Sounds like they don't understand how powerful they are compared to their opponents. This is something that more knowledgeable players take for granted. So one way to look at it is to be happy that your players aren't metagaming.
If that's the case, you really haven't spelled anything out to them. Telling them that giants are walking by is meaningless unless they know what giants are. You can really spell it out. Tell them that the giant looks like it could crush the toughest character with just one blow. Tell them that there's no way anyone could engage in melee with the giant without the giant getting a shot off first. A shot that will probably kill the character. Give them real hints.
