Just don't. NOTHING in Marvel is or was ever scientifically accurate or intended as such. I don't give coprolite that the raptors in Marvel's Shanna-the-She-Devil have no feathers, because it isn't hard science fiction.

Nonetheless, I can see your point. If I'm not mistaken, this is your reasoning:

- the JP-raptors are a very iconic species in the Jurassic franchise

- the JP-raptors have a very famous look that would have been lost when given feathers

- therefore, we should stick with the JP-design

It seems that Colin Trevorrow agrees with you.

However, I do not. To me it is just another attempt to use "tradition" to stick with outdated incorrect stereotypes. Jurassic World was the start of a new trilogy. New park. New superpredator. New main characters. New direction. Why not new raptors?

I think we can only agree to disagree one this.
