    Ah yes, the Carboniferous. My absolute favorite geologic period. Why?
    We’ve got:
    -Cat-sized scorpions
    -Person-sized millipedes
    -Hawk-sized dragonflies
    -Seal-sized “sea cockroaches”
    -Weird strange huge amphibians that probably aren’t safe to touch
    -“Sharks” that can’t decide whether teeth should be in their mouths or on their dorsal fins
    -Oh, and everything looks like Florida on roids.

      @@ChicagoScorpionLook up the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Skulltula and look at how it big it looks when it’s close to Link to get an idea of how it’s size would compare to an average sized man and it looks fairly realistic as well, I could honestly imagine a spider that big living in the Carboniferous, it’s not gigantic in an exaggerated sense but it’s not small either and it’s somewhat close to Arthropleura in size, making it seem like a realistic possibility that something similar to a spider like that could’ve actually existed, I’d estimate that the spider probably looks close to 5 feet tall and maybe 7-8 feet in length, imagine encountering that and if they turned out to be venomous as well…and possibly just getting bitten by the likely huge fangs it would’ve possessed even without taking venom into consideration would potentially be enough to kill a person because of how deeply they would penetrate into flesh.

    Fun fact: if you were to travel back in time to the Carboniferous period and encounter Pulmonoscorpius and it stings you, its venom would have little effect on you since there were no mammals at that time for its venom to evolve on to kill. There also wouldn't be any mosquitoes at that time, either despite it being a massive swampland since they haven't evolved yet. Also, wildfire would be more intense than today due to the abundance of oxygen.

    This 'King Kong' film is the absolute best to date, and I knew this back when it first debuted in 'o5. I was only a high schooler, but I knew that this film was epic in the sense of its C.G.I., special effects, plot line, delivery & execution, and casting. There aren't too many things that I like Jack Black in', but he totally destroyed' his role (in this in the best way possible-colloquially, this is a good thing). But the woman who played Anna is so much the shining star in this film. Focusing-in on the C.G.I. & special effects of the film, it's unmistakable the amount of effort that was put into making the concepts and schemes of this movie come to life. Not only is Kong just stunning and realistic in every frame, but even the side characters, or creatures, that have such little roles in the film seem to have taken so much artistic ability and meticulous crafting. This bug scene reaffirmed my phobia of worms and worm-like creatures.

      ​​I think people are simplifying the entire Arachnid clade into the term "spider". I think its fairly likely that there were some large Arachnids (Excluding "Scorpionoids"), they just wouldn't have been spiders in the traditional sense. Haha. (There were definitely large Chelicerates though, if we want to bastardize the term "Spider" even more, Sea Scorpions being the best example. Which ironically enough is what Megarachne was. Lmao.) @@promaster4758

    This scene was in homage to a scene from the original 1933 theatrical King Kong, that was men being torn apart by giant spiders, but the scene was later removed for being too gory for audiences.
    Nice that Jackson clearly has a passion for this film.

    I was in grade 4... I came home feeling sick. Only my brother was there that day. I went to the couch and turned on the TV and tried to find something to watch. King Kong was on. When it got to this scene, it literally made me throw up. I was already feeling sick... but this specific scene sent me right over the edge. Still gives me the shivers thinking about it. Also... movies today dont seem to have as good CGI. I bet if the movie was made today, it wouldnt even make me throw up.

    In the XBOX 360/PlayStation 2/Nintendo GameCube game of Peter Jackson's King Kong movie, the giant centipedes scare me more than the dinosaurs do, know why? Because sometimes they hide in holes in stone walls, and you have to stand a good distance away and look really carefully to see their heads and shoot them or throw a spear at their heads, otherwise when you walk by a hole with a giant centipede waiting to jump out at you, you will get the WORST JUMPSCARE OF YOUR LIFE. 5:44 There are scorpions big as adult cats in the game, but they are not as dangerous as the giant centipedes, one spear or sharp bone fragment can easily kill them, but still don't underestimate them.

Scorpions who have smaller chela (pincers) are most likely have a more painful venom in order to subdue their prey while those woth bigger and giant chela (pincers) dont have much as a potent venom in their stingers as you mentioned. They can tear their prey apart with their strong chela (pincers)

When the giant leeches came on screen I started screaming and crying and forced him to turn the movie off. From a scientific standpoint it is very cool. But even as an adult I still can't handle that scene. I can handle blood and gore. I've watched some pretty intensely gory movies and even enjoyed some of them. But parasites f*ck me up, and giant ones are my literal worst nightmare.
