I think it's legit. Some of the big bois had shoulder heights of 4-5 meters, and if the human depicted is 1.5~1.75 meters, it looks ok.

Damn, why'd I even try to zoom in on that?

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

would make for an apeshit parkour game.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

But he's waving hi! all friendly

[–] sheepishly@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Naw man, that's his Pokemon team. They're all friends and he's gonna win the world tournament
