It’s clear that Cesar feels abandoned by Will when he’s forced to leave Cesar at the sanctuary. They do have a father/son relationship, despite being different species.

A man injects his ill father with an experimental drug. Since his father has late-stage Alzheimer’s, it’s implied he could not consent to this treatment.

Apes are given experimental drugs that increase their intelligence.

Autism is listed as a “disease” and equates rates rising as a bad thing (for context: in reality changes to the diagnosis criteria made getting one a little easier which allistics went (well) apeshit over and basically treated it like it was an epidemic)

Cesar and the apes are finally free in the Redwoods. Will makes peace with Cesar and they say goodbye, which ends the film on a high note.

However - the mid-credits scene indicates that humanity is doomed because a very deadly virus that kills humans (but not apes) has started to spread worldwide. Ominous.
