question: Why are giants always shown as being so slow in movies? I know they would be heavier and need to move a lot more weight, but don’t they have the proportions of a normal person? Their muscles would be bigger allowing them to move at a normal speed.
comment: In movies, it is because it looks right. But it is also realistic, due to the 'square-cube law' - that strength increases by the square of length, but mass increases by the cube. So you'd expect animal 3 times bigger to be 9 times stronger, but 27 times heavier - proportional to it's mass, the bigger animal is 1/3 as strong. This is why small fleas can jump so high, but elephants can't jump at all.
passages: In Hinduism, the giants are called Daityas. The Daityas (दैत्य) were the children of Diti and the sage Kashyapa who fought against the gods or Devas because they were jealous of their Deva half-brothers. Since Daityas were a power-seeking race, they sometimes allied with other races having similar ideology namely Danavas and Asuras. Daityas along with Danavas and Asuras are sometimes called Rakshasas, the generic term for a demon in Hindu mythology. Some known Daityas include Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha. The main antagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana, Ravana, was a Brahmin from his father's side and a Daitya from his mother's side. His younger brother Kumbhakarna was said to be as tall as a mountain and was quite good natured.

   King Caesar's character concept was inspired by a traditional Okinawan folk tale in which a Shisa protects a village from a rampaging dragon. This myth is referenced in the character's introductory film, "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla", in which the titular Mechagodzilla plays the role of the evil "dragon". It is portrayed as a loyal and powerful protector of mankind, in reference to the role Shisa play in Okinawan tradition. Character profiles in supporting media describe the monster as standing 50 meters (164 feet)-100 meters (328 feet) tall and weighing 30,000 tonnes (33,069 short tons)-50,000 tonnes (55,115 short tons). King Caesar is shown to be swift and athletic. It can also draw an enemy's energy weapons into its right eye and reflect them back from its left eye with ten times the force, and empower itself with solar energy.
   Scott Lang / Ant-Man (portrayed by Paul Rudd) serves as the Marvel Cinematic Universe equivalent of Giant-Man; various interviews with directors Anthony and Joe Russo, Marvel Studios's head Kevin Feige, and "Ant-Man" director Peyton Reed confirmed this. In "" (2016), Ant-Man grows in size during a battle between the Avengers. In "Ant-Man and the Wasp" (2018), Scott Lang goes giant when going after Sonny Burch's gang, becoming extremely fatigued if he is giant for too long. In "" (2019), he uses the form to break free of the ruin of the New Avengers facility and subsequently joins the Battle of Earth as Giant-Man.
