Also, keep in mind that in Jane’s upbringing, the societal standard was to never be forward or open with feelings, and playing coy was the way to reciprocate feelings. Also, he was on the forbidden side of things as he would not be a “suitable” match for Jane, once again, because if societal standards. Yes, Jane balked at the status quo multiple times, but you can still see that she cares about standards. From her bustle to her parasol, you can tell she is a lady, albeit an educated one. This also plays into her non-reciprocation of Tarzan’s feelings and her hesitation to even stay in the end, until her father gives his blessing and permission to pursue what is truly in her heart.
Not to mention her expressions show she is interested in Tarzan. Jane could be somewhere on the asexuality spectrum, or at least not want to act irrationally.
Agreed! I feel like she shows clear attraction to him fairly early on, but feels embarrassed by it because she isn’t really even sure how “human” he is at first, and marrying a wild man who was raised by apes in the jungle would be looked down on by people in England. I think one of the sequel movies even addressed her dealing with her friends coming to visit and judging her and Tarzan’s relationship. She was fighting herself and didn’t want to throw the life she knew away on a whim, but she definitely reciprocated pretty early on, I think!
"Why did tarzan fall in love with jane?"
Tarzan "look Jane it's you or the gorilla over there"
Oh this one gave me a good laugh 😂
Lmao
I always felt that Tarzan didn't really fall in love with Jane at first. I feel like he was more intrigued that they're was another creature like him. Then when she teaches him about humans, that's when he grows feelings for her
“As a lusty old woman” 😂😂😂😂😂 for real though, same!
Tarzan is by far one of Disney's most underrated classics ❤️
It really is so wonderfully done and so under valued!
@@TheFangirlWatches they're actually is a TV show. Check it out I think you would like it
Yes it is!
I enjoyed the legend of Tarzan & Tarzan 2 movie
I also did a Tomba! Tarzan & Jungle Book parody story base on these one1 you'll never gets what it's called
“Every gesture, every move that she makes, makes me feel like never before. Why do I have this growing need to be beside her?”
I think Jane started reciprocating a bit earlier than the end. The scene where Tarzan shows her the birds and the vine swinging, I think, is when she starts thinking of Tarzan as more than a subject of study or even a friend.
Consider, yes, she wanted Tarzan to take her to the gorillas. However when she’s showing him the slides she leans a head on her cheek in admiration of him. She likes teaching him, she likes sharing with him and that Tarzan welcomes what she has to give him.
Just as guy’s may have a hero instinct, I think women have a similar instinct on the other end. Providing in their own way.
When Tarzan takes her to see the birds and swing on the vines with him, that’s when she sees he has true empathy, that he understands her and has parts of himself he can share with her outside of “merely” protecting her from danger. (Which, if we recall, she hired Clayton to do exactly that and he ain’t exactly a picture of chivalry.)
Her looking away when Tarzan looks into her eyes on the vines, again, to me, I think is more her reluctance to move forward on Tarzan for an understandable amount of reasons. She has a home and life so very far away, concern for him and having to leave him, the fact that he still hasn’t shown them the gorillas which was the whole point, etc.
Oh Tarzan does deserve as much love as possible because it's a really good film the residence of Disney
The animation, especially with the movements, are off the charts! It needs all the love!
@@TheFangirlWatches
It really does
I've never heard of the hero instinct before, but the more you know. The theory makes a lot of sense.
Fun fact: in the books, Jane was American and blonde. Not British and brunette.
Is it a fun fact because blondes have more fun?
😮!
Honestly love Tarzan x Jane. Even if Jane is the "damsel in distress" archetype, she's more than that. Jane ventured beyond her comfort zone to study gorillas, it's just Tarzan her man was an added bonus. Unlike Ariel who left everything she knew behind for a man rather impulsively, Jane took the courage to go out into the jungle to spot gorillas and gradually learned more about Tarzan as time went on. So, her staying in the jungle isn't just for Tarzan, it's probably to help him lead his gorilla pack too.
I think Ursula put it best "don't underestimate the importance of body language!"
"The Little Mermaid" could be another Disney film w/ Hero Instinct. Ariel falls in love with Prince Eric when she rescues him during the storm.
Also "Earth's Children" is a lot like "Tarzan". Protagonist raised by a less human species, becomes the best in her adopted family due to her species, and falls in love with the first human of the opposite sex they meet. There's also Hero Instinct at play: she meets by rescuing him from a wild animal.
Another Disney couple that I think is REALLY damn good is Eugene and Rapunzel. This time though it’s reversed in that the most drastic character change is on the guy’s part. Rapunzel’s arc in the movie is more about her identity, knowledge of the world, and growing out of her mindset forced on her by her abusive mother. She doesn’t though fundamentally change her personality or wants.
That honor goes to Eugene, who we don’t even meet under that name such is the displacement of the persona he created for himself. Eugene goes from only thinking Rapunzel is a load he has to bear to get the prize he’s after to be rich, to growing interested in her as a person, to sharing with her secrets he’s never told anyone since childhood, to basically forgetting why he wanted the crown and the riches he wanted because she makes him happier than they could.
Which leads to him flat out sacrificing his own life to give her her freedom. The hero instinct kicking in at last. “My very life is less important to me than your well being.”
In turn, Eugene was the first person Rapunzel met outside of Gothel. They didn’t have a good first meeting, in part because she hit him on the head with a frying pan. (Thrice.) However when he opened up about his real name and why he wanted the things he did, she began to see the man behind the mask and like him all the more. He was the one to bring her to her dream to see the lanterns and didn’t give any indication he was going away after that. Until Gothel makes it look like he betrayed her but then Rapunzel figured out that was also a lie on her part. Even then, Gothel assumes, likely correctly, that if Rapunzel were to leave, he would be the first person she would go to, which is why she opts to twist the knife by telling her he’s going to the gallows.
Then of course there’s the whole aforementioned, sacrificed his life so she wouldn’t be a prisoner for the rest of her life.
Sabor the leopard was an antagonist. It was brutal how she killed Tarzan's parents & that baby gorilla, but she is a force of nature. That's how leopards act.
Clayton on the other hand was a true villain. He only cared about taking the gorillas
Do you think Jane Porter should be a Disney Princess?
No. She and Tarzan aren’t royalty.
@@michaeloluwajuyemi4546 Well, there’s a theory that Jane is descended from Belle and that they’re connected by the Duke of Weaselton (VESSELton) from Frozen.
Also, you don’t have to be an actual princess to be a Disney Princess (*cough* Mulan *cough*)
There's an old character I read about called Mrs. Harlaney. She's a serious flirt, though she tends to confine herself to pushing the young woman staying at her B&B for her friend's wedding to find someone special. She gets very involved, helping the out-of-towner girl by letting her borrow a dress, and consistently pressing her for gossip about her exploits with the local boys. Plus, she has a tendency to almost-overshare about her *own* exploits as a "young filly" back in the day... Only getting cut off by the out-of-towner saying, "Okay, Mrs. Harlaney. TMI, I'm gonna head out now..."
Hearing you talk about/to Jane in this video, you make me laugh just as much as I did at imagining myself as that out-of-towner, getting to know Mrs. Harlaney! My cheeks were burning thinking about it, but I couldn't help smiling. Thanks for making my last night before getting back to my regular beat so much fun, Megan! I can always count on you to make theories so much more fun! 😂
I died at the YOLO comment! 😂🤣
I ❤️ this movie and the series!
Such great points, Megan. That's why I will always love this channel much. Also, rad sweater and earphones! Pink is my fav color, it looks awesome on you heheh. Cheers! 🥂
Tarzan was a rollercoaster, it was emotional, action packed, funny, suspenseful & a bit sad.
Great video! But I couldn’t help but LOVE your shirt!😍I love GF and Mabel was my first ever cosplay I’ve made when I was 12, it was a crappy ironed on star and rainbow but I loved it lol 😂💗
Every Disney movie shouldn’t be underrated!
Thats really interesting!!!
Never thought of it like that!
I like ur shirt☺ Ever since I've played FNAF SB & found Sun & Moon daycare,my theme around the house is wholesome theme. Sesame Street cereal. Arts & Crafts. Candy/plushies/puppets etc. My baby cousins come over & i put on cartoons for them & make them rainbow spaghetti. 🌈 It's nice to step back & sorta be a kid again & have happy things surrounding you. I especially want my cousins to a have a good memorable childhood instead of how i was raised by toxic people.
I had Tarzan on VSH as a kid and now on DVD!
Excellent points, excellent points. I claim Jane for the demiromantic/ace clans
interesting concept and yes i got to the end of the video ingested let you know i'm a die hard fan of horror and i keep seeing things in coraline that i'm surprised have not been explained yet
For whatever reason I never enjoyed this film. However, I did enjoy your discussion and never considered these elements before. Thank you for your channel and best wishes!
I love how you get on to Disney princesses for wanting to marry a man they just met, and then Jane comes along, and you say, "Just get with Tarzan already!" just because Tarzan is hot. It's pretty funny.
Also, I never knew about that little detail on the ship. Thanks for pointing it out!
look at Jane's come on eyes
I was wondering what your thoughts 💭 on Tarzan maybe being Anna and Elsa brother
Can you do videos the Tarzan series?
Have you ever seen James and the Giant Peach
Can you make a video on other Disney classics like The Jungle Book, Aladdin or The Little Mermaid?
All of them!
hey! hope you're doing well
I agree with your theory. By the way I think Tarzan would make an awesome rockstar and Tarzan and Jane would love the Lion King song Can You Feel The Love Tonight. Do you think they would like to visit Atlantica if they could become mermaids
So basically Tarzan fell in love with Jane because of his desire to protect the first woman he saw i always wondered what Tarzan saw in her Jane once mentioned in the tv series she likes his kind nature
I've been reading the first book in the tarzan series and wow. I'm surprised how different it is and yet the similarities are almost as surprising.
Also Kerchak killed Kala's baby. He attacked her and while she was jumping to another tree she accidently dropped it.
He also killed Tarzan's father. He only lived because Kala grabbed him and ran 😱
I haven't gotten to Jane coming yet.
Hehe, this video made me laugh.
No surprise, but I’ve made it to the end!
I made it to the end!😃
Thank you thank you!
Tarzan means white skin
