Added DiffLines:

** Rocket using himself as a distraction to allow Nova to escape. He even takes on Red, a gorilla twice his size, and gets brutally beaten for it, just to protect his friends.


Added DiffLines:

* Bad Ape considers everyone else a friend almost immediately. When they enter his hideout, he treats Caesar and his gang with utmost hospitality and is extremely glad to finally have other apes for company.

* Despite all the terrors they've faced, there's still hope for mankind. The apes have shown willingness to coexist with peaceful humans even after the war with Alpha-Omega, and if Nova's behavior is anything to go by, the mutated Simian Flu strain doesn't ''actually'' reduce intelligence in humans all that much, if it even does at all.

** Throughout the entire scene with Bad Ape, Caesar never once shows annoyance or impatience with Bad Ape, despite his goofy mannerisms. Indeed, when Caesar asks him if he can take him to the human base and Bad Ape refuses, despite being annoyed, Caesar clearly emphasizes with his reasons, and restrains Rocket when he tries to coerce Bad Ape.

** Him giving Nova (who he had only just met) his parka because she's cold is another heartwarming moment. A slightly bonkers hermit he may be, but he's a NiceGuy through and through.

* Whilst Bad Ape's not too thrilled about the idea of going back to the army base and has to be convinced into helping, he does so anyway and never ''once'' even considers abandoning his new friends, though Maurice does have to scare him into helping once. Talk about loyalty.

* Just about any time Rocket and Caesar are onscreen together. If you've been following the films up to this point, you'll remember how Rocket bullied and tormented Caesar in the first film when he was first brought to the ape shelter, only for Caesar to win Rocket over with a combination of SummonBiggerFish and TastesLikeFriendship. Now, Rocket is Caesar's right-hand-Ape, best friend, and brother-in-arms. Rocket's utter loyalty to Caesar is amazing to behold.
* Similarly, Maurice. Caesar's oldest Ape friend is still by his side, and still looking out for Caesar and providing advice.

Despite being DarkerAndEdgier than the previous two movies, there's still plenty of D'awws to go around:

* Maurice and Nova. Nova can't speak because of the Simian Flu, and Maurice starts teaching her sign language so she can communicate.
** Particularly, during the excavation for the Ape Escape from the "Human Zoo," Maurice tells Nova she's very brave, the sign for which is triumphantly thrusting both arms in the air. Nova replies hesitantly, which is subtitled as "Brave?" Maurice thrusts his arms up again, with more vigor, correcting her: "Brave!" Nova replies in kind, "Brave!" Then Nova asks if she's Ape, too. Maurice replies by officially naming her Nova, speaking for only the second time in the entire franchise.
* Lake telling all the Apes to quickly get back to work when [=McCullough=] threatens to kill Caesar if they don't.
* Nova sneaking into the "Human Zoo," finding Caesar, giving him water, and then getting food the other Apes had stashed away for him and bringing it to him. Finally, she joins the Apes in the "Apes Together Strong" gesture.
