A Taste of the Lash: At one point, a frail orangutan accidentally drops a beam, causing work on the Colonel's wall to be stalled. He is whipped by Red as punishment, though Caesar presents himself to take the beatings instead.

Arc Symbol: Or rather, an arc gesture, technically. The sign of two fists held up together (referencing the "broken sticks" metaphor from the first movie) serves as a salute for Caesar's apes, and eventually, a symbol of defiance, meaning "Apes Together Strong."

comment
Dirty Coward: The "Donkeys", the apes that betrayed Caesar and joined the humans, are seen as this by the other apes. Caesar says that the majority of the "Donkeys" followed Koba during the events of Dawn, and fled to the humans (after previously trying to enslave or exterminate the San Francisco humans) out of fear of what Caesar would do to them for trying to have him killed. After Red escapes from the apes, the white gorilla named Winter is scared for an attack, and rats out his entire colony (indirectly getting Cornelia and Blue Eyes killed) to ensure his own survival.

Bloodless Carnage: Averted. Pretty much every dead body we see is visibly cut and bleeding, and there's a noticeable spray when a couple of characters like Red get shot. Played extremely straight when Preacher takes a direct hit from a grenade launcher and the only thing we see flying out of the explosion is a clean, remarkably bloodless helmet.

Crucified Hero Shot: Alpha-Omega bound apes in x-shaped crosses, leaving them to die from hunger and exposure. Caesar himself suffers from this in the middle of the film, and the reason he was captured is because he tried to rescue his commander, Spear, himself crucified.

Darker and Edgier: Dawn was plenty dark, but it only had one real battle between the apes and the humans. This film features all-out war between the two species, and Caesar goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge He Who Fights Monsters style after the Colonel kills his wife and eldest son. And it gets a hell of a lot worse before it gets better.

comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The last healthy humans who weren't infected with the Simian Flu are shown to have retreated to snow-burdened mountains during winter since the Simian Flu takes away a human's cognitive ability and supposedly their brain intelligence with it. This implies that humanity is doomed to return to the Stone Age, allowing apes to replace humans as the dominant species.

Never Trust a Trailer
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer implied that the war would be started by the attack on the waterfall. The war is already raging when the film starts. The Colonel is heard saying he "needs the girl", implying that the apes have taken Nova, who is important to the Colonel for some reason, and are keeping her away from him. This line is never heard in the film, and the apes find Nova on the way to the Colonel's base without her being important to his plans. The closest she ever comes to the Colonel is leaving the doll with Ceasar which the Colonel suspicious, and his contact with it leads to his infection and later suicide.

Chekhov's Gun: Nova's doll. It's contaminated with the mutated flu which causes the Colonel's infection. When we first see the camp, there's large fuel tanks near the Colonel's wall. They come in handy for Caesar in the climax. Preacher's crossbow is used once during the opening sequence, and then again whenever he needs to move Caesar... until he finally uses it to shoot Caesar. He also appears to be the only soldier who uses one.

 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: A mute human girl, name unknown, who comes to be called "Nova". Her doll could be a reference to the one Taylor found in a cave. McCullough's faction is called "Alpha Omega", the codename on the doomsday bomb from the first Apes sequel. A pair of large fuel tanks with "Alpha Omega" written on them are even set off as bombs in the end. Just as Taylor did, Caesar's group ride their horses on the seashore at one point as they journey to find answers. And on both occasions they were accompanied by "Nova", who had to share a horse with another. When Caesar observes through binoculars the encampment of the Colonel's soldiers where Winter is found and soon killed, there is a banner the soldiers put up that reads, "The Only Good Kong Is a Dead Kong"; an inversion of General Ursus' declaration in Beneath the Planet of the Apes of, The only "good" human, is a dead human! note This itself originally being an ironic inversion of the notorious quote, The only "good Indian", is a dead Indian, supposedly attributed to US Army General Philip Sheridan. The northern army's awkward assault on Alpha-Omega's stronghold with a mixed bag of military vehicles, might be reminiscent of the human army's assault on the ape's settlement with a hodgepodge of pieced-together vehicles in the fourth and final sequel to the original 1968 film. The location for the apes' new home is an area by a large lake surrounded by hills and mountains next to a desert, the same landscape where the original Apes film was set, and a lake was where Taylor's spacecraft crashed. This isn't the first times apes were crucified on x-shaped crosses outside the villain's lair. Bad Ape wears a blue vest, similar to those worn in the original films. The last sequel to the original Apes concluded with a statue of Caesar shedding a tear after showing a group of ape and human children sitting and playing together in peace. At the ending of War, Caesar sheds a tear of joy before he dies, after showing Nova, Cornelius, and Bad Ape happily playing together on arriving at the new ape homeland. The Simian Flu that renders humans mute and supposedly lowers their cognitive functions is similar to the illness that plagued the human race in the original novel.

He Who Fights Monsters: Caesar was once one of the apes that advocated peace with the humans, and fought against one of his own kind in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in order to preserve peace. Unfortunately, the war against the apes going badly for the humans is taking its toll on him. Thankfully, he never fully crosses the line.

Hair-Trigger Avalanche: The explosion of the prison camp sets off an avalanche that crushes the Northern army and saves the apes. Justified since the explosion filmed in real life was so big it made the news, and was expanded to four or five times the size digitally in the finished film.

The apes are essentially a mix of La Résistance hiding in the Maquis and Holocaust targets who are being hunted down for extinction. Caesar dying upon entering The Promised Land like Moses pushes the comparison with Jewish people even further.

Actor Allusion: The humans give the apes military-esque codenames, the two main names being "Donkeys" (apes that serve the humans) and "Kongs" (the apes led by Caesar). Caesar, being the apes' leader, is classified as "King Kong". McCullough is heard referring to Caesar as such after killing Blue Eyes and Cornelia.

Face Death with Dignity: When McCullough has Caesar on his knees, a manacled captive with a pistol barrel jammed against his forehead, the ape leader presses his head into the gun further, daring him to make him a martyr. Caesar dies quietly, sitting next to Maurice as they watch the apes begin to set up their new home.

Clash of Evolutionary Levels
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_39c499db
comment
Clash of Evolutionary Levels: Played straight with the humans versus apes. Apes could be seen as the "superior" species, being stronger and tougher than humans while being just as smart thanks to ALZ-113 exposure. Inverted with the humans infected by the new Simian Flu strain. McCullough believes the disease to not just render the victims mute, but to also take away their higher brain functions, robbing them of what makes them human. (Whether that's even accurate or not is up for debate. In at least Nova's case, she seems like she retains the ability to learn and reason.) As a result, seeing what humans would "de-evolve" into if the disease spreads, he kills any infected members of his own army.

Humans Are Bastards
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_3d4d3dc9
comment
Humans Are Bastards: With the exception of Nova, all humans in the film are hostile to the apes. Caesar and his fellow apes have suffered such heavy casualties that they point guns at whichever human they run into, including Nova when they first encountered her. It seems that the social unrest caused by the Simian Flu pandemic has divided human society into warring clans that are acting Social Darwinistic, as healthy humans now enslave apes for wall labor and execute any human infected with the flu. Preacher is probably the biggest example of this trope: he was spared by Caesar and allowed to return home unharmed in spite of him having killed at least a few apes with his crossbow, but Preacher goes back to his soldier duties and even shoots Caesar. Your call on whether Preacher is a monster who proves how immoral humans can be in desperate situations such as flu pandemics and war or he was being forced by Alpha-Omega to do so and he was only interested in saving himself.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In general, despite the inevitability of the apes' eventual victory, the film stacks the odds immensely high against them. While the apes were reasonably evenly-matched against the civilian survivors in the previous film, they're at a significant disadvantage against the actual military, whose firepower, tactics, and means of transportation are far more powerful than the apes' more archaic weapons and methods. The conflict itself is hardly even a war at all, as the apes spend the bulk of the film trying to escape from their human enemies. When Caesar embarks alone on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, Maurice, Rocket, and Luca choose to accompany him while the rest of the apes continue on their journey. With all four of their leading authority figures abandoning them, the apes are swiftly captured by McCullough and his men. On McCullough's part, building a military base on an arms storage facility under a giant, snow-covered mountain is not a good idea. The climactic battle results in an avalanche that completely buries the base, and all the surviving soldiers from both factions with it. In the end, what dooms the human race has little to do with the apes at all — ideological differences between McCullough and the rest of the military leads to the last bastion for humanity's defence, its armies, going to war against each other, with the apes spending most of the climax trying to stay out of the crossfire. Caesar is wounded with Preacher's arrow by the climax. By the time the apes reach their new home, it's revealed that Caesar hasn't treated the wound at all, which predictably results in his death.

Ungrateful Bastard: Caesar expresses this to McCullough. After the battle at the beginning of the movie, among the surviving soldiers Caesar allows to leave unharmed, includes Preacher, so that they can deliver a message to the Colonel. Later during the Final Battle, Preacher, who had earlier shown signs of a Heel–Face Turn, is just about to finish off Caesar when he is blown up by Red, who did make a Heel–Face Turn.

The Guards Must Be Crazy: The guards so completely fail to notice Nova sneaking up to Caesar's cage. And across to the other apes. Then back again. Rocket throws poo at a lone guard, so he goes down alone into the prison yard with the keys on him. And nobody manning the searchlights that sweep over him notices him getting beat up or disappearing. The guards also fail to notice Caesar and Rocket rescuing the infants from their cage, leading them up the walls and climbing across a wire from one side of the base to the other, then down into the adults' cage, where every ape goes down into the tunnel one at a time.

Downer Ending: Two-fold and both heavily foreshadowed. Caesar dies., though it's more bittersweet than outright downer. Apes will inherit the Earth once all humans lose their higher functions, like McCullough predicts, and that humans would then become little more than pets for the apes, just like in the original movie. Nova's cheer at the end only highlights it.

Bookends: One that extends across the entire trilogy. Caesar and Maurice's first proper conversation in Rise has them sitting together by a tree in the Sanctuary, discussing how apes working together can be strong (and Maurice dismissing the idea out of hand). At the end of War, Caesar and Maurice have another conversation about this very subject, also beside a tree. Caesar realizes that the apes are finally strong with, or without, his leadership. It's also the last conversation the pair have, as Caesar succumbs to his wounds right after their final exchange of words.

Hero of Another Story: The Colonel mentions that several of his soldiers and their families deserted out of horror after he started executing the infected. Nova and her father are apparently some of those deserters and another joined the Northern Army and told them about the Colonel, but there are implicitly others out there, trying to eke out living away from either side of the war. The Colonel says that some members or allies of the Northern Army are still working to find a scientific cure for the Simian Flu and bring humanity Back from the Brink. Percy spends a lot of the first half of the film leading the bulk of the tribe in their evacuation while the main cast act as decoys. Bad Ape gets his own story arc in a comic book tie-in, depicting his life at Sierra Safari Zoo and the abuse humans used to put him through.

The Villain Must Be Punished: Even after Caesar is able to free the apes from the Alpha-Omega slave camp and knowing the Colonel is being pursued by the Army, Caesar stays behind to execute the Colonel himself in revenge for his family's deaths; subverted when he discovers the Colonel has been infected with simian flu and is mentally degrading. Caesar instead allows him to commit suicide.

The Promised Land: At the beginning of the film Rocket and Blue Eyes return from a journey in which they discover a faraway oasis in the desert where apes can build a new home free from humans. After a long, harrowing exodus full of hardships, the apes finally reach this paradise at the very end. The Moses metaphor is driven home when Caesar dies sitting on a hill, right after his people enter the paradise.

For the raid on the Apes' hideout: first, the Alpha-Omega soldiers split up, a dumb idea in any scenario but downright suicidal when facing down an enemy with a key advantage in close quarters. They then completely ignore stealth, fielding highly visible laser sights and tactical flashlights while loudly yammering over the radio in an environment swarming with hostiles. No suprise when the two unnamed soldiers get picked off within seconds of screentime while McCullough only makes it out due to Plot Armor.

Covers Always Lie: You see that poster up there with Caesar leading a huge ape army against human forces? Never happens. His herd of apes is much smaller, and they are much more concerned with escaping than fighting the humans. The big war scene comes from another army of humans attacking, with the apes escaping during the chaos.

Remember the New Guy?: Red, Winter and Lake are all implied to have been present in the colony at least during the events of Dawn, yet were not seen among the apes during these events despite their distinctive appearances. Red is explicitly mentioned to have helped plot Koba's attempted usurpation of Caesar in Dawn, yet was not seen at all during that incident. Lake is a bit more forgivable since with her appearance, she could more easily blend in with the majority of black-haired chimpanzees. Not so much for Winter or Red, considering their striking white and red fur colors would have made them stick out like sore thumbs in the previous movies.

Celebrity Paradox: McCullough mentions King Kong by name... Even though: Andy Serkis (Caesar) plays the titular character (and the human characters' chef) in the 2005 remake. Terry Notary (Rocket) plays the titular character in Kong: Skull Island, while Toby Kebbell (Koba) is also part of that film's cast. However, it should be considered that this film was released in 2017 while the Simian Flu outbreak happened around either 2011, based on Rise's release date, or 2016, based on an in-universe newspaper from Rise.

Small Role, Big Impact: Winter is killed by Caesar before the group even meet Bad Ape, though his betrayal results in the apes' hideout being compromised and the deaths of Cornelia and Blue Eyes. After being sent back to the Colonel by Caesar, Preacher spends the majority of the film silently guarding the apes at the prison camp. However, before his death, he delivers the mortal blow to Caesar that later results in the latter's passing.

Bathos: This is the darkest film in a reboot franchise that was already very dark, and at times it feels like a WWII prison drama or Holocaust movie than a sci-fi talking ape movie. Naturally, it also happens to be the first film in the franchise period where, after two bleak and punishing hours of movie have already gone by, they whip out the ol' "monkey throwing shit at people" joke.

Tragic Keepsake: McCullough had a child that died and keeps a photo of him. He reveals to Caesar that his son grew up to be a soldier in his army, but lost his ability to speak as a result of the muting disease. McCullough killed him to try and stop the mutated virus spreading further, as he does with all soldiers who exhibit symptoms.

"Not So Different" Remark: Caesar's Roaring Rampage of Revenge starts to scare his fellow apes, with Maurice saying, "You sound like Koba." Ultimately, Caesar himself realizes this, and is still unwilling to let go of his hatred until his personal revenge has been met... but manages to finally let it go after seeing the pathetic wreck Colonel McCullough has become.

Greater-Scope Villain: The Northern Army is implied to be this, from their greater numbers to better overall weaponry. Even McCullough sees them as this to some degree since he wanted to build a wall to keep them out. And of course, they're no friendlier to Caesar and the apes than the Colonel's splinter forces are, judging from how they had their guns trained on Caesar towards the end.

Foreshadowing
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The disease now causes muteness. Which is why mankind in future Apes films are mute. The Colonel mentions that they burned all the possessions of anyone who was infected with the muting disease to avoid it spreading. Near the end, he picks up the doll belonging to Nova who is infected with said virus. Next time we see him, he has been infected himself. At one point, a disgusted Caesar asks Red what is even left of him to save. In the final battle, Red performs a Heel–Face Turn and sacrifices himself to save Caesar's life. McCullough tells Caesar when they first meet that hopes Caesar doesn't come to regret sparing Preacher's life, as he's a very good shot with his crossbow. Preacher gives Caesar his fatal wound with that crossbow.

Continuity Nod: Maurice has a scar on his right cheek from Koba shooting him in an attempt to kill Blue Eyes during the finale of the previous film. Blue Eyes still has the gashes across his chest that he got from the bear attack at the beginning of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Rocket brings up Ash's death when trying to relate and reason with Caesar after Blue Eye's (as well as Cornelia's) death. Hearkening back to the first film's use of The Sons and the Spears ("Apes together strong"), holding two fists next to each other (as if attempting to break a bundle of sticks) has become a Strange Salute among the apes and is used a gesture of solidarity.

White Shirt of Death: Winter, an albino gorilla, gets several of his fellow apes, including Caesar's wife and son, killed by the Colonel. When Caesar catches up to Winter later, he (unintentionally) kills the white ape, which seems only the second time ever that Caesar has killed another ape since Koba. The northern human army is wearing white fatigues, most likely for stealth purposes given the snowy environment. They are the film's final human casualties via avalanche.

Hollywood Tactics
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_a6b14ee1
comment
Hollywood Tactics: In the initial attack: Alpha-Omega soldiers attack an entrenched, fortified enemy, known to possess cavalry and therefore able to quickly alert reinforcements, from a vulnerable position at the bottom of a hill without scouting ahead of time to ensure that they can kill all of the mounted apes without letting any escape. No surprise when they fail to prevent reinforcements from being alerted and get a platoon's worth of soldiers wiped out in the ensuing counterattack. For the raid on the Apes' hideout: first, the Alpha-Omega soldiers split up, a dumb idea in any scenario but downright suicidal when facing down an enemy with a key advantage in close quarters. They then completely ignore stealth, fielding highly visible laser sights and tactical flashlights while loudly yammering over the radio in an environment swarming with hostiles. No suprise when the two unnamed soldiers get picked off within seconds of screentime while McCullough only makes it out due to Plot Armor. For the final battle: the northern army fails to scout Alpha-Omega's defenses, missing the AA emplacements clearly mounted on the outer wall in plain view. Once they start losing numerous valuable Apaches note which would be scarce given that Boeing no longer exists, and for which training new pilots and gunners or even just finding suitable replacement parts would be exceedingly difficult, they continue to throw the helicopters away with pointless strafing runs. Once the fortifications are destroyed by an explosion, they send the entirety of their military presence (including massed infantry, Abrams tanks, Strykers, Humvees, and some vehicles note M35 and M977 trucks which have no right being at the front of the battle line) right up to the wall, in a valley between two snow covered mountains, just in time to be completely wiped out by an avalanche. Even without the avalanche, for all they knew the Colonel could have stationed a couple mortar teams on the mountain sides, which would've decimated the massive crowd of infantry and vehicles now crammed, literally, shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the ruined fortress. When the apes move from their home, there's no scouts at all. They just roll out in a big clump. Somewhat justified as Caesar not being with them and providing his tactical ability, directly contributed to the fact the humans "got lucky" (as McCullough puts it) and caught them unaware.

Somewhere, an Equestrian Is Crying: The fact that the horse can somehow gallop while carrying a gorilla (who weighs at least 320lb\140kg) shows they're either more resistant than regular ones or being abused — and that's not counting the scene where one carries both the gorilla and a chimpanzee. In the previous two movies, only the chimpanzees rode horses — and in the original movies plus the 2001 remake, the gorillas had "evolved" into a lighter shape, given they're human-sized.

Blood from the Mouth: When Caesar's group finds Nova, she appears to have specks of dried blood at the corners of her mouth. When they later find three of the Colonel's soldiers who were executed, the lone survivor's mouth is bloody, as if from his bullet wounds being fatal. But when Caesar has the final confrontation with the Colonel, the man is bleeding heavily from the mouth along with having just lost his ability to speak. These suggest that the loss of speech is due to the muting disease wrecking the human vocal cords.

Putting on the Reich
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_bcba27a1
comment
Putting on the Reich: McCullough and his prison camp tick a lot of boxes that are evocative of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany respectively. The apes are essentially a mix of La Résistance hiding in the Maquis and Holocaust targets who are being hunted down for extinction. Caesar dying upon entering The Promised Land like Moses pushes the comparison with Jewish people even further. The Colonel's army is made of black-clad fanatical soldiers chanting their leader's words. The Alpha-Omega base is essentially a concentration camp where inmates are starved and worked to death, when they are not summarily executed. "Donkeys" are Les Collaborateurs when helping humans storm the apes' hideouts and kapos when overseeing and brutalizing simian prisoners. The Colonel targeting flu-contaminated humans because they became mute and because he thinks they are no longer intelligent chillingly reminds of Aktion T4.

Hope Spot: During the battle for the Alpha-Omega base, Red sees Caesar charging towards the oil tanks and priming a grenade in dramatic slow-mo with the music rising triumphantly... only for him to drop the grenade and fall to the ground when Preacher shoots him with his crossbow. It's then subverted when Red kills Preacher with the grenade launcher a few seconds later, buying Caesar the precious time he needs to throw the grenades and blow the base.

Aesop Amnesia: Caesar is devastated when his desire for revenge against the Colonel leads him to abandon his fellow apes. Once the apes escape the prison camp, Caesar again abandons them to seek revenge against the Colonel, fully aware that it's not the right thing to do, but unwilling to change.

Shout-Out
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Apes that fight on McCullough's side against Caesar's apes are nicknamed "Donkey", while the humans call Caesar's apes "Kongs". Notably, the most prominent "donkey" is a gorilla with reddish-brown fur. He doesn't wear a red necktie, though. McCullough's Reporting Name for Caesar is "King Kong". Andy Serkis, Ceasar's actor, played the title character in the Peter Jackson version. When Caesar and Luca are checking out the "Human Zoo" with their binoculars, Luca points out a pair of saddled horses, wondering if they're a patrol. Caesar notes that he sees no soldiers... right before his view through the binoculars is eclipsed as the horses' riders attack him. The film wears its love for Apocalypse Now on its sleeve. Aside from sharing a similar premise to the movie about a rogue Special Forces colonel, the scene where Caesar and Colonel McCullough first speak to one another is framed in the style of the conversation between Captain Willard and Colonel Kurtz, and there's "Ape-Ocalypse Now!" graffiti hidden in the compound like the graffiti found at the camp in the original movie. There are plenty allusions to The Bible: Specifically Exodus — the humans enslave the apes to be construction workers and are ill-treated due to lack of adequate food and water. Later the apes escape and cross the desert to a new home far away from humans where they can live in peace. Caesar, like Moses, also struggles to control his darker impulses, and never quite reaches the Promised Land. James Rolfe said in his review that "It's like if you take Jesus Christ, turn Him in into an ape, and then put it in a Nazi concentration camp". Maybe also a Stealth Shout-Out to two of the 1968 Ape film's lead actor's best known films. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end" is from the Book of Revelation. Saint Andrew was crucified on an X-shaped cross, and became a martyr. The x-shaped crucifixes in the Alpha-Omega camp look similar to House Bolton's. The fact that the camp is in a snowy field helps. Maurice's promise to the dying Caesar is near identical to the promise made by Varinia to the crucified Spartacus. note Heavy ironies in this are that Caesar accomplished what he intended for his people but lost his wife and a son, while Spartacus and his followers were defeated and his wife and son were the only survivors to escape to freedom, and Julius Caesar participated in defeating Spartacus. During the opening scene, one of the Alpha-Omega soldiers has the words Bedtime for Bonzo written on his helmet, which is the title of a movie that starred the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan.

Hoist by His Own Petard: An extremely complicated and indirect way on Colonel McCullough because of Nova. His treatment of the infected humans caused some of his soldiers to desert, among them Nova's father. Nova was found by Caesar's group. She saves the dehydrated and hungry Caesar, and spurs Rocket into letting himself get captured as a distraction, enabling the ape leaders to carry out a complicated escape plan. She also gives her doll to the imprisoned Caesar for comfort, and McCullough handles it... which infects him.

Casual Crucifixion
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_db153fef
comment
Casual Crucifixion: Zig-Zagged. Alpha-Omega binds apes to St. Andrew's crosses (x-shaped) as a method of warning and execution. Caesar finds one such ape still alive and cuts him down, but the ape lives only long enough to pass on some important information. Later, Caesar himself is crucified in this manner for a day or two, and is visibly weak and suffering. He may not have survived the night if Nova hadn't snuck him food and water. Caesar is then fit enough to participate in the film's climax, though it's implied his time on the cross may have contributed to his death at the end of the film.

Red Herring: Aside from McCullough and Nova, Preacher has the most screentime out of all the humans. In his first scene, he is shocked by Caesar's mercy and is later visibly disgusted when the Colonel explains what happens to his son, seemingly foreshadowing that he would perform a Heel–Face Turn and help Caesar and his apes to escape. He doesn't, as he fatally wounds Caesar before being blown up by Red, the traitorous gorilla that performs the true heel-face turn.

The Colonel is heard saying he "needs the girl", implying that the apes have taken Nova, who is important to the Colonel for some reason, and are keeping her away from him. This line is never heard in the film, and the apes find Nova on the way to the Colonel's base without her being important to his plans. The closest she ever comes to the Colonel is leaving the doll with Ceasar which the Colonel suspicious, and his contact with it leads to his infection and later suicide.

 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_f52ae5d8
comment
Enemy Civil War: The humans are fighting each other because of McCullough's orders to kill anyone infected with the mutated virus. The Northern army inadvertently serves as The Cavalry for the apes, as they appear just as the apes are escaping, which distracts McCullough's army from noticing the escape. Once McCullough's army is defeated, the Northern army is about to turn on the apes (or at least, Caesar) until they are crushed by a Hair-Trigger Avalanche.

Earn Your Happy Ending: After an entire movie of suffering, the Apes make it to their new home where they will be safer. It's bittersweet only in the sense that Caesar will not live to lead the others.

comment
Humans are armed as expected for a modern military — they wear Kevlar helmets and uniforms, carry modern assault rifles with Laser Sight, fire tracer bullets and rocket launchers, while apes are bare and except for a few modern assault rifles, use shotguns, older battle rifles, bows and wood pikes, and fight on horseback.

Running Gag: Bad Ape comically freaks out whenever the idea of climbing comes up.

Not So Similar
 War for the Planet of the Apes / int_ff66d4c1
comment
Not So Similar: Though Caesar delves into his Revenge Before Reason rather heavily throughout his mission against the Colonel, he, unlike Koba, manages to finally let it go after seeing how pathetic his Arch-Enemy has become and work to help his fellow apes, rather than seek revenge alone.
