Virus Mutation Explained | War for the Planet of the Apes

In War for the Planet of the Apes (2017), the virus responsible for destroying most of the human race has a mutation. This video explains the virus mutation that turns humans into a more primitive form.

Nova didn't care about her dad getting killed, but broke down in tears when Mr. Flower Gorilla (Luca) gets killed.

Nova was by far my favorite human character in this series, she was so nice and innocent and brave.

I think the adult male with Nova was not her father, but a caretaker who may be a scientist. Remember Colonel said some soldiers flee and tried to develop cure? There were some flasks inside the hut where Nova was found. I believe that the caretaker was actually experimenting some medicines on her, which explained why (1) she doesn't look sad when the caretaker was dead, because she was being abused for medicine testing; (2) her ability to act more or less like human despite being infected, the medicines used on her might be working to some extent, thought she was not yet fully cured as she still couldn't speak and wasn't aware she was human.

The movie could have done a better job explaining this theory. Instead, we get Nova not shedding a tear over the man taking care of her, to Nova crying her eyes out for an ape she met a week ago and giving him a flower that she remembered receiving from him.

To be fair the colonel's response to the outbreak was reasonable, after a virus basically ended civilisation and most of humanity you can't take any chances, if officials like him were in charge if ebola outbreaks there would be a less casualties

In a future movie, one that's set centuries after war, where Caesar is a legend, the reason humans are treated like cattle could be the apes misinterpreting his ideology. Perhaps they feel that because humans are so primative that they won't be able to properly survive in the world, so maybe they feel Caesar would want them to round them up in order to protect and care for them.

There's a theory I saw on reddit that Nova is actually like the mutants from the original series. That she learns sign language and understands the apes by reading their minds, but she is thus far the only one know to have this ability.

Wait so I'm just wondering, what happened to will the scientist? Did he die with the mutation or is he still alive?

[olivermoran]

My theory is that one day the virus will mutate again, but this time it creates the kind of humans we see in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. That would be a nice twist.

[ericjones]

To your point of the next movie and humans being cattle, remember that "Ceasar's" apes found out from "Bad Ape" that other apes had gotten smarter as well. It sets up a narrative of those apes not led by Caesar will be compassionate to humans while they other apes that did not have the experience that Caesar had will be harder on them... and these to groups will meet...

Just rewatched this whole trilogy and its one of the best trilogies ever made.

[Fancypants]

honestly this was a pretty good prequel series to the original planet of the apes, it makes logical sense, and not too hard to follow how things are coming to be like from the original movies, not like the alien prequels where it's a little too shrouded in mystery but at the same time trying to explain things to leave room for more prequel movies

[doomldn]

I think this is by far the most interesting thing about this story. The fact that the virus mutated which devolved humans in not being able to verbally communicate. It is such a scary concept, when the scene with the virus was explained it literally scared me more than any horror film could. Especially when the Colonel was infected by it and was trying to commit suicide. That part was so sad. I would probably do the same thing.

[LEEyring]

I didn't even think about the chanting thing the Alpha-Omegas had to do every morning. That's brilliant. Also I think you're absolutely right, and the next film will be a reflection of the first Planet of the Apes original movie. I can't wait to see a George Taylor analog yelling about "damn dirty apes." And an adult Cornelius! Wonder if we'll get a Dr. Zira too?

[jake]

I was genuinely sad when general McCullough caught the virus, you can see in him that he knows he failed and humanity is doomed even though we all hated him he had a genuine cause and he cared for the survival of humans

[tokm]

that make sense because in Rise there is a newspaper saying "MARS MISSION" "LOST IN SPACE"

not kidding go watch Rise and you'll is it

[themilkywayuniverse]

Apes in real life are literally animals that are self aware
This mutation is making humans more ape
Can’t wait for the next film 🔥🔥🔥

[dianazuniga]

Well they are making a next movie after this one, this movie was one of my favorites no lie, I was crying at the end

[shap]

the story in these movies are very clever and amazing, just in war a little hard to keep up with some parts

[chrischiss]

What about the telepathic mutants? Was that a group of humans that wasn't infected by The mutated virus (Simian Flu)?
Maybe The virus has mutated again and they became super intelligent like we see in BTPOTA
