War For The Planet Of The Apes: 15 WTF Moments
1. Wait, Caesar DIES?!
Even though he's very messianic, the revelation that Caesar actually dies at the end after helping his extended family escape from the base and make their way to their new utopia beyond the desert is still a massive shock.
Just think of poor like Cornelius: having already watched his mother and older brother murdered, he then has to watch Caesar die too, mere moments after he was reunited with him. That's cruelty too far.
And even more shocking is the fact that Caesar even makes it to the monkey paradise. Blue Eyes establishes early on that the perfect place is miles away, across a desert and is an arduous journey humans wouldn't be able to make, and yet a monkey on the verge of death is able to... That's a little inconsistent at the very least.
