What is the attraction to the monkey movies?

I don't get it. They are coming back around.

Well, sci-fi has been a fascination for ages. The monkey movies started with King Kong back in the 1930s. Now there is Lizard vs. Monkey (Godzilla Vs. Kong), a crossover between two franchises. King Kong is part of the genre of Kaiju, or giant monsters (Japanese: 怪獣).

The carnal, fleshly, sinful world ..... not unusual.

God Permits it until it is His Determined Time to Come Save His People.

If this is a reference to all the Planet of the Apes movies - I don't get it either.

I only watched the original and I did not like it. I don't like that genre.

It is. I get the monster ones like King Kong but the ones like they are people i have no interest in. Ick, i don't even like the way they look or talk, etc. i should have asked my daughter she watched all of them years ago.
Thanks for all the input everyone
I'm still confused as to the attraction? What is it with monkeys walking around and talking like they are people?

I don't even know if it is about the monkeys - it could be any animal - I think some people just don't like people and want us to be replaced.

I liked 2001: A Space Odyssey, the original King Kong, and Planet of the Apes. I'm not really "obsessed" with them.

 

[returntosender]

I don't know, it might be wishful thinking

 

[angelsaroundme]

This is a Christian perspective on it. I don't think he mentioned the bird parallel. Noah is associated with the dove, Noa in the recent movie is with the Eagle tribe. I won't spoil anything else.

All this talk of monkeys reminds me of a certain character in the Discworld novels who strongly resented the term.

Saiyans don't like it much either.

I think it is inevitable. In a million or more years homo sapiens will have made their own survival impossible on a filthy polluted planet. But the planet will continue and other forms of life will survive and evolve. I doubt it will be apes. More like a highly evolved insect.

Naw - we are God's children and the Earth was given to us.

 

[Lost4words]

Lot of monkey business going on in this thread!!! Woof!

 

[MehGuy]

I have no idea, but the thread title made me chuckle.

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Naw - we are God's children and the Earth was given to us.

And we were told to be stewards.

Correct - but God is not a "de-gifter" (I hope you understand my meaning without me using an offensive term. This is also an excellent Seinfeld reference ).

God gave the Earth to His children. The Earth is ours. It will always be ours.

We need to repent of the harm we have done or we will be expelled from the garden

We definitely need to repent. Sin is and always will be the greatest threat to human happiness and flourishment.

But the Earth is not the Garden - and one day the Lord will return and reign - then after a thousand years the Earth will be cleansed and celestialized and be our eternal abode.

The Earth is ours forever. No sin will change that. Nothing we could ever do will change that.
