Anonymous asked: imagine that works of art come alive. would you rather fight 100 ugly old-man-like medieval painting babies or ron mueck's giant baby?
Are you kidding? Baby or not, that thing could wreck me with a single swipe of its arm. The \n100 ugly old-man-like medieval painting babies \n\nwould be ineffectual and weak even en masse. I could easily defeat them by running away a bit and then just taking them on in small groups, punting as necessary.

Fighting a cow can be very dangerous! Cape buffalo kill like 200 people a year. They don\u2019t have those horns for nothing. And in terms of mass that baby looks more like an elephant, which would more than make up for its lack of horns or tusks.

Man babies can’t hold themselves erect or aligned as is, scale the same body plan up to that mass and it would be immobile.
Plus all the major weak spots - eyes, fontanelle, orifices - would be scaled up to the point they’re trivial targets, and meanwhile who knows what those old man babies are capable of.
