Disney’s Tarzan reboot: rules to follow

The ERB Inc Tarzan canon doesn’t even receive a ton of live action adaptations anymore, whether official or not. Even a lot of Tarzan’s more successful Expies are technically making fans crave for more (but not way too much) by exploring their own niches, and that’s okay for them, since the ERB Inc Tarzan canon is way too big to compete with them nowadays. The many trademark shenanigans that Tarzan and his wife Jane Porter carry along are both responsible and culpable as well.

A cyberpunk take on many Tarzan variants (but mostly on the Disney franchise instalments, which currently remain much better known than even the Weissmuller films of decades ago) will have to be made for nerds of many ages and stripes in the future. It has a large cast of main heroes, which is itself a clunky feat. While it’s okay not to defend really warped views on the mythic space as commonly imagined by fellow fans regardless of age, diversity is still a steady and much needed goal.
