Annoying Trope: How dare a carnivorous creature eat other animals!

It’s not a matter of carnivores eating to excess, or being from the POV of the prey and thus would be understandable, characters scorn the mere idea of carnivory and try to stop animals being themselves.

T. Rex Back to the Cretaceous - At one point an ornithomimus tries to eat a T. rex’s eggs and takes one on the run fleeing the parent. The protag acts as if its an evil thief.

There’d some philosopher who wanted let all predatory animals due because they’re cruel and cause suffering. Tetrapod Zoology wrote about them and criticised them in the post “predatory animals are bad and should be allowed to go extinct”. Suffice to say, the notion of destroying ecosystems just because they upset some of us is very wrong, both scientifically and ethically. (placeholder image)

Paw Patrol - In the ep “Pups Save the Dino Chicken”, a Spinosaurus hunts some parasaurolophus… and apparently its wrong of her to do so because Rex demands she stop it. Why? …. They never indicate why. I mean, its not like its because they can't show gore in a preschool show let alone death... okay maybe that's why, but still.

Dinosaur Island (Wolf Tracer) One heroine tries to kill raptors for hunting a triceratops. To quote Rickraptor105 in his review “We can't let nature take its course, so better kill the carnivores that just need to survive.”

Yes killing is painful. But a lion hunting a buffalo is hardly the same as what we do, and any discomfort is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

How would you alter Surviving Earth?

Here's the start of my rewrite

  • Narrated by Terry Crews instead of Josh Goodman.
  • It’s explicitly mentioned where the episode takes place.
  • Captions appear every time a new species appears.
  • Each eps would debut on the the treaning service first and are 60 minutes.

When the Earth Burned

  • Example of #2 is “Conifers cover what will one day become Russia.”
  • Captions appear every time a new species appears.
    • The gorgonopsids will identified as Inostrancevia.
  • The Gorgonopsids have names.
    • The dominant male is named Euryale.
    • The female, Euryale’s mate, is named Medusa.
    • The baby is named Chrysaor, their sibling is named Pegasus.
  • There’s no mention of alpha males, just dominant males.
  • Instead of an intruder, the antagonist is another male in the pack, Stheno.
  • The scutosaur stampede is retained.
  • The gorgonopsid family all die onscreen. A sad ending, but at least they get to die together.
  • Additional species are:
    • Archosaurus, to represent reptiles’ rise. Appears as a predator of the Elph.
    • Nothogomphodon appears in the Triassic epilogue, showing where the synapsids are.

When the Oceans Shrank

  • The Sacabambaspis is named Puff.
  • Eurypterids in the epilogue are represented by Jaekelopterus, and mentioned as only getting bigger.

When the Rainforests Collapsed

  • The Diplocaulus is named Boomer.
  • The big amphibian:
    • Is not Eryops.
    • attacks Boomer.
  • All the carboniferous species are shown to escape the fire and survive into the Permian.
  • The modern segment notes modern Rainforest species are not so lucky.

More to come.

Todat I learnt the Houston Zoo in Texas had the Koolookamba in their African exhibit

Basically in the early years of their African Forest exhibit, the exhibit had a fictional storyline of some explorer/hunter who crashed in central Africa and after going from a hunter to a nature lover, began looking for the Koolakamba, that alleged chimp/gorilla hybrid known from specimens and a captive live one.

They put these hidden mickey style easter eggs og its face everywhere in the exhibit.

(TROPE I DESPISE) Won't somebody feel sorry for those poor southerners?

Gone with the Wind

Gods and Generals is infamous for its pro CSA leanings.

The Conspirator says nothing of Suratt being pro or anti slavery ans thinks her peresucution is just like Guatanamo Bay.

The General, and by extension Keaton treats Confederates as the underdog.

Anything with sympathic depictions of the confederate army or aristocracy, basically Lost Cause of the South bullshit.

Do really expect me to sympathise with the slaveowners who dehumanised an entire race? Do you expect me to feel sorry for anyone who wants to suck up to them?

(Irritating trope) ...And you didn't think to elaborate why they need to do this?

A strict authority figure never bother to tell the people they;'re hard on why, even though its perfectly understandable why, dismissing them with "its for your own good" or "You can't be trusted with this knowledge." So when shit hits the fan, they don't believe them and are unprepared then if they were just honest from the start, and you're just thinking "What a good leader/sarcasm".

Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus: Really Annika's parents? You never even once told your daughter of the evil wizard that did something terrible to her sister? That would have kept her from sneaking out, but instead you just had to be a bunch of hardasses that got you turned to ston.

This post basially says you should never question social norms no matter how oppresve they are... ignoing the ficticous scenario has the husband never actually tell the wife about the danger and comes off as oppresive.
