Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!

Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.

I've only watched the musical from the Simpsons.

I always thought that was silly. How did it stay so intact?

No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh, kinda like Mt Rushmore. Nature truly is remarkable.

It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It's not that deep.

Buy why is it human? I'm just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

Just a coincidence, it was actually shaped by erosion

I want to think this whole thread is just whimsical, but I have to know for sure - y'all get that it's future Earth, right?

It's actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.

They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.

That’s the ocean after global warming. They're really in Las Vegas.

They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean copper is an expensive metal these days. Probably make mint selling Lady Liberty for scrap.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately she’s hollow, like a shitty chocolate easter bunny.

Everyone forgets that the planet of apes is actually las vegas, if the camera where to go a little more to the left we would see a eiffel tower as well

These themed hotels are getting out of hand

No! They did it! They blew it up!

And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?

And then the birds took over and ruined their society.

And then the cows. And then...I don't know, is that a slug, maybe?

Noooo!

GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

I like how the only thing left of fucking New York City is made of iron and thin sheets of copper.

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 11 points 17 hours ago

For reasons not directly related to the movie, I just so happen to have this on hand.

More confusing is how it ended up next to cliffs on a shore line when it lives in a marshland enviroment

[–] djnattyp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

She may have just walked there, as seen in the documentary Ghostbusters 2.

Sold to aliens for scrap by a bankrupt country (for 10 hamburgers, which is approximately 10 hamburgers in todays hamburgers).

This is either satirical or the biggest WHOOSH I've seen so far this year.

Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship

[–] hilly@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

It turns out, that on their planet, the apes have made an exact replica of the statue of liberty

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

What they don't explain is how everything else is gone, and even the entire coastline is different, but somehow the upper half of that particular copper statue has somehow survived

A wizard did it.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

The bigger plot hole is that this is not consistent with any global warming or giant earthquake. Rising sea levels would not have a beach and rocky formation right next to statue of liberty. And a crazy violent earthquake that would move land and rock well above the statue of liberty and right next to it, would have knocked the statue over.
