Now... Giant statues to an IDEA... That's something. Space travel, emancipation, justice, healing the sick, physical competition, prayer, etc...
Isn't strength an idea? How do you make a statue for that without looking narcissistic? Serious question.

I think great nations should make great things. Nothing wrong with displaying wealth and prosperity

I think you americans certainly deserve one and those AI pictures you posted are a perfect fit. Roman style statues with modern day rifle.

Just gotta up the size significantly and you are done. It would be a disappointment if the US didn't build the most gigantic statue ever. Maybe even an actual Trump Statue in Los Angeles.

I agree, no sarcasm. More monumental structures and statues should be erected in the United States. I was speaking with an associate of mine from India and he was telling me about this gigantic structure they recently completed. Now the tallest statue in the world. In India! Why not the United States?

Not so sure it's a lady foremost and it's architectural choices resembles a certain fallen angel but nevertheless it's tied with the loss of not only statues but also mind blowing - doesn't belong here feel - building's that we're and still are found all over the world that have been destroyed.
Look at the 1910/20 "fires" of major cities in the US alone) Ykwyk.



It's foundation is a geometrical precice construct ("Star Ford") as well.

Ofcourse we have the "offical" reasons and MASSIVE destructions and rebuilding in 1/2 years if you're trapped in the closed reasoning academic route but hey. Times flies and so does our collective memory

(Sorry for off topic perhaps boss)

This bad boy (massive statue to Crazy Horse) will be 170 meters high when(ever) it's done.

and regardless of how you feel about the figure depicted, stuff like this is super cool and I wish we did more of it (Stone Mountain in Georgia)

I'd rather build the first permanent bases on the Moon and Mars with a big American flag out in their front yards. 🌭
 
We got sports statues everywhere. But they are only 10-15ft tall.

Personally I would prefer large statues that were actually robots. And set on a sleep timer for hundreds of years. Then one day in the future, they start moving. Would be dope. Kinda disappointed the mental midgets who made the old statues didn’t think of that.

How about a fully automated Gundam Statue

This is a nice watch for you and other's as well hopefully. Mandatory imho.



Nvm his experienced assumptions; it just doesn't add up.

In regards to your OP though isn't there a requirement/willing and hence deeply resonating reason for a statue in a certain form to be made that represents certain reasons/values/etc and thus give meaning to what it represents for it to be made? Besides (sub) consciously propaganda/nationalisme reasons?

Sans a huge EVA# Unit ofc

The historical connotations and links to failed empires is why I recommend that future colossal statues shall be made in the female form. No one can take the wrong impression or use them as propaganda pieces.
We have a winner.

Nevada should built the fall out new vegas monument so in case a real fallout the game would be historically accurate
