 With revenge, it's always personal, but justice, it's always for everyone. Those are the words bestowed upon a young Don Vego de la Vega whose question should he still be Zorro in the second episode of The Inheritance, and I have to tell you if you are a superhero fan, a hero fan, comic book fan, fan of the hero's journey, this episode is for you. I'm trying to contain my excitement because I was, after the first episode, curious, not totally sold, but this one, this one took off for me. This one just went into that superhero stratosphere of a hero's journey. Now, it's called The Inheritance because Don Vego de la Vega is given his Inheritance in a box from his father. Who left it to him? No. We don't know the exact contents. I think it was some jewelry, some imagery that I wasn't quite sure. I have to look at it again. It was so quick for me, but really the setup here is there is a bank heist, a bank robbery, so they can show, so Zorro could show up because what is revealed in the spoiler is that the head bank robber, his father, was killed by the Zorro from previous years ago. It's a great setup. The thing is, is that Don Diego is one of the hostages. So I was like, how is Zorro going to appear? Well, I don't want to fully spoil it for you, but this episode was really so self-contained that it almost could have been an episode one because what you have is, from the beginning, he's kind of cocky, he's Zorro, but then this experience where he gets to hands-on experience people dying at the hands of Zorro, the Zorro legacy, and then almost his his loved one, well, the one that he loves, profess loves by the name of Lolita, she's wounded. He questions everything. Then his journey as far as should he don the mask again? So he goes to the Indian shaman who bestows those wise words, and then by the end of the episode, he takes it on, not only does it take it on, but he makes his own costume with the help of Bernardo, who is amazing in this episode, played by the great Pakotus. Yeah, that's his name, Pakotus, and he's fully confident. He's Zorro. He is on a mission, and he's going to do his best to restore justice to where it needs to be done, but also to not just be that killer. Now, I'm excited because it showed that hero's journey, it showed the responsibility and the consciousness of a hero is that if he doesn't feel sometimes for those for those people that he has to take out, then he's not a hero. So it was great. It was fantastic. I also was surprised by the the other themes that they're hitting upon, which makes sense in 1800s California, the themes of that caste system that's there. You have the indigenous, you have the mestizos, you have the Spanish poor, then you have the Mexican poor, and then you have the noble, the rich, and they were all touched upon. They were all talked about in this episode, and it all makes sense in that world of Don Diego de la Vega, that I was like, what am I watching here? This is so well done, so well as far as written, and the characters, everyone's got something going. Even Lolita's mother, with the Russian lady in their banter, the governor, and the other aristocracy that are the noble that are trying to rip Don Diego de la Vega's estate from him, to where they're like, oh, Don Diego's there. He's a hostage. Go take my men and go shoot everybody. Take no prisoners. Don't worry about anyone dying. So everyone's got their their motives, their theme going on, which I absolutely loved. And it really, like I says, just sends this whole story, this whole world, this whole iteration of Zorro into the stratosphere of being that superhero, being that hero. I also too, we find out why Naline, the native woman who claims to be Zorro, why she's even making that claim. And just what kind of vengeance she is full of. What a great character. And that is set and running at the same time that Zorro is running as well, becoming the new hero for the poor. I got to tell you, these guys are making away, these guys, the production people, the writers, the directors, the show runners, you know, they have found a way to keep this classic in a sense of the time that they're in, the period that they're in. And yet adding new twist to it, that makes sense, that work that's organic. This whole idea of the this, the legend, the spirit of Zorro is an indigenous one, and that it picks the next person. It chooses the next person. Not anyone can just don it. And the fact that they picked Don Vego, I love that idea, because it goes, because some of the indigenous don't like it. So cool. And everyone, you know, of course, the noble people, the rich hate Zorro. And then there's some very personal connections of murder and trauma that the Zorro before created that kind of play into this one. There is a fantastic scene with the Zorro before with a young little Nalim. And I don't want to tell it all, but it's about knowing who you are, having that courage to take the next step and soon one day you'll be the next Zorro. And, you know, with Nalim, she just wants it now, but she's definitely on a whole path of vengeance. Okay, so that being said, we're going to rate this in a second, but I want you to check out our other reviews. We have a review of each of episode one, and I'm going to be reviewing each episode two. That being said about this, I said before to begin with that if you're a fan of a hero lore of superhero legend, Batman, Zorro, all those, this episode is for you. This episode takes off. And I'm kind of surprised that it took off so quickly. I was like, okay, well, episode one was all right, but, you know, maybe it'll work its way up. So my only apprehension is like, you know, how can it give any better? Because I feel that this was really a self-contained wonderful episode. So this is for you guys. This is for you guys. This is everything that Hollywood, that American takes on superheroes and heroes that they have really have ruined the last several years. This is how you do it. And it's wonderful that it's the Latin American team out of Spain and Mexico, international cast from Latin America are just knocking it out of the park. And listen, yeah, some of the production isn't like the greatest, but it just doesn't matter, you know, that it almost lends to the time. It is good enough. And in some cases, it's really good. So I'm all in. I loved episode two called The Inheritance. I think each character, primary, you know, especially the our lead is really taken off on the roll. Episode one, I gave a seven out of 10. Here, we're going to go a little higher. We're going to go eight point five out of 10. This is one of the best hero superhero tales I have seen in years. And that includes Marvel, that includes DC. This is the OG, the man, Soto. And he's come to say, Marvel, DC, hold my whip. Let me show you how it's done. Now, if you want to see more reviews of Soto, and I have a great, actually, I have a great video for you guys. I do the five parallels of Zorro and Batman. I want y'all to check that out right here. That video right there is a fantastic one I did comparing and contrasting Zorro to Batman. I hope you enjoy it. Stick around and remember, wherever you're at, keep that slang fuerte. Paz.
