Caesar is one of the greatest adaptations of the growth of a fictional leader. If you watched the entire series of this reboot, his trials and tribulations show how he progresses in a just and intelligent leader. What I find even more interesting are the power dynamics that you need to maintain to hold your place as a leader. It is not about strength, it is about respect and that is earned.

Excellent point. I also liked how the colonel showed what a leader could become... if he loses his humanity.

Yeah, I like the different view points of leaders. Each one becomes a leader through different methods (different passions as well, they did not choose to be a leader but were more so had it forced on them) and you also see the subjects and followers have a different level of devotion. From the colonel, Koba, Rocket, etc.
