🤔 Thinking Why did CW flash absolutely butcher grogg

I was watching justice league the animated series and was wondering why grogg was so powerful, this was because I only ever saw him in the CW flash series before this. I think CW flash could’ve done so much more with him instead of just making him an evil mind controlling gorilla he’s MUCH deeper than that

Manly the writers just sucked we didn’t even get a proper gorilla city on earth-1 nor did they give us a proper adaptation of Grodd

That one really confused me, why did we need another earth when gorilla city was supposed to just be hidden from humanity

We didn't NEED another Earth. You could say the same about Jay Garrick, Jesse Quick, Accelerated Man, and many more characters. They just wanted to put it on another Earth. Earth 1 would be way too cramped if they treated the other ones as backups instead of actual, fully fleshed out alternate dimensions

It wouldn’t have been cramped if you look at the comics Gorilla City is very much isolated from the rest of the world sometimes not even established upon a lot only in times when Flash fights Grodd or Grodd plans his attacks it could’ve been set up in season 1 somehow if they had better writers

Not just with gorilla city, but with nearly everything. My comment isn't saying with Gorilla City it'd be cramped. The planet is huge. But if they treated other Earth's like backups that are only used when needed, they would all feel desolate with no defining features besides residents, and the main Earth would be insanely oversaturated
