We love you, spider!They Might Be Giants, "Spider"
... so it has spider in the lyrics. Doesn't have anything to do with the trope.
fleb: Yeah, doesn't have much to do with giant spiders. It must've been re-added, so I cut it again.
KL Symph: Hmm, the list of stuff for the System Shock and Thief spiders is probably too long. If anybody wants to cut it, please do.
—- Majin Gojira: On the page image, I have to say...is that even a spider at all? Sure, it's big, but aside from having multiple segmented legs, that's no where near being a spider. I understand it's there to keep aracnophobes from flipping out—which makes me wonder why an aracnophobe would click on a link to a trope entitled "Giant Spider" to begin wtih.
Short version: That image sucks, someone needs to find a better one because that sure as hell ain't a spider by any stretch of the definition.
lockhead: We could put up one of the giant Funnelwebs from Resident Evil, but owh rightly pulled the image.
Majin Gojira: I like the 8 Legged Freaks image now up there. Those are at least proper arachnids.
