The Quick and the Dead was a good movie.
If I remember right they also had plans for a trans zorro, only that instead of slashing the letter "z" on peoples' chests they'd just slash their wrists.
I heard about this. Won’t be watching of course. Honestly they do me a favor no. Race or gender swaps show me that the people doing it have zero talent or creativity so it’s not worth my time.
Fuck your species appropriation. I want a real Zorro. (ie, I'd rather a furry cartoon with a male zorro (fox) in the lead.)
Throw a cape on a fox and watch it run around.
It'd STILL be better than Woke Zorro.
Hey I actually like that one.
I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been a "live action" of Robin hood. Probably because they can't just borrow animations from National Geographic of stonefaced lions jogging on flat dirt.
My Spanish seems to be shit. I did not know it means fox.
Yeah, same as in English. "Lupa" has also carried that meaning (as in, Romulus and Remus were raised by a whore, not a free-living canine. In the middle ages, "wolf" was slang for "bandit", miscreants and murderers who lived in the forests to escape justice, across various european languages.)
First time I heard that, I remember seeing a Romulus and Remus statue while sucking on the tits of an wolf.
Sometimes the metaphor is just more palatable than reality, and gets accepted as "truth". You can see the same sort of confusions happening today. But stop and think for a moment - which is the more realistic scenario?
Are we really going for realism, looking at the mythological founding of Rome?
Even if there were no orphaned twins involved in the politics of early Rome, it's likely the original myth did involve a whore, but the usual uptight types would have preferred the less smarmy alternative. Which sounds more "romantic", being raised by a whore, or being tough enough to survive the wilderness on wolf's milk? Who would YOU want to look up to? Certainly not the sons of a whore.
A lot of myths were probably just really old stories whose origins got forgotten, and with those forgotten origins, the slang and metaphors got taken at face value. Medieval kids would have understood Red Riding Hood's "wolf" to be fully human, but that slang (along with murderers living in the woods) was forgotten by the time of Grimm, and certainly isn't relevant now. Also consider how Gulliver's Travels was meant to be satire, but is now considered nothing more than lame-ass children's fantasy by the general public.
Jeffrey Dahlmer, where we call him "serial killer with cannibalistic tendancies", medieval people would have tagged him "werewolf". Conversely, I kind of vaguely remember reading something about some missionaries, who found they had to tone down the metaphorical "lamb of god" stuff because the tribals started to think Jesus was an actual sheep.
She is here to stop the patriarchy by flashing her tits and bits and screaming about vagina power. That's how latinas usually fight patriarchy in latin america.
Didn't Rodriguez or someone else already do it in like 1999?
also swap Garcia
Its funny because the female of zorro is zorra, which in spanish can also mean bitch
Reports are saying that Amy Shcumer has been fingered for the lead role, and the working title will be 'MuH PuSSaH STink hAhUH', get over it
While yes, this CW series is going to be a pile of dog shit, I'd like to point out that, in the stories, Don Diego did have several female Zorras working in his network of decoys to throw the constables off his scent.
