I'm so cheesed off that the John Carter didn't perform well. It was pretty good and they're really interesting/fun books.
I think I made it through one Burroughs book [ a WW2 era Tarzan]
If you want a great heroic fantasy, try Robert Heinlein's "Glory Road." He gives you a great adventure, and casually kicks all the tropes in the knee.
I read mostly old sci-fi, so I can manage colonialist, racist, and misogynist stuff and enjoy the story around it!
