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.
Why didn’t the humans in Ice Age have beards??
Some people don’t grow facial hair, my dude
TIL Tarzan is Japanese or Scandinavian.
Scandinavian.
Say what now?
Ah yes, the famously beardless Vikings came also first to my mind!
Most Native Americans have a rough go of it too. My buddy in the army shaved like once a week and even that was barely some fuzz over his upper lip.
Yeah I was just trying to do a joke.
Why is Jesus Christ represented white and pale as fuck?
Because of Tarzan? 😱
Hey, have you ever seen Jesus and Tarzan in the same room?
Tarzan is actually just Jesus with his top taken off and his hair messed up. He fooled everyone like that and later inspired Clark Kent to do the same.
