    I remember reading once that the human skeleton couldn’t possibly support a 50-foot giant. Or even a 10-foot giant. The world’s tallest people have all kinds of skeletal issues. The tallest man in recorded history, Robert Wadlow 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m), had to wear leg braces because his leg bones were so brittle. Also, he couldn’t feel anything in his lower legs and feet because his nerves down there just didn’t have the energy to make it to his brain.

          I haven’t seen that in probably close to 30 years, but the melodrama of that scene has always stuck with me.
