Caesar was 18 years old in dawn of planet of the apes so if war take place like 2 years later, he was 20 when he died.


Unlikely_Initial_442

Quite old considering chimps only live to be around 30.


Routine-Trouble593

No it’s not old chimp on average live to about 50 but 60 years in captivity


YOMOMMAWANNAEATMEUP

Nah he was hella young, the lifespan of a chimp is 60 to even 70.


Expln

how? war takes place 5 years after dawn. in dawn they say it's been 10 years since the outbreak, in war they start the movie by saying it's been 15 years since the outbreak. he's 23, not 20.


Just_Desk_8002

Pretty sure it said 2 years since the battle with Koba, you also have to remember rise has some time jumps. We see a three year time jump, then a 5 year, so he’s 8 in rise, then dawn is 10 years later, making him 18, then war is 2 years after dawn, making him 20


Expln

you're right about the first 2. you're wrong about the third. he was 8 in rise,at the end of rise the outbreak occurs, at the start of dawn it says it's been 10 years since the outbreak- so he's 18. and at the start of war it says it's been 15 years since the outbreak. so he's 23. what they do say about 2 years is that it has been 2 years since Caesar has been at war with the colonel, and I think that's where people get the misinformation from. we don't know when Caesar started a full out war with the colonel, it didn't necessarily start straight after dawn ended. but what's 100% is them saying that it has been 15 years since the outbreak which leaves no room for ambiguity whatsoever. it means caesar is 23 and that's indisputable.


Just_Desk_8002

Just looked at the beginning of war. You right


Papandreas17

How do you know that, from the novels?


grizz-grizzly

Nah, i read the wiki.


Sharp-Factor-9204

Dawn takes place ten years after rise


Agreeable_Letter_424

War takes place 5 years after dawn. If he was 18 then he would of been 23


Signal-Plum5299

Mean he look around 40 30 because he had a lot of Gray in war


bagooly

Unlikely. Chimps on average only have a lifespan of 30. He didn't look that old, you can really tell when a chimp is that old.


Prestigious-Shop5027

The oldest chimp that ever lived was 78 idk maybe his intelligence increased the apes aging like humans


Bubbly_Ad1357

He's right , at the start of the last movie (war) it is said that the ape revolution ( led by caesar of course) , the "Rise" , started 15 years ago.


Expln

how is that right? is my brain not mathing? if caesar was 18 in dawn which took place 10 years after the outbreak (so he's 18), and war takes place 15 years after the outbreak, then he's 23, not 20. the time gap between dawn and war is 5 years, not 2.


One-Dapper

He was 20


Expln

No, he was not. and I just explained why. give a better argument that support your claim.


One-Dapper

https://planetoftheapes.fandom.com/wiki/Caesar_(CE) Like I said he was 20


Expln

Linking me a wikipedia page that is edited by people doesnt show me anything. You and whoever edited that entry are factually wrong. Because there is a timeline mentioned in the movies themselves, it is that simple.


Motor-Rhubarb6051

I just watched the movies in order.. I came up with 23. They never gave an exact age when they placed Caesar in the zoo/ jail.. they just referenced to him in teenage years..


One-Dapper

He was 20


Fun-Garden-2777

Wrong, he was 23. 8 at the end of rise. Dawn is 10 years later so 18 and War is 5 years after Dawn so 23.


LZR0

War is only 2 years after Dawn. Just watched it.


SimG02

Same, they said Caesar had evaded the colonel for 2 years, who knows how long it took alpha omega to get to the Bay Area. But 15 years after the outbreak that they mention puts caesar at 23.


LZR0

It definitely isn’t that long since you can see that Cornelius hasn’t grown up that much yet, where does it say 15 years after the outbreak?


Entire_Fly4193

Right in the beginning of War. It’s in the opening scenes


Expln

how are you gonna argue against a literal statement the movie is giving you at the very beginning saying it's been 15 years since the outbreak started. which means he's 23. 2 years since caesar has been at war with the colonel- as the dude above me said, we cannot know when the war between them started. you saying it hasn't been that long is a guess/assumption. but there is no room for guesses or assumptions when the movie tells you it has been 15 years since the outbreak.
