Your Size May Vary: Difference between revisions

** In the anime, Charizard's size would change all the time. It's usually about 1.5 times Ash's height (even then that's larger than the 5'07'' given in the game), but sometimes seems to be about the size of a car.

** Ash's Staraptor; sometimes it comes up to Ash's shoulder rather than about Brock's height.

* The EVA Units in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are somewhere between 40 and 200 meters tall. One piece of concept art says Unit 01 is a more realistic ''ten'', but unlike most mecha shows, the creators were honest enough to admit never worrying about anything aside from [[Rule of Cool|what would make an interesting visual]], and as a result the Evas' size relative to buildings, known landmarks, people, etc., changed from episode to episode.

** ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' seems to more consistently stick with 80m. Conversely, ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' (where a mech's size determines it's probability of getting hit and in some games damage taken) each unit is only '''15''' meters for gameplay purposes.

** San Juan Wolf, the biggest character in the series, and a giant larger than any other giant portrayed so far is about the most absurd example yet. He makes the second largest character (who ''himself'' makes giants look small) seem unnoticeable by comparison, by appearing ''behind'' an island that character was on. So huge he's the building he was until recently imprisoned in, which also houses every other great criminal and was large enough that dozens of people could go missing. Uhh...

*** Lampshaded by having him break the raft that his crew (averaging about 15 feet without him) used up until this point, necessitating the need of a battleship. Both of which ''should'' be about the size of his hand.

** The anime [[Hand Wave|handwaves]] this with Gamakichi demonstrating a size-altering jutsu that allowed him (and presumably other large summons) to shrink to a more convenient size if needed.

** The Tailed Beasts also appear to vary in size. The most notable example is the Nine-Tailed Fox; his first appearance portrays him as towering around 300m over the forests on the outskirts of the Leaf Village (implying that the trees are only 50m tall), a human being only the size of his pupil. Throughout the series, he is portrayed as being about a third that size.<ref>mainly because only half of his chakra is sealed inside Naruto</ref> {{spoiler|However, in the latest fight between Naruto/Kurama and five of the Tailed Beasts, the fox aura is just as big, if not a little smaller, than the other beasts.}}

** In ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]],'' the Lightspeed Megazord is the main formation. When the Rail Rescues (giant train cars that carry the Lightspeed Megazord's component mecha) form the Super Train Megazord, and it's seen in relation to the Lightspeed, the Lightspeed looks like a ten-year-old standing next to Daddy. However, when both are in the same fight, the [[Monster of the Week]] is the same height as Lightspeed when in a shot with Lightspeed, and the same height as the Super Train when in a shot with the Super Train.

** ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'' outdoes Brachio in terms of [[Bigger on the Inside]]-ness. The Delta Squad Megazord is the main formation, about the size of the other seasons' main formations (such as the Lightspeed and Thundersaurus Megazords.) Its components, the five Delta Runners, are released from the interior of the base, a building comparable in size to other downtown buildings, and we've seen enough of its interior to account for a great deal of its interior space. It's revealed that the base has its own [[Humongous Mecha]] formations, one humanoid, one vehicle. When releasing the Delta Runners while in its vehicle formation, we get to see where they're stored—and they take up the entirety of the base's interior. Even if all we've seen of the base's interior is all there is, making it so that people only occupy a few floors... there's just no way. And ''later,'' new jet-based Zords are introduced, and launched from the base in its ''standard building formation,'' and when it opens to release them, the base appears to be ''entirely hollow.'' Even if the jets are primarily stored in the underground hangar we find out about later on, there's ''no way'' the place they're launched from and the building's interior can coexist. Apparently, 90% of SPD's Earth headquarters exists in [[Hammerspace]].

** Probably the series' greatest offender is Serpenterra. In ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', Serpentera is '''immense''', making the Rangers' Megazords look like humans in comparison. In ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]'', Serpenterra has noticeably shrunk, as Cole seems to be the same size the Red Dragon Thunderzord was.

** A classic scene of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' has an overgrown Goldar reaching for an escaping bus. The bus is the size of a matchbox compared to Goldar's hand. The very next shot show Goldar toying with the bus, now about same size as Goldar's own fore-arm.
