1. Having muscles is not a trope, that's the human condition. Its the details about muscles that make a story. [[HardGay Muscles for manliness]] is a trope. [[AmazonianBeauty Muscles for sex appeal is a trope.]] [[MusclesAreMeaningless Doing things that require them without them is a trope.]] Having them for no good reason, grossly overstating their importance or tacking them on for fear of not being taken seriously are also tropes. [[NonindicativeName But that's not the message one gets from the title is it?]]

2. The old title referred to pectoral muscles, the description compares the use of different muscle groups and says TheGiant will have a similar portrayal even when mostly fat. It wasn't a good title either, but it was better at getting its point across.

3. The fact that the page started as a rant on TheGiant, a trope mostly about height, means height was taken into consideration, but the topic expanded to mass in general. It made sense to broaden the subject anyway. Wrestling/{{N|ew Japan Pro Wrestling}}JPW[==]Wrestling/{{A|ll Japan Pro Wrestling}}JPW ect refusing to train Wrestling/JustinThunderLiger for being too short? Wrestling/BryanDanielson joking about not getting pushed in Japan because "they like big Americans too."? Art Barr being the most important member of [[Wrestling/{{AAA}} Los Gringos Locos]]? The exact same mentality as drawing a taller superhero. The extant and proposed pages discuss the exact same storytelling device. Just because an extant page is bad doesn't mean it needs duplicates, especially not [[TheSameButMoreSpecific narrower]] duplicates. It foremost needs attention.

That's what I think.
