big threat theory

King Kong, Mount Tai, the sea monster, the city in the sky... etc. There are too many examples of the same theme, but when I read it, my heart is still sour.
It's very similar to "King Kong", the giant always gives people too much sense of shock, so there are monsters about Gesla, "Clover File" and other themes that have to run out again and again to "invade people". Homes", "destroying beautiful cities"... But in fact, these are all just entertainment projects for people to scare themselves.
From the extinction of the mammoth, the moa, and the Haast eagle to the precarious fate of the great white shark, the reality we have always faced is the fate of those behemoths being driven out and hunted down by people.
Big, is it a threat? Perhaps selfish self-preservation and shrinking from competition are the greatest enemies.
Big, not only have rights; but also bear more responsibilities.
Just like when the steel giant took on the disaster for innocent lives, individuals who are not strong enough have no such ability, when the disaster happens? Isn't the hero we expect also a Giant who is stronger than everyone and everyone?
So, the Great Power Threat Theory? It is also a truth~

    Annie Hughes: Oooooh! I remember the raccoon.
