Imagine you're living in the world post simian flu. But you're all alone, and you're trying to find someone or finding resources. Ngl that's just terrifying being alone in a desecrated world with no one else there. Whether you're in a forest or abandoned city, it would be such a horror trying to find someone or resources left behind. God save you if any evil ape tries to attack you or abduct you.

Hell you could ease your loneliness if you find any feral humans atleast. As long as they ain't hostile, you good.

Original Post

I showed my buddy the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes this summer in the only way that made sense (during a psychedelic trip). I recorded the audio of our viewing from my phone, and burnt him a disc as a birthday present. This was the dvd slipcover I made. I figure some people here might get a kick out of it.

for context: the scene with 'too many mouths' is when Tim Roth shoves him fingers down Marky's throat.

I remember when Proximus was talking to Noa, he said the words "Old orangutan" with slight disgust or distain. The main thing that convinced me he has some kind of issue with them is that there simply are no orangutans in his kingdom. I could be misremembering, but his kingdom consisted entirely of gorillas, chimps, and bonobos. No orangutans. This could be for a few reasons.

1- He genuinely doesn't like them.

2- I haven't watched the older movies, but I read somewhere that orangutans were often scholars and religious leaders (correct me if I'm wrong). A well informed orangutan could deconstruct and dismantle his entire kingdom, since it's basically built on lies anyway. Obviously Proximus can't have that happening, so he simply banned orangutans.

Almost all apes groom each other. It helps build social bonds and generally keep each other clean. So... do they still do that in Planet of the Apes?

Is rhere a rough plans on how many more pota movies there will be?

Hello Guys,

I’m planning a movie night with my dad and decided to dive into some of this year’s bigger blockbusters. He tends to be hit or miss with the more artistic, Oscar-worthy films, so we’ve been focusing on crowd-pleasers. So far, we’ve watched Dune: Part Two, Twisters, Godzilla vs. Kong, The Fall Guy, and A Quiet Place: Day One. Of course, we didn’t do this in a single day; it’s been spread out over many weeks.

Now, we’re gearing up to tackle Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (KOPOTA), but here’s the catch: he hasn’t seen any of the previous trilogy films, while I have. I’m trying to figure out the best way to bring him up to speed. Should I spread this out over multiple weeks to catch him up on the trilogy? Would it be better to watch a couple of recap videos to get him familiar with the storyline? Or should I just pause during the movie and fill him in on key details as we go along?

Thank You!

After watching Kingdom, I'm kind of lost on who I'm rooting for between the Apes and Humans. It felt easier to side with the apes during Caesar films.

It's pretty clear apes and humans can't co exist peacefully. The Ape colonies are unable to not battle against each other.

The main message I unfortunately got from this film was that no matter how intelligent and peaceful of a society/clan you create, without a good military it will eventually be conquered by one with a stronger military.

She talked about half the government going to that giant bunker, I can imagine that the other half of the government are not people spread out in several small bunkers like Mae's, so could we see another bunker with surviving and advanced humans?

Love the style of this figure, she’s so cute :]

Major plot point was that the Colonel wouldn’t give the apes food & water. Not to be an asshole, but couldn’t they just eat snow??? These apes were literally waking up & brushing snow off themselves every morning like “uhhh, get this shit OFF me”…

Am I wrong??

So in Kingdom it’s mentioned that the (abandoned) bunker at Coronado beach naval base was where half of the government went when things got bad. In the firestorm novel, one of the first notable victims of the pandemic was the U.S. President, who was apparently a progressive politician. There’s an evangelical far-right pundit ranting about how retroviruses are gods weapon on the tv when this is announced before the character changes the channel in disgust. It’s just a brief take that to certain problematic parts of American politics and news, but if this part is canon and the progressive president and his cabinet fell victim early, the Coronado bunker humans could have been the more extreme and right-wing parts of the government. If they left willingly before the events of kingdom, they might even end up as a major antagonist to both ape and human, like a planet of the apes version of the Enclave from Fallout.

Want to see a tribe of gorillas, maybe riding elephants?

Maybe humans who survived on an island or oil rig will head to the mainland to restore civilization?

Imagine how fun that would be. Just a big community of PoTA fans coming together in Minecraft to build kingdoms and things.
