![]() ![]() And even then, for a fair amount of scenes, Grodd speaks through Cisco or Wells. It's not that the gorillas aren't shown, it's that we get shown just a couple of sweeping views of the city, or the huge coliseum, but the main brunt of the action and closeups are saved for just Grodd and Solovar. The CG of a high-budget show like Game of Thrones tend to depict battle scenes and dragons very strategically, how would the Flash fare? Last two seasons only managed to have one entirely-CG character like Grodd himself or King Shark, and even this season's Savitar relies on being invisible to non-speedsters and reusing some animation between episodes. I knew Gorilla City was coming after last episode's teaser, but I didn't realize how much of it will be shown. Not bad from a show that's so scared of DC's more wild characters that they're even too afraid to adapt Firefly and re-imagines him as this wussy angry arsonist. Well, this episode we've got Flash, Vibe, Killer Frost and Draco Malfoy Indiana Jones Doctor Alchemy going off to an alternate-Earth Gorilla City to fight Gorilla Grodd, ending with a gladiatorial death-match between Flash and King Solovar. Without repeating everything I said in that review, know that throughout this episode I was still being a huge fanboy going "ohmygod Gorilla Grodd is on the teevee again!"Īnd honestly, compare the latest few episodes to the early days of Arrow's first season, where the showmakers are even too chickenshit to call their vigilante "Green Arrow" because it's not mature or badass enough. ![]() Like, go back and read my review on the episode of Grodd's debut. But you know what? Fuck you! Like, seriously. Yes, when it comes down to it, this episode probably is a merely slightly-more-impressive-visually version of your standard procedural fare. It's predictable, yes? It's your basic action movie fair, no? The CGI's conspicuous at some parts, ain't it? It doesn't progress the plot, yeah? I don't care. See, for all the problems that I bitch about Flash ever since we had all the inconsistent plotlines and repetitive nonsense in season two, episodes like this week's "Attack on Gorilla City" is why I watch and love this show. "I am a gorilla." never sounded so badass. ![]()
