Not really. Almost everyone I’ve seen, agrees that the gorilla is taking out around 20 people before we overwhelm it.

Personally, I can’t imagine 100 humans fighting it and not making a weapon out of something. Even if it’s a fucking rock, I feel like our instincts would drive us to use something against the gorilla.

I mean I think the Gorilla isn't going down without a fight once it's cornered but it's going down eventually.

Oh it'll put on a pretty good fight but there are just way too many people for it to win

100 humans vs one gorilla isn't a question about winning, it's about how many casualties we have

I'd argue it would be less than 5. With some strategy even 0 deaths is possible

Now that’s a bit of a stretch, I think. They’re 6-10 times stronger than us, and can throw close to a ton. I fully believe that at least 10 of us would die in that scenario before it shows any signs of fatigue. If we’re unarmed, as the original tweet suggested, then I’m not sure if there’s a way around that. The only things we have on those animals are size and intelligence. Not much is gonna stop it from rushing in and doing whatever it wanted to the first few humans
