‘The Flash’ Fans Are Loving “King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd”

Tonight, The Flash gave fans something the one thing they have wanted pretty much since the beginning: a show down between King Shark and Gorilla Grodd and if the reaction on social media is any indication, The CW series did not disappoint.

In tonight’s aptly named “King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd” saw the two fan-favorite villains go head to head, but for a story promising a lot of epic action, there was a lot of heart as well as some incredible VFX bringing the characters to life.

That incredible VFX work, specifically when it comes to bringing Grodd to life, is something that Armen Kevorkian, the show’s VFX supervisor, told ComicBook.com back in 2015 has long presented challenges.

“[Grodd is] challenging, I’ll tell you for a number of reasons,” Kevorkian told ComicBook.com at the time. “Obviously , there’s a lot of eyes on something like that when you do it for television, you know, doing an animated gorilla, especially coming off a year when Planet of the Apes did what they did. So the challenge is more internal, where you’re nervous or like ‘How are we going to pull this off?” But again, I think with planning — and we’ve got an amazing team of talented artists — you sort of figure out as you go, what’s the best way to do this with the time and resources that you have.”

So, how did fans of The Flash feel about “King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd?” We’ll let the tweets speak for themselves — just be sure to note that there are spoilers in some of them!

The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
