Jolly Green Giant must be kaiju also.

Sprout is a baby kaiju.

That's a big log

By definition, yes. An abnormally large creature capable of destroying a building without the use of any big weapons. Mr Bunyan could easily topple a building in NYC with just his hands.

It’s a Japanese word, in English we just say giant

Like Isekai, in English we just say fantasy

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Isekai means different world and is specific a subgenre of fantasy. For literal fantasy, it's just ファンタジー or fantoji, lol.

In English it’s not popular enough to differentiate

Ah, I see what you mean. I misinterpreted the intent of your original comment - I'm a wee hungover lol.

Way to fuck up my whole Sunday

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think there's a different word for when it's a giant person instead of giant monster. In English he'd just be a giant.

Nah, he's just a French Canadian logger.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Bunyan doesn't sound like a French name to me. Also, didn't it start as a Midwestern U.S. folktale? Like Wisconsin and Minnesota? That's what I thought.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I've heard that he was the continuation of Joseph "Jos" Montferrand, a French Canadian logger and legend born in Montreal, who worked in the Gatineau and Outaouais region, known also as big John Mufferaw. He then moved south of the border to continue working as a logger where he became known as Paul Bunyan.

I heard that Big Joe Mufferaw paddled down the Mattawa

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Bunyan sounds the same as some old French Canadian swear word, but is written differently. I think the real spelling would be something like "bon yenne", and also resembles a French Canadian folklore named "Bon Jean".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yes!!!! Absolutely!!!

...where'd he chop a tree that big? did that bastard take down all the cool, fantasy trees??

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

They must've been everywhere before he arrived.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I’m pretty sure I remember that being part of his story, he chopped all the big trees down or smth.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Well now we know where all the Entwives went.

Best lumberjack in the Sahara Forest

Godzilla X Paul Bunyan would do NUMBERS

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, Godzilla is best when he is the problem.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I'd watch that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Can't wait till someone make film about it with ai

Unless it's from the Kaijuu region of Japan, it's only sparkling beast.
