The Legend of Tarzan/YMMV
- Complete Monster: Queen La is the mystical queen of Opar, who created and enslaved a race of leopard men from mundane leopards. La has a bad habit of incinerating her followers who cross or fail her, and a history of killing men who reject her. When Professor Porter is brought to her, she decides to have him sacrificed before she falls for Tarzan; attempts to kill Jane; and later tries to sacrifice Tarzan for rejecting her. In her next appearance La's leopard men start to rebel against her and try to place Jane as the new queen to free them; after La gets back into power, she executes some of the leopard men but plans on doing something special for the leader of the rebels—attempting to feed him to a monster. During the next battle, La incinerates more of the leopard men, and when Tarzan is seemingly killed, mocks Jane about it. Despite La's death, her spirit later returns and possesses Jane in an attempt to get her power back. During the final fight against her, La possesses Tarzan and muses at the prospect of killing his beloved wife using his body.
- Harsher in Hindsight: "The Trading Post". Tarzan must find the rhinos a new home when the trading post drives them into gorilla territory. The conflict is solved but with a Bittersweet Ending:
 |
Kala: But with more and more people coming to the jungle, I can't help but wonder.. |

- Ten years later, the Western Black Rhino went extinct
- Evil Is Sexy: Queen La, most definately.
- Unintentionally Sympathetic: Several characters.
- Dania from "Tarzan and the Rift". In that episode, Tantor gets the chance to ask Dania out on a date, but the evening gets ruined by Terk showing up, making noise with household items, and being oblivious to the other characters' feelings. At that point, Dania being alienated by Terk is justifiable. To make matters worse, this is all just a big misunderstanding. The whole conflict could've been avoided if Terk had just apologized to Dania for making such a bad first impression, or at least done something nice to make up for it. But instead, the episode acts like Terk's actions were automatically forgivable. The episode never acknowledges the misunderstanding and expects us to dislike Dania for believing that Tantor should stop hanging around with Terk, despite the fact that her belief is based on Terk making a bad first impression and doing nothing to make up for it.
- Philander at the end of "Tarzan and the Missing Link". This is mostly because of all the protagonists taking a level in jerkass by being unnecessarily harsh to Philander. Also, Philander only brought those two men to Africa because they were threatening his life. Porter should've at least been respectful while rejecting Philander's offer at the end.
