Look at the angle of destruction, where the claw marks started. It is obviously MUCH much taller than the Statue of Liberty, and so it didn't need to plant it's feet anywhere near the base or on the statue of liberty. The angle is like a softball through, going from the hip region and UP, or like an upper cut!!

What about the theory of multiple monsters? One that can fly maybe?

[Animaniac]

If you want to approximate handsize, check the SoL head in the new trailer. Theres (IIRC) 4 claw marks in it, three on one side of the head and one (thumb) one on the other. Grumpypants palmed the sol head.

And why is one building leaning against the other with the lights on? Because if it collapsed our heroes couldnt go climbing through it to get Beth

well in the official movie description, they DO describe it as being the size of a skyscraper...

Im thinking somewhere around 500-600 feet.

I know we don't see the ESB in the trailer and teaser, but we do know that many of the buildings nearby are a good portion of it's total height. In the poster and in the teaser, we don't see the monster despite seeing the carnage and indications in both that the attack is still under way. Even the glimpse we see in the trailer shows us that it's pretty tall, but not tall enough that Hud looks up to see it clearly over the buildings in front of him.

550-750ft is sounding like a good range for Grumpypants.

So, here's a question for debate - Which of the following is more plausible, given what we know or can safely infer about Grumpypant's size, body structure, etc...

1. Grumpypants was somehow created or designed (by Ganu/Tagruato); or,

2. Grumpypants was found, i.e., is a naturally occurring organism that's simply remained undetected for all these years; or,

3. Grumpypants was not purposefully engineered by anyone, but is the result of some kind of toxic contamination resulting in the mutation of a whale or some other natural sea creature.

Given the sheer size of this thing, and the fact that it can walk, and can roar (i.e., lungs), and has arms and/or clawed tentacles strong enough to rip off the SOL's head... whaddyall think? Based on what we can guess about the thing, I think #2 has to be ruled out, but I dunno. Thoughts?

Oh, and I suppose we shouldn't rule out #4 either:

4. Grumpypants is "not of this world," i.e., extra-terrestrial, or extra-dimensional.

[And, I realize the answer might just be: It's a movie! Stop over-thinking it! but, c'mon... it's fun ].

for some odd reason i think this moster can make itself walk on water for a certain amount of time

im prolly wrong but idc

I think if it was 700 feet + in height it would use the SoL's head like a marble. It would be like a gumball in Shaq's hand. I so wish it would be 700 feet tall as that would be so cool. No way to know for sure but I think it is going to be 350-400 feet tall. At 350-400 feet tall it would still be able to reach the tops of the buildings we see with damage in the trailer and be able to palm the SoL's head with ease.

Yeah the poster is like snapshots of the destruction all combined into one, hence the wake and debris still falling off the statue when the monster is deep into the city.
