 Zorro: Generation Z
comment
Another Rick Ungar creation. This time the story of Zorro is updated to 2015, and the latest descendant of the de la Vega line is a 17-year-old teenager named Diego who takes up the mantle of Zorro with help from his mute friend Bernardo. To replace the famous Tornado, we now have a Cool Bike called Tornado Z that helps transport Diego to fight against Pueblo Grande's corrupt mayor, Horace Hernando Martinez.Compare Phantom 2040 and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century.

Gratuitous Spanish: Because the main cast are all depicted as being of Hispanic descent and Pueblo Grande is most likely in southern California.

 Zorro: Generation Z / int_246c5b47
comment
Ascended Fanboy: In a flashback to one of Diego's birthday parties, both Diego and Maria are thrilled when Diego's grandfather shows up in his Zorro costume. Diego grows up to become the next Zorro, of course, and Maria's Scarlet Whip persona is basically Zorro's Distaff Counterpart. Which may explain why Maria/Scarlet Whip was initially hostile towards Diego when she first met the new Zorro; she saw him as a poser who could not live up to the legend of The Fox.

Mythology Gag
 Zorro: Generation Z / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Originally, Maria's costumed identity was going to be the Black Whip, probably based on the film Zorro's Black Whip, actually about a masked heroine. Presumably this was changed to make her more distinct from the black-clad Zorro. It's also a reference to Lady Rawhide, a popular "Bad Girl" spin-off of the 1990s Zorro comics who wore red and used a whip.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Zorro: Generation Z / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Being athletic teens with cool technology but no actual crime fighting experience means that Diego and Maria's first outings as costumed heroes is not exactly smooth; Diego is trapped by the mayor and needs Scarlet Whip's help to escape and their constant arguing is a sharp contrast to their teamwork in later episodes. Reality swings in the other way, though, as they do get better and become very competent superheroes with experience.

Four Is Death
 Zorro: Generation Z / int_471a505f
comment
Four Is Death: The show's most formidable villains are the appropriately-named Fearsome Four. When they revolt against Mayor Martinez he is terrified for his life even though he is the head of both all law enforcement and all organized crime in the city. Luckily for him and Zorro they only show up twice.

Adaptational Wimp: García is a useless imbecile instead of the bumbling but decent fighter he was in Zorro (1957). All in all, this version of him seems more inspired by his portrayal in The New Adventures of Zorro (1997). He does, however, get a Day in the Limelight episode that shows him to be a fairly decent detective ... when Martinez allows him to be.
