Thursday Throwback

Screenshot of Nancy Archer from Attack of the 50-Foot Woman. Superimposed text reads: Giantesses: from Nancy Archer to Skaði

My fascination with giantesses started at a young age, with Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and Village of the Giants. I found them in movies, TV shows, commercials, video games—finally studying Scandinavian myth for traces of heathen giantess-cults. I wonder what it all means.
