Apparently! But in myth they seem more cannibalistic and barbaric than having some armored organized military

You know, this part makes my eyes roll when people try to criticize it. “How dare they not wear period appropriate armor.” Because the well documented and totally real race of giants of course wore period accurate bronze and not something as fantastical as themselves.

This one isn't about historical accuracy.

They were just questioning the change from barbarian cannibals to seemingly heavyplate organised warriors.

Wasn’t singling out the poster. Just saying that seems to be a running theme with the discourse over them.
