Darna

I strongly dislike this show not because of the cringe CGI effects which is understood but the material itself is really unfaithful from its original comics story. I feel offended as a reader. Inconsistency of Darna's costume is another issue for me. And that villains so called "EXTRAS" is not my cup of the tea. Maybe they just wanted to take people away from our traditional viewing experiences before (Yes, we had two versions already done for the last decades).

Despite of that, thanks for the actors who played their roles seriously - this is the good side. Jane De Leon is good pick for new Darna, Janella Salvador has charismatic appeal on portraying the most rival enemy of Darna but again, Unfaithful and Inconsistent made me not to watch the show already.

I don't this this is great app for me to run too I honestly thought that I would be able to enjoy each and every episode of this series but then I've come to realize that I cannot even watch a single episode now is this platform for only trailers or it's only me who doesn't know what to do because I honestly searched thinking everything will be found but only to find that it's just a trailer which has annoyed me. To the extent of thinking that I may even delete the app for good since it no longer nice for me to use it anyway if that's how you sort out your things you had me really but then I qu.

Season 1 CGI was unrealistic and poor but I can notice that It improved in season 2. They keep making the story a loop, Valentina kills people to be more powerful, attacks Darna, Valentina gets hurt and escape and kills more people to attack Darna again but yet gets defeated and escapes once again.

I feel like their disrespecting the show and the characters because of the random storyline. It was poorly written and directed. Everytime Darna fights, it's always slo-mo. Did she even practice fighting BTS? All she does is punch, kick and use her powers she only focus on her poses. Darna also lacks common sense.

An inconsistent reason is when Darna steps on Valentina's snakes to hurt her but when polices shoot the snakes, Valentina doesn't get hurt? This makes no sense. Burgo is said to be a very powerful alien leader but with only 1 solidier (ishna)? There are too much extras, it's very unrealistic and unessesary.

A major problem is, the show copies American TV shows.

This one- specifically DC's STARGIRL.

The most obvious is their copying of Cindy Berman from Stargirl. From the characters demeanour to her hair and make-up.

I only watched one episode of Darna; and even the dialogues are similar to that of Stargirl.

I am disgusted. Mars Ravelo should know his name is being dragged down by hack writers who do not have the imagination to create a screenplay that's worthy of acclaim.

I don't have faith in GMA writers. They're in it for the money. They have been doing this for a long time!!!

I hope people realise that.

The reimagine version of Narda is by far the best among all adaptations. How she is characterized in this series provided her story with a richer context. The pacing is gentle and well written. While this version is far different from how Mars Ravelo originally visioned it way back in the (30s) 50s, the change is significant to the current generation. The different take to Valentina's character is also phenomenal. Jane de Leon is marvelous as Darna/Narda while Iza Calzado gave justice as the first Darna. Overall its good but I'll give it an impressive 9 out of ten because there's always room for improvement.
