Lets talk about Nova for a bit. I find it really interesting that Raka does not know why all humans are named 'Nova', but confirmed it definitely has to do with our sweet Nova who Maurice adopts in War.
I like to think that Caesar's clan started calling humans Nova as a way to honor her. She did help Caesar at one of his lowest points and contributed to them escaping the Colonel. She must've lived with them for the remainder of her life, and the apes accepted her as one of them. It would be nice to get more clarification later on. I will cry if this ends up being true lol
The Nova name does get depressing tho. As we all remember, Nova was infected when the virus started mutating and her cognitive skills were being taken from her. It was so sad that this little girl could not speak but thankfully, Maurice was teaching her sign language and she was learning. In kingdom, obviously the virus got worse and now the human population (aka Nova's and Echo's) is hanging by a thread (Or so we think we don't know how many other bunkers are out there lol) It's crazy to think that this virus that was meant to be a cure for a disease in the first place; became the downfall of humanity.
Look the James Somerton thing is Alot but it is actually kinda important you guys don't forget that the dude's only original thoughts was WHOLESALE MISOGYNY. Mostly bc I know a weird amount of you would agree on his points bc he didn't call anyone a bitch or cow.
Thinking about how crazy it must've been for nova if this is canon

Imagine finding your CRUSH in a dingy CELL in his own BASEMENT battered and bruised and then being trapped inside with him in said basement and after days of starvation being driven to insanity and forced to eat him for survival
This poor girl had to EAT HIM. She didn't know when she was going to be able to leave, she didn't know if they would even be able to survive. Hell she didn't know if Sam was going to come back and kill them himself
Imagine how heartbreaking that had to be. To tear someone you loved with your own teeth.
