Discussed with my son yesterday about the difference between John Carter and Tarzan. He considered both to be adventure fantasy, and yet still distinctly different genres. We decided that the true difference was in the scope, John Carter is an important man on Mars — he marries a Princess, he leads armies, and the fate of entire countries is occasionally at stake — Tarzan‘s adventures tend to have a smaller, more personal scale.
