This was 20 years before every genre film was automatically assumed to be part of a trilogy. I think the time discrepancy is just a non-issue.

Again, this was after the entire Planet of the Apes franchise, so I don't know where you get this idea.

But the Planet of the Apes was set in the future, the further future, in the past, in the present, and then a different contradictory alternate future. I don't think it's a fair comparison.

My point is that is was a film franchise where characters and plot carried over from one film to another in a decade when you suggested that no one had thought of film franchises or debated continuity yet. Also Battle for the Planet of the Apes is not a different contradictory alternate future. I don't know where you got that idea.
