Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })John Carter is a live-action film released on March 9, 2012. It was released by Walt Disney Pictures and is based upon A Princess of Mars, the first novel in the John Carter of Mars series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is directed by Andrew Stanton, best known for directing Finding Nemo and WALL•E.In 19th century America, a Civil War veteran and wealthy traveler named John Carter has suddenly died. His nephew is instructed to read his private journal...Years ago, Carter comes across a cave of gold with strange inscriptions. Inside, he finds a medallion that transports him to the planet Barsoom, known to Earthlings (or rather, Jahsoomians) as Mars. The lower gravity gives him enhanced strength and the ability to jump great distances. He encounters human-like copper-toned Martians called Red Men, and four-armed, green-skinned Martians called Tharks. Though he just wants to go home, his otherworldly abilities get the attention of a Thark chief, Tars Tarkas, and of a Red Man princess, Dejah Thoris.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Carter becomes involved in a war between factions of the Red Men, encouraged by a third group of aliens, the pale Therns. He discovers that the Therns have Earth in their sights as well... | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| John Carter / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: The main difference between how the green Martians look in the book and the movie is that in the movie, they have fairly human eyes, not big bulbous ones that would have made them look even freakier. Not to mention how many early artworks tended to depict the Tharks as being brutish-looking and orc-like, as opposed to the more graceful and slender version seen here. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| John Carter / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: In the novel, Tal Hajus is a lazy Villainous Glutton who pretty much never moves from the throne he's parked himself on. Here, he's just as cruel, but much more active and in much better shape. The White Martians themselves were a scheming race with godlike delusions, but no more immortal, advanced or formidable than the Red Martians. Here, they are Sufficiently Advanced Aliens with psychic powers to back up their A God Am I claims. | |
