@socketwench - Funny thing. In the theatrical versions, the mutants retreat and that's the end.

The death of Kolp was actually ADDED to the TV Edit. Parental guidance suggested indeed. :)

@socketwench - So after development on Battle started, there was a edict from on high that this would be the last of the Apes movies.

Instead of going down the original path intended by Paul Dehn (I'll get into that later), the idea was to have a lighter movie that would close off the series.

The original idea was...shall we say...fucking dark.

@socketwench - Some cut lines from the shooting script again really points out that the idea of the apes in the prologue is to make sure that when Taylor inevitably arrives in the future, that he finds a world of man and ape working together. Why? Taylor ended the world. This way, not only are ape and man cooperating, the world doesn't end.

@socketwench - Assuming you're watching the TV Edit, nearly all of the scenes with "Mendez" and "Alma" were removed from the theatrical cut. Putting them back in specifically points to these folks becoming the mutants from Beneath.

@socketwench - "I'm sure there's deep lore about this somewhere someone on fedi would be happy to point me to."

You rang?

Chawmp.

@Tekk - the McRib is one of two things I'll go to McDonald's for. The other is McNuggets.

So I missed out on free pizza today because I slept in. But dare I go for the runner up prize? THE McRIB?

Trans-folk are being made into that enemy.

Aw, yeah. That's the stuff. Right in the veins.

@pandora_parrot - I have a song that got released! I just did the lyrics, but Ashley made it shine:

@pandora_parrot - Someone scolded me for saying "Good for him" as a comment about how he had died.

I fought for a three day hospital stay for nine months, with the insurance goign as far to claim I was an impostor because I was trans just to get me to hang up.

Good for him.

@spottyfox - A dixie accent will make my heard flutter every time.
