About
#buildabetterfaketheropod is a hashtag project that encourages users and Paleo artists to create a fictional hybrid dinosaur that is more scientifically accurate and appealing than the Indominus Rex from the 2015 movie Jurassic World.
Origin
On January 15th, 2015, Scoopla Movies reported on leaked images of Indominus Rex, a hybrid dinosaur that acts as the main antagonist in Jurassic World[1].
In late January, 2015, the Official Jurassic World website released a bio of the dinosaur, complete with a silhouette of the creature[2]. The creature’s design received criticism for being too generic despite being promoted as a hybrid dinosaur.
On February 2nd, 2015, Paleo Artist Brian Engh launched the hashtag #buildabetterfaketheropod via his twitter account which is followed by his art submission to the project.
