“It is proven yes, that is the average size”
You posted a picture of concept art. Concept art is not an average size of a creature it just is the art the creators originally used for reference or design.
“Not really? I flat out posted the entire page of dialogue in the blog so that full context was given”
I don’t know how to explain this point without sounding rude, but I’ll try. You didn’t take it out of context, because you provided the scan, but you did misinterpret it.
“No? The Giant Nevermore doesnt have an inconsistent size, its a puppet rig it is one size, its not capable of being varying sizes in the same shot.”
Last I checked the lifting strength for Ruby had to recalculated like half a dozen times because the Nevermore’s height was extremely inconsistent.
“Funny how if this were any other verse it would be described as 'accurate' rather than 'inflated' given the overwhelming evidence supporting the Goliaths being that size with the only arguments against them being 'they dont look that big so they must not be'.”
They not ‘looking’ or actually not being very large is a perfectly acceptable arguement when debating sizes we are trying to debate. 20 stories tall vs only a few stories is clearly noticeable by eyesight. The Goliaths are clearly never shown to be 20 stories tall and the calc you did to prove it was rejected.
When it comes to Coco. Imagine if a entomologists who has been studying insects for years was suddenly shown a new insect, from a few feet away, and only got to glance at it for a couple seconds. Then you suddenly ask them to name its exact size, is the entomologists going to be able to tell you the exact dimensions of the bug. No, and if they try to answer the question they especially won’t give a vague comparison to other creatures that can vary in size.
She knows what a Nevermore is. She knows what a Goliath is. Meanwhile she clearly was completely bewildered by the blind worm throughout the entire rest of the paragraph then gave a vague comparison for its size rather than giving an actual concrete size. It’s like call an actual elephant 5 lions tall, why would you ever say that versus feet or meters.
All of links don’t work. Also Dargoo has shown pictures, even from the show, that have the large Nevermore’s be different sizes (I’m not referring to the world of revenant pictures, I’m referring to the pictures he posted that are clearly from the show).
Though this entire size debate doesn’t even matter much because the speed came from mashing two sentences together. When it comes to the other stuff, creating a sandstorm through speed is completely unquantifiable. Also you are saying it took it 5-10 minutes. Is there a quote in the story saying it took it that long, because why is not a 100% known timeframe. Also last I checked the horizon for things on the ground is 3 miles so I’ll plug that into a speed calculator right now (travelled 3 miles in 5 minutes): I got 36 miles per hour. Which is close to being two times slower than the ‘train statement’ and is a high ball. Not a massive highball, but it still is using the minimum timeframe. Last I checked we almost always go for the low ball with these feats so the speed we should be using is 18 miles per hour.
