Gorilla Grodd is a hyper-intelligent psychically-endowed gorilla that has the "Professor X" (Marvel) power of mind control. He got his powers after an alien spacecraft crashed into his African home. I kind of think (for the television series) that they're going to use the explosion at the super collider to give Grodd his powers. His psionic abilities allow him to place other beings under his mental control, project force beams, transmute matter, transfer his consciousness into other bodies, and absorb intelligence through the consumption of human brains! Flash basically has immunity to Grodd's psychic abilities because he moves so fast that his thoughts process Grodd's illusions in slow motion.
Grodd has potential to be a launching point to introduce Wonder Woman as there's this whole plot arc with Gorilla City (a super advanced civilization existing somewhere in Africa).
So what do you think? Will we see Gorilla Grodd in the new Flash series?
I saw that as well. Hope so!
ReplyDeleteI still need to see that first episode. Glad to know they're laying the foundation early. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure we'll see him. (Like I would know) but every story needs a freaky gorilla. :)
ReplyDeleteAck. I'm still getting caught up on season two of Arrow. I haven't seen the new Flash series yet. But you know they'll find a way of introducing that gorilla. Ha.
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like this would be a way to launch another series. If there's money to be made ...
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are no. I think it was an easter egg nods to the fan, but i don't think they're actually going to put a hyperintelligent ape on the show. I think it would risk turning off the new viewers, or fans of the show but who are unfamiliar with the source material
ReplyDeleteProbably at some point.
ReplyDeleteThe Flash is OK. Maybe a mad gorilla would make it better.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to this character so I can't offer an opinion.
ReplyDeleteProbably depends on how long the series runs. The more seasons = need for more characters.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah. Too risky.
ReplyDeleteThey've just announced the lead actor for THE FLASH movie too today, you have it at my bay today :) He is no Grant Gustin, though....
ReplyDeleteI hope so. You've gotten me all excited.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the success of the Planet of the Apes movies, a psychic gorilla in the superhero flicks and shows somehow now sounds inevitable. And kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteLots of comic series in video now.
ReplyDeleteDepends on the effects. Could easily be very cheesy to have a talking ape if it's a man in a costume.
