Why were they so tall 9'-12' and muscular? from a scientific point of view, it makes no sense

in nature, the smartest species tend to be smaller because they use the brain instead of muscle
a human does not have to be strong like a gorilla or as big as an elephant because he has a brain and can invent something, for example a weapon and thanks to his intelligence defeat both
big weight and tall height is only a problem because you need to provide much more calories
if they were so technically advanced and intelligent they should be downsized, they should be even smaller than humans

They were eugenically improving themselves retard.

maybe they were small in comparison to other creatures on their planet
or maybe you're just overthinking a very dumb movie

Their species are called fucking ENGINEERS
They clearly mastered gene manipulation and advanced eugenics and just turned themselves into aesthetic gigachads because why not

Who's taller than the Engineers?

>be alien that can manipulate genes and sheeiiit
>choose to be a whimpy grey ayy lmao to look smarter
user what is that beta approach?

maybe the mother of aliens

it looks awesome and looking awesome in itself is a functionality

I always liked the theory that these guys were a different faction, ones who kept trying to change and enhance themselves, and eventually lost their way, integrating with Xeno biology and becoming far more violent and ruthless. While the original engineers stayed humble, peaceful and still wanted to create normal life. And David killed off their colony. Also, it'd be kinda dumb if they only had one world

Evolution is dog shat! You can't prove it! And no, allele frequency or change and growth( same difference in your physiological make up when you eat and don't eat isn't it!) Isn't evolution! To prove otherwise would require scientific (observation and test) of the first purported instantiation of evolution from muck to all alive today.

They had to move a lot of boxes, also paiting the ceiling is easier that way.

They aren’t natural

even the people they created found a better solution

We are, by far, one of the largest species on Earth. Your entire point is invalidated.

Your ancestors came from sulphuric acid that turned into single cell organisms. Don't believe my establishment programming? You're a fucking bootlicker!

The only one we've seen is like 2m tall at best...

Humans are smarter than ants

Humans are fucking huge compared to most monkeys and we're by far the smartest

It would be in mankind's best interest to crispr gene edit future generations into being as big as possible.

jesus he's taller than like 99% of space marines

Their height is a problem. They get tired when they talk and lose life expectancy.
This is why humans are shorter than them.

Speak for yourself

Yes but not tougher. Space Marines have had so much work done to them they may as well be considered an entirely different species.

I quite liked his design, when he wakes up and starts running, it was quite impactful.

>implying you cannot train mind and muscle
go to the gym, nerd

why? larger people statistically use more resources and calories, and produce more pollutants

Elephants
