If youre here for the score of this review I scammed it. And there will be spoilers. I think this show is suffering from Alzheimers syndrome. Especially Zoe since she seems to forget about the fact that she has a Big Foot Assault card Seismosaurus and Super Impact card Supersaurus even though she still uses Metal Wing Pteranodons and the old lady still has her Futaba Super Cannon card Futabasaurus Theyre two OP moves yet she never uses them. They could have come in handy for capturing at least the first cosmo stone. On the other part Terry Spiny and Tank suck. They were terribly weak especially in the final battle against the pirates. The only time where one of them shine was the battle between Spiny and Jobaria. Would have been great if the Alpha Gang became stronger and smarter instead of pretending to be Team Rocket. Being the second season it must have introduce something new for the battles. However it was a lame one. While in Bakugan: New Vestroia it introduces traps mechanical lifeless bakugans combiners including the maxus and battle gears. This series introduces armor: Element Boosters and Spectral Armor. Thats it. They upgrade the dinosaurs defense and attack and some can have their own move card. Honestly this concept is handle far better in Battle of Giants Dinosaurs DS. There are only 10 armors with their own move card 6 of them have the same basic attack. Wheres the creativity? Instead of those what about introducing other prehistoric creatures? Sure they arent dinosaurs... nor the swimming and flying reptiles that were included in Season 1. There could have been awesome battles like: Spinosaurus vs Deinosuchus Futabasaurus vs Mosasaurus or Kronosaurus Pteranodons vs Quetzalcoatlus Carnotaurus vs Dimetrodon or Edaphosaurus Tyrannosaurus vs Wolly Mammoth Saichania vs Megalania or Glyptodon Parasaurolophus vs Megatherium Everyone vs Megalodon Etctera etctera etctera. About the story it has nothing to do with dinosaurs. You can just replace them with monsters or modern animals and nothing will change. Theyre only relevant in the first episode when the team time travel in a place where Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs happen to coexist and featuring a cosmically mysticallooking bird pterosaur? Okay. As for the historical accuracies of the setting the characters traveled to I dont know. I cant judge them so Ill leave it to someone else. Next up is the setting...its not good. In the first season the majority of the episodes where spent on different places although it suffers from the laziness of everyone speaking the same language. I guess many people would let it pass because it is a kid show but I still find it annoying. In this season it spends 56 episodes on each place and there are 30 episodes in total. Despite taking place in the past everyone speaks the same language as the main protagonists? Every single one of them? And they were traveling in time yet their actions didnt land an impact on history? The dinosaurs didnt leave a record? The present wasnt affected at all? Cmon the main characters are wearing modern clothes yet nobody calls them out for it? Not even the androids bother to correct them? Now time for the villains. The pirates dumb Chunk bratty Pepe bitchy Karen and their boss simply want the cosmos stones to control the universe for...whatever reason. And somehow they have dinosaurs? There are dinosaurs in the planet where they come from? And Im not referring to the ones they stold. A possible answer is that Seth was responsible for their creation. Writing about Seth I find him...okay. Like in the previous season he is taking advantage of the pirates in secret to complete his own goals. Since the heroes are in a tuff situation he easily betrayed them again. He managed to create the OP cryolophosaurus that defeated the pirates favorite pets. Lastly the best part of this season was definitely the cryolophosaurus. Now this is a special dinosaur. Its rapid its deadly and its Antarctic. Too bad it was force to be beaten by Maxs Chomp. Anyway I like the aquatic battle only happened once and the aerial battle. Its less annoying of how the main characters know the names of every single dinosaur which I can let it slide. Minor complaints: For some strange reason this season doesnt introduce the rest of the dinosaurs from Dinosaur King DS and the arcade games. Instead of featuring an irritator a tarbosaurus and neovenator they just brought back the baryonyx carcharodontosaurus and megaraptor. 3/4 of the dinosaurs of the pirates are another stegosaurus triceratops and tyrannosaurus not even the eoraptor was feature Dinosaur Kings own ditto. At least it introduced another secret dinosaur called the apataosaurs/brontosaurus. Meanwhile the Triassic dinosaurs are pretty much forgotten about since only one Triassic dinosaur made an appearance in the entire show the gojirasaurus. Thats about it. There are other two missing from the show: the liliensternus from the Japanese Arcade 2007 4th Edition+ Gekizan 1st Edition and Kakushin 3rd Editions Green Dinosaurs Egg card the English Arcade Series 2 4th Edition Taiwanese Arcade New 4th Edition and New 5th Edition and the TCG as Liliensternus and Racing liliensternus the eoraptor the Japanese Arcade Kakushin 1st Edition and Kakushin 2nd Edition and the Dinosaur King DS. Kind of sad many more werent included in the franchise because theyre the first dinosaurs to ever exist TriassicAlsoExists The art style and the animation is the same as the first. The 3D and 2D arent incorporated well as expected but Im not mad about it because of nostalgia. I know there are animation errors. However I cant stand the transformation scenes. Its heavily abuse for the introduction of the battles. Mentioning about battles does anybody know if health bars levels and stats are a thing in this show? In conclusion I still like the franchise it was part of my childhood alongside with dinosaurs. I used to have a lot of dinosaur toys until my mom sold them by lying to me. I used to read books about dinosaurs until my mom donated many of them to the schools library sold them and trashed them while the rest were forgotten by my father. I used to eat dinosaur nuggets until I moved to Mxico. I used to play Battle of Giant Dinosaurs DS and Dinosaur King DS until I lost the Dinosaur King DS card still have the other but my Nintendo DSI XL isnt working well. I used to watch the Dinosaur King show on YouTube. The franchise is dead but Im glad because there would have been a horrible reboot.
