I absolutely loved this whole trilogy, especially the last one. It was a little lacking on the whole "War" thing, but that was probably for the best anyways. There was no way the apes would ever come out on top in an actual war, so shifting it to a war being fought between two groups of humans with the apes caught in the middle was a great way to get around that.

[@LuisZap16]

"war" can mean many things they are having a "war" for survival so is the humans fighting for the human survival

[@DoctorMantisTob0ggan]

I always viewed it as Caesar's internal war with himself between wanting revenge but also wanting to save all of his kind.

[@MrGay-iw6tm]

They would probably win a war tbh cuz they have the advantage with strength and how agile they can be

[@controlman7490]

At this point, the apes would virtually wipe out the remaining humans. Humanity may have superior technology, but they're spread too thin and their numbers are meager compared to the apes. In Dawn, we saw what looked to be a few thousand apes at minimum and that number has remained pretty consistent even in War. Even if the humans wipe out 500 apes there will be 500 more to replace them. Numbers is exactly why Koba and his army defeated the humans in Dawn.

[@pinkdogroslyn8832]

Can I just say, no other series has been revived on the level this one has. Tim Burton’s version had the unrealistic lack of quality and science that was a result of its time. This reboot is not only scientifically and modernly accurate, but it’s writing, CGI, plot, conflict, protagonist, etc. are just out of the park in my opinion. The evolution Caesar goes through is incredible.
