When Grodd showed up in Circe’s vision in Creature Commandos I was excited that Gunn might be positioning him as a major villain in his future plans for the DCU.
Instead he’s the focus of a comedy mockumentary.
The People Vs Gorilla Grodd, the new show from DC Studios, is coming to HBO Max. Our first foray into the true crime genre. From the creators of American Vandal, starring Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Jimmy Tatro as Gorilla Grodd, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, & Wendell Pierce as Perry White. Additional cast includes Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Dan Perrault & Arian Moayed. Along with Lanterns, this was one of the shows Peter & I pitched to WBD before we came on board. With Tony and Dan at the helm, it's something truly special.
@WCerrate2662 Not wanting my favorite heroes to fuck elderly married grandmas is pearl clutching now? If so I’d better grab those pearls someone splurted around your neck quick!
@TheDarkTyrant96@CharlotteR4321 With the right writing you can achieve anything. My point is it seemed like CC was setting up Grodd as a major villain, instead next we see him is as the focus of a comedic mockumentary.
@CharlotteR4321 My judgement comes from the tone of Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, and Superman. I doubt a Jimmy Olsen show is going to be overly serious based on his portrayal in Superman.
@CharlotteR4321 That’s not comparable, since this is going to be a comedic leaning series. I chose Happy cause he’s closest to the comic relief vibe in the MCU as Jimmy is in the DCU.
And Thanos cause how Grodd was used in Creature Commandos appeared to be an all heroes threat.
@DT2ComicsChat I’ve seen so many first episodes that immediately sold me on a show. This “It’s only episode 1 you can’t judge it yet” argument is nonsense.
@CharlotteR4321 Do you think Thanos would have been as big of a threat for the MCU if he’d starred in a comedy mockumentary series hosted by Happy Hogun before Infinity War?
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II says WONDER MAN Season 2 was canceled due to low viewership numbers:
"I was told that it had something to do with the viewership numbers. I wasn’t told what those numbers were..."
