A Minor FLASH Villain May Have A Much Larger Role Next Season
*Spoilers for The Flash are abound in this article...don't read it if you don't want to know*
The TCAs have provided a wealth of information as far as fans of The Flash are concerned. A couple days ago we learned that Kevin Smith will be directing an episode, and now Collider is saying a minor villain will likely be the primary antagonist of next season! Who? Gorilla Grodd...oddly enough. Yes I know he's one of Flash's primary villains in the comics, but in the terms of the show he's been in what...two episodes? Many are taking the statement made by executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, who stated he'd like to do multi-episode storyline with the villain...
“I would liken the Gorilla City thing to Ra’s al Ghul. You know, you hear about 'the man from Nanda Parbat' in [Arrow] Season 1, and 'the man who showed Malcolm the way,' and then you met Nyssa, then in Season 3 you met Ra’s. So, it’s a long-term thing.”
I'm not opposed to the idea, but I am wary at Grodd having so much screen time. The CGI on him is "alright" for television standards, but man... If you have him on screen for any extended amount of time it's really noticeable there's a computer character on screen. Maybe if they found a way to make it a little more animatronic or threw some extra money at the budget I'd be down.
