Darna

The premise of the show during its production hinted at what could be a more serious or darker tone compared to DCEU or MCU, the excitement it held upon advertisement was overwhelming and brought some semblence of a new modernistic take on Darna

But boy was I wrong, TOO WRONG. The uncanny valley of where this show wants to show people is inconsistent as seen in numerous episodes, sometimes it feels like a sitcom. Including the countless continuity errors throughout the entire show from the start

The show played itself too safe and too generic, there is no risk involved, producing one joke of a clichè.

The worst darna ever! I get regret for watching this shows! Only trailers are good but the real series is so bad and low quality! This shouldn't deserve world !class The casts are over-acting! The VFX are very low quality! The storyline is complicated and the series is repeated most scenes again and again! So, if you waste your precious time , you watch this! The villians are not scary but funny! At the end of the series, all people became extra is so disappointed! The writers are very stupid! If there were Mars Ravelo, I'm sure that he may cry after watching this because they destroy the Darna's being !!!

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.

This series was highly marketed as "this generation's Darna". It's interesting because, with Philippines' recent elections, this generation is probably the most politically aware generation in the Philippines since the EDSA revolution. This led me to believe that this generation's Darna would delve deep into the various dilemmas that society (especially Philippine society) faces today and what causes these illnesses in the society. Similar to the Darna komiks of old.

In the first 2 weeks, I thought it would deliver. But the plot soon went downhill. The story is veering towards something akin to a Philippine romance teleserye instead of a superhero show.

Although the cast clearly put effort in their acting, it can only do so much on a lack luster script with cringey dialogue and contrived scenes. The set design also feels like a high budget school play and can definitely be identified when it's being shot in a studio.
