I know a lot of people would be upset by the idea but they’re going to have to change a lot about the character to find any success with modern audiences. The backdrop of colonialism and having the white male savior as the king of the African jungle isn’t going to fly. WB found that out in 2016.
Absolutely agree. I've seen a LOT of Tarzan films but that one is head and shoulders better than any I've ever seen.
Alexander Skarsgard was perfect in the role and was in phenomenal shape. It had a great story and a very good supporting cast. CGI was done very well also. I would love to see a sequel to that film.
You’re right. Tarzan is not problematic at all. Silly me.
Wait that was one of the major points of the article that was initially linked.
Given the problems Warner Bros. had in making their Tarzan relevant to modern audiences, it is perhaps not surprising that Sony is looking at a “total reinvention” of the character. While Tarzan has long been a central figure in pop culture and cinematic history, he was created at a time which supported very different views on issues of colonialism, race, and gender. For audiences in the 21st century, a faithful adaptation of the original source material would raise multiple issues for modern viewers based on antiquated world views associated with the characters. While Yates’ film made some attempts at addressing these concerns, it ultimately delved back into problematic territory by conjuring a film with a white savior complex at its core.
