“U.S. people are taught that their military culture does not approve of or encourage targeting and killing civilians and know little or nothing about the nearly three centuries of war-fare-before and after the founding of the U.S.-that reduced the Indigenous peoples of the continent to a few reservations by burning their towns and fields and killing civilians, driving the refugees out--step by step--across the continent....Violence directed systematically against noncombatants through irregular means, from the start, has been a central part of Americans' way of war. “
Military Historian John Grenier
Excerpt from Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s book:
An Indigenous People’s History of the United States

This is the Buddy for December 14th. He's a real swashbuckler, you see. A little bit like Joaquin Murrieta. Or, you know, Don Diego de la Vega.
Although I guess he couldn't fit that big poofly hair under a half-mask. I was never too sure whether Zorro wore a half-mask or just a Robin-like domino mask. And that's probably because his costume changes in different stories. Which makes total sense, really - why would he wear the same stuff all the time? I mean, I guess it's useful for him if other people know he's the one that's doing something (although that comes with its own set of issues), but it's also useful to keep his costume practical. If he's in a bind, he can just cover his face with a piece of black cloth with holes for eyes. And if he's riding out of his villa, he can put on the whole get-up beforehand.
I think a problem with superheroes, especially the ones from the bronze age, is that they're always shown in costume, when more naturalistic storytelling would have them wear whatever's available. I understand that the reason for that is the costume sells (and makes it easier to identify the character), but it also limits the story to a level where the character is the costume, as opposed to the more practical and justified costumes of earlier eras.
On the other hand, we have superhero movies nowadays, where characters wear their costumes as little as possible, because the filmmakers are ashamed of making superhero movies. Even when it makes sense to hear, say, a helmet during a space battle, we need to see those handsome Hollywood faces.
But I guess that's an issue I'd explore if I was making my own superhero story.

Shawn wurde 1786 als Joaquin Murrieta während des mexikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges geboren. 1821 ging die 300jährige Herrschaft Spaniens über Mexiko zu Ende. Er und sein Bruder Felipe mussten schon früh ohne Eltern klar kommen. Sie hatten ihre Eltern in diesem Krieg verloren. Die Brüder waren Diebe. Haben sich mit Diebstählen und diversen Raubzügen über Wasser gehalten. Sie wurden erwischt. Felipe auf der Flucht angeschossen. Er rettete Shawn das Leben und sagte, er solle abhauen. Nach Diskussionen tat er es... sein Bruder wurde erschossen und von dem damaligen Capitan geköpft. Der Capitan hatte Köpfe gesammelt. Während seiner Trauer traf Shawn auf Elena de la Vega... sie wollte ihn als Gefährten ... und verwandelte ihn 1822 ohne Shawn wählen zu lassen. Sie wurden ein Liebespaar, wurden Eltern von zwei Söhnen, doch Elena benutze ihn nur für ihr Vergnügen. Sie genoss es, ihn manipulieren und steuern zu können, wann immer sie es wollte. Shawn war ihre ganz persönliche Marionette. Er war ihr hörig und nicht in der Lage sich dem zu entziehen. Erst als Elena ihn verließ, mit einem anderen Gefährten samt der gemeinsamen Kinder verschwand, begann sich diese Verbindung zu lösen. Shawn litt unter diesem Entzug Höllenqualen, da ihr Blut sich mit in seinem Körper befand. Unter diesem Entzug bekam er Wahnvorstellungen und begann ein regelrechtes Massaker anzurichten. Dadurch wurde Baptiste Durand - ein Urvampir und Wächter im Dienste der Vatikanstadt Rom - auf Shawn aufmerksam. Der Franzose war direkt von Shawn fasziniert. Baptiste hatte den Befehl aus Rom ihn zu töten, doch er wollte den Jungvampir heilen, verstehen und studieren. Baptiste war erfolgreich und Shawn lernte viel von ihm. Seitdem haben die Zwei eine Art Vater-Sohn-Beziehung zueinander.
Tumblr media
Shawn bettete sich viele Jahre in seiner Gruft zur Ruhe. Nach dem Verlust seiner Söhne und der gescheiterten Beziehung mit Elena wollte er nur noch seinen Frieden. Doch die Klänge der Rockmusik seiner späteren Bandmitglieder weckten ihn auf. Shawn verließ seine Gruft und suchte seine Bandmitglieder auf um diese zu verwandeln und die Rockband TDS - The Damned Souls zu gründen. Seit vielen Jahren sind sie sehr erfolgreich auf der Welt unterwegs. Shawn traf auf einer Tour Centime in Paris. Sofort erwischte es ihn so intensiv als er sie sah, dass er es nicht wahrhaben wollte. Centime und Shawn waren anfänglich unfreundlich zueinander und auf Abstand. Sie gingen sogar getrennte Wege bis sie sich der Macht dieser Verbundenheit zueinander nicht mehr entziehen konnten. Zwischen den Beiden kam es zu einer leidenschaftlichen Liebesbeziehung, die an Intensität nicht zu übertreffen war.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Centime und Shawn hatten direkt am Anfang ihrer Beziehung mit vielen Hürden und Herausforderungen zu kämpfen. Jeder Einzelnen stellten sie sich, wurden stärker miteinander und ihre Liebe wuchs daran.
Shawn und Centime [ @pxecedm ] sind seit dem 07. August 2023 verheiratet und haben 3 gemeinsame Kinder.
El amor de mi vida ❤️🖤❤️‍🔥 @pxecedm

Character Actor
Anthony Caruso (April 7, 1916 – April 4, 2003) Film and television character actor in more than one hundred American films, usually playing villains and gangsters, including the first season of Walt Disney's Zorro as Captain Juan Ortega.
In some of his television roles, Caruso played sympathetic characters, like "Ash", on an early episode of CBS's Gunsmoke, and again in 1960 as “Gurney”, a murdering, yet ultimately sympathetic cowboy. He also played “Lone Wolf” in a 1961 episode entitled “Indian Ford”.
In 1954, Caruso played Tiburcio Vásquez in an episode of the western series Stories of the Century. He appeared in the first Brian Keith series, Crusader.  In 1957, he appeared in the fourth episode of the first season of the TV western Have Gun – Will Travel starring Richard Boone titled "The Winchester Quarantine".
In 1957, Caruso appeared in episode "The Child" on NBC's The Restless Gun.  In 1959, he was cast as George Bradley in the episode "Annie's Old Beau" on the NBC children's western series, Buckskin.
That same year, he portrayed Matt Cleary on CBS's Wanted: Dead or Alive episode "The Littlest Client", with Steve McQueen. Also 1959, he also guest-starred on the ABC/Warner Brothers western series, Sugarfoot, in the episode "The Extra Hand", along with guest stars Karl Swenson and Jack Lambert as well as the series star, Will Hutchins. The same year he appeared in the 'Syndicate Sanctuary' episode of The Untouchables.
In 1960, Caruso played a Cherokee Indian, Chief White Bull, in the episode "The Long Trail" of the NBC western series, Riverboat, starring Darren McGavin.
Also in 1960, he returned to Gunsmoke playing a murderous cowboy named “Gurney” in S6E5’s “Shooting Stopover”. Again his character was a hard man, but through the character’s death, Caruso successfully made him sympathetic.
In 1961, he appeared twice on the ABC/Warner Brothers drama series, The Roaring 20s, including the role of Lucky Lombardi in "The Maestro". He was also cast with Will Hutchins in a second The Roaring 20s episode entitled, "Pie in the Sky." Early in 1961, he was cast as Velde in the episode "Willy's Millionaire" of the short-lived ABC adventure series, The Islanders, with Diane Brewster.
Caruso guest-starred in an episode of the ABC western series, The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, based on a Robert Lewis Taylor novel of the same name. Caruso guest-starred three times on CBS's Perry Mason. In 1962, he played Keith Lombard in "The Case of the Playboy Pugilist." Also in 1962, Caruso played Cody Durham in "Cody's Code" on Gunsmoke. In 1965, he made two Perry Mason appearances, both times as the murder victim: first as title character Enrico Bacio in "The Case of the Sad Sicilian," then as Harvey Rettig in "The Case of the Runaway Racer."
In 1964, he guest-starred in the Bonanza episode "The Saga of Squaw Charlie" playing a Native American man shunned by almost everybody and with only two friends, Ben Cartwright and a little girl named Angela. In 1969 he starred alongside Ricardo Montalban in Desperate Mission, a fictionalized telling of the life of Joaquin Murrieta. From 1966 to 1970 he guest-starred three times on the long-running NBC western The Virginian, starring James Drury. In 1965 he guest-starred on ABC's The Addams Family as Don Xavier Molinas.
Some of his other roles were that of the alien gangster "Bela Oxmyx" in the classic Star Trek episode "A Piece of the Action", Chief Blackfish on the NBC series Daniel Boone, and Louis Ciavelli (the "box man" or safecracker) in The Asphalt Jungle. Caruso played the comical character of the Native American "Red Cloud" on the 1965 Get Smart episode "Washington 4, Indians 3," and Chief Angry Bear in the episode "You Can't Scalp a Bald Indian" of Rango.
In 1970, Caruso made a guest appearance on the ABC crime drama The Silent Force in the episode "A Family Tradition." In 1974, he appeared in the final episode, entitled "The Fire Dancer," of the ABC police drama Nakia. Anthony Caruso also had a memorable, recurring roll as “El Lobo” on The High Chaparral.  (Wikipedia)

NFR Reviews #9: The Mark of Zorro
Released 1920 / Inducted 2015
Watch film here
Tumblr media
Douglas Fairbanks was an established star before adopting a pseudonym to co-write the screenplay adapting Johnston McCulley’s pulp novel The Curse of Capistrano. The period piece adventure film was a change in pace–his prior work fell into the romance or comedy genres and he worried audiences were losing interest. The Mark of Zorro stars Fairbanks as Zorro, a masked vigilante who swordfights racists and corrupt politicians to attain justice. His actual identity, revealed to the audience well before the other characters know, is Don Diego Vega. For maximum dramatic irony, he’s the opposite of Zorro. The book character has a litany of bad traits: he’s lazy and aimless, he doesn’t stand up for those around him, he makes it clear to a prospective love interest he’s only pursuing her out of obligation to his father. The movie adds a running joke where he tries mediocre shadow puppetry and basic magic tricks, making him seem even less dignified and unpleasantly childish when combined with the other negative qualities.
Zorro doesn’t have superpowers in the typical sense, relying on sword fighting and trickery to win no matter how outnumbered he is. He’s almost a mythic figure, albeit less serious and more slapstick-heavy than his book counterpart. To him, his opponents aren’t even worth taking seriously. He’s an early example of the superhero template, especially in his dual identity. The concept of a masked avenger posing as a playboy inspired Bob Kane in the creation of Batman and alter ego Bruce Wayne, as did Fairbanks’ catapulting-off-the-walls stunts. I don’t think either McCulley or Fairbanks intended this, but I wonder if some tiny part of Don Diego’s lifelessness and fatigue is a genuine result of spending all night getting in fights and horseback chase sequences. Zorro looks like he takes so much energy to maintain that there’s nothing left for his civilian persona. Andrew Williams defines the fop, of which said civilian persona is an example, as an old stock character defined by “demasculinized representation and obtuse misunderstanding of the normative codes of social behavior.” Some of this trope comes from making fun of rich people–they’re the ones who can afford to dress in high fashion, avoid tough physical labor, and use their wealth to smooth over ineptitude in social situations. Some of the trope just boils down to “men who deviate too much from gender roles are weak.” 
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many industrialized and urban jobs required less outdoor physical labor than the cowboy or frontiersman archetypes of generations past. This fueled a cultural anxiety over whether men were becoming too weak, which was one factor in why pulp adventure heroes gained popularity (Though with trends, there’s always more than one factor, some of which are much simpler stuff like “Swordfights are cool!”). Zorro fits some of this trend–his “feminine” qualities are only excused by the narrative because it’s a deliberate misdirection. His stories are set in a romanticized 19th-century Spanish California defined by “its warmth, its romance, its peaceful beauties,” providing escapism from modern industrialized society. However, the focus on justice for the oppressed and the villains being the Spanish colonial establishment sets it apart from the frontier "manifest destiny" narratives of that are more oriented around conquering and subjugation. Fairbanks took inspiration from Mexican outlaws resisting oppression during the US takeover of California. McCulley’s inspirations when writing the book aren’t known, but Zorro has similarities with outlaws like Tiburcio Vásquez and Joaquin Murrieta, who fought against violence committed against Mexicans in the years following the California Gold Rush. (Elements of these legends are difficult to verify. In Murrieta’s case it’s unclear if he even existed, but the story of his brother and wife being murdered by Americans was reflected in the real killings of hundreds of Mexicans in the 19th and early 20th centuries.) Don Diego’s wealthy upbringing in a prominent family puts him closer in background to Vásquez than the Murrieta legend. 
Vega’s extreme wealth and status, often referred to as “good blood,” might’ve been another instance of irony, as he runs in the same circles as the men he fights against. The story operates under a noblesse-oblige view of justice: essentially, that wealth comes with responsibility to uplift the well-being of the less fortunate. The 1835 novel The Lily of the Valley portrays the term as from a bygone medieval age, while author Alexis de Tocqueville expressed roughly the same sentiment while feeling the Industrial Revolution-era “new rich” were abusing their privilege over workers. While superheroes’ powers are sci-fi or fantastical rather than monetary, the sentiment is echoed in the genre: “with great power comes great responsibility” was popularized by Spider-Man comics. The film contrasts Zorro against villainous politicians and military types who abuse their power to get away with beating natives, falsely accusing priests of crimes, and acting entitled to women’s bodies and affections. Despite all that, the film doesn’t expect justice to always look noble, polite, and respectable. Zorro appears as a bandit who gets a death threat for “frightening children and insulting women” while the people he’s actually insulting do much worse. The film’s noblesse-oblige perspective has some drawbacks, though. It lets some aspects of the established social order go unquestioned (for example, why every indigenous person is a servant) as long as the people at the top aren’t being total assholes about it. 
The Mark of Zorro is a throwback to a place and time that would’ve seemed exotic to many viewers, and there’s a bit of paternalism and “back when men were men” attitudes that come out of this. But the premise of a man who fights injustice against the oppressed and looks cool doing it still holds up. Even though the character isn’t quite as high-profile today, there’s a reason the story was influential to the action and superhero genres.
