I'm still waiting for a great Tarzan movie. It should be more doable than ever with today's technology, but even the most recent attempt has left me wanting. All a director needs to do is to read Volume One of Tarzan: The Joe Kubert Years, which reprint the classic 70's comics, and use that as a template. I've heard that Disney is looking to do a live action version of their animated Tarzan movie, maybe that will finally satisfy my itch for a film that does the Ape man justice.
Better chance of Tarzan becoming John Carter of Mars than doing a jungle film now.
ReplyDeleteLike this. Any chance of squeezing Raquel Welch in there with them next time?
ReplyDeleteGive the girl a break and have She-Hulk meet Tarzan.
ReplyDelete"Scarifice?" Is that what the Ventriloquist's dummy is called in Italian-language editions of BATMAN?
ReplyDeleteNow, now, Anon! Let's be politically correct, here.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though: where would this team-up take place in a real-world publication? In the Antarctic Savage Land or the Serpent Valley (aka Pal-Ul-Don) of Wakanda?
ReplyDelete@Cary: Arozona? (Meep-meep!)
ReplyDelete@Ross: Suddenly I want to team up Road Runner and Gizmoduck....
@Bob Greenwade: me, like!
ReplyDeleteThey could take on M.O.D.O.K and Harley Quinn.
@horsefeathers: Back when Disney owned Saban, inc. and ran the Jetix block with "The Legend of Tarzan" as one of the shows, I've imagined Disney's Tarzan crossing paths with the Digimon world; maybe that kind of thinking inspired the creation of Keenan Crier on Digimon Data Squad (the second season on Jetix).
ReplyDelete@Bob: *Arizona?
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwade: no, that's John Carter's original stomping ground. Asking him to go back there, after achieving so much on Mars, would be like asking Ross to depict Tars Tarkas as Jeddak of Barstow!
ReplyDelete@Daviticus: Yes, Arizona.
ReplyDelete@Cary: That may be, but this isn't John Carter. It's Tarzan.
Hence, my original (and still-unanswered) question. Is this supposed to be Pal-Ul-Don or the Savage Land.
ReplyDeleteLike Tootsie Pop center-sucking, the world will never know.
ReplyDelete"PUPPY!!!" - Skaar.
ReplyDeleteI was reading Tarzan and at some point this phrase came to me "in an age of Black Panther, there is no place for Tarzan"
