@ysbaddaden2003 Blonde Tarzans-Lex Barker-Denny Miller-Jock Mahoney-Miles O Keef- Wolf Larson, Johnny Weismuller had light hair then later in his films it was dyed darker, Tarzan in the novels did have dark hair, in the books Jane was blonde.
Of course one thing Jane never got used to in the books was one habit Tarzan never had in the movies, the eating of raw animal flesh and blood. He considered cooked food to be ruined food. It was unclear whether he ate cooked food when they ate together or in his Scottish castle, his London townhouse or his African ranch house. But it was always described when he was on his own in the jungles.
It was fortuitous for him that when he was wooing Jane in the wood, all he could find was fruit.
Tarzan almost raped Jane in the book, but when she responded in fear he stopped what he was doing, because he knew he had to learn how not to be an ape.
So he built her lean-to to sleep in a tree, where he slept outside on the branches, and to coax her into the shelter he gave her his knife to defend herself and to assure her he meant no harm.
Tarzan gave his locket to Jane. She kissed it to show acceptance, and he kissed it while in her hand. She got the impression he was a gentleman.
@ysbaddaden2003 I have been a Tarzan fan over 50 years, and read the novels several times, no where in Tarzan of the Apes does Tarzan try to rape Jane, Tarzan, Jane kiss after Tarzan rescues her from the mad ape, but no where is there any reference that would led one to think rape, for one thing they are standing when they kiss, at no time in that scene does Tarzan try to force Jane into a sex act of any kind. You are accusing a well known writer Burroughs of glamoring rape, and his hero.
This scene was a lame attempt to recreate the slightly disturbing scenes in the original 1932 film where Tarzan treats Jane very roughly when he abducts her.
But on that subject, "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951) had a rape scene; "Baby Doll" (1956) featured a child bride; "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958) deals with a homosexual husband and "Written on the Wind" (1958), featured a nymphomaniac wife.
It wasn't all apple pie and June Cleaver. America was finally starting to mature (again).
A blond Tarzan
What's next
A blond James Bond?

Unless you are being highly ironic, I don't think you've been paying attention. The last two James Bond films featured the blonde Daniel Craig.
