Giant is something incredible, you can't imagine how the hell it can exist on earth. Huge is something big big big but not so wonderful (am I wrong?)

Re: Ask.Me@vozforums.com

giant:
1. (in folklore) a being with human form but superhuman size, strength, etc.
2. a person or thing of unusually great size, power, importance, etc.; major figure; legend: a giant in her field; an intellectual giant.
6. unusually large, great, or strong; gigantic; huge.
7. greater or more eminent than others.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/giant

huge:
1. extraordinarily large in bulk, quantity, or extent: a huge ship; a huge portion of ice cream.
2. of unbounded extent, scope, or character; limitless: the huge genius of Mozart.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/huge

So I'm so confused which has the stronger sense between 2 words "extraordinary" and "unusually"
But I still stand on my idea...
