By gum I'm beginning to think I can come up with an intelligent sequel for any of the 1950s sci-fi movies!

The movie listed below is not a very well regarded . . . but I figured out a way to justify the premise and prove that it was valid!

I hope the members of All Sci-Fi will add their own intelligent ideas! I'd hate to think I was only one who enjoyed this kind of imaginative exercise!

The Deadly Manits ~ Killer of the Dinosaurs!

Let's Create a Sequel!

~ A Question for the Members: The mantis did not grow as large as the one shown in this movie — as far as we know. But if they did, I wondered if the process of fossilization would be as effective in fossilizing the "chitin" of insect exoskeletons as it does the bones of dinosaurs.

~ Here's what I came up with.: I found this online.
_________________________________________________

Chitin: Arthropods have exoskeletons made of polysaccharide and protein. Chitin skeletons do not fossilize well, and are typically preserved as carbon films on impressions.

And so, folks, we can't actually say that giant mantis never existed! Hell's bells, those deadly creatures might have been the actual cause of the dinosaur's extinction! Today's mantis are formidable killers of many creatures which are far larger than they are!

Watch this amazing video and you'll easily believe that the giant mantis like the one in the 1957 movie could have wiped out all the dinosaurs on Earth! It shows a mantis killing birds, mice, lizards, and even snakes!

___ Snakes and Lizards Are Afraid of Mantises!


___________

So, it's easy to imagine a giant mantis like the one on the movie attacking the largest dinosaurs on Earth!

Guys, don't judge this movie based on what we THINK science knows about the past! We've spent the last 70 years finding out all the ways science has been wrong. The video above proves that a giant mantis could attack and kill dinosaurs!

And remember . . . the prehistoric giant mantis would NOT have to prey on full grown dinosaurs! It could have easily feasted on the young ones with no problem at all!
