The Core of the Planet of the Apes Franchise ft. Wes Ball (Director)
"Can Ape and Human live together? and I think what its really saying is Can two people who are different live together?"
Sci Fi’s purpose is always to question, test and challenge what we understand. And Planet of the Apes has always been a satire to the ego of humanity and their hunger for dominance. In a fictional world where Apes became the 'humans'/sentient intelligent species and men are likened to beasts. What kind of world will that look like? What kind of dynamic or relationships can that bring? and the Franchise has always been about asking that question.
Now enter our new main characters. Wes said the focus of the new movies will center around Noa and Mae’s very unique dynamic. A girl and a sentient ape both different but both similar in doing what they can to protect their loved ones.
and there’s nothing wrong if you get curious with how their relationship will develop. Is that something heinous? to root for a dynamic that can greatly influence the fictional world they live in?
tbh thats what the film WANTS- Make you curious. ASK THE QUESTIONS IT WANTS ASKED.
Peak storytelling. All I see is a Director smartly pinning the tension between these two main characters to further hook us to seeing more of the next films they’re making. A masterclass in creative writing too. With that we can ask the questions- If apes were sentient like humans how will we treat them? Who do we root for knowing human nature tends to be destructive? IF we understand each other’s differences can we learn from each other and live side by side? Circling back to the question-
Can Ape and Human live together?
And those questions will be answered through THEM- Noa and Mae.
Theres a-lot of importance in their dynamic and the future that they’ll bring with it. Will it be tragic or hopeful?
See, it intriguesss.
and thats Sci Fi’s purpose. That’s the Planet of The Ape’s message.
Also with the fandom ship or not ship yall just ENJOY this franchise and let its underlying messages speak to you. Thats what the filmmakers and actors behind this film would want too (I feel for them sm and see the passion to get this done and I just want to VOICE out that this beautiful movie and the characters they worked hard on are greatly appreciated)
Lovely art! I love how you add so many details to your comics, is there a detail you added that many people missed? Or is there one that you would like to bring up again?- Youre definitely Very good at putting that old men yaoi in your work. Its like if im watching good omens but its a comic!!
oh, there's always something that some people miss! somethings i'm fine with people missing, because then it becomes a pleasent surprise for later! here's a couple of things that some people (but not all) have missed in oopsie omens!
Uriel was the first one to have possession of the flaming sword!
Azazel has memories of the book of life associated with their fall!
jophiels black pocket square across his heart, and star pin on his tie!
azazels giant goofy bow ribbon laces, their first appearance is in 1941! oh and jophiel cleaning azazels glasses for them

azazel pressing his lips, reminiscent of the EVERY kiss, and he owns a copy of Good Omens
