Planet of the Apes

Short Answer: Female head-ape; a hybrid society

Throughout the Planet of the Apes reboots (there were 5 originals [Planet, Beneath, Escape, Conquest, Battle] then one by Tim Burton, then 4 so far in the reboots [Rise, Dawn, War, and the upcoming Kingdom], the main apes have been male.

Caesar fought Rocket, then Koba, then Bad Ape... and all of the major human characters-- good and bad-- have been male primates as well. 

But now we have Nova. So for the fourth and likely final chapter of this series, can we please see how a female ape would handle the situation, for once?

The story has, so far, also hinged on four factions-- apes who want to try to live in peace with humans, apes who don't, humans who want peace with apes, and humans who don't.

And we have seen what happens when those who don't want peace run things. But this is a large planet. So it stands to reason that, just as we have human communities that are monolithic and ones that are diverse, the same would be true here.

We have seen movies in which humans live side-by-side with aliens, the undead, robots/AI, mythical creatures, monsters, cartoons, Muppets, and other... other-than-human groups. So why not a community in which humans and apes live and work together?

Maybe they don't marry each other, but they could build and farm and develop technology together. In fact, with the advanced intellect and extra hands of the apes, I would not be surprised if within 50 years a human-ape community might not have surpassed the tech of the pre-enhanced-ape world (you know, now).

Such a town would draw fire from both humans and apes of the anti-peace variety. So that could be a fight.

And then it might end with three types of communities just leaving each other basically alone-- human-only enclaves, ape-only enclaves, and human-ape hybrid towns. And we'd just leave the story at that point. Agree to disagree. At least no one has to die anyway.

And maybe it's Nova who brokers this peace deal. And says in the future, if there is a dispute, the three types of communities will work out their differences in a committee or council of some sort, so that no one has to die.

Wouldn't that be highly evolved of everyone?
