the difference between an adult man and a child is also significantly larger than an adult human and a gorilla
A silverback weighs 450lbs
An adult human man weighs 200lbs
I don’t think the comparison to a child is that bad. The muscle strength estimate is incomparable too, the general estimate for how much a Silverback can bench is 1800lbs. They’re THAT fucking strong. The average bench for a man is like 160-210lbs.
Human team has to be willing to sacrifice members because the first 5 people that get close are 110% dead. You need coordinated soldiers that are willing to die to beat this thing collectively as a group, not average untrained people who all want to survive individually.
this debate would be a lot more fun after 2 beers. pretend i’m sitting next to two empty pint glasses here

fuckin train me a gorilla that can bench press a motorcycle and prove it then

I’m surprised no zoos have put a rudimentary pulldown machine in with them. Eventually a gorilla’s gonna use the pulldown mechanism and you’d get an idea of what they can pull from that. Can’t find video though.
There’s a few videos of them climbing and flipping their body around like it’s nothing though, and that’s 450lbs of weight they just carry and flip around from branch to branch on a single arm like nothing. https://youtu.be/JaZ6-2X406k
The chimpanzee equivalent of a middle aged woman was able to rip a human’s entire face from their head. A gorilla could probably rip a human skull from their head if it wanted to.
I don’t see the humans winning unless they all lock arms and charge the gorilla at once as a human wave or can use weapons.
The best argument I’ve seen is that after a few people get dismembered the other humans can start using limbs as weapons. I honestly think it’s their best chance.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
