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

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

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.

Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?

Fr*nch sent them one, duh

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

🎵Oh my God, you're so wrong.

It was Earth, all along.🎵

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.

So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.

You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.

Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.

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

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

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

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

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

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

*ding*

A wizard did it.

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.

You maniacs, you blew it up
