A wizard did it.

Is this a meme or is this merely a statement of fact about a movie along with a photo from that movie

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 hours ago

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.

Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship

Are WE serious?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago

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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Whatever, but I know the commander because he's my pal. Don't think you know something about the commander. Here's a picture.

It turns out, that on their planet, the apes have made an exact replica of the statue of liberty

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The bigger plot hole is that this is not consistent with any global warming or giant earthquake. Rising sea levels would not have a beach and rocky formation right next to statue of liberty. And a crazy violent earthquake that would move land and rock well above the statue of liberty and right next to it, would have knocked the statue over.

See the other comment about Las Vegas

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

That’s the ocean after global warming. They're really in Las Vegas.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

2001’ sea level rise, climate change is worse than I thought.

This is either satirical or the biggest WHOOSH I've seen so far this year.

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, kinda like Mt Rushmore. Nature truly is remarkable.

It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

Ah, Gene Roddenberry must've written the movie then.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago

Just a coincidence, it was actually shaped by erosion

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?

Got there via worm hole, not plot hole.

They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.

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

More confusing is how it ended up next to cliffs on a shore line when it lives in a marshland enviroment

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

She may have just walked there, as seen in the documentary Ghostbusters 2.
