      You mean if humans evolved in zero-G or something? Sure maybe It sounds silly but it is a major evolutionary liability that our brains are pretty big and heavy so we put a lot of energy into holding our heads up, it's one reason our species is prone to back problems

      But in the broad sense "repealing the square-cube law" isn't a coherent concept Like the square-cube law isn't a *law* exactly, it's just... math, it's the logical result of the simple fact that when you scale something up or down, it doesn't scale up the whole universe with it

      The square-cube law explains why you can't have 100-foot-tall humans mainly because we're going with the idea that expanding a human 20x in size doesn't change literally everything else about the physics of a human They're still made of the same flesh and bone

      A world "without the square-cube law" would be a world where this wasn't true, where whatever process "makes things bigger" also makes the materials it's made of stronger, allows it to process more energy with no negative effects from doing so, etc.

      A mythological giant that looks like it's made of flesh and bone but its bones are stronger than steel and its flesh burns many times hotter than a forge (because it has to process enough energy to move a mass many times the size of a human) without catching fire Like Godzilla

      You can change the proportions though, or give up things like speed in exchange for size. Or try to move around some of the weight.

      Supporting all the weight is another issue, yeah. This is part of why tanks and bulldozers and such have tracks instead of wheels. They need to spread their weight over a proportionally greater area, or they'll bog down constantly

      It's another big issue with the concept of bipedal mecha. At the sizes most of them are depicted as, even just regular steps should be putting their feet well into the ground. Even on pavement or stone. Something like the climax of LoK, Kuvira's mech should have sunk instantly

      Right, it's not just that the magic that "compensates for the square-cube law" means the molecules that make up the thing itself have to behave differently, it has to affect everything that object interacts with

      Basically scenes that "violate the square cube law" have things interact in a way that's fundamentally contradictory Godzilla crunches buildings like cardboard (because that's what they are) while the pavement and earth he's standing on still acts solid as ever

      It's like Superman violating the square cube law in his own small way when he does stuff like lift a car You can pick up a tiny toy car by its bumper just fine A real full size car will have the bumper tear off

          It's not just that Superman *himself* is super strong but that the things he interacts with also get whatever measure of super-strength necessary for his powers to work in the way the audience expects Picking up and throwing things without tearing them apart

          It's like the thing about Superman giving the speech about the "World of Cardboard" Like, there's a certain level of physical strength the materials that make up the world have, and they don't scale up or down, it's fixed

          now i'm imagining superman being careful to line up his fingers with the jack points before lifting a car [iirc officially his body projects a structural integrity field to things he's holding, which is also why his clothes are immune to bullets]

          my favorite example of this is in Superman (1978) where he catches, and then carries, a falling helicopter by one of its skids
