I think you were right the first time. This is not Bronze Age re-enactment, this is heroic fantasy. This is the same world where someone can throw a javelin, jump on top of it and ride it into battle. How is that possible?
He's a hero, that's how it is possible. We had a character who, after much hero question, was effected by the rune of stasis. After that he could not lose a Str check, at the worst he could tie. He became the 'immovable object'. He would definitely try to parry a whale, dodging wasn't his style.
