Yeah but that’s fiction. The monster is always overpowered for the sake of the film. Real life is different. Real life is why a human can kill an 800 pound tiger with a sharp rock and also why a tiny little tick can paralyze an entire human with a single bite given the right diseases. What you said is of course the smartest, best, and safest course of action, but that strategy goes with any living organism that may pose a threat to you. I’m not talking about survival and logical choices, I’m just talking exclusively about combat with scary creatures like these should they exist with realistic abilities and limitations. I’m thinking any man with bravery and a fit body (not fat or skinny, doesn’t have to be muscular just not unhealthy) could probably beat the shit out of half of these “scary female with wide eyes and a large mouth and long black hair” type creatures. Also, muscular man that’s big and strong doesn’t mean stupid. Often times in reality, in fact most of the time, big muscular men are very intelligent, and educated as they exist in the modern world with unlimited access to information (albeit they would have been just intelligent and not educated prior to the modern era). I never liked the brute stereotype. Take my upvote regardless for being clever.

A major figure in history? Interesting, are you inferring that’s he extremely intelligent and aware? Possibly even physically built well? Maybe charismatic in his own way, potentially even handsome had he not been ill? That statement honestly goes hard. Like your among few people in the world that knows about this one unfortunate soul who could have been a larger-than-life world changing person reduced to a sick man in a mental hospital. That’s like if Alexander the Great never became great and was instead born a hunchbacked man with a stutter, endless potential but limited by factors out of his control. That’s sad.

I always thought about how scary entities like this are probably physically weak and not too intelligent, just scary, and how if they were real I’d hope I’d be brave and reasonable enough to just straight up kill it instead of running away or panicking. Kinda like with spider or cockroaches, we humans tend to run away and panic when something looks weird even though we could easily kill it hundreds of times over.
