They punch harder, take more hits, and aren't afraid of breaking certain laws of physics. There's a problem with having giants as part of the main cast, though: they don't fit in small places Fortunately, animators have found the solution to this problem: completely disregard any sense of scale! Sure, the giant is half the size of the building... on the outside! On the inside, he's got a good 10 or so feet (3 m) of space between his head and the ceiling. This effect is particularly noticeable when size is compared to other characters; a regularly-sized human might stand about as tall as the giant's hip in a regular scenario, but the giant will easily catch that same character in the palm of one hand in a later action sequence. The same lack of scale holds true for tiny characters as well. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:903404558] in Best of th...
