As iconic as a couple of stories are, they’re not without pitfalls.
All the Tarzan stories written by Edgar Rice Burroughs are retroactively Gary Stu and Mary Sue stories in hindsight, due to the fact that not only were most of them written for pulp mags, trashy as they may be, they’re not known for both biological and chronological accuracies at all.
Fair enough, a growing number of Tarzan boys and Jane Porter girls (or the more relevant Sheena girls and Bob Reynolds boys nowadays) are becoming public domain at any moment.
