2024 - The Year of the Tyrannical Monke Monarch

If I had a nickel every time I get to watch a movie with a dictatorial ape with tyrannical ambitions in the same year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Seriously though, this is a hilarious coincidence and I love it. One is extra large and seems to rule through fear. One is man-sized and seems to rule through personal charisma.

It's going to be an interesting look on how to write two different versions of, essentially, the same archetype.
