People often forget how classy Zé Carioca is - I mean part of that is because he is still partialy the representation of a Brazil so outdated that it became cult, but ignoring the steriotype thing (as I always do) -, yes, he is charismatic, flirty and impulsive and kindda silly, but he is also totaly an intelectual. I don't care what any cannon says if one of the Caballeros studied music theory it was him! Not only that but he focused on brazilian music theory.

Entering in headcanon space: he is also a big reader, a massive fan of the classics (both the english, spanish and portuguese ones) and loves to quote them and talk like a charming characther of any of the novels he's reading at the moment. And he is of course a huge theater AND movie nerd and yes he is the annoying type. He WILL interrupt a conversation about superhero movies - much to Launchpad despair - to talk about brazilian comedy O Auto da Compadessida (it's also a play and my dream it's to play the devil in it) or mexican classic El Castillo de La Pureza or begrundly talk about how great argentinian indie cinema is.

Now it's cannon that he is a massive fan of Bossa Nova and old school samba (yes there is a difference between old school samba and modern samba, no I will not elaborate) and I find fair to infer that he would also be a massive jazz fan and honestly I cannot see him as anything but a Tropicalia guy, maybe classic sertanejo, Luis Gonzaga style. Not that he wouldn't hear and enjoy other modern music genres, when it cames to music I see Zé as a very ecletic, jack of all trades, person. But I think this genres are his favorites and what he listens to when he is alone, the songs in his Spotify playlist.

To end my mix of cannon and headcannon things with a list of headcannons based on that:

- He played João Grilo in a school production of O Auto da Compadecida.

- He loves Chico Buarque and Tom Jobin. And their college appartment would sudenttly change from Donald's Nirvana discos to Zé's Buarque ones and Panchito was the only one who noticed the style dissonance.

- He introduced Donald to poems/poets of the second wave of romantism in Brazil (they are very emo and extremely morbid) and they are Donald's favorites to a point Zé almost regrets showing it to him.

- He also made Panchito a fan of modernist brazilian literature. Panchito loved them and thanked by introducing Zé to mexican indie cinema. Panchito regrets it a lot. He created a movie snob monster.

- His favorite author is Machado de Assis (his favorite non-brazilian author is Jane Austen) and he is indoutrinating Huey into loving Machado as well. His favorite Machado book is Memórias Postunas de Brás Cubas (known to english speakers as Epitath of a Small Winner wich is not a direct translaction but it's a very accurate portrait of the book - also yes, I choose this one because it's my favorite Machado book, though his short tales are also great and the other two long books are fantastic).

- He does not have a favorite movie.

- As a true brazilian, by with a mean he grew up with a weird rivality with Argentina, he does hates the fact he loves argentinian cinema soo much.

- While Scrooge doesn't like him very much they do bond quite a lot through loving jazz and being cinema snobs. Scrooge will never admit he changed his view on him though.

Pauci tamen reperiuntur quibus natura indocilis est.*

- Piccolomini

We encounter few, however, who are unteachable by nature.*

When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

El Crimen del Padre Amaro (2002, Carlos Carrera) 🇲🇽

With release delayed a few months to avoid collision with the Pope's visit, around the time the Catholic church was being exposed for pedophilia all over the world, the film broke box office records in Mexico after the country’s Catholic leadership and conservative / anti-abortion groups tried to ban it, driving even more people to see it.

It proceeded to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards and won Best Picture at the Ariel Awards.
