* Not necessarily - based on the Giant's actions in the film, any species that attacked a Giant would only have to realize their error and cease attacking to prevent large scale destruction. While this might have been as a result of the damage the Giant took when he arrived on Earth, it's just as possible this was intended behavior - possibly to the point that the "dent" in the Giant's head was actually an intentional design choice, to make the Giant appear more relatable/harmless. If it ''is'' intended behavior, then the Giants would be specifically intended to wipe out species too aggressive and bloodthirsty to be convinced to accept any form of peace, even if it meant their total destruction. At which point, it's entirely feasible that humanity passed by simple virtue of the Giant's arrival and eventual disabling being effectively just a blip on their species' history.

* 1)It could easily be that only one planet was shown destroyed simply because this particular giant was fresh off the product line before that planet. 2)It could easily be that the planet shown needed multiple giants to take down because they were more advanced. A modern day country that wants to conquer another will need many many tanks, but if they want to conquer a primitive spears-and-loincloths tribe in the rainforest then they might not even need one tank.

The newly animated Nightmare sequence has some stuff that would not be consistent if the Giant was simply sent as a destroyer; Only a single planet was shown to be destroyed, rather than several, which implied that the Giant only did this once. It's also shown that to destroy a planet, a whole army of Giants were present but only he showed up to Earth. There's no reason to assume that Earth would require any less troops (much less only one member of an entire army) to take out than the last one, so the Giant's appearance must be by accident.

[[WMG: The Giant and his Lineage were a WMD gone horribly right.]]
Going off two of the above theories that the Giant was never meant to be sent to Earth and that the aliens who created them are gone, it could possibly mean that the Giant was never meant to be a galactic conqueror, but instead the end result of an Alien Arms Race. Their defensive nature might have been used by the Aliens as sentinels against invasion (designed in such a way that no one could control them, only trip their failsafe and be obliterated if they're aggressive), but for whatever reason they saw their own masters as aggressors (possibly because they might have felt they were being enslaved or their Alien masters were forced to use other weapons, and the giants automatically assumed them to be hostile), engaged their defensive protocols and wiped out their own creators, culminating in destroying their planet and sending the legions of giants adrift through space.

[[WMG: The Giant Was Never Meant to Be Here]]
Based on the story board pieces the giant was part of an army of similar giants that was involved in some serious interplanetary warfare. The species being fought against chose to detonate the planet instead of let it be captured resulting in most of the giants comrades being destroyed and him tossed out into space on a random tangent. After drifting for centuries he picked up a radio signal that indicated the presence of intelligent life and adjusted course to land on earth for repairs and to try to make contact with his home planet.
Thus eating tons of metals, for both repair material and fuels.
His violent reaction was a purely automated form of self defense that kicked into overdrive when he precived civilians being threatened by a hostile invasion. The army looked different and was only just arriving in Maine.
Without his homeworld or commanders to tell him otherwise he made logical but incorrect deductions about the situation.

Going off the theory that the Giant was not intended to land on Earth, it is likely that he was drifting through space for an incredibly long time. From the look of things, the Giant was traveling at a star's escape velocity, (Say, between 1 to 10 times the speed of the Voyager Probe). The Giant had to be moving slow enough to survive re-entry with Earth, so relativistic speeds are unlikely. Going off how far away the sun's closest relative is, the giant would have been drifting for about 80,000 years at Voyager-speed. If the giant was from a further star, he could have been drifting for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. It is not known what the giant is powered from, but his body could probably remain intact. A human device like the voyager probe is theorized to remain structurally intact for almost a billion years, providing it doesn't smash into anything. Chances are the Giant is a little more robust than a dinky human probe.

I would imagine Annie and Dean having a kid about three or four years after the ending of the movie, so when Hogarth's about thirteen or fourteen years old. I would imagine that the baby Annie has with Dean ends up being a girl who looks pretty much identical to Annie, with the exception of having Dean's hair and eye color, as well inheriting his love of art. I would also imagine Hogarth's half-sister as being intelligent and mature for her age like Hogarth is, and the two of them being very close, despite the big age difference.

From the look of things, the Giant was traveling at a star's escape velocity, (Say, between 1 to 10 times the speed of the Voyager Probe). The Giant had to be moving slow enough to survive re-entry with Earth, so relativistic speeds are unlikely. Going off how far away the sun's closest relative is, the giant would have been drifting for about 80,000 years at voyager-speed. If the giant was from a further star, he could have been drifting for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. It is not known what the giant is powered from, but his body could probably remain intact. A human device like the voyager probe is theorized to remain intact for almost a billion years, considering it doesn't smash into anything. Chances are the Giant is a little more robust than a dinky human probe.

[[WMG: The Alien Civilization that created the Giant is long gone.]]
Going off the theory that the Giant was not intended to land on Earth, it is likely that he was drifting through space for an incredibly long time. From the look of things, the Giant was traveling at a star's escape velocity, (Say, between 1 to 10 times the speed of the Voyager Probe). The Giant had to be moving slow enough to survive re-entry with Earth, so relativistic speeds are unlikely.

[[WMG: The Giant Was Never Meant To Destroy]]
The Theory: The Iron Giant was never meant to destroy earth.
Explanation: In the film, we are lead to believe that the giant was sent to earth to destroy everyone on it. Now, from a deleted scene, we know that the giant was created by aliens and that there are many more just like him. But what if he wasn't meant to destroy? Supposedly, the bump on his head prevented him from remembering his primary objective, which was to destroy. But what if his primary objective was something completely different? Like, say, to make contact with humans? The bump on his head did not prevent him from remembering his objective, but it gave him a speech impediment. That is why he can speak English, but he has to take time to learn it. Before he bumped his head, he already knew how to speak English, but the bump made it difficult. That is why, at the end of the movie, when the bump is fixed, he seems to be able to communicate much better, “You stay, I go. No following.” It is the first and only intelligible saying the giant makes in that movie. The guns built in to the giant were only a defense mechanism. He was not programmed to use them unless he was being attacked. The aliens just wanted peace, and the humans destroyed every chance of that.

His colleagues at the NSA may have found him just as annoying and obtrusive as Hogarth does and sent him on a SnipeHunt just to keep him out of the office.

The Giant is one of several super-weapons being used in some kind of galactic alien war. None of those sides wanted anything to do with Earth. Somehow, one of the giants was knocked off-coarse and crashed on Earth.
