Who's your favourite giant character?

Hi everyone!
It’s great to finally have a forum focused on tiny ladies and big men. When I found out about this place, an idea immiediately came to my mind - maybe I could find more giants in media with the help of others.
So, I have a question for everyone: Who is your favourite giant character? Be it from a novel, like the big man Gulliver himself, from comic, like Ant Man (I love those moments when he goes big!) or even anime!
Personally, I love giants from the Macross franchise, especially Quamzin Kravshera and Vrlitwhai Kridanik. They’re from the first instalment of Macross - the original SDF Macross from 1982.
What about you?

@madoranoir Since M/f is already such a niche category, it’s difficult to find a ton of options. I think my favorite has to be Ant Man in Avengers: Civil War simply bc of the believability and realistic CGI/interactions with the rest of the characters. Plus he’s a fun person to begin with, so it makes him all the more likable when he’s big!!
Otherwise, definitely Eren from Attack on Titan in his titan form. I wish there were more interactions and more screen time with him, but ooooo when he is shown I’m like 🥵 He’s huge and sexy and monster-y which makes it so appealing!!

@madoranoir I think my all time favorite has to be King Kong. He was the big guy who got me into loving monsters and giants, especially giant monsters! The 2005 version is my favorite, especially when Kong and Anne are playing in the snow together in Central Park.

@janedoe I’m so agreed on Eren. Total beast of a giant, even if he’s got that creepy tooth face. At least Hange seems to get it though, that one lovely scene where she’s on his shoulder, and she just outright melts when Eren glances and nods to her!

Gulliver is a great giant! I really like Prince Lorian from Dark Souls
I like Quamzin Kravshera too :]

My favorite Giant character is Minami-kun from Minami Kun no Koibito!! Technically he’s a normal sized man with a shrunken girl friend…that counts, right? I mean, he is Giant from her perspective
If you’re not familiar with Minami Kun no Koibito, it’s a popular drama that’s been rebooted several times in Japan! It follows a highschool senior (Minami-kun) and his classmate/girlfriend (Chiyomi) who shrinks suddenly. He then keeps her secret and takes care of her until they can figure out how to get her back to normal.
*Warning! I may describe some things that maybe minor spoilers, so just enjoy the pictures and don’t keep reading if you want no spoils!
So, I know 4 versions of this character. First is the manga version, which gets a little porny at times …but warning…might not be the happiest of endings. Here’s a small snippet of what Minami kun looks like. Since I’ve only read this comic with my grade school Japanese skills I know this Minami the least.
The story for 1994’s Minami-kun mirrors the manga version the most, so again…warning. There was lots of campy size fun though, and the graphics weren’t half bad, which was great considering it was just a regular TV show at its time.
The next two Minami’s are a tie for me 2004’s Minami kun had IMO the best story and best ending! This version was special to me because @Seru and I were roughly the same ages as the characters when it came out, and it was also roughly the time when I came out to my husband about my kink - so we both watched it! I loved this version, and if I met the actor (Ninomiya) I would probably lose my shit lol The only downside to this version was that I felt it was the sweetest, purest one yet…which is nice, but I wanted something between them. I mean, they’re high school seniors, a couple living together in secret…you would think they’d be more…curious.
I actually felt like this version of Minami kun didn’t have as many visually exciting sizey moments as the 94’ version, so that was slightly disappointing. There were few moments like this one where he froze on the stairs fearing he might have crushed herThe last Minami-kun no koibito is the 2015 version. I did not like this version as much because the story telling was a bit meh sometimes, Chiyomi (his girlfriend) was kind of annoying and the ending wasn’t bad…but not what I wanted.
They had a decent amount of size scenes, but a lot of them were Chiyomi more interacting with stuff than Minami kun himself. Which I guess the guys here might care for, but I find it boring lol.
The one who saved the 2015 version in my opinion was Minami-kun and the sexy actor (Nakagawa) who played him. Not only was this the HOTTEST Minami-kun, this story started out way different. They weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, they were old “ex” best-friends, and Minami was annoyed to take care of Chiyomi. He wanted to get rid of her, and she begged him to keep her hidden, which he reluctantly did. She had a total crush on him (which I did think was super cute), and there was lots of sexual tension.
He does anything he can to try and get her normal sized and get rid of her, but eventually he does end up falling for her. It was really nice because he fell for her like this, versus the other way around…I really loved this Minami kun!!

@jitensha King Kong. He is big and knows it. Uses the power for himself - yet at the same time, grabs a woman that he knows he wants - yet somehow treats her with care whilst telling the world this is the one he has picked.

I have so many, but my top 10 would be Zilla jr (Godzilla the series), Titan Eren (AoT), Oozaru Vegeta or Bardock (DBZ), Kurama (Naruto), Giant man, Ifrit (Reincarnation as a Slime), Yoki (Kekkaishi), Deathsaurus (Transformers Victory), and Megatron (Armada)

There are so few giants (especially men) that it is hard to find one. I mean, I like King Kong and Eren but one is a monkey and the other one is a giant two seconds. If had to lower my height standards I’ll go for Sidon from tLoZ:BotW. He is sweet and is best boy ^^! He is not the standard giant size but he’s big enough to make my macrophilic heart go wild. Hulk would also be one of those giants but not quite giants that make my heart go bum.

- Gulliver. Actually considered a tattoo of him.
- Godzilla - I’m a bit of a scaly, blame the Matthew Broderick movie that was really cool to me at the time
- Horny from the PC game Dungeon Keeper (a Plausible giant)
- Ant Man just because he’s the ADORABLE Paul Rudd
- The Incredible Hulk. Those tight shorts. Collar steams

Warren Ellis’ riff on Fin Fang Foom. Hell, Fin Fang Foom in general - fit and sleek dragon man a few hundred feet tall, leaves flattened cities in his wake, likes to try to eat heroes, tight leather shorts and nice pecs and guns. I wouldn’t mind leveling a few blocks of skyscrapers and brownstones looking like.
Oh, and this is what his most current incarnation looks like - https://images.app.goo.gl/uYgMZT5KZGD3Hjjd8

@nei Hell yeah! Prince Sidon! Too bad Link was so into Mipha, and too bad there aren’t romance options in TLoZ (not seriously though, that would be weird to be honest), because Prince Sidon was a mega hottie and he’s like almost 11 feet tall.
