Might be time for you to binge The original Masked Dark Knight Avenger, ...with the Melodrama tuned up to 11,0000!
Zorro The Telenovela
If you can find it, for the record you have to go in prepared, and take it as fun, with a huge grain of salt, I'd never watched a Soap Opera, even less a Spanish one (even though I do speak Spanish), and this one does not hold back.
This was pretty bizarre but incredibly fun experience about some outrageous, over the top passionate, sexy
melodrama.
From what I learned the Telenovela formula is simple:
Ep.1 Boy meets Girl, ...then spend the next 115 episodes finding any way possible of keeping them apart.
And they mean anything:
From plot twists, ancient curse, and mysteries, an eye patch villain, gypsies, a crazy hunchback, witches, ghosts/spirits (yes one of the main characters may or may not be there), an Amazon tribe. Yeah, Amazons, as in this case a tribe of Warrior jungle Women . History and geography anachronism abound.
The back-story is very loosely taken from the Allende Zorro Novel,
These (unlike weekly shows) are shot daily in quick succession episodes, and aired daily, one after the other, for the entire run. So don't expect methodical writing and plotting.
Production is what you'd expect. although they pull off some lavish period setting and costumes (I think shot in Colombia).
The acting ... well does it mater? You'll be reading subtitles.
Also the name of the Telenovela is La Espada y La Rosa, the Sword and the Rose.
The sword is Zorro, but the star of the show is La Rosa, guest staring Zorro. There are long drawn out outrageous narratives that don't even include him, Keep that in mind. The whole thing has a surreal or magic-real whatever they call it element. You kinda have to surrender to that, If you can roll with all that, you might enjoy it.
Oh and any "Superhero" action is ridiculously sparse and dodgy.
But Zorro dose wield dual pistolas, which is truer to the pulp incarnation than most modern versions.
(wait are those revolvers, damn, they can't get anything right)
Also it has an opening theme song by Alejandro Fernández and Beyoncé ...singing in Spanish!
