John Carter isn't an interesting property to moviegoing audiences and there's nothing that can really be doen about it. It's a boring generic name, and Mars is a boring planet compared to shit like Avatar. It's simply too old fashioned to compete, people are desensitized after decades of space-fantasy. Sword'n'sandals in space doesn't draw eyes.
>It's a boring generic name
The name of the book is A Princess of Mars. The humanoids are supposed to be red, the princess is not supposed to be a master swordsman super-scientist.
you're close, but a princess of mars and burroughs' work in general is pretty much the prime seminal influence in countless other works. every individual concept/theme in his books has been isolated, extracted, purified, and reapplied in countless other works. so watching a movie of a princess of mars now is like watching a clipshow of inferior/dated versions of everything you've already seen.
now, if you're autistic, this will be 2.5 hours of happyclap. because if x was good in y, then it would have to also be good in z! nothing ever gets old for them.

mentioned the idea that ERB's work has been done and outdone, and not just that, why ERB's work has been done and outdone. because its prototypical fiction.
brehs the israeliteelry scantily clad woman aesthetic is underrated. even if the israeliteelry is fake it's just attractive. I mean frick how do I find a woman willing to dress like this
>film with a bad ass warrior girl
Nah, we need a film where pussywhipped beta males, like you, are hung by the neck until dead in the public square for placating and appeasing women and encouraging their selfish and psychotic behaviors.
I remember it it was heavily advertised on Disney Channel when I was around 14. It made me curious on the movie, but I never ended up going to the cinema to see it.
it was poorly made and incoherent but I think the real issue is they took what should have been an R rated Conan-esque (but more pulpy) violent adventure story and turned it into generic trash.
>more pulpy
Good luck convincing anyone in the industry that it's possible to do that and play it straight. Between their inability to just enjoy the fantastical, and how many pulp IPs have become free use, I don't see that style ever really making a resurgence
in the books that's just martian fashion. its hot, but the sun is weaker, and the gravity is low, so they don't need much support/protection. why ERB thought mars would be like this is anyone's guess, his books are almost, if not over, a hundred years old.
it was NOTHING like your pic related. there was literally no pulp in its pulp ficiton - which is what John Carter always has been.
instead it was some dull, bland, neutered and castrated Disney Ride made for the lowest common denominator for maximum profit and at least 2 sequels planned.
It was generic as frick and didn't set itself apart from other CGIfest garbage like Jupiter's Ascending.
I'm so fricking horny and lonely.
W + based + relatable
life sucks
frick this shit trash earth
aren't we overdo for a meteor?
Just invite a girl you’re talking to at the moment over then lmao
Not red enough

thanks for reiterating that post
if you think that's a reiteration then you probably have trouble understanding a lot of things in life.
>the book has been outdone many times
>uh actually it was a huge influence and it's been diluted
splitting hairs
except only

We need a film with a bad ass warrior girl with just piercings

You marry her and then have her pose for your artwork like Frank Frazetta did.
Also the books 2 and 3 white+blonde girl who's race thinks their divinity but murderously simps for John was way hotter than dejah thoris
What do you call those nipple metal pasties?
Wish there'd be movie with this aesthetic but it wouldn't fly today's climate
just chain nipple covers
Disney stopped marketng it and tanked it on purpose so they could shift gears into acquiring Star Wars for $4 billion. There's a book about this.
>There's a book about this
What's the name of the book?
jon carters
I remember it it was heavily advertised on Disney Channel when I was around 14. It made me curious on the movie, but I never ended up going to the cinema to see it.
>marketing is the only reason people see movies
yea, no
Why would sabotaging the ticket sales help them get a hold of Star Wars? Not doubting, I just don't understand.
elvis
are the books/film worth a go

The first book is great. The second is anti-religion a tad bit. The film is fun and the woman cast as Dejah Thoris was smoking hot.

God, I love these slave/harem outfits.
I prefer orcs who dont find human women sexually attractive but still let their clothes deteriorate until she is exposed.
WAAARGH! More Dakka!
warhammer is for gays

A Princess of Mars is 110 years old.
God I wonder what they feel like

A /hr/ thread from a while back about John Carter (Barsoom) https://archive.4plebs.org/hr/thread/4279612/
>tfw Connan couldnt be released today
I didn't know anything about John Carter or Princess of Mars and was pleasently surprised when I saw it last year for the first time
Nobody knows who yhe frick is John Carter, including me
i watched the movie and still can't really name anything notable/meaningful about him.

I'm reading this right now, and to be honest it's pretty mid. I guess it was more groundbreaking in 1909, but it's just kind of stale now
