One of my favourite things I'm looking forward to from Kingdom. We get to travel and see these places with Noa as I'm sure he's discovering a lot for the first time too.
Full interviews (Contains spoilers) I only watched certain bits.
does this mean king proximus and Noa and the rest of them have vastly higher intelligence than any other ape we've seen in the new trilogy?
The cornelius we see in the most recent movies has no relation to the cornelius in the old films, correct?
There no way Noa is going to fight this guy, look at the size of him 😭
Meet Luca The Great Gorilla. After the scientists get his DNA done, Luca decided to join The Guardians Of The Millennium Island. Now, he's arriving at Zootopia University to become a teacher and learn about Movies and TV Shows from Hollywood.
Hi ape fans, yesterday i watched Dawn of the Planet of the apes with my little cousins since i wanted to introduce them to the series, i thought they weren't going to like it at first, but soon they loved the movie they said its their 2nd favorite Movie in all time which shocked me since they just saw it.
They said they want to watch Dawn/War which i'm iffy on since its more mature and Dark so i'll wait and decide if its good for them to watch it.
Rise, is the most "PG" Out of the CE trilogy theres nothing Sexual, Minor Swear Words and its not really scary, and they were soo upset when Buck died
Anyway i'm happy they liked it and there will always be a new generation of ape fans to come :)
I understand it’s a movie and not to real life but I find it a bit uncanny how human looking Caesars face and face expressions are given that he’s a chimp. I don’t see any of the other apes in the movies with that human like of a face. Maybe it’s because they want to make him distinct looking since he’s the main character.
Does anyone like bape clothing because of your love for the movies?
I can’t pull off a lot of the stuff, but I do own some socks, keychain and a bag. Also a clock
I know it’s more of a streetwear thing for people who want the “brand” but it’s hard to hate that damn logo.
We can find multiple orangutans in the backgrounds of scenes, but do you wish they were in more active or combat scenes than just the bridge battle?
I have seen the Orginal Planet of the apes but havent seen any of the new ones. Is this one a prequel or should I watch sum before it?
So im rewatching Dawn for maybe the tenth time since seeing it in theaters when I was younger and can finally appreciate the duality between the relationships of Ceasar/Koba and Malcolm/Dreyfus. When I was younger and throughout the years I only really focused on the Ape side of things but now that the new film will basically only have a couple of regular human characters I thought I should focus more on the human characters in Dawn and War.
This may be a dumb question, and I’m not sure anyone else would have any more insight than I do, but does anyone know if Kingdom will get an action figure line? I really love the look of Proximus Caesar and I think it would be awesome seeing a figure of him.
When Dawn was released and Kingdom was in development, scientists believed that bonobos were peaceful and nonviolent apes - the polar opposite of chimpanzees. This made the violent and villainous personalities of Koba and Proximus Caesar seem out-of-character and unfitting for their species. But this new research seems to suggest that the movies had the right idea from the start.
I was just wondering, what do you think Caesar did about the non intelligent apes from the zoo? I find it a little hard to believe that the zoo apes would immediately join Caesar's troop and feel like soon after reaching the red woods they would have left to find their own territory.
Also, where is the oasis supposed to be? Is there actually a desert after the red woods or was this location made up?
Thought this was a cool nod to the original 68’ POTA movie poster for the “Ruling the kingdom of the planet of the apes” excerpt in Fangoria Vol.2 Issue 23. 🦧🤙
