As a result, Bryn can claim leadership while making it clear that he did not intentionally commit fratricide.

* HatedByAll: The dialogue and the actions of the apes make it very clear they did not like the idea of Tola taking charge after Khan's death. Once Tola's short sighted leadership get Clarence captured by the humans, and a lot of apes dead, he quickly becomes hated among the tribe, and there are a lot of indications that the apes want Bryn to overthrow him. While he was never selfish like Koba, and had genuinely good intentions, Tola's leadership style of shortsighted actions and not considering the consequences quickly turns the tribe against him.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Even if Bryn endlessly defends Juno from Tola's bullying, even he will struggle to suppress his laughter when the gorilla Marcus throws a large pile of wood, scaring Juno into falling back on his horse after a triumphant Juno declares he hunts.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Deconstructed. Tola sees Juno as this, but this is primarily because he needs someone to blame for his own failure and becomes obvious that Juno is actually a genuinely helpful character. Bryn can also see Juno as this on occasion, though whether or not it is playful or if it is genuine depends on the player.

* GoodCounterpart: Despite the fact that Tola is a clear Expy of him, Tola is actually this to Koba. Tola actually cares about his people's future, and when he objects to Khan's orders to stay on the mountain, Tola points out there is no food left, and is willing to pull a ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight in order to prevent the tribe from starving, unlike Koba who did not care for his own kind. Tola's desire to attack the humans is to avenge the death of his father, while Koba's motives were purely selfish hate. Furthermore, Tola's decisions are always well intentioned and sympathetic, even if they are shortsighted, whereas Koba's motives were purely evil. Even when Tola becomes a villain, he still has moral lines he wont cross, unlike Koba, who crossed every possible line in exchange for power.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: By the climax of the game, Tola's popularity among the tribe has absolutely crashed due to his reckless decisions, with Oaka openly urging Bryn to challenge him for leadership. The final straw for the tribe is when Tola double-crosses the humans when they exchange Mark and Clarence on the bridge, as Tola launches an attack on the humans while his siblings and Clarence are still completely vulnerable, which gets Clarence killed. At this point, pretty much the entire tribe starts nonverbally urging Bryn to overthrow him.
* AbdicateTheThrone: Bryn tries to convince Tola to give up leadership of the pride peacefully without an issue when he finally challenges him for leadership, but Tola refuses and attacks him.

to:

* CainAndAbel: Regardless of how much you try to get into Tola's good books, Bryn will always wind up having to fight him for leadership, and it is mandated if you are going for the GoldenEnding. This is also obvious with Tola's incredibly poor treatment of Juno, calling him a failure, and blaming him for Khan's death and later Clarence getting captured. This bites him later on, if Bryn is on good terms with Juno, and he spares Tola's life twice, Juno will leap at Tola and impale him, fatally wounding him.


Added DiffLines:

* CoolCrown: Oaka wears a circlet, similar to what Cornellia wore in the second film.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: If Bryn spares Tola twice during their battle, Tola will pull an ISurrenderSuckers and manage to catch Bryn off guard. If Bryn has defended Juno and supported him throughout the game, even if there have been a few times where the two have disagreed, Juno will leap at Tola and impale him, mortally wounding him.


Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: Tola's main argument when something goes wrong is to blame somebody else, a pretty big example when he blames and assaults Juno for his father's death, when it was his fault because he was the one who insisted on stealing the human cattle.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: When Bryn asks Mark if Clarence died, Mark, assuming that Clarence is a chimpanzee or a gorilla, cannot answer with certainty because he saw a lot of apes dies.

Added DiffLines:

* WomenAreWiser: Oaka, Bryn's wife is much more calmer and level headed in comparison to her husband, and she wont hesitate to call out Clarence or Tola for their actions. She later openly urges her husband to take over the tribe, and later informs Mark that Clarence is not a chimpanzee or gorilla, when Mark seems to insinuate that Clarence is dead.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Tola's complaint about the mountains being barren of food and the need to go on to the plains is a completely acceptable argument. While Khan and Clarence, and possibly Bryn depending on the player, can warn him of the danger, it is made clear by Bryn in the prologue that there is little food left on the mountain, so Tola's decision to go onto the plain is utterly acceptable.

* BigBrotherBully: Tola is this to Juno, and so can Bryn, if the player chooses, though he wont be as bad.
* BigBrotherInstinct: In stark contrast to Tola, (and it is mandated to get the GoldenEnding), Bryn can endlessly defend Juno from Tola's bullying and defend and try to reassure Juno when he feels like a failure, a prime example being when Juno feels guilty Clarence got captured.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: The game primarily takes a GreyAndGrayMorality approach, and it only becomes this towards the end of the game if the player is going for the GoldenEnding of peace between humans and apes with all characters.
* CainAndAbel: Regardless of how much you try to get into Tola's good books, Bryn will always wind up having to fight him for leadership, and it is mandated if you are going for the GoldenEnding.
* CompositeCharacter: Obviously, given the film it is based on.
** Bryn is one to Caesar and Maurice, clearly being respected in the ape tribe while not being the leader.
** Tola is clearly one to Koba, and also Doctor Zaius and Aldo given his aggresive behaviors and recklessness.
** Clarence is obviously one to Maurice.
* GoodCounterpart: Despite the fact that Tola is a clear Expy of him, Tola is actually this to Koba.

Even when Tola becomes a villain, he still has moral lines he wont cross, unlike Koba, who crossed every possible line in exchange for power.
* DoomedByCanon: Regardless of the player's decisions, Khan and Clarence will die at different points in the story.
* GenreShift: While the reboot version of the Apes franchise, which this game clearly is a part of, focused on the environmental aspect of the franchise, such as animal testing, this game deals with the issue of race that the original film series portrayed rather overtly. One scene where this is shown is where Clarence is almost lynched, and will be lynched if Byrn does not take Mark captive to give Jess a bargaining chip.
* GeneralFailure: Tola's decision to launch an attack on a prepared town to avenge Khan's death ends with a lot of apes dead and merely provokes the humans to retaliate. Clarence openly admits the assault is a fool's errand, and the player can have Bryn call Tola out for launching the attack in the first place.
* KilledInSelfDefence: When Bryn informs the apes of the arrival of the human army, and urges the apes to join forces with Jess's humans to ambush them, Tola proceeds to attack Bryn completely unprovoked, even if Bryn has agreed with Tola's decisions. As a result, Bryn can claim leadership while making it clear that he did not intentionally commit fratricide.
* RealityEnsues: The dialogue and the actions of the apes make it very clear they did not like the idea of Tola taking charge after Khan's death. Once Tola's short sighted leadership get Clarence captured by the humans, and a lot of apes dead, he quickly becomes hated among the tribe, and there are a lot of indications that the apes want Bryn to overthrow him. While he was never selfish like Koba, and had genuinely good intentions, Tola's leadership style of shortsighted actions and not considering the consequences quickly turns the tribe against him.
* TheResenter: It becomes apparent especially in the later half of the game that Tola deeply resents the favor Bryn had with Khan along with his popularity in the tribe. This is not helped by the fact that Tola is well aware that the apes want Bryn to be the leader, even if they will not say so openly.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Tola becomes the ape leader after Khan dies, and he quickly proves to be a pretty poor one, making incredibly shortsighted decisions that largely don't benefit the tribe at all. Tellingly, this is one of the few times this happens due to natural succession, as Khan declares that as Tola is the eldest, he will succeed him.
* TheDogBitesBack: Throughout the entire game, Tola endlessly bullies Juno, treats him like dirt, and often calls him a failure, throwing the blame on him for Clarence getting caught. If Bryn has defended Juno from the start, he will aid Bryn against Tola in their battle and help make the fight easier.
* WellDoneSonGuy: It is made pretty obvious that Tola has always wanted his father's approval, and that this desire to do his father proud is one of the main reasons why Tola makes such shortsighted decisions.
* YouKilledMyFather: Khan's death early in the game results in Tola desiring to avenge him, which drives his main actions throughout the rest of the game, culminating in his fight with Bryn.
