THE CONSPIRACY APES: DEATH OF THE PLANET OF THE APES teased!

[Nostalgiabuff]

sounds really cool. i thought the first book was really well done

[apes3978]

Yeah, parts of it sound cool but for myself, I'm not liking the idea of ape/human hybrids... I know they were toying with the idea for POTA:Revisted (which became BENEATH) but I thought it was a good idea that they didn't include them... Time will tell if Drew has what it takes to make the idea palatable...

i don't know....i always thought that there was so much cool stuff that could, and should have been explored in the Planet of the Apes movie universe. the tv show had the potential but they screwed it up by leaving humans as intelligent and subservient to the apes

I agree with you that there was a lot of territory they could have explored... The TV series could have been a good place to do it but it was canceled too quickly to even really get itself established... I read somewhere that part of the reason they kept humans articulate was so they'd have more room for storylines and to allow for guest stars (plus you can only have so many cornfield hunts)... I can see why they did what they did but the focus should have been more on the apes, and less on the astronauts...

Have you ever read the fan comic "Beware the Beast"? It's set in the "universe" of PLANET/BENEATH and is very well drawn and a good story too...
