Stupid giant's action showing opposition (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antagonistic

'opposition' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'stupid giant's action' is the wordplay.
'stupid' indicates anagramming the letters (in a stupid order).
'giants'+'action'='giantsaction'
'giantsaction' with letters rearranged gives 'ANTAGONISTIC'.

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for antagonistic that I've seen before include "Actively opposing - stag in action (anag)" , "Actively hostile" , "Ill-disposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
