[@culchiefilms1791]

Ryan Ive heard some not so great things about BetterHelp and unfortunately we know you have a history of advertising shady products. I have been through a lot lately. I've lost 3 friends since Decemember. 2 very recently (1 by suicide) and the other was one of my best friends. I found my other best friend years ago. Ive been struggling to get help. I lost my job because of it all. I personally could never use their deaths for personal monetary gain like what you are doing. Is there way you can prove this is legit and that I can trust you? I watch almost all your videos for years now and I can't afford to waste money on this if its not going to help and although I enjoy your videos, Im not sure how I feel about you personally ever since how you handled the whole Established Titles drama. I've seen a lot of bad reviews of BetterHelp and not many good ones so Im very weary on this.. What reassurances can you offer?

He directly funded crime when he allowed Dr Octavius to build his machine.

[@nogedoge]

The writing for the movie was unexpectedly very emotionally complex and mature, which I think has gone over a lot of viewer's heads. Mae and Noa are written as contrasts in dealing with trauma and anger. Mae is struggling to overcome her trauma, from Proximus' brutality, which affects her trust of all apes. She struggles to do what is morally sound, being impulsive due to her grief, pain, and loneliness. Noa grows and moves through his trauma and anger, in which community and family benefit him greatly in this respect - He chooses trust and not harm against those who haven't harmed him. The movie is teaching us pain begets pain (Mae), but trust and follow-through heals pain (Noa). The real enemy is unhealed trauma and what that brings. Mae's outward actions are perfect example of a person with internal conflict and unchecked feelings. Really great writing.

Thank you was thinking the same thing. The old dude with him was a history buff and was telling him everything humans did. He knew what they were capable of. And Mae embodies that by caring about the mission above everything. We dont know what would happen if humans regained speech and everything else but it could be a war to return to how it was or they'd figure out how to live together. It's tough to imagine it lol.

[@charlesfaure1189]

As was Dr. Zaius in the original film. In the second film it is made clear that the humans' feeding on ape crops has brought the ape civilization to the brink of starvation.

[@al-joe]

That's what I love about the new movies. Besides Rise, which had villains who were kind of flat and objectively just evil, the movies show that all the "villains" had their (mostly reasonable) motivations behind their actions. Even though they're the "bad guys" from the POV of the protagonists, we still get a glimpse into why they're doing what they do. It's about humanity and how it's not "good" or "bad."

Mae was an absolute Villain in the film. She planted the scent to destroy the Eagle village on purpose. She attempted to commit genocide by flooding the apes good or bad. Then she was about to shoot him in the end only to stop when he offered her the necklace. She was the reason his village was obliterated and why his father died. Humans once again are proven to the the problem. Proximo for the most part wanted to protect his Kingdom. He had nothing against humans as he was housing one to entertain and educate him. I didn't see him as a villain, he was originally chasing down the HUMAN spies that led his trackers to the eagle village. AKA how the movie begins is with Mae luring the main character to take her bloodied cloths so his scouts would discover them.

[@peterquintero2664]

[@peterquintero2664]

Bro was a villain even if he had nothing "against" humans he treated the other apes very bad and was willing to dispose of them like they had little to no value.

Something else I think worth noting. I found it to be important as you. Mentioned at the end, when may accepts the necklace which symbolizes her new way of thinking, but also something else that you may have not noticed is that when she accepted the necklace, she grabbed it. Or held onto it with both hands, meaning that she had to put the gun away. So that means that she think, at that moment, head put away her distrust in Apes. N made the decision that she was ready to be able to trust the Apes. She could have easily grabbed that necklace with one hand and still hold the gun. But she chose to hold it with both hands. Meaning she decided to put her guard down for the first time which really shows her new change of heart best. I think. I think this could be setting us up for the original movies. Timeline of the end of part 5, where part 5 was told as a story from an ape in the year 2600 and something with Apes and humans living side by side in peace. apes and surface humans both ful clothed and speaking So it seems in the original timeline, humans lose their ability to speak and become of lower order sometime. After that story is told at the end of part 5, whereas in this latest movies we lose the ability to speak immediately after So either some humans regain that ability or It could just be two different versions.We'll have to see

[@austinharding9734]

I thought the coolest part was how the movie introduced the doll from the first movie. The exact same doll with the exact same sound as in that cave from the first movie is most definitely that bunker in this latest movie.Since both take place on the beach, it's definitely gotta be the same place, which means kingdom takes place in future new york

[@richardthemagician8991]

I think it's also important to point out with this movie that the writers seemed to have learned a valuable lesson from Star wars. Noah was really just some random guy. Yes, his father was the leader of their tribe. But at the end of the day, he was really just another member of the tribe himself. He wasn't necessarily anyone special. All throughout the movie I kept expecting them to somehow make Noah a descendant of Caesar. And I was thrilled by the end when they didn't.

[@connla]

father wasnt the leader of the tribe even, he was the master of the birds, a very high role but not the leader, we see the elder of the tribe having his necklace pulled off in the attack scene before they kill Noah's dad.

[@daninthearena]

So I think the astronauts are coming back too and I think they told us this in the movie…hear me out. When the main ape, Noa explained to Raka later on what he saw in the telescope he says something like “a tunnel swallowing light” at first I thought he was talking about the telescope itself and he could’ve been but what if he saw a black hole or wormhole? The same one that would soon bring those astronauts to that time.

[@mattmurdoch3397]

I think Icarus from rise that was meant to land on Mars ended up in that worm hole,ended up colonizing another planet and found a way back 300 years later.i also have a feeling Mae found her way back first from that colony to scope earth out,and being told where the location of the bunker was. It would explain why she wears quite futuristic clothes and why seemingly she isn't affected at all by the airborne virus,like she's generationally immune to it yet the settlers in the base great her in respirators.

[@princebealalthe3rd732]

I think he saw a space station or satellite which would explain swallowing light since it would be the only device with light in space besides stars I think at the end he saw the satellites activate which is why he looked angry knowing that he couldn’t trust mae.Just my theory tho

i like how the movie in the end gave us a slight hint of the dynamics of the groups of humans that now exist in this world, 1. The people underground that never had contact with the virus at all (the woman in the hazmat suit at the end) 2. People like mae that have contracted the virus and is immune to the silencing of speech from the virus 3. the people that didnt die of the virus, but are not immune to the side effects of the virus that makes them silent, and unintelligent i mean thinking about it im really looking forward to what they do with this, its an interesting plot point having even the humans not being able to coexist with each other

Proximus didn't believe in Caesar's teachings...he didn't know about them. All he knew was the fact that Caesar was the ultimate OG ape...so he manipulated that memory for his own benefit.

I thought it was supposed to be a Noah's ark type allusion to the flood. The main character was named Noah and after the flood you have a hawk instead of a dove.

[@gallen1234]

One thing that I noticed was how Noah is one of the smartest apes on the planet , so far. He repaired the stun rod without ever having studied it before. He has seen books and technology in detail including the telescope. He has seen the heavens and may have seen a space station. He wants the best for his people and seems to understand that they do not truly know everything Caesar preached, so apes need to become more advanced in order to survive and cannot completely trust anyone, otherwise they will risk destruction. I don’t want the series to be a complete recycle of the past. I would like to find out that the apes find a way to release the waters in the silo and understand the technology to become extremely intelligent equal to and in some ways exceeding present day mankind. People like May are selfish and want the entire planet for themselves, but something needs to happen to force them to come together or perish! Maybe the secret to human survival resides in humans and apes being exposed to each other’s bodies and adjusting?

[@loveandmercy9664]

I found it had some Biblical connections as well. Caesar was like a Moses type character who left laws that were perserved by Raka and Noa is a potential Christ like figure to fulfill those laws. Also his name is Noa and there's a giant flood scene. There's also a classic Joseph Campbell crossing the threshold scene which refelcts the chase scene from the original movie.

[@piledriver7238]

Nice video; but you missed a small, albeit important detail from the 1968 movie. In that movie, Cornelius mentions to Taylor that human's are not allowed to speak, only apes can speak. So actually, humans in the original films lost their ability to speak because they were brutalized and banned from speaking by the apes over generations, eventually losing their speech. A much crueler way the apes dealt with the humans in the original movies...

The one thing you didn't touch on was Mae's origin. If she was born underground, how is she immune to the virus on the surface?

[@andrewpayne5093]

Is the virus still airborne after 300 years ? It was airborne during the initial outbreak and the survivors on the surface were just immune to it and passed the immunity on to their children. Idk if its still airborne now, the humans alive now just carry it from their ancestors so they arent breathing it in.

[@parisbeech2180]

Great question kinda sucks they didn't answer that in the movie

There are a number of humans who are genetically immune such as Mae and the old guy that helped Proximus. She lived with other humans that were immune and most likely were on the same mission.

8:08 it is shown several times throughout the early scenes of the movie that the eagles are how they gather fish. seems like an extremely vital mechanism for their clan’s survival. Noa’s 2nd encounter with Mae in the smokehouse (the building full of fish) shows that it is probably their main source of food as well since they are making efforts to preserve the fish too. they also use them for scouting it seems (when Noa’s father sent his eagle w/ Oda is one example). plus the ending when they use them for combat to defeat Proximus. i think their uses are many. if they learned to hunt, they would be very useful in that regard too.

The water level at the vault bugged me... on one side of the boat there is a beach as seen when they are brought in.

Also inside the vault, once the water rush in you can see them climb 4+ floors up, and the water is still rising. In one of the scenes the water is even coming from above them, after they have climbed. The water would not go above the natural sea level.
