Everyone knew the context of the previous films, and it was no secret that this was the direction things were going, but that didn't stop some subtle foreshadowing right at the very start of the trilogy.

As something almost of a mirror image to Caesar's early journey, learning new things and developing his brain, Will's father Charles (John Lithgow) - who was essentially Caesar's grandfather - was struggling with Dementia, and his condition was declining.

At one point he forgot that he didn't drive, and at another he held his knife the wrong way round. When Caesar turned it around for him and passed it back, this wasn't just a small moment of the ape helping his family member - it was a precursor to the shift in power that was about to come.
