Yeah, I know Persians aren’t arabic, but it was the best description I could come up with.

I guess Persian smooth jazz is correct.

Batman is zorro

This actually highlights one of the key weaknesses of the Zorro franchise, which is that he doesn’t have any memorable supervillains to fight. It’s like Batman without Joker. Someone needs to create an iconic supervillain for Zorro.

He was not holding the camera in :raised_hand:. I win

Cornelius took a self-portrait outside of the family store. The daguerreotype produced is an off-center portrait of a man with crossed arms and tousled hair.

When they applied for a marriage license in Rockbridge County, Va., Brandyn Churchill and Sophie Rogers were told they could not have one unless they each chose a race, from a list that included “Aryan” and “Octoroon.”

The Supreme Court struck down Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage over half a century ago. Yet the mechanism by which that prohibition was enforced remains on the books: a requirement that all would-be newlyweds identify by race. To fill out the form falsely is a felony.

Dude, make it some rich racist landowner modeled on Trump. Easiest. Villain. Ever.

Two problems there. One is that Don Diego himself was the wealthiest landowner in town. The other is that Zorro takes place like 100 years before the Trump family came to America; this was long before the Anglos took over California. IIRC, the supervillains in the Zorro franchise were Spanish colonists.

It’s interesting: in 1957 Disney was comfortable telling a story about the evils of colonial oppression in the Americas —this was before Alaska and Hawaii had become US states! It’s like 1950’s American could recognize that colonialism is unjust when the Spanish oppress natives but a-ok when white people make the natives run their jewels.

In Batman they have to go to pretty crazy lengths because he doesn’t just use a gun. Don’t know how a guy with just a skinny sword is going to manage. He could have a light sabre I guess, but really a platoon with M16s would take over the death star with their slow shooting lasers.

LOL actual 70’s synth over-the-top tools. Delivers well beyond what I expected, simple embarrassments. Lords of Synth found good material.

He uses stealth and cunning, ldo. Bro, do you even Zorro?

Don’t forget the 60’s. Electronic music has been almost exclusively dorky white dudes since day one.
