The bitter argument that crucify between the proponents of giant monsters and the advocates for jumbo mass is one that will probably never be settled , but we can at least attempt to explain what each side brings to the tabular array . On the one hand , giant monsters like Godzilla and Space Godzilla ( pictured here in an awesome scrap ) can do things like gnash their tooth and fly . But human gargantuan monster can actually blab out and also flash their titty ( see video below ) . We lay out the professional and cons of giant monster , and the pro and cons of giant the great unwashed , and you may decide for yourself which mega - forms will rule .
Giant People
Pro : As I mentioned above , elephantine citizenry have the capacity to develop really big parts that we want to look at REALLY near up . So in Village of the Giants ( snip above ) a bunch of teenager in the 1960s eat some slap-up damn that makes them grow big . They wind up dancing crazily in the midsection of town , and one of the women sticks a teeny guy between her dummy as decoration , laughing as he cling to her brastraps for dear spirit .
bunko game : The only way to correspond “ really big mass ” is plainly to make them move in slow move .
Pro : Really giant people can get revenge on regular - sized mass , the way the 50 foot woman does in the 1950s flick and the 1990s remake . Watching a giant lady yell at her tiny hubby because he ’s cheating on her makes for great , weird play !
convict : Watching a gargantuan lady yell at her husband while he struggle inside a giant , fake hand is a no - win berth for the hearing .
Pro : Giant people are funny ! That ’s why Hollywood gave us Honey I flinch the Kid !
Con : Honey I Shrunk the Kid exists .
Giant Monsters
Pro : Very gravid teeth , very big claws , and very liberal fights .
Con : Most jumbo monster movies seem to focus on the regular - sized humans far too much , sacrifice worthful clock time that could be devoted to the teeth , claws , and scrap .
Pro : jumbo monster movie can instruct us about societal issues like nuclear radiation and pollution , because so many giant monster are make when they get irradiated — like the gargantuan tarantula in Tarantula !
bunko : Wait , is the lesson of the story that radiation is bad because it make the gargantuan goliath ? Or that it ’s good because we get to see the giant monster fighting a crowd of stuff ? So garbled .
Pro : You have always wanted to see a massive , angry animal drop everything in its path with vast tentacles / claws / pseudopod thing . Now you may .
flimflam : Stomping , oppress , lighting on fire . Can not see the downside .
