A polearm would be better use of wasted material for something that long and thick, not practical. If something has to be long, it still has to be some form of lightweight if the intention is purely slicing or cutting, poking even. Something like that, similar probably to the broadsword, mostly shoulders, and gravity, probably. But anything sharp enough won't need too much force behind it.. so, you do have alot of guys and figures that are likely exaggerated, and people that do reenactments that aren't exactly honest and accurate either, doing bare minimum, Hollywood stuff, and zero practicality or thought beyond tropes.
Not many people in this world could. That sword weighs something around 40-50 lbs. If you've ever lifted a barbell, you know that they're pretty heavy. Being able to swing one around even just a few times would be a feat of strength that more than %99.99 of the population couldn't do
