It’s size and force.

Ice may seem weak, cause you’re used to seeing it from the fridge as ice cubes. But the bigger they are, the more power it has.

Imagine the movie Ted. You have a 2ft teddy bear that came to life. If you get in a fight, you’d easily win. Even if you were a 5 year old kid, you’d easily win. Now change that teddy bear to a 200ft sized teddy bear; you die in a heartbeat.

It’s the same reason why a 5’6″ man can workout as much as he wants, have super lean body fat full of muscles; and if they get in a fight with a 6’8″ heavy load person who’s never worked out, the bigger person would have a higher probability of winning.
