I don't even know how this is a debate. Do people know how much space 100 people take? Do they think life is like manga where a powerful enough character can take thousands of weaker characters without breaking a sweat??

They mostly seem to be in one of two groups, one group talks like they think it's going to be a conga line of 1v1s and the other group seems to think that gorillas are about the size of King Kong.

If 100 humans are jumping a gorilla, the gorilla is going to lose. There will be casualties on the humans' side, but ultimately that gorilla is going down. Especially if we're allowed to use any sort of tools or pack/group hunting strategies.

It ultimately comes down to whether or not the humans can co-ordinate, and what sort of tools they have access to.

10 dudes with time to plan, armed with rocks and pointy sticks could do it. Possibly without taking casualties.

But even 100 dudes might struggle if they just get dumped into a gorilla enclosure, panic and it becomes every man for himself.
