Maybe

I’m so confused by takes like this… Isn’t the point of the movie to see ourselves in the apes and the humans to realize that there is no real difference? Saying that koba is right is just like saying a human was right for trying to kill all apes. They are literally the same character with different amounts of hair.

[@mikufollower8564]

No. People aren't that simple. That's the point, there is not just pure goodness and evil. Koba was right to be afraid of humans but his actions were unforgivable but humas were about to do the exact same but some of them were still rooting for coexistence and acceptance. Just like the real world there is so much cruelty but also kindness and you cannot think everyone is just one or the other.

most villains are usually right, its how they go about it that makes them the villain; especially an interesting or good one. you 100% know this but need the clicks and engagement apparently with these "____ was right" video series and im always happy to oblige

[@PlanetShlorpian]

Another theme in Dawn in particular is showing how often deliberate misinformation, propagnada, and conclusion jumping are also the nature of our species. Peace and empathy between both species could've been possible, if only humans would allow for objective communications and actually listened to one another. Perhaps most of mankind didn't deserve to be wiped out, but in all actuality we'd drive ourselves over the cliff of extinction before we accepted the consequences of our own actions. I'm much more on the side of the Apes even in Dawn just because, as we heard from the sacred ape scrolls thousands of years later, "beware the beast man..for he is the devil's pawn." There hasn't been a peaceful day on earth in the thousands of years since humans showed up.

Koba is one of the best villains put onscreen. Hands down.

[@macdreezy794]

I agree, a great character in cinematic history, not just the Ape franchise

[@borntosyn498]

Isnt it ironic that Noah is named after the man who parted the sea when he's potentially the catalyst to bridge Apes and Humanity together

[@wish-i_warsocks2074]

Moses parted the sea, to that point though, from the first viewin’ of the 3rd movie, I always found it ironic that the protagonist had the name Caesar, while his endin’ mirrored that of Moses; he led his people to the promise land, yet he was ultimately denied entry, himself, to said promise land.

[@Joseph-nb4cu]

At 9:41 Caesar didn’t attack him when he pushed the boy he attacked when he said he loves humans more the apes and his family. Most the video good but you reached mad hard for no reason at that part

[@RobertRodriguezMusic]

Wasn’t ready for those pure life lessons at the end 😂🥹

[@lup1up]

Ever since I learned about Hegel and the Other and tribalism in college philosophy, I started to grow this same mindset on what's preventing peace. I really like that you always put yourself out there in these vids and speak from the heart. I always try to do the same. Props SC team! Keep it up!

[@mervegozen3050]

This was brilliant Ryan, one of your best videos

[@johndavila5096]

I always thought the neighbor from the 1st movie was treated unfairly. The first time we saw him was him defending his children. Good father. 2nd time there was an old man in his car. Defending his property. 3rd time we saw him he was coming out his house and blood was spit all over him that would start the virus spread. That dude was the misunderstood victim the whole movie.

[@DaniMezgebe]

The most unfortunate neighbor😂

[@Dragonheroadimus]

Granted he went about things like an idiot. Best thing for the first two situations were if he remained calm instead of relying on instinctual fear and aggression.

[@z00merang18]

I remember watching the first movie and I went back and watched all the movies with kingdom of the planet too. I saw some comments saying that these movies were unrealistic and it's the furthest thing from the truth. These movies especially the second and the third one show what would be the most likely scenario if this were to happen irl. Being smart is a human thing and if another species were to become smart, they would yearn for freedom and would do anything to keep their freedom too. The first movie's narrative was human bad ape good but the second movie really managed to show both sides in a humanized objective perspective. Koba was right, humans will never give up but that means ape will not either because they're human too now. So the best way the two sentient species could exist would be to learn how to live together. Building a society and creating laws and making a safe home for both apes and humans. Or else they would keep killing each other until one side goes extinct completely. But regardless I really love these series and they don't feel like sci Fi to me. They're really realistic and it's like you can't have a side like in other movies because it's just how it works. You can't change evolution and u have to adapt to it or else you and others like you will cease to exist

[@ashlirabid9614]

You have to 2 kind of people who tend to say 'this movie is unrealistic'. 1 Misogynists/racists, when a movie has a lead or narrative about a less represented group. 2 Haters when they see a people from a less represented ENJOY a movie or character that represents them ( in a positive ) manner. Haters usually tend to be from the groups I mentioned in point 1.

[@JustJulianMusic]

[@justprime-yq1gi]

[@stuartbagley2586]

Kingdom shows The Colonel was right as well.

[@ashlirabid9614]

Not really. You can't mistreat a group then whine when said group starts mistreating you. He was just Koba in human form because he never cared for humanity, he just cared for human dominance ( as in authority over other humans). Which is ironic because power hunger and abuse of authority is high in upper ranks in the military.

[@Unwantedbroacast]

Apes are strong together, but the series is not strong with a girl boss Whitcher.

[@arminarlert7273]

Both Koba and the Coronel were right. That's what's facunating of these movies. Everyone, including the antagonist were right.

[@joshnizzle]

Am I crazy or does the sentence he says “competition for resources became scarce “ sound like the competition is scarce not the resources? Shouldn’t it be “competition raged as resources became scarce”? Someone smart tell me if I’m correct or I’m crazy lol

[@SrikanthNalla17]

I think peace would have been obtained by allowing each party to partially surveil their opponents. But it would become a very boring movie. Peace requires many hundreds and thousands of small incremental steps each adding to mutual trust. Peace also requires political systems which are immune to demagogues and hatemongers. All this can't be shown and explained in a single movie or even a ten movies. But it can show and explain scenarios which won't work or causes failure.
