Sequel for the Battle of the Ape

Battle (1973)

This set in the future when human and ape could live together side by side. Although human and ape live peacefully side by side, human are expected to marry another human and an Ape is expected to marry another ape. Any form of romantic or sexual relationship between a man and an ape are considered against the natural order. This takes places between Emily and Koba a human and an Ape which fell in love for each other.

As the two species continue to rebuild society together, Koba and Emily's relationship deepens, leading to intimate moments behind closed doors. However, their love affair is discovered by Emily's parents, who are horrified by the idea of interspecies romance.

The revelation sparks controversy and division within the community. Traditionalists argue that relationships between humans and apes defy the natural order and threaten the stability of their society. They fear that such unions could blur the boundaries between species and undermine the values they hold dear.

Meanwhile, advocates for love and acceptance argue that love knows no boundaries and that individuals should be free to follow their hearts, regardless of species. They believe that Koba and Emily's love has the potential to bridge the gap between humans and apes, fostering greater understanding and unity within their community.

As tensions escalate, Koba and Emily find themselves caught in the crossfire, facing prejudice and discrimination from those who oppose their relationship. Despite the challenges they face, they refuse to give up on their love, determined to prove that love can conquer all.

This had became a topic of planetwide debate. The recognition of interspecies marriages marks a significant turning point in the debate over human-ape relations.

In states where interspecies marriages are recognized, couples celebrating their love face scrutiny and backlash from those who oppose such unions. Some governments enact harsh penalties, including execution or jail time, for individuals caught engaging in interspecies relations, citing concerns about morality and the preservation of societal norms.

In other states, while interspecies marriages are not explicitly outlawed, laws are enacted to prohibit the public display or endorsement of sexual or romantic relationships between humans and apes. These laws aim to maintain a semblance of order and decency in society while allowing individuals to pursue relationships privately.

Meanwhile, the scientific community's breakthrough in combining human and ape DNA to create hybrids only adds fuel to the fire of controversy. The creation of these hybrids raises ethical questions about the boundaries of scientific experimentation and the implications for the rights and welfare of the resulting individuals.

As the debate over interspecies relations and hybridization intensifies, it threatens to further fracture global alliances and deepen divisions within and between nations. Governments grapple with the complexities of regulating and legislating morality, while individuals and communities wrestle with their own beliefs, prejudices, and fears.

Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, voices on both sides of the debate continue to advocate for their respective positions, each seeking to shape the future of human-ape relations according to their own values and principles. The outcome of this struggle remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the battle for the planet of the apes is far from over.

I’m actually surprised we haven’t gotten a sequel to battle over the years.

Boom Studios had a comic series in the early 2010s that explored Ape society after Battle but still about 1000 years before the events of the first film.
