Disney’s Tarzan reboot series
Origin
Arriving out of London: Being long outcasted by fellow members from their nobility, John Clayton Sr and his wife Alice (with their newborn baby John Clayton Jr) were going out of London via Dover for an investigation into class struggle in a fictional equivalent of Sierra Leone before going into the then-burgeoning Gabon-Congo Brazzaville black market (both Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville were both southern parts of the retired French Equatorial Africa initiative), because they’re just not going to what would become a fictional equivalent of Congo-Kinshasa for safety reasons.
Freetown Holiday: As John and Alice Clayton took turns in carrying their baby, they finally came to the Sierra Leonean capital of Freetown, where a multicultural class protest was exploding in their own eyes. Tellingly, they sturdily left the would be country so that they’ll go to coastal Gabon instead and then the newly French occupied Congo-Brazzaville later.
Mayombean Mutiny: After a gruesome 1 month journey from the other west central African nations into the border of both Gabon and Congo-Brazzaville, both John and Alice Clayton would take turns once more in carrying Tarzan shortly after arriving into the Mayombe coastal jungle. That’s because they were facing a lot of dangers from a load of murderous twits, who were destroying both their own lives and the dying ship, as well as having killed even a few of their friends along the way, so much so that even the mutineers themselves also feared being killed by fellow pirates and mercenaries.
Building a Tree Shelter: John and Alice Clayton had to build a tree shelter (doubling also as a pup tent) from scratch following such a sad mutiny, protecting their baby, themselves and each other from hippos and apemen, except for curious critters like gorillas. Then they had to face off other kinds of menacing animals.
Building a Mud Hut: Though the tree shelter is more likely for an afternoon rest, John and Alice Clayton would instead build a log garage on top of a Small Mud Hut for 8 months before Tarzan could turn a year old. Though not without threats and annoyances from many beasts alike, they still succeeded in completing that combined goal afterwards.
1 year old
Kala found herself Scared Shitless: Tarzan finally turned a year old, although rather sadly, a terrible situation would explode into something else entirely. Fatefully, Kerchak killed 48 scared shitless Manganis of various sizes and ages. Then he bit the sweet yet fiercely intelligent young Kala on both her arms and legs, sexually harassing her to smithereens, before going for just the juiciest body parts of Kala’s toddler son, the neck and belly, catching and then eating some remains of his body parts instead.
Alice Barfs to Death: While the birth dad wrote his last weekly chronicles, both John Clayton Sr. and his son John Clayton Jr, soon to be called Tarzan, bawled aloud and shed tears so much for a couple of days. That’s because, along with her husband who’d die later, the overworked but brave and buff Alice Rutherford co-developed a lot of the things that Tarzan the survivor would still call home even a few decades later.
Death by Kerchak: A few days after the overworked Alice Clayton barfed to death while in tropical disease infestation mode, Kerchak in turn would kill and then eat John Clayton Sr. in a bloody dick swinging contest, which also involved him showing off the dead guy’s otherwise awesome rifle. Packed with brutal fascination towards the rifle and treating it somewhat sympathetically as if it’s like a pet animal to him, Kerchak the handsome but domineeringly crazy guy would assassinate a few of his Mangani tribesmen afterwards.
Adoption by Kala: Tellingly, since Ogre Mangani society is ruled by and overrun with tyrannically domineering part-time drunkards and cannibals, the hungry and grieving Kala had to eat the rest of what remains of her toddler son’s body parts. As a result, she would indeed place her little Mangani son’s head safe and sound in the cabin’s cradle days later. All those sad events would result in Tarzan being adopted by a moodier but less scared shitless Kala.
Nesting with Kala: Tarzan was given a part of Kala’s pup tent as a result of his adoption. He began to say his first words in a Mangani language of all things and was breastfed by Kala for a few months (until reaching 16 months old).
Walking: Tarzan was already walking like a Mangani by the time he was sixteen months old, but only had spoken some words in a Mangani language. That being said, the Mangani tribes were indeed known for speaking their own, unexpectedly complicated languages that sound more like (ugwug) caveman talk than (hoo-hah) ape talk.
Befriending Keeka: Both Tarzan and Keeka were very young when they first met. As Tarzan was only 18 months old, he was toddling in both bipedal and quadrupedal forms, since adopted mum Kala had been bitten and maimed by fellow Manganis so much that she was largely reduced to knuckle walking, being partially paralysed on both legs, which meant that she would recover rather slowly.
Speaking more Mangani: After befriending the Mangani Keeka, he would finally talk in at least 36 Mangani words by the time he was 20 months old.
2 years old
Moving Out into the Deeper Rainforest: Tarzan and Kala started to enjoy their relationship together as mother and son a year earlier, but as the toddler would use two to three word sentences in a Mangani language for the first time, he still had to move out into the deeper and denser wilderness with his foster mum, once the messed up cannibals leading their tribe would rather be eating their gullible followers.
Tarzan in the Dark Woods; Tarzan finally moved into the deeper jungle with his foster mother Kala, where chimpanzees roam through its mangrove border and gorillas in the quieter areas.
Childhood
3 years old
Brachiating and Gardening: With the help of his adoptive mum Kala, Tarzan had to learn how to surf, climb and swing through the trees. Then he first met a few animal friends such as Durk and his cousin Terk near Kala’s garden, while Kala herself was gardening for her vegetables and fruit.
4 years old
5 years old
Brawl: Tarzan was in a brawl with a bunch of Mangani men. Using his adoptive mother’s spear might mean that he’d be braving a series of horrible fights afterwards.
6 years old
Tantor’s introduction: As he and his animal friends saw Kala clean herself with medicinal leaves after surviving a harassment attack, Tarzan played some awkward games with Durk and his friends, but when he almost drowned into quicksand mud, he finally met a new kid near Kala’s home, who turns out to be an awkward little beast! Such a new kid was named Tantor, a baby forest elephant who waded through the grass and helped his newfound human friend to get out of the quicksand rather quickly.
7 years old
Climbing with Terkina: As Marla was busy with a flighty newcomer named Bonnie, Tarzan and Terkina would take turns in climbing a rather big tree as they would find the juiciest of its fruits later on.
Neighbourhood Ruckus: Although a roguish and pretty nasty guy himself, Gortak still has some sympathy for his son Flynt, which meant that he would leave from his own estranged gorilla community during his long term harassment by his wife Gerla. Ironically, their son Flynt has happily found a few chosen friends in Durk and his cousin Terk from then on. The goal succeeds when Gortak would sadly depart from his community of fellow gorillas, partly due to being harassed for so long by his horrible wife Gerla.
8 years old
Spear Training: Tarzan found a good old secondhand spearhead rock (which doubled as both a hand axe and a dagger for training) abandoned by its own original owner deep in the stinking hot Savannah, where Sabor lived with her mate Numa. He had to merge it with an abandoned pole to make a spear before going back into Kala’s nest hours later.
Dum Dum: Tarzan and Terk went to a salt lick dance party with Tantor the Forest elephant. When they arrived into the dance party, they stayed there as spectators for the dum dum of an old Mangani Queen’s passing. Then he swung with a bunch of monkeys back home.
9 years old
Climbing Alone: Tarzan learnt how to climb, surf and swing through the trees alone on his own, just without his adoptive mother Kala, because the poor motherly Mangani hasn’t been moving much for a month or two.
Meeting new neighbours: Tarzan first met a lonely Zugor. That being said, Zugor was a balding gorilla who wanted to live his last few years in the coolest ways known to the boy at the time. Then he met other part time vagrants such as Marcia and her gang of vagrant gorillas, a bunch of rather nasty chimp bullies whom he tussled with a thin lasso rope, and finally a tired and ageing Borda the leopardess, who now was the mother of a teenage, brownish boy cub named Smak.
Fruit Raid: A bunch of boorish Chimpanzees let their fellow rivals know that they’re here for a political spree-driven fruit raid. Frankly, it’s understandable that, though he has tried to kill the boy in a maddening rush, Klunk still has some sympathetic moments and so is not a complete monster, being stopped by a frightened but assertive Tarzan along the way.
10 years old
Crocodile River Antics: Since Tarzan was self defence training for 5 years, he was now more prepared for new dangers ahead and would survive a gross encounter with hungry old crocodiles. Sadly, his late punk friend Neeta didn’t succeed at reaching that goal and was bludgeoned by such crocs in a medley of mangroves, though in fairness her remains were snacked by Sabor the (often stranded) lioness later. Such a harrowing experience might mean that the boy himself was showing a lot of grief for the first time in his life.
Catapulting Taoug away: In order to finally catapult the boorish bully Taoug away into his home, Terk, Tarzan and Tantor would make a target net with their trunk, hands and feet in their own makeshift playground.
Spearfishing Time: Tarzan finally made his second spear, recycled from an old pole and another short hand axe-spearhead, so he started to whack on fruit from the trees and spearfish on a flowing river stream whilst swimming with Tantor the forest elephant.
11 years old
Tublat Got Roped: With the help of a thin lassoed grass rope they shared together, Tarzan and Terk finally rodeoed on Tublat for the first time! But Tublat would almost kill the two young friends and still disliked them despite their otherwise brave attempts to playfully stand up against him.
Mud Hut Treasure Hunt: Meanwhile, upon finding the mud cabin that his birth parents built when he was a baby, Tarzan gained a hunting knife and learnt how to read some kids’ books in both French and English, but a few hours later, he had to punch a bunch of dangerous crocodiles afterwards, not only with his newfound hunting knife but also with his spear.
Crocodile Attack: Zugor had to face a huge nasty crocodile and then got killed by the notorious crocodile, so that Tarzan would defend himself by fighting and then killing the same old croc who toppled the other crocs in turn. As suggested by a hollering and chest pounding Tarzan showing disgust towards such a croc, the growing boy was scarred on both arms at the same time. Understandably, the horrible experience might mean that Tarzan had to mourn Zugor afterwards and then recover somewhat slowly from the mild-moderate croc related injuries on some parts of his body.
12 years old
Healing Time: Since he’d been hurt in an epic crocodile battle, Tarzan had to take care of himself for a month or two by massaging both his neck and arms with many things like leaves and mud, as well as cleaning a small thin part which sits upon the left side of his forehead, which would become a beautiful healed scar in the process. The neck and arms have also had scars, but they’re less commonly seen. Afterwards, he finally returned to swimming around with Tantor and fellow elephants.
13 years old
Pencil Graffitiing: Tarzan finally learnt how to write some words in English with the help of his newfound pencils and so he would graffiti the mud hut a few more months later. Upon finishing the first part of cabin graffitiing, Tarzan had to splash into the lakeside, where Tantor and his herd enjoyed their surroundings.
Tom Lawley and Samuel Davies’ Introduction: Meanwhile, months after Tarzan finished the first third of his cabin graffitiing (with the help of Kala, as it turns out that her tribe is so inbred that it doesn’t exist properly anymore), Tom Lawley and his friend Samuel Davies finally journeyed into the coastal jungle, just not to stay there for long. That being said, they did trade with moody and dissatisfied locals who otherwise didn’t like their foul behaviour and smell, and so they cautiously move out of their way. Making that a pretty sad memory for Tarzan, Tom and Samuel poached two elephants in turn (who turned out to be Tantor and Dania’s own estranged parents).
14 years old
Pup Tent Making: Tarzan learnt how to do more martial arts in self defence, even as he gained more experience in finding out which trees may be suitable for pup tents and nests. His voice was rather hoarse, and his peeing private parts and the fouler farts coming from his butt have soiled his favourite old loincloth to the point of smithereens. As a result, he had to gain a few more new loincloths to keep himself safely clothed but scantily so.
Hunting: Although mainly a partial vegetarian who also ate fish, Tarzan would start to hunt some animals such as old pigs and antelopes, often to keep himself and his friends full in preparation to become worthy mud crawling warriors in the otherwise beautiful rainforest.
15 years old
Shaving Armpits: Tarzan first started to regularly shave his own armpits, now full of short but rather soft obsidian black hair, so that he’ll just not smell as dirty until the shaven hairs usually grow back. Afterwards he and Tantor swam together in the river stream.
16 years old
The homecoming Dum Dum: Tarzan, Terk and Tantor attended the dum dum of a homecoming queen named Keeka.
17 years old
A Wrestling Brawl: Tarzan and Gortak first met each other again in a wrestling, duelling brawl involving a bunch of hungry lions. As for Gortak, he is a roguish and sometimes nasty bandit who has stolen fruit from his estranged Mangani friends and then left them behind without any fruits until he would somewhat redeem himself years later.
