I get the hesitancy. It's the "big one" for many - want to make sure. Crossing all crossables! I feel like the fandom is beyond due after having been trolled for so long BY DISNEY.
I watched Zorro on TV as a kid in the 90s. It was on a basic cable channel or programming block. I don't think it's left the public consciousness. Plus there's the revival series on Disney+ coming soon for newer generations to watch.
