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.
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.
Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius…
Can i play the piano anymore?
Of course you can!
I couldn’t before!
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.
Is this a meme or is this merely a statement of fact about a movie along with a photo from that movie
Are you serious?
Are YOU serious?
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!
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.
Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?
Suck! Suck! Suck!
She’s gone from suck to blow
That’s an even better line. Very nice
It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It’s not that deep.
I want to think this whole thread is just whimsical, but I have to know for sure - y’all get that it’s future Earth, right?
Interesting theory.
Still not sure if you’re serious, but check out the rest of the movies or read this.
In the original novel it’s an alien planet where apes dominate humans, but in the movies humans in the near future on Earth use intelligent apes as slaves until the apes revolt and take over. Eventually a nuclear apocalypse destroys that civilization, which is followed by the less advanced one seen in the first movie. Rod Serling came up with the ending that made it future Earth.
And in the last movie they set off a doomsday weapon that destroys the whole solar system
Wow, that’s some serious doomsday shit. Tbh I burned out on the franchise and haven’t seen that one.
I think they are talking about the original set of movies. Ya thought it was only the new ones that got milked? Fuck no the original one got milked hard.
Yes it was the original set. I think there were 3-4?
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.
For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.
No tracking
I hate… Every ape I see, from chimpan-a to chimpanzee, you’ll never make a monkey out of meee.
