With a crack, the enourmous power behind the punch knocked Grodd senseless. DK flung his head back in pain, but retaliated with a swift punch to Grodd's skull. Grodd, dashing across the jungle floor, decked DK in the face with a right hook. ![]() Standing up, Grodd held is head in pain and gasped for air. Grodd flew backwards from the sheer force of the attack, getting knocked through a row of palm trees. "What's wro-", Grodd's question was cut short by Donkey Kong punching him directly in the stomach. "Hello, simian brother! Join me!"ĭonkey Kong cocked his head to the side, confused. Grodd, got up to greet this ape, thinking he would be an ally. ![]() Donkey Kong slowly walked up to Grodd, scowling at him furiously. Grodd, shocked, looked up at the tree above him to see an ape-like creature barreling out of a tree-house. "These pitiful creatures should be grateful that they are lucky enough to be graced by my presence!" "This is a perfect base of operation!", Grodd thought to himself. Grodd sat upon his throne, enjoying his spoils of victory. Enraged at the idea that some foreign creature would have the gall to take over his island and eat his bananas, DK headed out to confront him. Even worse, the creature was eating bananas. To DK's horror, he looked around to see a beastly creature sitting upon a throne of skulls, being worshipped by innocent humans and animals alike. Two bloody stumps which used to be legs poked out. Peeking down, he saw what looked like a human being embedded in the tree trunk. Running to the window, Donkey Kong looked to see what could have caused such a ruckus. Stumbling off of the hammock, DK felt his floor shake from the sheer force of whatever hit his house. Swinging from side to side, Donkey Kong entered a deep slumber.ĭonkey Kong was awoken by a crash. +Fun change of pace +Sentient Gorilla chaos +Nice having Harry back -Jesse & Wally's melodramatic material 8.It was a beautiful day on Donkey Kong Island, the sun shining as bugs and birds flew through the air.ĭonkey Kong laid in a hammock inside of his treetop home, getting some rest after a long day banana hoarding. And yes, I do believe it will be at the hands of Caitlin herself. On a side note, purely by hearing Julian's claims to save Caitlin from becoming Killer Frost will certainly mean his death by season's end. But it'll sure as heck to be hard to beat that arena battle between Solovar (deep cut DC character) and Flash. Hopefully next week's conclusion will be even better. For now, the team believes saving Harry and keeping Grodd at Earth-2 would secure another news headline but if the after credits scene and title of the next episode are any indication, that's not to be. These two brought the best out of one another last season, but that wasn't the case tonight. I understand Jesse doesn't have any reason to be in a good mood with her father being kept by a massive gorilla, but a few more smiles would have been nice. Not exactly the way I hoped these two would spend their time without Barry in charge. Scratch that, they actually spent the entirety of the night moping around STAR Labs because they haven't been able to progress their relationship. Meanwhile in Central City, Jesse & Wally reunited and had fun taking down criminals and speeding across the city as a new power couple. I still think the best Grodd CG was used last season, but I think creating an entire city deserves some recognition as well. They tip toed around as much as possible by keeping Team Flash trapped in a cell for most of the episode and even using Grodd's telepathic abilities through Harry to keep the amount of CGI frames low. With the budget of a CW superhero show, I came in with relatively low expectations for what Gorilla City may look like, but I wasn't disappointed. And much like last year's trip, this episode has the benefit of being so drastically different from anything we've seen thus far on the show. Hopefully it doesn't go the way the two part Earth-2 episode did last year with the second half being a huge letdown. A mixture of Planet of the Apes and Indiana Jones, 'Attack on Gorilla City' was a nice first part of two. ![]() Who doesn't love these one-off episodes of Flash with Gorilla Grodd? We all know the show will never have the budget to pull off a full season of Grodd madness so I'm always going to cherish the episodes that we get of the sentient primate.
