- Scenes with Will's father that reveal the symptoms of his Alzheimer's disease, especially after Cure 1.0 fails.
- The death of Will's father, who refuses to take Cure 2.0, signalling to his son that it was perhaps time to let go.
- Arguably made worse by the fact that the scene is completely wordless.
- Caesar being separated from Will for the first time at the primate shelter.
- Caesar learning that his mother died.
- Buck's death.
- Due to the Downer Ending described in the Main section, the realization that Caesar will likely soon lose his adoptive father as well.
- Franklin's death. He was one of the only people at the facility who actually cared about all the apes, yet he dies a slow and probably agonizing death as the first victim of the plague.
- The immediate aftermath of Caesar attacking the neighbor to protect Charles (Will's father). After the neighbor's daughter comes out, Caesar realizes that he made a mistake, and goes over to hug Charles. The expressiveness on his face is just gut-wrenching in this scene.
