I'd say they're almost on par. I would think just as many people know about Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, raptors, Parasaurolophus, Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Spinosaurus as they do with Godzilla, some of which owe thanks to Jurassic Park for making them well known, two of which (Apatosaurus and Ankylosaurus) were already well known before they debuted in the franchise. Ask anyone what dinosaurs they know and those will be guaranteed answers, with maybe an exception to Parasaurolophus.Rhedosaurus wrote:Besides, and this is the sad truth, with the exception of Rex and the T. rex as species, (Rexy would die of old age in my world) all the dinosaurs are nowhere near as famous or iconic as Godzilla.
Wait... Where did this even stem from? Who's having a popularity contest between dinosaurs and Godzilla? People see dinosaurs and know it's a dinosaur like they see any giant lizard and think it's Godzilla.
