The Shōnen Jump meme worthy implications of Tarzan

Now, if anyone can remember watching Disney’s Tarzan this frequently? If so, remember that the Johnny Weissmuller movies were much further from the sources (except the canon elements) than even the Disney films and tv show. That’s why the Disney version has become the most accessible and successful depiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan brand in recent years, admittedly very loose but but enough not to offend most of the staunchest relative purists, who have forgiven the Disney version for that reason.  The same might not be said for the canonists, since they frankly do not publicly tolerate anything that’s not canon, which is perhaps why they still basically revise the frick out of canon Tarzan in order to keep the soul frying fanservice as the only intact point of the story, partly thanks to the Shōnen Jump meme worthy implications of the ERB Universe Tarzan being an orc-like destroyer of both humans and nonhumans alike.

Why do we?

Isn’t it interesting when you’ve been looking for a ton of forgettable characters.

I think we have to understand that

It’s now become clear that the original jungle books of Rudyard Kipling are for almost everyone but babies, mainly thanks to the Disney Jungle Book franchise.
