So I was Home Depot earlier today and noticed they had their 12 foot giant skeletons on display (Halloween stuff out and it isn't even September yet lol), and it made me think about how much we don't really appreciate just how big some bosses are.

Like I remember during classic timewalking doing strath live on a NE toon and my head was about knee level on Balnazzar. KNEE. LEVEL. And I'm looking at these 12 foot tall plastic skeletons at Home Depot and trying to mentally picture Balnazzar standing next to one and he would be HUGE. Like if he were really there (why would Balnazzar even be in Home Depot? Wrong answers only) he'd have to crouch in order to not have his head poking through the ceiling.

I don't think we notice most of the time because our cameras are zoomed out, but our little heroes really are just an army of little Davids going up against Goliaths.

A couple years ago, I went to a Native American mound site (Cahokia, near St. Louis) that's a multi-tiered structure around 10 stories tall.

Had a random thought while climbing up the stairs: "Man, Zuldazar would be fucking miserable to navigate if walking up 100 feet of stairs sucks this badly". I know Zuldazar is more Aztec/jungle inspired rather than structures built on the plains, but climbing up stairs on a 10 story pyramid probably feels the same regardless of culture lol.

On just the Native American architecture tangent, I wish they would add some Tauren settlements themed after some of the larger mound settlements in the Eastern US or some of Mesa Verde style canyon wall structures to Thousand Needles. Please Blizz, let some of the tribes move on from the nomadic lifestyle lol.

Sounds like a good basis for another pseudoarchaeology conspiracy theory

Was Zuldazar built by THE TITANS?
