No Equal-Opportunity Time Travel | |
Ark: The Animated Series / int_1f343bac | comment |
No Equal-Opportunity Time Travel: While the brutality of the island is somewhat of an equalizing factor (even Nerva, a Roman general, allows women in his forces), many people from different times arrived on the island and brought their prejudices with them. Bob is surprised that women can be professors in the future, Rockwell thinks that Helena's affinity with dinosaurs is because women are have an inherent affinity for the Serpent, and Nerva is acting like the ideal Roman general by trying to conquer the island and enslave those who won't comply. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
Ark: The Animated Series / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Rockwell is a conniving snake in both continuities. But in the game, he initially befriends Helena over their mutual love of science, while in the series, they get off on the wrong foot very quickly. In the game lore, the only tamed Giganotosaurus belonged to Mei Yin and proved instrumental in her battle against the Megapithecus and confrontation with Nerva's army. In the series, instead it is Nerva whom is its master. | |

Plot Armor | |
Ark: The Animated Series / int_2a44899 | comment |
Plot Armor: Mei Yin is plausibly an even match for Nerva, even with the size difference, as they have both been fighting their entire lives. Helena, on the other hand, is a squishy modern woman with almost zero training in sword fighting, and so should have been killed even more quickly than the Red Shirts. Instead, she holds her own against him for a while and survives. | |

Artistic License – Paleontology | |
Ark: The Animated Series / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: The series naturally retains the inaccuracies made by the game, but also has a few additional ones which stand out. A Leedsichthys manages to kill a megalodon, even causing it to bleed with a bite. Leedsichthys was a filter-feeding fish with thousands of tiny teeth used for sifting through the water for plankton not unlike a whale shark. The Tyrannosaurus in the series have three-fingered hands, rather than the two-fingered hands both their real and game counterparts had. | |
