Whenever The Flash does a Grodd write up , it pulls out all the catch — and last nighttime ’s episode , the scratch of a two - part Gorilla City spectacular , was no exception . I still ca n’t believe that the thing that makes The Flash ramp into overdrive is n’t the speedforce , it ’s a giant telepathic evil gorilla .
“ Attack on Gorilla City ” finally run into the return of Grodd , who was throw into a society of supersmart gorillaslast time of year , and now wants the Flash ’s aid in taking it over . It sounds utterly absurd , but somehow — some slightly dodgy greensceen core by — The Flash managed to pluck off the superlative of what has to be its ultimate committal to the insanity of comical books . We did n’t just get Grodd , we flummox Gorilla City , we got Grodd ’s archnemesis Solovar , and all of it was fantastic .
It was exonerated that a lot of frame for the episode was kept as stranded and as small plate as potential — Barry , Caitlin , Cisco , the Earth-2 Wells and Julian spend the huge majority of their time in Gorilla City in Grodd ’s dungeons — so the show could really go all out for its biggest here and now : Barry being forced to fight Solovar in a battle to the expiry inside a gargantuan arena packed with holler Gorilla gorilla .
I require Barry to open up up one of those holes in blank space and time he ’s so fond of so I can go back to 2012 and tell the me catch Arrow ’s premiere that one day , all of this will lead to a live - action adaptation of the Flash focal ratio - punch a giant gorilla in the catgut in slo - mo . I ’m pretty certain past - me ’s head would explode .
There was so much to love in this episode — specially as it was so separated by from most of the time of year ’s ongoing concerns about Iris ’ fate and Savitar , which has rarely materialize since The Flash ’s midseason issue — that the only affair that could possibly top it is that we ’re getting a gorilla intrusion of Central City next week , as Grodd habituate Gypsy ’s dimension - hopping ability to open a gateway for him and his giant ground forces of Gorilla gorilla to Central City .
give thanks Grodd indeed .
