>>44811290Shitposting aside, a lot of recent research this decade reveals sabertooth cats like Xenosmilus and even big Smilodon itself have a lot of the traits Incineroar is trashed for in terms of being “humanoid”:
>plantigrade legs and feet>bulky-ass torso and upper arms>longer arms vs shorter hind legs>giant front paws vs smaller feet>big/long fingers and thumb for grappling>built terribly for being speedy but god help you if it wrestles you>speculated to even able to stand up on two legs like a bear doesWhat does one do when it turns out Incineroar may have ended up more, even rather much more, realistic than intended? Like the whole Jurassic Park/Utahraptor situation where the fiction got something right before discovery.
