Maybe a "soft" redesign can be done, making the Giant be closer to a hypothetical WETA depiction, but keeping the good aspects of the vanilla one. And that's true, its mouth looks strange  :D

Son of Osiris was the best :P I think you could have two Pharaohs and the Son of Osiris if New Kingdom was researched, like DieWälkure said. The number of Erestors is increasing fast  :D

I think you could have in the best situation one pharaohs + one son of Osiris, a very lethal combination especially against mythical units  :D :D

Just to suggest a final hint about Giants: Since we mentioned weta as possible source of inspiration, and to keep the standard of the repugnance of the Orcs, this big troll cuold be a good starting point:


It looks similar to the current one in some aspects, but at least it is far more up to date and realistic than the cartoonish version of vanilla :) even if it's still far from idea of Jötunn giant, I like it very much  xD

Walküre:
Fair enough. I deem this solution an apt solution as well. Once we leave aside the whole grotesque touch of the Hobbit (of which trolls/giants were often the most evident symbol), we could indeed toy around with this initial source, and just the source I find very satisfying. So, if there's the will to craft something similar, I think we should start from this concept.

A concept that has very little to do with mountain giants. Sorry, Aulë xD

Well in my point of view the concept above is way more sober than, for example, this one:
Just to make one of many example of hobbit horrid things  :D. I don't want to see stuff like that too, I think you were referring to things like that  ;) or even the ogres are quite out of place:


Anyhow I can say the same about vanilla, which looks like a dinosaur in some aspect :P  :D
I think we could star from something like this DieWalküre, since badly there's no satisfying design which are both giant-tradition and match with the horrid nature of the Goblin  :(

Walküre:
In this case, if you are content of the result, I will bear this WETA concept and the suggestion about the trident in mind. Additional topics that enrich the wide collection of this thread. Needless to say, once we're ready to loosen the boundaries of our imaginative spirit for discussions on the Misty Mountains, I will create a list of any element of valuable note that was brought here to the general attention. In the meantime, we shall wait a bit still ;)
