mechanisms)
3 - Extinct Animals from long long time ago
there are so many things to talk about but that was in short, why dinosaurus are my favorite animals.
as for three, that they are Extinct from long ago, thats maybe also the reason i love Mammoths or Dodo's. but dinosaurs are better because they were extinct before humans begin they're lifes and its all mysterious.
It's because they're big, different, and gone.
In *my* world, the designs in BBC's Walking with series are what they actually look like. Yes I’m aware of the bird like dinosaurs and stuff.
And also why not the Beasts like “Smilodon” or Monsters like “Gorgonopsid”
@@thatguyisthisguy They're not dinosaurs. They're limited by time & size.
FANTASTIC video!
Agreed. Dinosaurs are the greatest wonder of the world!
The thing you mentioned about surface interests you had as a child growing into adult obsessions and careers is something I can super recognize. It wasn't dinosaurs for me, it was machines and that has grown into not just learning detailed information about specific machines but also engineering principles and history. At first I thought they were cool because they were huge moving things that awed me as a child and now I appreciate the design, work and material science that went into it as well as logistics, manufacturing etc. It has grown so much and into so many things that in a way it still feels like when I was a child being awed by the scale but now it's just the enormous amount of information that's out there and how I can keep learning. And I mean now my goal in life is to become an engineer so I can myself work on these machines, create new ones and get to know them in detail.
Circle of life.. I can relate.
My love of dinosaurs lead me to know the majority of the things learned in 6th grade science. I knew a the classification system at age 7, I'm weird.
Sounds normal to me. I was the same.
I always looked at dinosaurs as these giant creatures of the past that died out millions of years ago. My general interests in biology and history drew me closer to paleontology. Although like most people, I started liking dinosaurs when I was very young and unlike most people, I couldn't quite move on to other interests like how I did with teletubbies. In 2016 I went on holidays to Utah and ended up being taken backstage in the Utah University because one of the employees heard me lecturing my father about Cleveland Lloyd. They were only excavating a parasaurolophus skull from plastered soil and trying to identify a few turtle fossils but it was cool nonetheless. (in 2016, I was eleven years old)
This is a really deep video
Yay! More hoopsandinoman!
Dinosaurs are Based and attractive,thats why their so awesome and popular
This video sums up the reason why I love Dinosaurs
5:48 nice smaug reference, smaug actually has some of the same appeal as jurassic park’s t rex with his astounding strength and ability to smash through just about anything
i think instead of a movie the next "jurassic park" may instead be a show
excellent video needs more views
I think the part of thinking it's cool and exotic to be reminded that things greater than yourself is a rather privileged upper middle class dude thing to say, for someone who's a minority, and/or female, poor, disabled or similar, they will already have spent most of their upbringing knowing they aren't the "default" our culture revolves around and having to take the views and behavior of the majority into account. As someone with Aspergers syndrome, the appeal of such creatures for me wasn't some desire to be humbled, because feeling small and useless was an everyday experience going to school with a condition that made following social codes even harder than for regular school kids, the appeal was in the idea of a simpler world full of creatures beyond all the petty concerns and problems in everyday social life and knowing dinosaurs don't care, and that's also why I think dinosaurs appeal to many kids on the spectrum.
I love reptiles
They are such interesting creatures
Every monster-like things are popular.
Now *this* is the answer!
You are bringing my childhood back. Thank you.
A very passionate video. I have not seen something like this in a while. Last time I did, it was when Rebeltaxi pointed out how adults can enjoy cartoons
Aku Fan Extra thicc
OML YouVe grOwn sinCe the Dino storyyyy
For me, it was always the fascination of knowing that there was a dominant species over the planet before us. It's just so amazing to know that creatures like dinosaurs did exist at one point. Great video man, really thought provoking.
I love Dinosaurs.
Yeah me too
Same here!
0:12
*Dinosaur World*
You just missed us!
_Go back 65 million years._
I gotta show this to someone next time they ask my why I like dinosaurs so much. It explains exactly why I like them near perfectly
I'm glad to be apart of this community!
*reads title*
What kind of stupid question is that?!
Very interesting video! I really like the last points you made.
Your so good at explaining things, I think one day you could be a narrator for a documentary or sum thing like that :)
Alright, alright… you might not see my comment, but I thought I should comment anyway. I just found you again after ten years. I watched your "A dinosaur story" in 2008 when I was a kid… and I'm very pleased that you are interested in archaeology. I thought your channel would have been abandoned or long-dead, but no… here you are, a grown man, then years later. Pretty strange and pretty cool. Keep on!
ikr He was the 1st youtuber I ever watched
back in 2017 I checked his channel since 2008 was long (Started watching his dinosaur story in 2012) and WOW all those years and he is now still a big YT with a good amount of subs
Archaeology is egyptians and all that. The study of prehistoric animals is paleontology.
The reign and fall of the dinosaurs is kinda reminiscent of an ancient empire, like the Egyptians or the Romans. They were a mighty dynasty that seemed to have ruled forever and seemed completely indestructible... and then it all ended. It just sounds like a tragedy and at the same time it reminds us that nothing lasts forever, which in many ways reminds us of our own mortality. We are fascinated by stories of ficticious empires like Atlantis. Yet the fact that dinosaurs were actually real seems to bridge the gap between reality and legends.
This guys should make more content
Awesome video! Plz do a review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom when you see it! I would love that!!
First: Great Video! You’ve made very good reason why people love dinosaurs.
Second: That moment when you watched so many of HoopsAndDinoMan’s videos and documentarys and movies about prehistoric life, that you recognize nearly all of the clips used in the video! XD
I guess you could compare our fascination with dinosaurs to our fascination with ancient civilizations.
The reign of the dinosaurs was grand and long... and then it suddenly ended... kinda like how all the great empires have fallen: The Romans, The Aztecs, The Egyptians...
There's a reason why we like to turn ancient civilizations into legends. We picture these ancient people as extraordinarily wise, with knowledge that has long since been lost to time. It's kinda like how dinosaurs are depicted as extraordinarily ferocious. If we actually had the ability to travel back in time and meet the ancient Egyptians, we'd probably find that most people in that era were just ordinary individuals, not too different from us. It works the same way with dinosaurs. They weren't mythical monsters. They were just ordinary animals that happened to live in the ideal circumstances to grow large.
But to me that's part of the appeal. To discover how these animals actually lived, ate, slept and mated is as fascinating as to learn about the advanced bathroom fascilities in Pompeii. It gives us a small glimpse into the lives of animals that have long since passed.
Well said
Could you review We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story? It was one of the under appreciated gems of animation and it was released during the Disney Renaissance in 1993. Had it been released earlier it would’ve been better received.
5:32 more like 200,000-300,000 years but your point stands.
The first dinosaurs appeared about 240 million years ago and the last dinosaur died about 65 million years ago. 240 minus 65 equals 175. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for 175 million years.
@@LeoTheYuty he's talking about humanity
Because they're awesome
Hopefully there will be a film about feathered dinosaurs, I would title it "Ground Hawks" personally.
My childhood TV series is Dinosaurtrain.
If you ever do reviews again, review "David Attenborough's Natural History Museum Alive"
Well I’m not scared of snakes, but I am scared of getting bitten by one
PrehistoricFanBoy 101 haha same
It still annoys me that some people think dinosaurs aren’t real and that Godzilla was a dinosaur
I thought people said dinosaurs were on Noah's ark?
Which, btw, is factually incorrect as the story never brings up dinosaurs at all.
Tbf, Godzilla is a dinosaur
@@dtxspeaks268the only godzillas that are dinosaurs are heisei and showa godzilla (all the other incarnations are more like dragons)
@@dtxspeaks268 Godzilla is considered a monster/ dragon which lizards, dinosaurs are mammals
@@AussieBall_Animations dinosaurs aren't mammals
What if early civilizations discovered dinosaurs, and they are inspiration for dragons?
That probably did happen
Didn't that actually happen with some asian dinosaur species
Definitely did not happen. Though early civilisations discovering fossils and thinking they may be remnants of dragons is a possible explanation
The chineses making this , the first dinosaurs who they discovered for they where dragons because his culture
*HECC YAH ANOTHER VIDEO*
I’m glad you still make videos!
Because they're freakin dinosaurs! The fact that man-eating dragon-looking birds roamed this planet is insane. I love em.
Your childhood was just like mine
I think the ending of Walking with Monsters has the best explanation.
"and be known as the most ferocious monsters of them all."
Great videos, really like your content. Your work bring me back so much childhood memories.
12:32 A television example might be Prehistoric Planet (2022). It features everything you mentioned you love about new dinosaur artwork in your new dinosaur artwork video.
i think its because of the mystery of them keep in mind that we have almost nothing like dinosaurs on earth ,with the exception of birds the non avian dinosaurs went extinct and cause of their size that can make an elephant look like a mouse the sauropods would be an amazing sight to see , the spinosaurus with the sail and fish eating semi aquatic creature
Beautiful explanation! This helps me and your information works! Thank you!
Good job on making this.I've always wondered this
What a perfect way to put it. Awesome video, man!
Ya did a good job on this video man, you did a good job
Nowadays we are using CGI to recreate actors originally played by long dead actors. *cough* *cough* rogue one *cough* *cough*. I find it disappointing that we can recreate these actors faces but can't get a dinosaur that looks alive. Like a living, breathing thing. Nowhere do you see dinosaurs twitching or shaking away fly's or driving eachother away rather than killing eachother. Okay, maybe the last one is planet dinosaur but play a gif in your head of a lion running but slowly to save energy. Then play a gif of a charcharodontosaurus driving away it's rival. Now play a gif of a wildebeest charging at a lion and stopping abruptly as the lion retreats. I just feels like animals have a feeling of unpredictability that no animator can recreate.
This was such a great video!
As much as I love dinosaurs, the rest of prehistory needs some more love too.
How come ice age mammals aren’t that popular? Meh at least we don’t have the pressure of being so famous
Probably because of them resembles that much of modern day mammals, Dinosaurs just really different
@@Xtifjwhfodak but why animals in the paleozoic are not popular
They are so outlandish
I really enjoyed this video! Keep it up!
And I was thinking "why is he been so late?" well it worth every Gog dame second man. I totally agree with your points.
As Mr. Spielberg put it,
"It's like Mythology, but it was Real! It's not science fiction, it's science Fact!"
Great video!
I've still have this question that kept on bothering me:How do we really know what Dinosaurs would've look like through their skeletons? And What if we've misplaced the bones of them that belong to other species that we didn't really know?
Maybe because behind the skulls, scientists find their legs and rib cages.
@@bigmuscleguy9694 that's one good answer.
Looking at similar living animals + fossil evidence such as scale and feather impressions, muscle attachment points, and footprints, as well as inferring what less complete specimens might have looked like based on more complete specimens of related species. Getting parts mixed up or arranged incorrectly has happened numerous times, such as Iguanadon and the whole brachiosaurus/apatasaurus/brontosaurus thing.
That's the thing, we did. It happened with sigilmassosaurus and possibly dakotaraptor
Great job on this Awesome and heart-warming video! If you can, please do a video on why pop culture is slow to catch on to feathered dinosaurs; that would be an interesting topic to discuss.
Cool video, plz review either Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom or The Land Before Time
Fascinating! Absolutely fascinating! :)
Because they really are cool
YES IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR ANOTHER VIDEO!!! YES! YES!! YES!!!😃
Awesome video
After Megalosaurus was discovered, the dinosaurs were first known
Happy Jurassic June
Excellent video! Couldn't have said it better myself!
As much as our perception of dinosaurs has changed greatly over the years, it probably hasn't changed fast enough on a pop-cultural level in relation to what science now describes them as. When the Jurassic Park/World series draws to a close, it would be interesting to see if the public responds well to such a realistic yet engaging depiction of dinosaurs.
Everyone here is asking you to do a review of Jurassic World 2 or something, but damn, I really enjoyed this! I wouldn't mind if you kept making these kinds of videos. Keep it up!
