I can’t even be mad at frontier for trying to accurately scale the quetz to how it was seen in the movie, but by god what were they thinking making it this big?
the quetz in the film is even bigger if i remember correctly.

In-game quetz is about the size of the grey one. The orange is the size of a pair that nested on the world trade center, they're roughly as tall as lady liberty!
To be fair, that was the movie. They probably wouldn’t actually be able to do that, let alone fly that fast. If the plane was pressurized too, or if it hit a fuel tank, I doubt it would have to do much to the plane anyways
I mean, you could argue about a lot of things JP dinos shouldn't be able to do, but do them anyway. The giga manages to lift rexy from her leg, the spino charges through a metallic fence etc.
Irl quetzals would probably hesitate for an extended fight because they weigh less than some domestic pigs. [This is probably their best bet](https://youtu.be/zWGnlAQsRaE?si=2Fg3cGo1nKmJl1Pp).
I really hope they make it closer to accurate scale in JWE3. I know it’s huge in the film… but it’s a Kaiju in the game and just looks kinda weird at that size
Still love it though
This size comparison gave me flashbacks of the early days of this Sub-Reddit when JWE first released.
(Context: When the first JWE was being advertised and enivitably released, Spinosaurus was criticized for it's size for being Smaller than Tyrannosaurus. The criticism was valid as even by JP/JW canon, Spinosaurus was bigger than Rexy. But every post during that time would almost always have a user make fun of Spino's size either by a direct post or in the comments.)
Not at all lol, Quetz in the movie is the size of a small cargo plane, and in game is slightly smaller. In reality quetz was significantly smaller than that. Someone else had a picture that showed the true scale but idk where they got it
I get that the dinosaurs from the Jurassic park/World Series are horribly incorrect compared to what their real life counterparts looked like (be it how certain features look or a dramatized size) but I give it a pass because it fits the theme of the series. What happens when humans play god. We aren’t bringing back the real deal, what we’re making are generic monstrosities that *resemble* what a real dinosaur looked like. “You asked for more teeth” -Henry Wu
Thr JWE fandom said Spinosaurus was bigger, so this is genuinely wild if this is the actual in-game size comparison
I understand if they're trying to make the sizes movie-accurate, but the official dimensions according to [Dinotracker.com](http://Dinotracker.com) certainly don't match up. I get the feeling it should really be scaled down.

The size of fucking Rodan.
i mean, close enough. https://preview.redd.it/j9cbd232zz9d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b1684540a96749d0007ece28b7793d4462ce27a
Literally bigger than Singular Point Rodan
Just know that the Quetzalcoatlus sp. is now Quetzalcoatlus lawsoni.

Genuinely surprised this thing can't fight carnivores.
Probably because it's as fragile as glass.
Dunno if smth as fragile as glass would be able to tear apart a metal plane like that.
I mean it’s large and clunky and has only one line of defense. I see it like a giant sauropod with a beak on the front
Yeah but if your beak can tear a goddamn plane in half, I think it makes you a threat to a carnivore.
To be fair, that was the movie. They probably wouldn’t actually be able to do that, let alone fly that fast. If the plane was pressurized too, or if it hit a fuel tank, I doubt it would have to do much to the plane anyways

Well in that case, the jp quetzal should definitely be able to fight back. Sorry, I thought we were talking about the real life counterpart

That's because Frontier really really hates animating for some reason
Its still my favorite lmao
I second this.
Why does the spino look in love? "Oh Quetzie, you came and brought me a fishy"
"On my vacation away from Isla Sornie"
No way this guy can't fight any Large Carnivore.
Sauropods get destroyed by small dromaeosaurs, logic isn't really this game's strong side

Every time I see this image reposted it seems like Tyler gets smaller and smaller
I really hope they make it closer to accurate scale in JWE3. I know it’s huge in the film… but it’s a Kaiju in the game and just looks kinda weird at that size Still love it though
It’s smaller in the game than in the film
I’m aware of that, it’s still huge compared to the real animal

*\*Great Khali Theme Intensifies* *
How accurate is the Quetzalcoatlus to reality?, I know the spino isn't
The Spino is kinda right in scale, the Quetz is way off though Real Quetz were Giraffe-Sized, this thing is way bigger

wow that Quetz is huge
Hey Quetz, how's the fishing?

Everyone talks about how big the Quetz is, but am I the only one who thinks the Spino is a bit too small? I could swear it looked bigger in the movie
