As the title says, why in movies and TV shows giant organisms are always shown as if they move in slow motion?

Compare a human walking to an ant walking, in terms of how many steps we take per second.
We’re “giants” too, and there’s your proof that bigger systems just need longer to move. Yeah a human can cover more distance than an ant, because our steps are 1000s of times longer than theirs – but it’s still physically impossible for us to take steps as quickly as ants can. Changing direction that quickly just isn’t physically possible. Heavier limbs have more momentum and the G forces needed to whip your legs around as fast as ant legs would damage our tissues.
