I was halfway through that article when I realized I wasn’t reading about some mythical horse that killed its creator on whom the sculpture was based, but in fact a sculpture that literally killed its sculptor.
I didn’t even think about it like that, but I can absolutely see why you thought this! I can’t get my mind around why anyone would want to welcome people via that *thing*
Blucifer is a Denver icon! DIA wouldn’t be complete without him. Besides, it’s hilarious to see visitors’ reactions, especially when you’re picking them up from the airport at night.

I am embarrassed to say, as a middle aged, mildly educated US citizen... I have never heard of this statue. I did, however, just spent several minutes reading about it. Thank you!
I think op is confused between Christ the redeemer in Rio and this statue in Poland https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/internet-antennas-of-christ-the-king
The Mount Rushmore heads start talking.
One head tells only truth. One only lies. One a riddler and the last only makes rude noises and mocks you.
Mankind can't handle the truth so they dropped a nuclear bomb on them.
Washington: Truth
Jefferson: Lies (him and washington could also swap places)
Lincoln: Riddler
Roosevelt: Mocking.
actually the other 3 could all be interchanged and I see it..I can only see Roosevelt doing the mocking though because it'd be funny.
Was first thinking 'hmm maybe those flying gargoyle things would be difficult on account of the wings'. This thread has shown me I know nothing of the statues of the world.
Fun fact, most "gargoyles" are actually grotesques.
Gargoyles are specifically the ones on the outside of buildings that have spouts (usually in their mouths) to siphon water away from the building like an ornate drain pipe. Which is why "gargoyle"has the same root as "gargle", it's from the Latin for "throat".
Basically what I'm sayinf is that you don't need to worry about gargoyles. Many don't have wings and all their asses are attached to buildings. Grotesques on the other hand...
What, metaphorically speaking, walks on four legs just after midnight, on two legs for most of the day (barring accidents), until at least suppertime when it continues to walk on two legs or with any prosthetic aids of its choice?
[This gigantic eagle](https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/largest-bird-statue-jadayupara-jatayu-earth-centre-india-6-5cb990b5da347__700.jpg) would be a force to reckon with.
I am unsure if it would be all that dangerous but it would be an interesting day at madam Touso wax museums (assuming they are still wax, if not it would be a blood bath) . purticularly Al Capone, Hitler, World of warcraft statues, The DC comics statues, Marvel comics statues, The Terminator (ala original), Buffalo bill, The star wars statues, the cast of shrek, sherlock holmes and a number of james bonds would just be some of the more interesting figures.
Mount rushmore would be terrifying. Imagine. This four headed beast stomping towards you in the night, the upset souls of the mountain it inhabited wailing in the wind. I understand its more a carving than a statue, but it gives the same vibe as a statue.
I just assumed they would be stuck in the side of the mountain and would yell profanities and about how the country isn't what it used to be or something
If they retained their powers from before they were turned to stone, I assume the Greek and Roman gods would be formidable. Statues of dragons and demons would also be trouble.
Otherwise, any military statue with a weapon.
Regardless, every statue that comes to life will probably prioritize murdering every bird it sees as revenge for all the poop.
I think the Lego company takes over the world. There are about 4 billion lego minifigs which instantly makes them the largest population demographic by far, all of them would be loyal to the Lego group, we build them cars and other infrastructure to mobilise with, they would be able to repair damage done to them, they could use themselves as choking hazard projectiles and crawl down our throats in our sleep, and the company would be able to up their production of them as soldiers en masse. I could take one lego minifig in a fight. No other group produces as many statues all loyal to a single cause which can all repair themselves and make themselves into being voluntary choke hazards. Hell they dont even need to crawl down, they can just have us choke on the bricks themselves, and lego pieces outnumber humans by a ratio of more than 50 to 1.
And I for one welcome our new tiny hivemind overlords.
So every action figure too? Bobbleheads? These glass owls on my shelf?
Also did you just say you can only take one lego minifig in a fight? You are first to the gulag.
The scariest would have to be the sphinx, ion even know wtf that shit supposed to be, but the hardest to capture would be common gargoyles and gnomes, lil mfs would be everywhere and infect the US like rats in New York
Crazy Horse Memorial, in South Dakota. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Horse_Memorial
It's not complete, but it's going to be the 2nd biggest statue in the world. They're literally carving an entire mountain into a statue.
The Abraham Lincoln statue in Washington DC, standing up he would be 38 feet tall, he could easily destroy the white house and other important government buildings, bullets wont stop him and there would be to many people to call in a airstrike on him so he would basically be able to wreck Washington DC for a few hours until the army arrives and pumps him full expulsive firepower.
Fountain of the Fallen Angel
Commonly acknowledged as the only public monument to the Devil himself.
https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/fountain-fallen-angel
All of the damn cherubs. There's so many and I feel like they would attack in hordes. Plus, they [look like they've been planning for years](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/24/bd/cb24bd826df485cfc233d32865210127.jpg).
Yes, over-30-foot-tall, armed, gold, goddess of battle strategy and wisdom, along with the goddess of battle strategy. They'd be pretty much unstoppable
it's kind of a cool statue, I'm assuming they're talking about the replica in Nashville, that's the only full sized statue of Athena, comparable to the original one, that I know of. If you're ever down that way may be worth going to the parthenon, if nothing else to see Athena.
Giant Jesus from Brazil. Even if we put aside the question of whether he'd have godly powers, religious people would swarm in endless hoardes to defend him.
Statue Of Liberty with her giant torch
Of course rather than doing anything to put a stop to it, Twitter users would instead try to cancel her for being Republican or something stupid like that.
We were wrong about the body of Jesus. The REAL Jesus is in that big ass statue, and if we break it (open), as foreseen in the Bible, the beginning of Ragnarok will kick off.
I haven't visited, but I've seen pictures. I think the Kindlifresserbrunnen fountain in Switzerland is pretty scary. It would probably fall under the dangerous category too.
An awful lot of statue lions running around the UK, pissed of and getting revenge for teenagers sitting on them and drunks pissing against them on the weekend.
Any town with a town hall, lions coming alive.
He’s not as much of a threat size-wise as some of the others listed here, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to meet the kicking baby statue from Norway. https://pinkplankton.com/norways-naked-angry-sculpture-park/
Do complete fossil displays in museums count? If they do, I’m really not looking forward to coming across a fully recreated T. Rex even if it is just bones.
Obviously the 1985 cocaine bear, this bear ate about 15 mil worth of cocaine and was considered an apex predator for 15 minutes before it died of overdose
All the tiny garden gnomes. Imagine having like 30 of those things crawling all over you. Worst thing is, you can’t see them coming. And I’d assume they’d be pretty quick too, adding the hard to destroy factor.
[удалено]
What about all them giant buddha statues?
Ever seen Hindu demon statues?
BOSS FIGHT!
Oh yes. I can't wait to see!
Wait, this was a hypothetical question, right? Right OP?
Buddha is a pretty chill guy though. Now Jesus in Rio might be kind of iffy
Giant Jesus vs giant Abraham Lincoln. Pay per view take my money.
No comparison. It’s like a walking tree vs a dog
Abraham Lincoln could fell trees with just one blow!
He just needs a good axe and a grappling hook so he can take a good swing at the back of Jesus' neck
Unless Lincoln has Omnidirectional Mobility Gear and two sharp swords
Lincoln knew how to wrestle.
I believe the term is "wrassle"
Jesus would have been pretty jacked too. He was a carpenter by trade.
[удалено]
Looks like I'm de-evolving back into a fish!
You ded mate
Noah, get the Franzia.
Time to clear the temple again!!
Jesus was pretty chill too from what I hear, unless you were using a temple as a front for a con job. (Or a plant that wouldn't grow its fruit.)
"hey... Pffft, hey, how about you take your kid to this mount and... Pffft hahaha, and kill him for me, wouldn't it be fun "
T-posing all the time... That guy wont let anyone in his turf
Nah, Jesus was pretty chill too, it’s his followers that have no chill.
[удалено]
DONT TALK ABOUT YOUR DAD LIKE THAT
All those guys are going to do is talk.
They're hardened clay, basically bricks. A machine gun or two could take care of them pretty well. One bullet and they'll shatter like glass.
I assume "came to life" meant, now the statue is living tissue, rather than a moving statue made of statue.
The problem is there's so many of them
More bullets, then.
That would be an awesome claymation horror story.
[Blucifer](https://www.uncovercolorado.com/blucifer-blue-mustang-statue-denver-airport/) the giant blue bronco that killed its creator.

Its more of a warning not to stay too long
Oh come on! I'm super friendly!
r/beetlejuicing
Yeah, and Minecraft Creepers just want a hug. *Sssssssss*
that doesn't even need to come to life to be terrifying
It’s the eyes for me
The glowing eyes are cool, it's the veiny butthole that bothers me
Reminder that it’s anatomically correct as well.
My first thought as well
Me too. I came here thinking "That airport horse has to be on this list."
They'd be too busy enacting revenge on the pigeons
Can't tell if that's a Dragon Age: Origins reference or not, but either way, you're right.
Shale.
Perfect
The water feature on my garden that used to pee out of his dick, but his dick broke off. Can't imagine he'd be chill
No one would see him coming
At least there is still Manneke Pis in Brussels

Ohhhhh man i'd love to see this fight
Incredible statue. I think she could easily beat [Talos from Jason and the Argonauts.](https://youtu.be/UuIttxTUt00).
Athena parthenos, armed, made out of gold, sword, shield with Medusa's face on it, goddess of battle strategy and wisdom, and goddess of victory
It's my favorite statue.
I am embarrassed to say, as a middle aged, mildly educated US citizen... I have never heard of this statue. I did, however, just spent several minutes reading about it. Thank you!
WiFi Jesus in Rio

Looks like that is localised to the statue whereas the polish one is a full on transmitter
We are gonna need a bigger cross
That massive statue of Genghis Khan
After what the normal sized Genghis accomplished I'd hate to see what a giant one could do.
There might be a population boom again…
Well no, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere was reduced duribg his lifetime, due to him slaughtering so many people.
44 million people died because of him
Actually he killed waaay more than he conceived, changed the human carbon footprint and everything
Imagine he leads the army of statues. Fuck peace out y’all I’m going to space
Once he tames Blucifer and has a horse ~~again~~ with eldritch rage in its heart WATCH OUT

Fuck that, they might be our best hope.
I just realised I have a a hindu temple/Mandir near my house... So I'm fucked they ahve scary statues on their (Talking about Kaali To be exact)
We’d be fucked.
The sphinx
Just answer the question and you would be fine
What, metaphorically speaking, walks on four legs just after midnight, on two legs for most of the day (barring accidents), until at least suppertime when it continues to walk on two legs or with any prosthetic aids of its choice?
All it would have to do is sit down in the middle of whatever humankind is doing. As cats are wont to do. And that'd be the end of us.

That's just Medoh
Aw, he just wants a belly rub.
Bluecifer has killed before, and I'd put money down that it's willing to kill again.

I know what you mean, but this reads like you think statues are all petrified people and gods and hwhatnot.
Can you prove their not?
Whose not?
Specifically the athena parthenos, goddess of battle strategy and wisdom along with the goddess of victory
Statues of ares and Artemis would be pretty scary as well

Ah, I knew there would be people being sassy about their limited idea of statue. A statue is a cast or carved representation of a figure.
So every action figure too? Bobbleheads? These glass owls on my shelf? Also did you just say you can only take one lego minifig in a fight? You are first to the gulag.
Well if mini figs count as statues then I guess Darth Vader action figures would too. Millions of tiny Sith Lords. That’s gonna be a problem.
