Will we ever see Ceratopsids duke it out with abelisaurs or megaraptorans?

OP has been indef'd

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I am so desperate for Labocania to be an abelisaur or a megaraptoran so that we can finally have an abelisaur or megaraptoran that coexisted with ceratopsids and engage in epic fights for survival, I just need my megaraptoran vs ceratopsid fight to be a reality so badly.

If we do ever manage to resurrect dinosaurs, I'd guess that the process will probably be so difficult and expensive that it would be unlikely that they would be placed in interspecies kumite - even not withstanding animal cruelty laws. Not when they can be stuck in a zoo somewhere and an entrance fee charged for visitors to see the animal over its lifetime. --Iloveparrots (talk) 06:32, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Such speculative "desperate" discussions have no place on conversations to build a high quality encyclopedia. CuddleKing1993, are you here to build an encyclopedia, or to spout garbage? If the second, then please go blog elsewhere. Cullen328 (talk) 06:47, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We have learned from the film series that they are bound to escape from their enclosures. Will they turn on each other, though, or form an alliance against their captors? --Lambiam 07:01, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Works of fiction cannot bring anything of value to encyclopedic coverage of the actual species, except possibly for an "in popular culture" section, which must be rigorously referenced. In my opinion, every such entry everywhere should be deleted on sight, unless correctly referenced. Cullen328 (talk) 07:13, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Who knows what will happen in the far future but I'm pretty certain we'll be long dead before anything like that happens. I think you're better off trying virtual reality for your wish fulfillment. NadVolum (talk) 12:45, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CuddleKing1993: I agree, such a fight would be epic. I would encourage you to continue researching and get back to us with your findings, update the respective articles, etc. Dinglepincter (talk) 23:32, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
