SPOILERS: See The Major DC Comics Villain Who Made His Live-Action Debut In THE FLASH Tonight
So, yeah, the only way to describe the final moments of this week's episode of The Flash is HOLY F***ING S**T, right? A DC Comics supervillain made their small screen debut in "The Fury of Firestorm", and you can see the fully CGI baddie's surprise appearance right here...
King Shark. King f***ing Shark. It's rare that anything is a surprise these days, so you have to hand it to The Flash for keeping this cameo a secret. Whether or not we're going to see more of this villain is hard to say (it seems unlikely), but this is sure to go down as one of the best moments in this series to date. Here's what producer Andrew Kreisberg had to say about the cameo (via CBR). "It was just fun for us. Obviously we can't afford to do an entire King Shark episode so the idea was that he was one of Zoom's minions and just the latest in the line. Which does mean that there is a King Shark on Earth-1." The CGI was particularly impressive, and well, I'm gonna stop talking so you can relive the Scarlet Speedster's clash with this villain in the player below. What did you think of tonight's episode? As always, weigh in with your thought in the usual place.
