(The problem with the horse-sized duck, or any oversized fantasy creature, is that it falls foul of the Square-Cube Law. To give an example: if we imagine "a superhuman that is 10 times the size of a regular human", then it'll have 1000 times the mass of a regular human, but only 100 times the muscular strength. Therefore, the superhuman will have only one-tenth of the power-to-weight ratio of a regular human, so it won't be able to do many of the things that a regular human can)
Never thought of it like this before.
Would you rather drive a restored classic car or a luxury sedan?
