Why are giant organic creatures always depicted as extremely slow? What I'm talking about is, say you had a human being. You then supersize him with McDonalds to be 50x bigger, with the exact same proportions and everything. Now, say you told him to walk down the street. Would he slowly lumber down the road, crushing all mailboxes in his way, or would he KENYA MOTHER****ER to the goal?

Another thing that goes with this, why are mechs always depicted as ultra-fast and can fly and shit? They would be MUCH slower than actual beasts.

Given that there aren't any giants or mechas it's kind of useless to actually debate this, wouldn't you think?

and yes, I see the hypothetical tags.

:/. I guess so. Unless the next post is serious then I'll close the thread.

Do you mean because they are giant they are running in slow motion or do you mean big living things are slow in general? Like an elephant.

I mean, a giant human being, if he were told to walk somewhere, would he be really slow or would he run the same speed that a normal person would run (Just giantey-er.).

He'd probably be slow.

Dinosaurs were slow, right? Some of them.

By what piece of imformation have you built that assumption from?

A scaled up creature is different than a creature that is naturally big. A naturaly big creature is adapted to being big and a scaled up creature may encounter structural problems due to its mass increasing and the material that makes it up stays the same.

Im still not quite understanding the question this thread is asking.

fgsfds. Thread closed.
