Norman Lear’s All In The Family: Where are they now?

The thing that made All In The Family great was wonderfully, socially conscious entertainment. No virtual signalling, just wonderful entertainment without many pitfalls. 

Archie Bunker’s mother Sarah Longstreet was a serial terrorist, who both knocked up and married his unlucky dad David for money. Said dad was also a mean bigot, even though his much colder hearted wife treated him much worse than others, which explained why he in turn neglected their also unlucky kids (a lot) until a few years before he passed away in regret. Fred Bunker became quite a pervert, but was nonetheless an amicable divorcee later on. Youngest brother Philip Bunker was a real computer nerd, and their much older sister Alma was a b movie actress. 

Joey Stivic became a commuting accountant with a wife, a daughter and a pet cat. 

When Good Times very happily ended in 1979 after a few years of relatively poor scripts and blandly executed episodes, the characters ultimately became different from what they were. 

Florida sadly had her fate coming from the start of her life; albeit one which remained unnoticed until after the show really ended. After the finale, she was bludgeoned into the void by her own, even more virulent, JW kin, themselves also responsible for abandoning her in the first place. Not only was that situation sick, it was also really questionable. 

The formerly (at times) irresponsible JJ got a formerly irresponsible ex hoodlum girlfriend, albeit one who’s only four years older than him, and also a nerd. Optimistically, they’d have been slowly and steadily showing the incredible queer hots for each other, all the way through marriage and having fraternal twins together. 

Thelma and her husband Keith have a nerdy son, who also has a son of her own with an anime fan wife whom he met at uni and whom he is married to. 

Michael Evans renounced his own militant angry young man status for quite a while, perhaps because he was witnessing his more militant former friends become way too drunk to control themselves properly, and that experience might have scarred him and his life quite a lot. He became a calmer but still firm political activist after the show ended, even as he’s been diagnosed with mental health issues as well. 

A look at the Kulafu mythos

The Kulafu Mythos is one of the most iconic Philippine comic franchises. 

The mythos has Kulafu, a Tarzan boy, as its eponymous titular character.

Disney’s Cyberpunk Tarzan: things to do!

There are a lot of objects in the Disney’s cyberpunk Tarzan reboot. 

Weapons 

Spear - A brown spear is the main Tarzan’s improvised weapon, as he made it from a sharp bladed stone, a bunch of strings, and an abandoned brown pole stick when he was about eight. 

Dagger - Tarzan has a brown dagger, which he made from a sharp bladed stone, a bunch of strings and a pole twig. 

Hunting Knife - A brown hunting knife is a weapon whom Roland inherited from his mum. 

Bowie Knife - One of main Tarzan’s friends, the Gorilla Tarzan, has a big steely Bowie knife, which he has inherited from his dead camper birth parents on the day he first visited their would have been holiday cabin.  

Bow - The main Tarzan made a brown bow in order to ensure that his newfound arrows needed a companion to catapult out of somewhere, whereas his friend Roland had to rescue them from a destructive weapons owner instead. 

Arrows - When he was a preteen, the main Tarzan found a bunch of arrows abandoned by a fleeing deceased hunter, which was a few weeks after he was bludgeoned to destruction by grass men. As a result, he had to clean them very carefully. When things seemed to get worse, he improvised a brown bow to ensure that the arrows have something to catapult out of somewhere.  

Grass Rope Swings - The Bankondi of the grass men are the main reason why there are a crapload of predominantly long grass rope swings tied into variable and varying tracts of dying old jungle trees. Roland and the main Tarzan have also made a ton of them in order to hang on them and swing through the canopy even when brachiating, tree surfing or vine climbing. 

Lasso - As most jungle lassos are made out of short-mid sized grass ropes, they are the most frequently shared of the main Tarzan’s improvised weapons. 

Blowtorch -

Sling - The main Tarzan made a sling when he was about seven years old, about five years before he found a bunch of arrows and improvised a bow for them. 

Thinks to see through and think about 

Binoculars - 

Things to wear 

Grass Nappy - Many of the Tarzans each wore a grass nappy in the first few years of their lives.

Loincloth - Loincloths are worn by the many Tarzans in the cyberpunk reboot. Some of them may wear them as skimpy outerwear in order to cover their really obvious briefs, others just have them as they are. 

Disney’s Cyberpunk Tarzan: a cinematic walkthrough

Disney’s cyberpunk Tarzan reboot needs both a cinematic walkthrough and a bunch of galleries.

Here’s a gallery of Tarzans. 

The Gorilla Tarzan, inspired by John and Sal Buscema’s design portfolio, is raised by a pack of gorillas (albeit western lowland gorillas this time, since they’re increasingly better studied in the past ten years alone than within the past fifty) since he was a school child following his parents’ murder by poachers years after they plane crashed into the jungle. Terk is his adoptive sister, Flynt is his adoptive brother in law, and Mungo is his adoptive cousin. 

The main Tarzan, inspired by the version that many millennial and older Generation Zed fans know about, is raised by an old member of the skunk apes, dangerous primates known for their foul odour due to living in swamps. Given his really screwed up relationship with animals, he only has three regular human friends, Gorlak, Vera Jane Parker and Roland Shiels. 

Gorlak was found by chimps following his parents’ untimely death in the hands of loggers, but was raised afterwards by a loving, literate wild family in the jungle.

Disney's Cyberpunk Tarzan: growing up

The multimedia Disney's Cyberpunk Tarzan reboot project. 

Tarzan’s mother was marooned into the jungle along with her husband. Born in Bristol (seven years after his mum and her husband wed), the main Tarzan survived his parents’ murder by Skunk Apes in the jungle. 

Tarzan and Jane are a strong and fiery married couple. Mvumvumvum and Uwauwauwau are the Vili words which mean something wild really well. The latter was deep into her motherhood. Lungululubu is a Vili word which means that she breastfed her growing kids. 

Tarzan: location candidates

Since there’s so much debate, which of the tropical African locations are some of the Tarzan novels most accurately set in? 

The least accurate locations seem to be central and northern Angola below Cabinda, which are often depicted in old Tarzan maps and not much else. 

The Northwest and Southwest parts of middle Cameroon are perhaps the only Cameroonian states controlled by the chiefdom-unaware Brits, which partly explains why there’s considerably more corruption in both of these states than in the rest of middle and southern Cameroon. There’s also southeast Nigeria, mainland Equatorial Guinea, southernmost Central African Republic and the rest of middle and southern Cameroon, as well as much of northern Republic of the Congo (excluding the small easternmost parts of both Sangha and Cuvette, plus the state of Likouala, which are all closer to much of both the CAR and the DRC, than to the rest of west central Africa as a whole) and northern Gabon. Despite not being the most accurate birthplaces and childhood homes of Tarzan, they do strongly serve as the beginner’s bases for some of the Weissmuller-Henry era films, some of Gold Key’s Tarzan comics, parts of WB’s two Tarzan tv shows and a part of its film Greystoke, plus the first volume of Christophe Bec’s Tarzan comic books and a very artsy comic book in the form of Dynamite’s second regular Tarzan comic, Lord of the Jungle. 

Likouala and the middle, north-central and west-central DRC rainforests are often depicted more frequently in Dell, Marvel and older Dynamite versions than in any other retelling, apart from some of Dell’s and DC’s Tarzan comics and a part of WB’s The Legend of Tarzan. Then came along the southwest Ugandan, western Rwandan, western Burundian, western Tanzanian, northeast-central and east-central DRC jungles and woodlands, the beginner’s bases for some of the silent films, some of the Weissmuller-Henry era films, some of Dell’s and Marvel’s Tarzan comics, parts of Filmation’s Tarzan Lord of the Jungle, the 3 Disney films, Disney’s The Legend of Tarzan tv show, Constantin Film’s Tarzan 3D, Netflix’s Tarzan and Jane web show and Andy Briggs’ trilogy of teen novels. 

Much of Gabon and central Republic of the Congo seem to be the next most accurate birthplaces and childhood homes of Tarzan. They are the beginner’s bases for some of the silent films, some of the Weissmuller-Henry era films, many of DC’s Tarzan comics, a few of Marvel’s Tarzan comics, parts of both CBS’s tv film Tarzan In Manhattan and TF1’s Tarzan tv show, parts of the Peter Rodgers Organisation’s Tarzan: The Epic Adventures tv show, and parts of both WB’s film Tarzan and The Lost City and its reboot The Legend of Tarzan. 

Well, the most accurate location turns out to be the Mayombe realm, encompassing southernmost Gabon, southern Republic of the Congo, Cabinda and westernmost DRC. They’re the beginner’s bases for some of Marvel’s Tarzan comics and many of Dark Horse’s Tarzan comics.
