[S03E13] 'Attack on Gorilla City' Live Episode Discussion
Episode Info: When Jesse Quick informs the team that her father has been abducted, Barry, Caitlin, Cisco and Julian voyage to Earth-2 on a rescue mission to save Harry from Gorilla City. As they trek through the forest, Barry and the team are immediately captured and brought to Grodd. Grodd tells them he needs their help to stop Solovar, the leader of Gorilla City, as Solovar wants to invade Earth-1. Meanwhile, back on Earth-1, Jesse and Kid Flash hit the streets to stop a metahuman that can control gravity, with H.R. and Joe guiding them from S.T.A.R. Labs.

The range of character for him this episode was insane. He must have been loving that so much.
Who the fuck can pull off a gorilla communicating telepathically? That guy

Yes they are but he still had to play both sides of the character- the mentor in the wheelchair and the villain in the suit.

It's like this season was made for Tom Felton. With his character practically being a reformed Draco Malfoy. And then we get the philosopher's stone and Planet of the apes.
I don't mind it.

Honestly, the Flash writers kinda suck at choreographing fights. Like yeah he can run super fast and catch bullets and shit when he needs to but can't seem to not run right into a shield or see a avoid a dart.
Edit: I feel like they need to learn how to throw in some scrubs for Barry to whoop. Nobody wants Barry to be OP but having him feel under powered is way worse in my opinion.
