Proximus Caesar VS Koba: Who Is The Better Villain In Planet Of The Apes?

Which villain did you prefer out of Proximus and Koba? Let me know your thoughts below!

Both Koba and Proximus Caesar were interesting villains. Koba's road to villainy had more build-up over the course of two films and looked absolutely psychotic once he went full villain. Proximus had very little build up and no back-ground story to validate him being evil besides his hunger for power and might have entered the story too late. On the other hand, Proximus also gave the impression of being overexcited and an overload of child-like wonder of the world in his own twisted way which made him somewhat sympathetic in my eyes. It could have easily happen that at some point of the story, Proximus realizes that his ambitions might have been misguided and become an ally to Noa.

Koba. He is considered one of the best movie villains of the century. You can see how close he and Caesar were at the start of Dawn and at the same time, understand why he took the actions he did to betray Caesar during the course of the movie. He was fantastic! Proximus Caesar was cool but in my opinion, he was introduced too late to be an effective villain in the movie.

Anyone else paused and thought Kevin Durant the basketball player voiced Proximus?

Koba hands down. He was one of the best villains in a long long time.

For me the moment that really encapsulates Proximus' character is his reaction to Mae shooting one of his henchmen dead in front of him. His first response isn't to back off in fear, or grieve for his friend, it's to ask her if she found any more guns in the bunker.

In my opinion, if we compare these villains to tdk villains, Koba would be Joker, while Proximus would be Bane. Koba challenges the main character's moral and ethics (like Joker in tdk), while Proximus has his own purpose and creates his own moral and ethics, but it's not suitable with main character's moral and ethics, that's why he becomes main character's adversary. Both of them are great, but I would prefer Koba over Proximus

KOBA ❤❤❤❤ Especially love the scene where he repeatedly says "human work" while showing his scars - it's a very powerful and emotional moment. I also really enjoyed the Proximus and hope he makes a return in future installments of the franchise with a bad ass scar.

I'd like to see a comparison between Red (Red Gorilla from War of the Planet of the Apes) and Silver from the new Movie :D

Proximus should’ve been introduced sooner

6:00 that info is inconclusive, It has also been said that Bonobos are more peaceful than Chimps.

Koba,he had way more screen time and development,Proximus barely shows up until the later half

Koba hands down. With Koba, we get a three movie arc. We see where he starts in Rise, we get an entire movie of him being a villain in Dawn, and then we get the personal and big picture fallout of his actions in War. Twice he set the destiny of all characters into motion, once when he released the virus, and once when he ruined the only chance to build peaceful relationship between humans and apes. Even at his worst, you get where he comes from, and even Caesar understands and pities him, despite needing to stop him.

Yeah, and turns of favorite villain Koba is still my favorite villain of the franchise, ruthless, cunning and more intimidating. And yeah, he does look smaller than Proximaus and turns of feats. I do think that process is more powerful than his ancestor because he’s huge for a Bonobo.

Koba has been developed since Rise for being experimented by the humans and even has scar on his eye. His motivation make sense and we understand why he hates humans so much. Meanwhile, Proximus is introduced too late and he's just being Caesar's fan boy.

Koba by far. Proximus was a bit under utilized in Kingdom.

Proximous

Koba

Really hope Proximus somehow survived. Too good a villain for a one off.

U misspelled proximus in the title
