This changes how viewers will perceive pivotal scenes in the film. As just one example, the extended look Nova and Taylor exchange during their very first encounter early in the movie – rather than a moment of instant attraction, Beware the Planet of the Apes recontextualizes this as a flash of recognition. Similarly, Zira and Cornelius' support of Taylor is revealed to have been a result of the miniseries' events.
Famously, in Beneath the Planet of the Apes , a dying and vengeful George Taylor obliterated the world by activating a nuclear warhead. The subsequent sequels vaulted back to the past through suspect time-travel mechanics, with 1971's Escape From the Planet of the Apes sending Zira and Cornelius to the "present-day" of the 1970s, where their presence led to the eventual evolution of the future's intelligent apes, making the entire franchise a closed-off casual loop.
