[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5848543, member: 42169"] Felon seriously YOU ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SOURCE MATERIAL! The "Great White Apes" the "cgi alien dog" and the "green skin giant aliens" "villainous plots that revolve around I stab you you stab them we all stab each other" WERE ALL CANNON. The real problem with the movie is that they removed Thark politics from the plot and focused only on the big action scenes. About 60% of the book spent was spent with the Tharks with on Sokoja and then Tal Hajus* as being the villians. The Zodanga only came into play towards the end of the book and were really "grey" villains since the only crimes they committed were being at war with Hellium, raiding Thark hatcheries, and having a prince who was about to marry the woman the main character was madly in love with. Seriously the additions of the Thern and placing the marriage plot into the forefront of the story really helped it and gave it structure beyond "what is John Carter, Sola, and Dejah Thoris going to this month? Read and find out!" * Sokoja hated John Carter and Sola and based her efforts on making their lives horrible. Tal Hajus basically was the big bad of the Tharks who Tars Tarkas was afraid of facing (he killed Tarka's wife) and tried to rape Deja, but only appeared in several chapters. The movie version of him was a agglomeration of all Sokoja's henchmen. [/QUOTE]
