Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes

The Planet of the Apes franchise has continuously been one of the most iconic and memorable dystopian worlds and concepts when it comes to science fiction. The way that the series has tackled the themes of evolution, the folly of man, and seemingly inevitable self-destruction has been widely explored throughout a variety of interesting and dynamic films.

While the film he's a part of may not be up to snuff compared to the other films in the franchise, in the context of the world and film, Leo Davidson is a highly effective human and effectively etches out his own identity. As opposed to many other humans, who are focused on self-survival in the world of the apes, Leo is one of the few who rallies together the savage humans of this new world and helps etch out a future where humans and apes coexist.

Even when their time in the film is relatively short, it's impossible to downplay the impact and importance of some of the first humans in the entire franchise, continuously acting as impactful figures not just for Taylor, but for the franchise going forward. The horrific imagery of Dodge being displayed and taxidermied in a museum and Landon being a lobotomized shell of his former self are still some of the most striking and powerful images in the entire franchise.

Even as the franchise continues and strays away from the characters of the original series, the impact and legacy of Nova as the most important primitive human continues well into the many reboots and remakes. The name Nova has been passed down a multitude of times to other important, seemingly innocent female humans, most notably to the young girl in War for the Planet of the Apes, as well as a short-lived nickname given to Mae in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
