First of all, Sam Raimi's Peter Parker was near perfect casting. He was a social outcast, ignored and often maligned. He was Peter Parker.

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, though ... Well, he was campy and goofy, everything from early Saturday morning cartoons.

On the contrary, Marx Webb's Peter Parker was too Twilight. He wasn't a social outcast, just not a popular kid. He was confident, stood up to bullies and interfered where Peter Parker from the 60s (pre spider bite) wouldn't have gotten involved.

I don't think any of us mind a more lighthearted Spider-Man after Marc Webb's version. Like Sam Raimi's version, Spider-Man is a daytime hero, swooping in and saving the day. Webb kept Spider-Man to nights and that's just not our favorite wall crawler.

In Civil War I want to see Captain America, with a bleeding Spider-Man in his arms, telling him he's the best of them all.

Because he is. He's Spider-Man.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
