I recently watched the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. It made me...think.

About Proximus, having another human, a female one that he enjoys having around.

About him keeping her under constant watch, she can't move around freely alone. If it's possible, only with Sylva or Lighting, with her preferring the first one since he's less intended to hurt her and taunt her around.

About him, forcing her to eat with him alone in her room so no one can glance at her. Him giving her everything that he thinks she could like, only to see that she had put it in the pile of staff that he keeps bringing her.

About her, she had tried many times to escape the colony, to the point that the chain at her ankle had left so many scars that the skin reminded her of some strange material. That she's refusing to talk to him for days until he starts to get more aggressive, more violent.

About her, keeping her mouth shut every time he spoke about how great he is.

It would have been more canonical to draw Noah and his tribe behind drowning but it would have been VERY CRUEL

What a wonderful day!

Proximus: she has lied to you.

Noa: she may have a good reason.

Proximus: she betrayed you.

Noa: I may deserve it.

Proximus: you aren't listening to me.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review. More like Rambling and Word Vomiting.

I saw it last night. Finally. After so long!

I personally thought it was good, and a solid addition to the POTA franchise. I don't think it's better than Dawn or War, but I'm willing to bet that by the time the full trilogy is out, Kingdom is gonna be looked back upon as a good beginning to Noa and Mae's story, the same way Rise, despite being most people's least favorite of the Caesar trilogy, is still an amazing intro to Caesar's story.

Some nitpicks. Despite the movie being 2.5 hours long, I felt like the final act came too fast? Like, I understand what people meant with the pacing issue. Suddenly we were in the 3rd act and I was like "Wait, we're here? It's done?"

Now, onto the characters! Let the fangirling commence!

Noa

I loved seeing how his journey and character started and where he ends by the end of the movie.

Him going from "That is the law" to "That is the law. But the law is wrong" was so satisfying.

And him being able to call the eagles to him by the end was great to see. By the way, THE SINGING SCENE WITH THE EAGLES???? LIKE???? It could've been so corny but I LOVED IT???

I'm so glad this movie answered the question of whether apes can sing. Yeah, I know they are only humming, but I'LL TAKE IT. APES CAN SING. YESSSS!

He was just a really nice character to follow. I can't wait to see how he'll be like in the next movie after the events of this one transformed him.

I also think he is the kind of protagonist we need after Caesar. I love Caesar, but Noa is....hmm, I guess you could say softer? More naive? I'm sure he'll get tougher as the movies progress like Caesar did, but I like this change.

Mae

I am a Mae defender. Yes, she did betray Noa in the end. I expected her to tbh. And I understand why she did it. She was right in that Proximus getting his hands on those weapons would've been disastrous.

She has probably been taught all her life nothing but bad things about the apes. She was not going to switch sides just because she met Noa. We still got two whole movies after this. She probably won't have her "redemption" until the 3rd movie. I can honestly go on rambling about her, but I'd rather save that for another separate post.

Raka

I really like him. He's great and funny. I love seeing how he talks about humans and his hopes for humans and apes.

Right before he dies, he reminds Noa "Together, strong." His final words and his necklace as a gift to Noa serve as a reminder. A reminder of a hopeful future where apes and humans can coexist. (And then Noa passing along that same necklace to Mae? Bringing a reminder of that hope for peace into her world? Ugh. So good.)

Also, "He was my village." LIKE. DID HE LOSE HIS PARTNER? MY HEART.

Proximus

I thought he was cool. He gave my mother and I a jump scare at the dinner scene where he slams his fist. Also, the way he was just in awe of the gun after Lightning dies. He has his priorities.

Soona and Anaya

Those two were so cute, and I loved their friendship with Noa.

Anaya broke my heart. In the beginning at the tunnel scene, he's all like "Anaya is not scared." But at Proximus's kingdom, he looks terrified at the dinner scene, and before he goes on the mission to climb the wall, he goes "Anaya is scared" and didn't want to go. Poor guy. He pulled through in the end though.

Although *puts on tinfoil hat* this makes me wonder if this foreshadows how his fear will lead him to make a big mistake in the future movies. Similar to what happened with Winter.

Soona was so sweet. Although I'm disappointed we didn't get more of her with Noa. I saw an interview where Soona's actress described a moment where after they are reunited, they kind of make known their feelings for each other or something like that. But...it didn't happen?

Mae and Noa

Alrighty, I'm gonna briefly put on my shipping goggles on, bear with me, because one has to be a teensy bit delusional for this type of stuff, BUT....

I sensed a....vibe? Not a romantic vibe. They are nowhere close to that yet. But I felt like there were tropes and scenes between them that simply imply a romantic path is a possible direction for their relationship. I will make a separate post about them. I wanna wrap this up, lol.

The ending

I liked the ending. It has me so excited for the future of this trilogy. Now that the humans are able to communicate with others, what will this mean? How will Mae be torn between her people and the apes? Same with Noa? I need to know naooooo

8.5/10 stars (I ain't done rambling about this movie yet. But it's my birthday, and I gotta go out and have some dinner, hehe).

ACCEPTING REQUESTS!!

Hello everybody!

A few years ago, my first public fanfiction, TINY HANDS, launched on Tumblr. In a matter of hours it received massive support, and went on to receive two additional entries!

Now, I'm BACK and ready to do it again! I am accepting requests for a new fandom: PLANET OF THE APES!

Please refer to the submission guidelines on my profile before requesting a fic.

I'm looking forward to jumping back into writing. See ya soon!

planet of the apes doodle dump but it’s mostly sylva. just did these in between larger wips and for overall art practice:)

[maxhp2910]

#KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes (2024): The movie beautifully sets up a future where apes have twisted or forgotten Caesar's legacy, blurring the lines between apes and humans even more. The previous trilogy was about the rise of the apes; this one might be about the dawn of humans.

[diaphene]

oof , i wonder if it was trevathan who told proximus about the vault …

[sketchnskribbles]

Guess who’s learning how to draw Proximus?!?!

[aphrmoosun]

So they already confirmed it. KOTPOTA has made 330M at the box office. We can consider it a successful movie and it can run like 100-120 days in theaters???

So it has already been 24 days in theaters (??? We still have to wait 100 more days for a streaming release and deleted scenes !???? And then the confirmation of the next movie. OMG we are so well fed!!!
