DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - 10 Years Later | A Lesson in Leadership (Video Essay) 

You always have such a profound and impactful way to explain the characters in these new films excellently. And I'm eternally grateful for your contributions.

the lesson of the day is keep your friend's close and your enemies closer

My favorite, so timeless I love the nostalgia it gave me when Cesar goes back to his childhood house, well I love the whole movie and part 3 it's dark and cold and I love how they brought back coba haunting Cesar

Koba will remain one of the greatest movie villains of the 2010s.

you been spoiling us with more ape content this month and im all in for it‼️

10 years on the CGI is better than some movies today. This and How To Train Your Dragon 2 were the best movies to come in 2014!

I get so excited seeing new uploads from you ❤

This is easily my new favorite RU-vid channel. Great to see you diving all in on a franchise that deserves it

I love those type of villains who start of as the hero's close friend like with Rick and Shane in Walking Dead or Magneto and Professor X, but because of different views on how to deal with survival it causes the friends to become enemies and that is so well executed with Caesar and Koba in Dawn.

I'm still bummed that Malcolm was killed by the colonel in between Dawn and War

I love how well written these movies are!

Koba was a tragic character.

I see a bright future for this channel considering the possibilities of more sequels from wes ball. DO MORE JOSH

Koba's villainous descent in Dawn is definitely well-written. While it doesn’t excuse his actions, we’re able to understand and empathize Koba. At first, Koba’s motivation for his actions starts out as cynicism towards not only Caesar's goal in peace between both apes and human, but also the idea that the humans could be trusted, especially due to his experience of abuse from humans. But as the movie progresses after usurping leadership over the apes from Caesar, we see that Koba's motivation was really just for himself and to feed his undying, vengeful hatred towards humans. And he’s not above killing apes who defy him and are loyal to Caesar to achieve it, as exhibited when Koba killed Ash (Rocket's son) after he refused to kill a pair of humans due to his loyalty to Caesar. Koba went from being Caesar's close brotherly ally/friend to becoming Caesar's evil counterpart, polar opposite, archenemy, and greatest enemy. He’s what Caesar would’ve become if Caesar wasn’t taken and cared for by his adoptive father Will.

Great breakdown of the film. 👍 Maybe someday we could get a Koba vs. Proximas Caesar video similar to the Caesar vs. Caesar video we got recently.

Koba is such a badass villain.

The way he killed Rocket's son, and no really mentioned him after, bothers me. great video as always.

My favorite of the franchise. I loved seeing the ape colony in their prime, you know, before it all went to sh**. 😅 The movie novelization book is quite good as well.

His left eye was also dead, so I assume he was not stronger than Caesar

Great video really enjoyed. would love to see a deep dive on some of these characters such as Ceaser and Koba

My favorite 2014 movie

Another great video! Love that movie.

Ngl ceasar watching the video of will and saying ‘ a good man’ is the only time I’ve cried during a movie.

Loved the new format. Keep it up!

Will there be a similar video about part 3?
