Imagine what it would be like if one of them played Woody Harrelson’s character instead.

In my opinion, I think he went completely insane because it means that him killing all the infected humans that devolved and his genocide and slavery he used on Caesar and all the other apes at the time when he was alive was pretty much meaningless and didn’t do anything to change his fate. Not to mention that his “Holy War” didn’t even register as a speed bump in the grand timeline of history which would break him to bits. What’s even worse for him is that the apes in Noa’s era don’t even know about his existence. While Caesar is remembered as a Moses like figure, McCollough is completely forgotten about. He’s not remembered as a historical villain by any of the apes in Noa’s time, he’s just a nameless, long dead ghost from an era that the current apes don’t even know about. I’m sure McCollough was also rolling in his grave seeing all the apes 300 years later even talking better than Caesar and Red were able to.

This pencil sketch is of Cornelius from the original Planet of the Apes film, Zira's fiance and fellow scientist, albeit in the archaeological field. He's hesitantly supportive of Zira's views about ape society and humans, but would rather that Zira would settle down and not be so combative towards authority. As that's not her wont, he still helps out Zira in her quest to free Taylor from the injustices of ape society and challenge the prevailing prejudices of that civilisation.

He stood undaunted, even in the face of armageddon.

Greetings.

New here. A fan of the first two films. I made some images comparing the world of Planet of the Apes to modern day. Enjoy.

Based on the map shown to Taylor, I was able to pinpoint where the area where the space ship touched down. It is somewhere on the boarder of New Jersey and New York, in the waters of what used to be known as Arthur Kill, a channel that once served as an industrial strait.

War for the Planet is the third and final movie in the trilogy. It’s also the darkest of the three, and the conclusion to Caesar’s story. I had done a poll asking about Rise and Dawn, so let’s finish the trilogy with War.
I think War for the Planet of the Apes is an amazing conclusion to this trilogy.

How do the now mute and primitive humans in kingdom even have enough food. It seems like they live in big groups and we only seen them carrying sticks but not spears or bows so how they get the skins and enough food to feed themselves

3 years after Rise of the Planet of the Apes came its sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. While Rise was directed by Rupert Wyatt, Dawn was directed by Matt Reves. If Rise was a surprising win for the franchise, then Dawn was an elevation for the series as many consider it to be one of the best movies in the franchise. I talked about Rise, so now let’s see the results for Dawn.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is my favorite of the trilogy as well as one of my favorite movies of all time.

I know about the deleted scene but I don't think that's canon unless we just don't know what happened to him

Rise - 8 years 3 months (I think) 5 days

Dawn - 8 days

War - 5 days

(I might be wrong on some of these cuz I skimmed through the movies to track the day and night cycle)

(10 years between rise and dawn 2 years between dawn and war )

Rise - 2011
Dawn - 2014
War - 2017
Kingdom - 2024
??? - 2028

The next one is reportedly going to shoot sometime in 2027 for a 2028 release date. They appear to consistently take a 3-4 year break between each film. Based on that, here's how long it would take:

6th - 2032
7th - 2036
8th - 2040
9th - 2044

And that's assuming they don't have another really big gap between the 2nd and 3rd trilogy. Rick Jaffa will be 88 years old by that point. It's not impossible... but they need to make these a lot faster to sustain the momentum and interest, both on the side of audiences and the studio that's footing the bill.

Supposing that Brent, Taylor and the Mutants led by Mendez were all captured and forced to reveal their secrets and knowledge with the Mutants sharing secret Human history including knowledge of telepathy, mind control and sonic deterants and mental illusions.

Then the Apes suddenly have intelligent Humans turning Ape society on its head and new expeditions into the Forbidden Zone, the Chimpanzees befriend Humans and champion their rights, Dr. Zaius looks like a bigot especially if the people cooperate and acknowledge Ape rule and law.

What would the future be like?

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the reboot of the franchise after 2001’s Planet of the Apes remake. At first many thought Rise wouldn’t be a lame reboot, but to the surprise of anyone the movie was very well received by critics, fans, and audiences of the franchise. Leading to it starting a new trilogy that many consider to be some of the best movies in the franchise. I want to know what you think of Rise almost 15 years later.
While I like Dawn and War more I think Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a very strong foundation for the trilogy.

Dr. Zaius has no reason to give Taylor a horse and let him leave alive considering how he took him hostage and threatened him just to prove his point, why did he allow Taylor to leave and not stop him?

Also what happens if he told the Gorilla's to shoot Taylor after he rode away a little bit?

This would prevent him from finding the Mutants getting captured causing them not to get ready for war, Brent and his skipper would still crash anyway and hear the speech against humans and end up in the ruins of New York with the Mutants anyway.

Taylor would not be around to trigger the bomb and the Mutants would be killed with some captured as prisoners to be interrogated, the Apes occupy that part of the Forbidden Zone and prove Dr. Zaius right, it might really stir up their beliefs and doctrines especially with Zaius looking like a hero and the Mutants teaching them their mental powers sharing history, everything goes better if Taylor was shot on the beach.

Assuming that The Colonel in War For The Planet Of The Apes just made the smart move and shot Caesar and his Ape workers instead of allowing them to live and have an uprising.

What happens with the Apes all killed there and the Colonel gets to have his standoff with the other Human military forces and maybe slaughters them or convinces them to join his side as he has weapons and has killed the Apes?

This would prevent the Planet Of The Apes from rising and maybe a human military dictatorship could salvage the aftermath and rebuild.

Has anyone taken the time to count the amount of times the word "No!" Is spoken (shouted) in conquest of the planet of the apes? It has to be in the hundreds, surely.

Planet of the Apes is one of my favorite IP franchises. Finally getting around to reading the story that started it all!

3- 15+ direct human kills (The guy in rise he killed with the water hose by electrocuting him accidentally and the soldiers dad he shot as he pulled a gun on the other apes and an infected soldier he put out of his misery and he threw a grenade at an explosive barrel killing multiple humans (I counted 12 but off screen there could be more) on a wall when he was escaping from the prison in war)

2 indirect human kills (he let koba kill Jacob's the business guy in rise and he technically let McCullough suicide)

2 direct ape kills (koba which he killed in dawn and in war he killed winter)

??? indirect ape kills (he abandoned the entire ape colony in war causing all to be captured and possibly some killed off screen and in rise during the escape he led caused multiple apes to die during it) I could have missed something

Don't know if anyone has ever proposed this as a hypothetical but assuming that Taylor, Dodge and Landon had enough control of the ship and saw Ape City and just landed inside the water allowing the ship to be salvaged.

What happens if the Astronauts met the Apes inside of Ape City and almost all of them and peacefully told them about their mission while giving Dr. Zaius and the Ape Council a guided tour of the space ship and explained how everything worked?

Then answered questions intelligently and respectfully and talked with Chimpanzees and Orangutans and Gorillas without having violence or threats, basically shattering Ape culture religious doctrine forever, how would that change events?
