The satellite network in orbit also remains operational after 300 years without maintenance.]]

** [[spoiler:The above backstory turns out to be a partial fabrication. Mae ''does'' originate from a settlement of intelligent humans, and she ''is'' the sole survivor of a group that was wiped out by Proximus's forces... but said group was a small party sent by the aforementioned settlement on a mission to find the "vault" Proximus is trying to break into and retrieve something from it]].

* TheImmune: [[spoiler:This films reveals that there are some humans who are immune to mutated Simian Flu, being able to retain speech and normal intellect, instead of turning into dumb mutes. That this is the result of random natural immunity and not some cure that was eventually developed is implied by the fact that the people Mae delivers the satellite decryption key to live in a sealed environment and the woman who interacts with Mae wears a sealed hazmat suit to do so and needs to go through decontamination before rejoining everyone else.]]

* MetaphoricallyTrue: [[spoiler:Mae tells Noa that what she seeks inside the bunker is a "sort of book" that will allow humans to regain the ability to speak that they lost long ago when their civilization fell]]. While on the strictest terms this turns out to be a load of bullshit, it ''is'' actually true in a sense: [[spoiler:the satellite decryption key that Mae retrieves from the bunker does indeed give them the capability to "talk" to each other across vast distances by reestablishing satellite communication between all the isolated pockets of remaining intelligent humans, something they had lost with the Fall.]]

* BreakingOldTrends: The teaser shows that unlike the previous trilogy, which mostly centered around humanity's fight with apes as they were slowly pushed to ruin as ape-kind's society rose from the ashes, this film is the first to specifically depict a conflict between two different groups of apes as well as take place at a point where humanity is no longer a ragtag group of post-apocalyptic survivors but feral cavemen-like society (if they have one).[[note]]While Koba was the true BigBad of the second film, promotional material, and the trilogy overall was about the war between humanity and ape-kind and how the two had SwappedRoles.[[/note]]

It is eventually revealed that even at this point in history, there are ''still'' pockets of intelligent, technologically advanced humans, and while not directly challenging the apes, they have very much '''not''' given up on the idea of one day reclaiming the planet. The end of the movie sees all these scattered pockets across the world reestablish satellite communication with each other.]]

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Ape protagonist Noa and his family are of the same species as Caesar, suggesting that they may be his distant descendants through Cornelius, youngest of his family [[spoiler:and the SoleSurvivor of it by the end of ''War'']]. This gives further thematic symbolism to Noa's idealogical and physical conflict with Proximus Caesar, the idealogical opposite of everything Caesar envisioned apes were despite using his mythological legacy for his own ends.

* OneSteveLimit: {{Averted}}. Prior to learning her name, Raka names Mae "[[Film/WarForThePlanetOfTheApes Nova]]", before revealing that ''all'' the captured humans are named "Nova". Given the human Nova was adopted into Caesar's herd as a MoralityPet by the end of ''War'', it further showcases how far removed ape kind has become from Caesar's teachings, that the name of the human girl he showed kindness, empathy, mercy and safety to has become the catch-all term for humans who are basically Apekind's pets.

So the young girl whom Caesar and his friends loved and protected is now the namesake for the last remnants of her species, who are seen as beasts by the apes and treated accordingly.
