2) Any Which Way You Can
This week, The Flash concluded the two-part “Gorilla City” arc with “Attack on Central City.” And while it wasn’t a bad episode by any stretch of the imagination, it just didn’t have that event feel that last week’s offering did, you know what I mean?
What they did get right was creating an episode that was strong on character development and interactions. Not only were Earth-2 Harry’s encounters with Earth-19 H.R. pure hilarity, but major headway was made between Wally and Jesse, in addition to Barry proposing to Iris in the cliffhanger.
As for the gorillas, well, it was cool, but I suspect that much of the visual effects budget was blown during last week’s comics-to-screen tour de force. Grodd’s full scale invasion of Central City came after three quarter hours of buildup and was capped off by five superheroes – Flash, Kid Flash, Jesse Quick, Vibe and Gypsy – coming together in order to watch Solovar take down his nemesis in a battle marred by choppy animation. Now that we’ve done the Gorilla City thing, let’s put the idea to bed.
