there were more than one bonobo in the story: koba was just the first villian one. i'm not going to assume or spec that he's related to either caesar or koba. as we know already caesar had two sons( his eldest son learn to speak and maurice/rocket were the last two elders apart from cornilla the kings wife) there are other apes from "other camps" the redwoods was not the only place.." think about it(the last movie there was apes,chimps,bonobos captured from across the world or region)

Crazy part is, Bonobos are apparently more peaceful then Chimpanzees! For such a villain like Koba to be a Bonobos while Ceaser is a Chimp, goes to show how much he hated humans.

It's cool to think about. Ceaser became more inclined to peace as a chimp, and Koba wanted to go to war as a bonobo. They both literally went against their nature.

[@jassygemini1]

This comment right here

[@Mallard942]

Bonobos are brutal rape-savages. The only thing that limits their sadism is their size. There's also a direct connection between intelligence and the appearance of sadism as a trait in a species. That's why chimps in particular and even dolphins are capable of understanding suffering and enjoying inflicting it on other creatures for entertainment.

[@zzreed6403]

Since ceaser was the one who started everything he is known for generations and he is a iconic beacon for the apes, Proximus taking the name could mean he's aiming to be the next iconic beacon just like how ceaser was

It's worth knowing the apes only took 300 years after gaining sentience to enter bronze age which is alarmingly fast compare to humanity IIRC. Judging from how delicate Proximus' crown and ornament are, it's clear the apes had mastered bronze smithing and it's only a matter of time before they advance to iron age. It is implied that the apes could develop their technology even faster if they have more access to functioning human tech. They built civilization for scratch based on old stories from Caesar's time and trial and error on making sense of derelict human device.

[@sharkbait5557]

JUST based on the given context of the trailers, this ape built ape civilization. Took Caesar’s tribe from nomadic hunter-gatherers to an organized kingdom. Clearly idk if this is the ape that did it, but if he’s maintaining it? He must have a pretty damn good idea of how monarchies and government and war strategy work, meaning he really actually might know the most about humans

[@gmailuser699]

But its all fiction 😂

[@maxtinosl7545]

In my opinion koba was 10 times worse cause proximus at least cares for apes and wants them to succeed by having technological advances. He even said he is mortal he did care for himself a little but not as much as koba. Koba was actually who didn’t care for apes in fact he didn’t care for any of them all he cared was for his revenge and knew he could get all apes killed.

[@fearfulclan2007]

I believe Noa is a descendent of Caesar, since he asks a lot of questions about Caesar and learns more about his heritage. He even said together strong, just like Caesar who says apes together strong. He's also the same kind of ape as Caesar and he wants peace just like Caesar. Noa is also the new ape protagonist, along with the girl he rescues. Edit: Noa actually didn't say together strong at all in the movie. It was Raka who said Remember, apes together strong as his last words before he gets swept down a strong fast moving river after Lightning cuts the rope

[@Thegrrog]

I think Noah is a Descendant of Caesar and Proximus is a Koba descendant. My guess is either sometime in the ten years the apes lived in the red woods Koba had some kind of offspring. Some people will counter that Maurice in a book connected to the films said Koba didn’t have kids. Unless…Koba survived the fall. 1. Apes are pretty durable and have been seen to survive falls from great heights, I mean look at Caesar after Koba shot him. 2. At the end of Dawn’s credits an ape breathing which as been confirmed to be Koba by the director. 3. The original play was that Koba was going to actually physically appear in WFTPOTA but considering how much Koba hated humans he would most definitely not even join up with the army. It made more sense for previous Koba supporters to think Koba dead and then join up with the army instead. Perhaps Koba had a female follower escape with him and just booked it to get away from other apes and humans. Then they would have the offspring who would eventually result in the emergence of Proximus generations later. Maybe where Koba hated everything to do with humanity Proximus sees them as some sort of fallen gods/angels and wants to learn as much about their history to better understand his own. I bet Koba wasn’t too keen to pass the story on how he betrayed the ape equivalent of Jesus or something.
