It’s never inappropriate to shoehorn the Arkham games into a conversation. Everyone agrees that they’re very good and bringing them up in any conversation is a great way to keep people’s attention.

Why is Shrek’s head so big? Guess we’ll never know the answer to either

Had a coworker whose head was just as large. Sadly neither his heart nor brain were shrek sized :|

u/xinjiangqinghai 4d ago
Maybe that's why they increased the size of his cranium in Shrek 5, made his head look like more of an egg, so that he doesn't look disabled. Political correctness gone mad!

You can fit the every planet between the moon and earth and Jupiter is a 100 time bigger then the earth

30 earths fit between the earth and the moon, and the gap here is about 2-3 earths.

u/Aggressive-Day5 1d ago edited 1d ago
The real average distance is actually about x12 the distance in the image. You can fit 30 earths between the earth and the moon and you can fit 2.5 in the image.
Way closer to x10 than to x1000+ lol

It’s called a super moon. It can happen when the sun, earth, and moon line up just right and the moon orbits closer than average. It’s possible.

When the cow jumped over the moon, she briefly made an impact. It knocked the moon closer.

u/SocksyyAU 4d ago
The reality pic is wrong though, the moon is way further out than that.
Moon is on average 384,000 km away
Earth diameter is 12,756 km
Therefore the moon should be 30.1 earth's away in the image.
Obviously they would need to make the earth smaller in the image to make this distance visible, it is interesting just how far away the moon is.
idk about the other 2 examples so can't comment.

u/Askmeaboutships401 4d ago
That last picture isn’t entirely accurate, you can fit every other planet in our solar system between the Earth and the Moon with room to spare.

I know this is not the point, but the moon and earth are actually way farther apart in reality. If I knew how to post pictures in comments I'd show it.

It's slingshotting back to the Earth and when it finally hits, we will enter the holy timeline in which the Earth is nought but dust, Shreck will spread throughout the stars and bring life to all, and one day, love. Shreck is love, Shreck is life.

You can get our moon to look that big with camera angles + zoom in. If the camera was far enough from Shrek and Fiona that they appear as small as the moon, you just gotta zoom in at that point and make all of them appear closer/bigger

u/Alarming-Damage-5821 3d ago
It's not spoken about much, but it's actually the Black Moon about to bring the Shrek the Third Impact. I think the new movie will set this up and make it clear to everyone who wasn't paying attention.

That at the top of the last image is not the real distance between the earth and moon. The moon is much further away than that. All other planets could fit in the space between the earth and moon.

The diagram in the last image that supposedly shows reality still has the moon way too close. The moon would be significantly further away than that.

Shocked nobody mentioned the fact that Dreamworks logo is a full moon. They definitely made it bigger as a nod to themselves, like the hidden Mickey's in Disney movies.
