am i the only one who thinks spinosaurus still looks like a badass even with the short back legs?

You're not alone at all, at least it doesn't look too cliche.
And the tripod stance is interesting to say the very least...

i don't think that the "tripod" Spino is accurate, i don't think that he can walk and run in that stance, and his neck and belly are exposed, his other w weak point(the first is the sail), TriSpino looks even weaker than his quadrupedal form

or perhaps you ignore the fact that the arms and jaws are in a prefect position to protect those areas as well as in a position to clash down with all its forward cg, as well as the apparent height disadvantage is neutralized. still not favoring spinosaurus in this semi-aquatic adaptions, as it's still likely out of it's element on land, but i do believe that this position could be used for threatening stances or even territorial fighting. something like this  6-7 tons, or possibly more, of animal slamming straight at your body does not sound preferable. |

I don't know, looking at that diagram, it looks like it will shatter under all that weight on those tiny little legs, even with the extra tail "leg".
I definitely do not think that if it looked like this that it would be like that all the time, maybe only when it is fighting. I have NOT read the blog yet, so, I am kind of making those forbidden uneducated guesses.

I definitely do not think that if it looked like this that it would be like that all the time, maybe only when it is fighting. I have NOT read the blog yet, so, I am kind of making those forbidden uneducated guesses. There is a good chance it would be able to support its body weight with such proportionally small legs: 'the femur of Spinosaurus described by Ibrahim et al. (2014) is as short and robust than other large theropodi, and that the fourth femoral trochanter is placed more distally: this combination of characters indicates a femur capable of generating more power at the expense of speed. Such a femur would be able to withstand greater mechanical stress during lifting to move and maintain a bipedal posture raised more than in the other theropodi? In this regard, it is noteworthy that the proportions of the leg (femur short and robust, relationship tibia / femur relatively greater compared to taxa size comperabili) remind its modern birds, in which the posture of the chest is relatively more upright than the typical horizontal posture of the spine in the majority of theropodi.' |

Aha, thanks for clearing that up. I guess then it does have credibility, but it... it just looks so... "1916" as the it seems to be put in the blog. I don't know, I guess the fact that I do not like it makes me not believe it. It might help if we had better illustrations of tripodal Spino here, besides just a skeleton. |

The skeletal model is probably the most useful in terms of analysing the anatomy, but diagrams which show muscle mass density in different areas of the body could be useful as well for this kind of fight scenario
Also I think he was taking the piss out of a comment someone said about the model, I'll have another look

"I showed how the morphology of the region and cervical basicranica Spinosaurus allows a marked elevation of the head and neck, so that the animal take a pose "by pelican", and that the huge development of the neural spines backbones can be an adaptation to the insertion of a muscle epiassiale powerful enough to maintain that posture, which, in turn, shifting the center of gravity may avoid resorting to a posture quadruped. In that hypothesis, I have not seen the back of the body, especially the tail."
You are discrediting an idea because of how odd it sounds, and ignoring its reasoning.

If that short legged Spinosaurus is really accurate, then Tyrannosaurus takes this on land, while on shallow water/deep water, Spinosaurus would win.
