Dragons look stupid and cartoony with their 4 legs.

Six limbed vertebrates are unrealistic as fuck

Because the animators know how to animate stuff with 4 limbs. It looks strange if you have 6 limbs as there is no counterpart in nature to compare with. Only insects, and you fanatsy autists would be the first to complain if the dragon moves like an ant

because four legs + wings are harder to animate.

back to Sup Forums faggot

bait harder, faggot

>its an upset wanker post
always makes me chuckle.

They say it's for realism but pretty sure it's to animate less stuff, like the three headed dog from the first Clash of the Titans, based Harryhausen did it with 2 heads so it was easier

>oh no, this creature that a 14 year old made up is slightly different from that creature that a 14 year old made up

"wyvern" dragons are better if they are just animals.

If you are going for smart, talking dragons, Id say 4 legs would be better.

So Id say in Hobbit they fucked up, but for HP and Reign of Fire it was a good choice.

While Wyverns look so majestic limping on their wings, right?

There are lots of two-legged depictions of dragons that even predate the word "wyvern". Nothing wrong with that.

Kill your self.

Wikipedia on Wyverns in comparison to dragons, specifically in heraldry

>In the Middle Ages, no clear distinction was made between the two. Since the sixteenth century, in English, Scottish, and Irish heraldry, the key distinction has been that a wyvern has two legs, whereas a dragon has four; however, this distinction is not generally observed in the heraldry of other European countries, where two-legged dragons are entirely acceptable.

The primary visual representation of dragons up to the modern age says that you should stop being a picky bitch.

blizzard doesn't have a problem with 6 limbs, why would they?

probably much harder to animate an actual dragon

Four legged dragons look gay and dumb.
Winged legged dragons look like rad lizard bat demons straight out of hell.

I like this post.

Those were dragons, moron.

dragons don't have little hands on wings

Damn I remember when this was the hypest shit

This one clearly does.

legion is looking pretty good so far

Meant to quote this guy.

I think Eragon had gotten right too.

Agree on this. Poor Smaug.

I still consider those cinematics better than the film.

Perfectly correct, you're just a moron.

Also Vermithrax was rad as fuck.

you know thats right

you should say 'correct' you duck

Never thought i'd see dragon autism on Sup Forums of all places as it's usually a Sup Forums- or /tg/-thing

The lesson to take from this is "take inspiration from what Eragon does"

I'm not falling for that trick pal, im too smart for that, i managed to get past third grade

Bring back silly dragons

Have you seen a bat walk around with its wings?

That shit is scary.

Now apply that to dragons.

Wyverns are dragons, you faggot.
Google medieval images of "Saint George fighting the dragon." I be 3/4 of them are like that.
Also how can you depict a mythological animal improperly?

I can't help but genuinely suspect this is an actual autist's dilemma.

When a dragon shows up and it doesn't fill out the checklist *specifically* regarding what makes a dragon, they are driven into a frothing rage.

There's Dragonheart 4 coming out for the Xbox.

>Also how can you depict a mythological animal improperly?
This is a centaur.

there is no such things as dragons and wyverns

enough with this retard shit

Heh.

>being this autistic to get pissed when people call it a Dragon instead Wyvern

not a dragon senpai.

>They look menacing.

>how can you depict a mythological animal improperly?

Reality is relative, therefore I am a figher jet.

>gets one-shoted and made completely irrelevant to the plot by the third movie

...it's a fucking fire breathing magical creature in a fantasy universe with wizards.....

Movie series has
>talking spiders
>Centaurs
>hippogriffs

but yea dragons are too unreal....

>it's a "DnD invented mythical creatures" thread

what is it about Sup Forums that attracts autistic people

is it just the promise of anonymity and the (mistaken) idea they can hide their autism?

This really bothered me

They didn't stick to the book word for word and it would have been so much better if they did

Dumb motherfuckers. My country has a city literally named "wyvern".

thats a worm with wings.

Wivern comes from the french word for viper. Not my fault we skewed the concept.

What a faggot you would shit yourself to death if you were to face HP4´s dragon go fuck yourself

>dragons actually exist
>they have four legs

WYVERNFAGS BTFO

I personally love these types of threads, anything where nerds feel like nitpicking something that ordinary people would never bother to notice just fascinates me.

I'll discussions with a 1000 autists over Feelfags.

I think it's spelled wyrm

>tfw they'll never do a Dragonheart 4 with an actual budget and Sean Connery's voice acting
Why live

they did three of them?!?

Dragon comes from the Greek word for snake.

Don't bother watching any of the sequels.

Apparently in the hobbit Smaug was going to have 4 legs and his shadow from the first hobbit even depicted this. Id love me some grand 6 limbed dragon..... but no.

At least how to train your dragon gave us a couple of neat designs, toothless and red death.

>School children fighting against dragons and killer mermaids for sport
>Final challenge is a maze
Goblet of Fire was fucking retarded
