    Pretty much every iteration of Tarzan I’ve ever seen has him carrying a knife.

    EDIT: Oh, I’ve come to the realization most people’s one and only contact with Tarzan seems to be another in a long line of Disney bastardizations.

    Tip, read the original stories of every story Disney ever “adopted”, most of them are nowhere near as cutesy as DIsney makes them out to be and fairy tales in their original form were usually absolute horror stories.

    They were meant to warn kids of dangers, not to give them Disney princes feelings.

      I’m not sure Edgar Rice Burroughs was going for realism either. It’s just a pulpy action book all about how this noble born white dude is just naturally superior to everyone else just because he’s a lord.
