Which they made bigger in Jurassic Park, so that's actually proving the point. A bigger raptor species was only discovered after the first movie.

Doesn't it demonstrate that the actual dinos in real life don't have to be big to be popular, because humans will simply portray them how they want to see and bring interest in the species regardless?

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
