 Before the Verdict Size Calcs When it comes to series with large-scale feats of destruction and speed, a common talking point is just how large the relevant areas are. When such information isn't clearly presented, size calcs are used to figure things out. This allows a more accurate measure can be achieved...in-theory. In-practice, its a complete mess. Most creators don't bother to give locations specific sizes because it doesn't matter to the story they're trying to tell. Even when they do, said measurements are constantly changing due to the inherent flexibility of writing and especially illustration.
