The Flash season 5 episode 15 promo: King Shark & Gorilla Grodd
However, when this episode does air, all signs point towards it being very much worthy of your time. After all, you’re getting the return of two of the show’s most iconic CGI villains! In other words, this is the episode that is spending the majority of this season’s budget. This show’s always done a great job with some of their effects, though the drawback to this is simply that in doing so, they’re only able to share so much of these characters at the same time.
In one corner, you’ve got Gorilla Grodd. In another, you’ve got King Shark. There’s a part of us that wants to see these characters fight each other, almost in an iconic Godzilla vs. King Kong sort of way. There’s also, of course, the oh-so appealing idea of the two of them working in tandem to stop The Flash. They are two iconic villains, after all, and in theory Grodd gets more dangerous just about every time we see him.
Given how important this character is to the world of the comic-book source material, we definitely do think that The Flash would love to feature Grodd more than they do. As we’ve pointed out, though, they are mostly limited by the fact that there is really only so much that the character can be in the spotlight. Even in the episodes that he’s a part of, generating the character is so expensive that we only end up seeing him for a short period of time; the rest of it is mostly buildup.
While we’re sure that there are people out there who would rather have a chance to see the show continue on a more traditional story path given that there are only so many episodes left this season, we’re down for a diversion here and there — especially when said diversion involves Grodd. After all, this is not the sort of character who you end up running into on a regular basis. You can put King Shark right up there, as well, even if he doesn’t have as many powers beyond just being a giant awesome shark-man.
