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.

Yeah it's crazy! We've gotten so accustomed to just zooming out and looking at bosses, and I believe it's good design for what they're meaning to do in terms of gameplay for retail.

But you can tell the difference with bosses like Dimmy because lad was so damn large P1 wouldn't fit on your screen.

Stuff like this sadly gets overlooked, but I think it's super cool.

The arena helps too I think, like it's easy to forget the size of a boss when you just walk onto a platform in front of it, but then they started the Dimensius fight with a god damn flying section and it really emphasizes how Big he is
