I'm here for the Thorin. He's in a bit of a mood most of the time: grumpy and proud but with great hair. His hatred of the elves just adds to the drama.

Toph Beifong's height is never officially confirmed in 'Avatar: The Last Airbender.' However, she appears to be shorter than her peers, leading fans to speculate she around 5 feet tall.

I believe there is a lot of confusion between the book and show canon. In the books, Grey Rohan is never given a height. However in the show, Grey Rohan is literally Jason Momoa, who is 6'4". So this would be the answer to the question in terms of show canon. For book canon however, we have to interpret the descriptions. 'Tower above other men' suggests he is well over 6 feet tall. And since Westeros and Essos are supposed to be below the average height of modern times, then 6'4" would indeed be a giant. So in both cases, his height in the show is consistent with the books. Therefore whether you are a book reader or a show watcher, you can confidently imagine Grey Rohan to be 6'4".

Thorin Oakenshield’s change from the beginning of the story to the end is a great example of how power can corrupt. The leader of the group of dwarves at the beginning is very brave, principled and loyal to his friends. However, once the group of dwarves have reclaimed Erebor and there is so much treasure there, all of Thorin’s flaws are magnified. The gold does not change him to worse, but it does bring out the worst in him. There is a great scene where Thorin walks through a lot of gold and he trails his fingers through it like it is a lover. That is a really scary scene and you can see where Thorin’s resolve to regain Erebor was going to change to and that is to an obsession with gold. Smaug is a hoarder as well and he is malice personified, but Thorin’s downfall is so much more tragic because it is human. When Thorin dies his last words are of regret for having wasted his second chance for friendship.

The big unsolved mystery of the fitness corner of YouTube (along with other great mysteries like What’s in Greg Doucette’s secret sauce? and Is Noel Deyzel a robot?) can remain a mystery for all eternity and we’d never be wiser for it.

One of the fun little details I thought up for the article is Lara Croft’s height. In the original games she was 5’9″, a very athletic, almost cartoonish, tall and large breasted heroine, made up of many large polygonal triangles that formed her legs in particular. The 2013 reboot of the games started Lara off at around 5’6″, making her movements feel a lot more grounded. The films have her at varying heights. Angelina Jolie’s Lara was closer to the classic Croft height, while Alicia Vikander played her as somewhat petite. While fans of the character have debated over whether Lara should be taller to better fit her ‘indomitable explorer’ type, or shorter and more of an underdog now that she’s been rebooted, I’m just pleased that in both cases her character manages to shine regardless of the decision they’ve made with her physicality, whether that means her leaping up and running off in the distance or crawling through the mud, inches from a deadly enemies’ face.

My guess would be that he’s about average height for his age, so I could look up the median height for a teenage boy in the US and that would give me a rough idea. However, the range of height for any individual of a given age is huge, so it’s not possible to be more specific than that. He doesn’t look particularly tall or short in the group photos I’ve seen of him. As for the other boy in the video, I have no idea. Perhaps they’ll make a ‘getting to know us’ style video with fun facts about themselves at some point, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. They’ve built their brand on the content they produce, which is much healthier than if they were to build their brand on personal trivia about themselves.

Try tweeting the author or artist of the piece you’re discussing. They might respond to a random and polite question. I wouldn’t get my hopes up but it’s worth a shot. Framing your query as a curiosity about the artist’s design process rather than a request for information that they’ve not provided can elicit a thoughtful response. For example: ‘Love your work! Was wondering if you had a specific height in mind for Notti Osama or is that more a feeling that you were after?’ If they do respond, be sure to let us know.

For those that don’t know, Vin Diesel is 6 feet tall. I’m assuming that’s how they’d measure up Dominic Toretto too. How tall he is doesn’t really matter. The guy must be able to bench press a refrigerator whilst delivering the speech about family. The Fast & Furious films are all about spectacle. That’s why Dom is how he is – a force of nature that you wouldn’t measure in centimeters. A tornado isn’t a thing that you’d measure in centimeters.

I have always wondered whether King had some larger-than-life, almost mythical figure in mind for Maitland, someone like a John Henry-sized, blue-collar giant who is kind and has great physical strength. Maitland is tall, for one thing, and that height along with the rest of his physical appearance makes him a kind of folk-lore figure, a sort of Everyman who is being put through some kind of extraordinary test in this somewhat extraordinary place. In grounding such a figure in the brutal reality of the electric chair, King locates the mythic tale of Maitland within the particularly American genre of the tall tale, and that is where the real power of the story resides. In other words, the fact that Maitland is tall is not just descriptive, it’s also rather generic, a kind of signals to the reader that the story we’re reading is a moral fable of sorts, in addition to a grim and powerful prison story.
