Whether Realistic or unrealistic, none of those have the wing membrane going trough the sides so they just look silly with those giant hands

There's not a single vertebrate on earth which has 4 legs and wings

Right, due to evolution, but there's no reason to suppose dragons or any other fantasy creature are necessarily evolved.
>>
>>332448559

It was my first movie on imax 3D and i fucking loved it since the cgi blended really well with the 3D.

Rewatched it at home years later and it was just ok, it deserves a watch imo
>>
>>332449315

Taking the mystery and magic out of dragons is what makes them lame. They're supposed to defy reason and be powerful beings, not just some species of flying reptile. 6 limbs is part of that reason defying mystery, as is being massive in size and still capable of flight.

>>332446705
>fantasy

It's a mythological/folklorist creature. There are written accounts of dragons being described in the same way that there are written accounts of the description of wyverns and other mythological beings. Threads like these discuss the accuracy of the portrayal of dragons when comparing them to these accounts. You're a fucking idiot.

I'll give you all of them except the bottom right, Bahamut.
He's not supposed to be some kind of natural occuring animal but rather a manifestation of someones soul, A kind of "Idea" of that persons Spirit, like a god, something that was shaped and formed to represent an Idea rather than a specific being.

He's not really supposed to be a dragon creature.

But yeah, generally I prefer the "2 feet and wings" creatures, as in our animal kingdom no single animal has 4 feet and wings.

But if they're fire breathing, all knowing, never aging superbeats.. fuck it. they can have 8 legs for all I care because that's by far not the worst bit about those.
