So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.
You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.
Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
I haven’t read the book, but that makes this even funnier to me. Lol
Will add that to my list.
It’s actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.
Monke
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then…I don’t know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
If you reach the bird people you’re too far ahead.
Weird how the copper of the slug statue looks older than the other ones. I hope someone got fired for that blunder
It’s, like, even more futuristic copper so it colors differently.
Or maybe version their statue was built with the help of their version of Ea-Nasir.
No matter how many times he’s reincarnated, he always has shitty copper and treats his customers with contempt!
A wizard did it.
Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone “blew it up” and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
I’ve only watched the musical from the Simpsons.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee.
Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius…
Can i play the piano anymore?
Of course you can!
I couldn’t before!
🎶 I was wrong. It was Earth all along. 🎶
Yes, you finally made a monkey out of meeeee!!!
It was based on a movie…?
Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch.
I always thought that was silly. How did it stay so intact?
GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.
It could be that they’re not in the former area of NYC, but the statue made its way to where they are. She’s hollow, yeah? Could she float? Could she have been taken back by the French at some point and then sent to some island like Tahiti?
Or is this movie a distant sequel to Ghostbusters 2?
I think you’re trying too hard to defend a shitty movie. :)
Nah just having fun. I like the theory down-thread that this is the Las Vegas Statue of Liberty.
Maybe George Lucas can buy the rights to the movie and change the ending to that giant sphere. GOD DAMN U2 ALL TO HELL!
For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.
🎵Oh my God, you’re so wrong.
It was Earth, all along.🎵
I love you, doctor Zauis!
Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship
“Hnng hnngyeeess, the Eeevil Council are French! Nyah hah! Nnggyah! Power me up, babyy! Nggyah hah!”

Is this a meme or is this merely a statement of fact about a movie along with a photo from that movie
No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.
Oh, kinda like Mt Rushmore. Nature truly is remarkable.
*Count Rushmore

Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?
Oh shit, there goes the planet.
Suck! Suck! Suck!
She’s gone from suck to blow
That’s an even better line. Very nice
Everyone forgets that the planet of apes is actually las vegas, if the camera where to go a little more to the left we would see a eiffel tower as well
Yeah, I think it’s one of those artsy things they sometimes do to just confuse the viewer. In the book the eiffel tower is mentioned which makes everything more obvious.
That’s the ocean after global warming. They’re really in Las Vegas.
