Moist Meter | Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

I love how Caesar is basically now like “Ape Jesus”

he gave it a 80%

Who ever could have guessed that the Planet of the Apes series would end up handled better than basically every other movie franchise nowadays?

My favorite part of the movie is when Proximus Caesar says: ”Noa, are you familiar with the legend of Harambe?”

My favorite part of the movie is when the ape said "Give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you." it really hit me.

Monke alone: weak Monke together: STRONG

I love the hypocrisy of Proximus. He claims to follow Caesars words, yet he has his kingdom go out and kill and capture other apes , violating the "ape no kill ape" philosophy Caesar created, under the excuse if his other teaching "apes together strong" to excuse his violent actions. He's also into Roman history, and I realized that I like the contrast of the two Caesars influencing Proximis. So he blends their teachings into the worst version he could possibly end up being, a violent conquerer of other apes who burns other clans and tortures any who resist the glory of his kingdom.

One thing I LOVED about what they did with this movie (spoilers obviously) is when they had the human reader read history books to Proximus, specifically history - showing that Proximus was hearing about Julius Caesar this entire time and was convinced that this was this the Caesar that lead the apes. Just explains why he has such a skewed mindset with how he runs his kingdom. The continued worldbuilding in the movie just expanded on the setting from the trilogy in such an amazing way

The Planet of The Apes Movies are some of the most slept on films from the last decade, It's always good to hear people enjoy them.

The Caesar trilogy is proof that reboots can be awesome when the teams behind them care about things like story and character instead of relying on the brand name to sell it and going with a lazy check box mentality with the script.

Actually, I have a thought about how Caesar's teachings got so twisted. Aside from time, being many generations after Caesar, they had a human that could read. The old guy read to Proximus, and he said that Proximus' favorite info to learn about was Roman history. The apes are getting hearing about Roman Emperor Caesar and thinking that it's the same Caesar they worship as their progenitor. So they know "ape together strong", but they're now also learning how Caesar led a huge army and conquered those around him for the Roman Empire, so they're following the "wrong" Caesar's ambitions

The “What a Wonderful Day” scene was one of the deepest parts in the entire movie. Proximus using Caesar’s words which were originally meant for good and twisting them into something very bad. It also shows how religion can quickly become a cult if it is misinterpreted and people are misled.

Reboots tend to turn a lot of people off, but the Planet of the Apes reboot is probably one of the most well received reboots of all time where even the OG fans seem to enjoy it. It shows that reboots can be good when care is put into them and they’re not just a quick cash grab. I loved the movies with Caesar and exploring his character arch throughout the movies. I’m glad to see that the franchise is finally getting more recognition because it’s very slept on overall and doesn’t get near as much praise or attention as it deserves.

reject humanity embrace monke

I have a running joke with my bro about this movie. Everytime we see a poster, trailer, or anything related to the movie, we add an extra line to the title. For example, Assassin of the King of the Empire of the United Clans of the Jungle of the Home of the Army of the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

I really liked the part where Noa said "YOU KILLED MY FATHER!" then Proximus replies with "No Noa, I am your father" and then Noa replies with a long "NOOOOO!" it really hit me.

Ape together strong

Damn I forgot that war for the planet of the apes was supposed to be the conclusion

Hit hard when Noah was like “what are we supposed to go back to silence??”

They actually did do Rakka so dirty
