Tarzan (Franchise)	comment	First created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912, Tarzan has since swung through dozens of books, films and TV series, both straight and parodied. Tarzan is the quintessential jungle hero: white, but at home in Darkest Africa. Often seen in a leopard Loincloth. Usually somehow clean shaven as well.In the original books, Tarzan was the son of Lord Greystoke, raised by apes after being orphaned in Africa as a baby. After meeting Jane and learning the basics of human interaction, he left the jungle in search of his true love. They married and settled in England, where they had a son, but eventually grew tired of civilization and returned to the jungle.Most of the films omit Tarzan's English sojourn and his status as Lord Greystoke. Instead, he has often been provided with a pet chimpanzee and an adopted son — the latter because the film Tarzan never formally married Jane, and thus was not allowed by the Hays office to actually have gotten her pregnant. (In the books, Burroughs actually did have Tarzan and Jane beget a son, Korak, and one of the silents, The Son of Tarzan, featured this character. However, that same film also explicitly had Tarzan and Jane marry ahead of time.)Tarzan's further adventures generally have one of two plots: either Tarzan discovers a Lost World, or he defends his African friends against European villains. Along the way, Tarzan and his family became immortal, if only in the literary sense.The quote at the top of the page was a Beam Me Up, Scotty!, as Tarzan did not say it in any of the books, or even, exactly, in any movie - he just slapped his chest and said "Tarzan," then poked Jane and said "Jane." (In the books, Tarzan was very intelligent, and by the end of the series, spoke something like thirty languages; from the late 1950s onwards, the films began to usually depict Tarzan/Greystoke as intelligent and perfectly literate.) However, in the 2013 animated movie the phrase finally does appear.The earlier Tarzan novels are out of copyright in most countries, but the name "Tarzan" is trademarked by the author's company. Altogether, that explains why The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen only refers to him as "Lord Greystoke".See his expies Tarzan Boy and (as Distaff Counterpart) Jungle Princess.If you're an author; see Write a Jungle OperaFor details on the novels, see here.

This Tarzan left civilization to return to the comforts of the jungle. However, greedy poachers and other nogoodniks would try to exploit the land and its riches, so Tarzan would have to thwart them. One or two villains were no match for Tarzan alone, but multiples with firearms meant bringing in a tribe of natives, complete with spears, torches, and warpaint, to outnumber them. Rifles may be greater than spears, but "bigger army diplomacy" means the villains won't survive a shootout, so they surrender instead.

Dempsey Tabler and Frank Merrill are about as far from the image established by Weismuller and his successors as you can get (Lincoln was barrel-chested and burly; Pollar was nerdy and clean-cut; Tabler was middle-aged; Merrill wore a head band and looked more like Valentino than an ape man). In addition, since the famous Tarzan Yell was not perfected until Weismuller, the couple of times it was heard prior to him, it was very different.

Tarzan (Franchise) / int_5a59b3a1	comment	Hulk Speak: In the various movies, the ape man talks like this. Adaptations that hew closer to the books depict him becoming fluent in English (and other languages) in the years after his contact with civilization. In addition, beginning with the 1959 film Tarzan's Greatest Adventure starring Gordon Scott, and continuing through the James Bond-influenced late-60s films starring Mike Henry and the 1960s TV series, Tarzan was depicted as literate and spoke normally, averting the trope completely. Some later portrayals would bring it back and play with it, such as the Wolf Larson series which revealed in an Out of Character Is Serious Business moment that he can actually talk normally and implies he only speaks the way he does due to conforming to how the apes speak while the Disney film would have it be used during his early period of learning English.

Though in the book series, after learning about "civilized" humans through his father's old books, he cut his hair with a knife to set himself apart. Early silent films alternated between Tarzan being unkempt and clean-cut. Beginning with Weissmuller's films, Tarzan was clean-cut and short-haired. It wasn't until the 1984 film Greystoke that the long-haired version of Tarzan returned to cinema and most adaptations since have him keep his long hair.

Tarzan (Franchise) / int_67529a41	type	Signature Roar
Tarzan (Franchise) / int_67529a41	comment	Signature Roar Tarzan's yell, described in the book as "the victory cry of the bull ape" but never written out. By far the most famous version is Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan yell in MGM films, so that most later Tarzan adaptations still use the actual recording or a variant or imitation (this includes the Disney version); it is so well-identified with the character that different roars heard in some films (including those pre-dating Weissmuller, or made by other studios) just sound wrong. The Tarzan yell of pop culture is trademarked by MGM, and thus Tarzan films from other studios (some competing with MGM's, or made after) had to use different yells. Tarzan the Fearless had a less yodeling yell, "AH-AAAAH-AH!" Burroughs himself produced his own Tarzan movie attempting to be Truer to the Text than MGM's series, with a different yell based on his ape language in the books: "AAAH-MANGAAAANIIII!", "Mangani" being the fictional ape-kind which adopted Tarzan. A similar yell had first appeared in a Tarzan radio series: "TAAR-MANGAAAANIIII!", where Tarzan was played by one of the earlier silent movie Tarzan actors who had since become Burroughs' son-in-law (and Burroughs's daughter played Jane). When the Weissmuller film series invokedmoved to rival studio RKO, he had a similar but distinctly different, higher-pitched yell. The very first Tarzan sound film, Tarzan the Tiger, predates Weissmuller's first Tarzan film Tarzan the Ape Man by three years, and so it had the cry as "YAAH! YAAH! YAAH!" The very first Tarzan movie was silent, so the yell was only acted out. Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes had "HRAAH! HRAAH! HRAAH!", going for more of a roar and entirely forgoing the familiar pattern. The Legend of Tarzan went for a variation of the Weissmuller yell delivered more like a roar than a yodel. Disney's animated Tarzan imitates the Weissmuller yell, but uniquely starting with a Y sound, "YAHH-EE-AAH" etc. Filmation's animated Tarzan series imitates the Weissmuller yell, performed for the series by Burroughs' own grandson.

Tarzan (Franchise) / int_7f514dd1	comment	Awesome by Analysis: Because Tarzan is technically only a highly skilled human with peak human strength, this trope usually functions as his primary power, especially in the books. He taught himself how to read from books and can determine exactly what happened in a scene by observing. His tightened senses of sight, hearing and smell help him hunt, and his keen sense of touch is invaluable for the acrobatics he uses to get around the jungle. Copying him, other Tarzan Boy or Jungle Princess characters often have heightened senses like smell, touch or sight.

Tarzan (Franchise) / int_eeb2d092	comment	Killer Gorilla: A common adversary of Tarzan. In some versions Tarzan's own ape family has members who fit this trope, and sometimes they are outsiders and enemies of Tarzan's tribe. The original books have both: Kerchak and Terkoz are evil members of Tarzan's tribe, the Mangani (a fictional species of great ape), and the Bolgani (gorillas) are enemies of the tribe.
