Never assume because a bloke is bigger than an ox's arse that he ain't gonna sneak up on you and make your head do a little lovely dance on his knuckles.
You'd be surprised how stealthy something that's seven feet tall at the shoulder and weighs a literal ton can be when it puts its mind to it.

“Orc rogue is terrible at stealth” is a classic gag, but I’ve always preferred taking it to the opposite extreme, because turning around and suddenly there’s this absolutely enormous fucker all up in your personal space with no clear indication of how they managed to approach undetected or how long they’ve been standing there will never stop being funny.

One of my favourite things about the Hulk is that so much of the character’s humour hinges on his inexplicable ability to sneak up on people in spite of being nine feet tall and bright green. Supervillains will be doing their thing, and then suddenly there’s a pissed off Jolly Green Giant just looming directly behind them, and how he got there in the first place is never addressed.

Producer: How did the T-Rex show up unnoticed?
Screenwriter: Well, it's gonna be like a ninja in this scene.
Producer: Not in earlier scenes?
Screenwriter: No, in earlier scenes its footsteps caused mini-earthquakes.
Producer: Oh, well, that's cool. I guess the T-Rex has kind of a character arc?
Screenwriter: Yeah, he learned how to be a big old sneaky lizard.
