@WhoWouldWin13 Though Morgan got a pistol in the film, most of the time she had no real weapon, other than her hands and feet. That's all she needed; her strength, durability, speed and agility were all enhanced. She learned rapidly, becoming a master martial artist despite only being a few

@WhoWouldWin13 years old. Along with this, she had emergent precognition. Though not perfectly knowing the future, it can nevertheless enable her to fight even more effectively.

But does she have what it takes to defeat Goliath?

@WhoWouldWin13 According to the Masoretic text, Goliath was about 9 feet 9 inches tall. Such a brute could weigh around 800 pounds. Along with this, we have to remember that Goliath was a product of ancient near eastern upbringing, which was far harder than that of the modern age. Kids who

@WhoWouldWin13 lived at that time underwent more strenuous physical activity than modern kids, and as a result people of the ancient world were weight for weight stronger than those of the modern age. It all goes back to ontogeny. The harder your physical upbringing, the more physical activity

@WhoWouldWin13 you do when young, the more potential for physicality you'll have when you become an adult. This is one (if not the only) reason why Neanderthals were 2-3 times stronger than modern humans, and why some prehistoric homo sapiens had bones as thick as those of an Orangutans.

@WhoWouldWin13 Thus, Goliath is not going to be just a big, strong giant; he's going to be a big, VERY strong giant.

Along with this, he has heavy bronze armor, a javelin, thrusting spear and a sword, his gear a mixture of the Minoan and Aegean worlds (The philistines came from Crete,

@WhoWouldWin13 homeland of the Minoan civilization). Thus, Goliath is a walking tank.

But could Morgan stop this tank?

I could see Goliath trying to approach her with his shield and spear, underestimating her the way he underestimated David. Morgan would most likely run around him, leap up

@WhoWouldWin13 onto his back, and try to break his neck. However, though she's strong enough to do that with a deer...I'm not so sure that she could do that to a 800 pound giant whose underwent the rigors of ancient near eastern upbringing. Indeed, he could grab her, throw her down and spear

@WhoWouldWin13 her chest.

However, she might pick up a rock to use as a striking weapon before making the leap, ramming it hard into his temple. She might also try to find a sharp rock and then go for the jugular.

@WhoWouldWin13 Indeed, with her super strength, she could pick up a fairly large rock (one not to big to hold in her hand) and throw it at his face or forehead, potentially bringing the giant down.

This, combined with her speed, agility and emergent precog...leads me to conclude that...

@WhoWouldWin13 GOLIATH OF GATH SHOULDN'T HAVE LET MORGAN OUT!!!!!!
