AMAZON PRIME'S ZORRO PROS & CONS.

After days of watching and re-watching the episodes of the new Zorro adaptation, I decided to share what - obviously only in my opinion - are its main pros & cons.

(For fairness, since I will mention spoiler elements, I thought I'd insert my reflections below the cut).

PROS:

MORE POV. It is impossible to start mentioning the pros of this series without mentioning the very obvious - and extremely right - decision to "broaden" the points of view. Perhaps for the first time, in fact, the story is not narrated almost completely by Diego alone, but also by the various other characters who are part of it (be they the Chinese, the natives, etc.).

REALITY. As already said by @aragarna, this new Zorro gets rid of the "we are all friends/we sit at the same table" contours to show - finally! - the tense and highly classist climate of a sadly very particular historical period. We see the hatred and distrust towards the natives, with the enormous difference - compared to other products that focus on this particular "feud" between colonizers and colonized - of knowing "both bells" (I don't know if there is a similar expression, in English, I apologize) and therefore being able to realize how different things are, depending on who tells the stories. This makes the series refreshingly "real" (yes, even if it includes elements like the Spirits of Native American culture).

NOT CLEARLY GOOD/BAD CHARACTERS. Monasterio is no longer the Commander, absolutely "black", devoid of scruples and good sides. Indeed, as the season continues, he increasingly demonstrates that he is an individual who well understands the absolute injustice of what he does - while nevertheless not shying away from doing it because he is faithful to his position. He is in conflict between what his principles and his role impose on him, effectively making him a magnificent "grey" character. Diego and Nah-Lin themselves are wonderful examples of "well-rounded" characters, because even in their most wrong actions, they maintain a sincerely credible and even - at certain points - justifiable motivation.

TECHNICAL VISUAL ASPECT. The scenes are masterfully shot, the soundtrack is not intrusive but rather an excellent way to underline the various thoughts/feelings of the characters, etc..

ZORRO'S LEGACY. The idea of a "generational change" of Zorro, in a choice that potentially makes it possible to see more sides of the same character - trivially because more people interpret him. A fact demonstrated in this same first season, where we had three Zorros, all three with their "characteristic side".

THE DECISION OF DEPRIVE DIEGO OF HIS MOST RECOGNIZABLE TRAIT. Depriving him - and so soon! - of his father (and consequently of the only person who knows him perfectly), the series allows Diego to always act as himself (within the limits desired by the situation of the moment), without having to resort to that supposed inability to defend himself/laziness/cowardice which is renowned as one of the particular signs of his character.

DIEGO IS NOT INVINCIBLE. It might seem stupid, but in many adaptations, Diego is seen as practically infallible. His plans always come to fruition, he never gets hurt, he makes almost no mistakes... This "new" Diego doesn't; here Diego is young (according to my calculations he is just 21/22 years old), he becomes Zorro not because of his choice but because - literally! - the spirits give him (via Night Crow) the costume and send him home with a lapidary: "You are the new Zorro, whether you want it or not", he still acts like a daredevil boy (complete with Bernardo-Mother Hen)... And this translates into some - very justifiable - errors and just as many choices that are not exactly well thought out.

CONS:

TOO MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE. To be clear: the various plot threads are all (well, almost: Samael and Guadalupe and their "inheritance hunt" have not managed to involve me at all, for the moment) interesting and well structured; but they are objectively many, for a single season. We have the Bear Clan, the Russian-American Company that wishes to "take over Los Angeles", Guadalupe's aforementioned inheritance hunt, Nah Lin's desire for revenge, the search for the truth about his father's murder on Diego's part... And of these very few - if not almost none - had an effective conclusion. The feeling I got was that the producers wanted to "play their cards" all at once, in the hope that this would secure them a renewal for a second season. Something along the lines of: "Hey, we need the renewal! Look at all the unresolved things we left!".

LOLITA. I'm sorry to say this, but I just can't understand what the producers had in mind when they created her character. Or rather, to be more precise, when they created her relationship with Diego. She is initially shown to us as angry at Diego for going to Spain (I think?), in an attitude that could even be understood - if only that same attitude didn't remain as if petrified throughout the rest of the season. Why, exactly, does Lolita remain so resentful towards Diego all the time? Because, despite knowing that he loves her (he himself tells her this, when she helps him with his wound, and even in the very first episode), she constantly pretends not to know what feelings bind him to her, and indeed continually acts in such a way as to hurt him on purpose? Mha! It remains meaningless to me.

Here it is. I have indicated, I repeat, what for me are the main pros and cons of the season (you will probably have found others, or even none).

obsessed by the episode where diego's father alejandro is badly hurt and zorro has to get him to safety and alejandro is all 'you remind me so much of my son. I wish he was like you' and zorro has to not react. and he has to endure not being able to comfort his father as a son when his son is all his father wants. and then he has to distract the soldiers by being diego instead of zorro even though his father might be dying. he can be diego for everyone who thinks of diego as a joke and he can only be zorro to his dad who wants so badly to have diego there.

i'm not the biggest fan of secret identities in general but i'm a such sucker for angsty father-son interactions omg. WHY COULDN'T YOU LET HIM TAKE OFF YOUR MASK DIEGO 😭

Inspired by the dead bird post, and because I'm an ornithology person in another life, here's more--

Diego and Birds:

"We can learn much from observing our winged visitors. Each has it's own personality."

"Ring-neck doves, grouse, and quail all abound in California, but not homing pigeons." Diego knows his local avifauna!

El original, "Pobrecillo." aka dead bird

"Oh don't worry, she's not hurt." aka not dead bird!:)

Disapproval: Don Diego not believing for one second that bad guy of the week is qualified to handle that beautiful Peregrine. About to go start some legal polices for the regulation of falconry practice in Mexico, because we love a good side project!

Justice for the people. Justice and freedom for the fastest bird on earth!! (Just be careful now if you're one of those doves or quail😅)

La leyenda del Zorro

this happened today and it was so funny

I was watching the list of "Last chance" on HBO Max, and i saw the movies from "Zorro", there, I LOVED THOSE MOVIES AS A KID, I totally did, they inspired my creativity, and my love for action movies... ANYWAYS

Now I remembered WHY if I ever have a daughter I want to name her Elena! AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE VAMPIRE DIARIES! HAHA

Zorro, canon divergence AU ideas

Ones that dead with "Dead Men Tell No Tales" but later diverge from canon.

My previously mentioned Diego and Gilberto meet while attending university.

Or how about we diverge in "A Love Remembered" and Mercedes lives and Alejandro renews his romance with her and we explore how her presence affects family dynamics. And we can see seething rage if he knows what de Soto did.

Subidea of that idea - Mercedes lives because Diego doesn't stop and change clothes, thus delaying him from acting, as originally happened. So Alejandro is suspicious of him as Zorro earlier.

Or we can travel back to season one and have Diego decide to adopt Felipe immediately after "Family Business." It'd be interesting to see Felipe navigate his change in status, and how that affects how others treat him.

How about Felipe and Kinona continue the romance?

Cute childish Diego

Mendoza, as Diego and Victoria both pet Galletaño: Personally, I think he's just exhausted. Don Alejandro, looking confused: What do you mean by that, Sergeant? Victoria: Because Señor Adams told us Lobo is… *She lowers her voice.* Victoria: Preñada. Don Alejandro, incredulously: Pregnant?! Excuse me, Victoria… Lobo is a wolf. Galletaño is a dog! Diego, chuckling childishly, as he scratches behind Galletaño's ears: Galletaño, my friend! What you lack in spirit, you make up for in audacity… Victoria, looking up at Diego and sounding shocked: Diego! *Diego continues to scratch behind Galletaño's, as he and the others laugh.*
