IEP37 - notable for the first battle between Darna and the latest Extra - Silent Shocker. Why he's called "Silent", I don't know, because he talks a lot. Perhaps the Chatty Zapper was already taken? However, the problem is that earlier on, Richard saw her transform, and thus there is now ...

Where can one stream the new Darna series ? Let alone the 2005 series ? Have been looking but nada It's Narda, not nada (!!) :D For the 2022 series, legitimately all episodes are available at iWantTFC for a subscription. Episodes have been put up in parts at JeepneyTV's YouTube channel, although wh...

Luckily, we've got some great things to come next week: - Looks like Darna fights a seriously well-powered Extra with electric shock powers (her version of 'Electro', I guess). - It also looks like Narda will get into terrible peril with Snake Woman. Really love Valentina's costume. - Also, Xandra ...

Not a bad action sequence? :) It might be one of the best superheroine action sequences on TV of all time. Well it was ruined a little by the fact that the guns bounced like lightweight plastic replicas when they hit the floor. :D But the show certainly put a lot of effort into it, a lot more than ...

Well that would be about right. This is a promotional tour for pinoy TV, they're not going to be playing the Hollywood Bowl, Sydney Opera House, and Royal Albert Hall.

Plus, Valentina is very sexy. That transformation in front of the mirror tonight (Episode 32) was top notch - scary, but also super hot.

https://streamable.com/2zb8ks Got to give the Darna team credit, their special effects may not be up to the quality of a CW superhero production, but their super-villains are a lot more effective. I know we get a lot of ghost and clone people as the episode-to-episode goons, but the big evils like B...

Wow, the Las Vegas thing seems a little weird - you would think they would do a tour of California instead, with the largest concentrations of Filipinos in the US being in SF (Daly City) and LA (all over LA County). I wonder what these two ladies are going to do for $55 and up? (meet and greet? act...

Something else that occurred to me regarding the number of action sequences... The show began filming in September 2021, and carries a notice at the start of each episode saying that it complies with government Covid 19 restrictions. This explains why episodes seem to be almost entirely shot in or a...

Now that she and general Borgo are also shapeshifters I am going to bet either Regina's dad or colleague is one of them as their plan is to manipulate the extras to test Darna (and an unidentified male companion of Regina died in the first episode even though it was never brought up again). My earl...

- At least we get some nice costume shots of her flying with Brian, and her in the hospital. And the publicizing of her actual name, "Darna", is a nice (and long-awaited) revelation, so we can stop hearing the phrase Babaeng Lumilipad at long last. The crowd keeps repeating how pretty she...

five_red

Having a show that's on daily, I'm guessing they're trying to save some money by limiting the action scenes which would require CGI. Of course the risk is that those who watch to see superhero action might get gradually turned-off by the cutesy rom-com that we are getting now, so the show runners b...

five_red

I read more and more complaints from Philippine viewers (who are used to the telenovela format) that the show is too much of love triangle and police mystery show and not enough of a superheroine one. I tend to agree right now; even the male cop is getting more action than Darna lol. I think the se...

We are at episode 20 and still no major darna - supervillain fight and/or peril. Only some minor villains. The teaser for next week also doesn't show any major action happening. They are definitely taking the slow build-up approach which I don't mind :yes: I guess the total episode count could be s...

The citizens of Nueva Esperanza managed to think of a monicker for an Extra but can't seem to think of a better one for Darna, lol. Granted, "Killer Ghost" is not exactly witty, but surely it's more creative than "Babaeng Lumilipad (Flying Woman)". 😅 I hope they start calling he...

Random stuff I noticed while watching Mars Ravelo's Flying Woman: There's a large stuffed dog next to the front door in the Custodio home, which is a bit random.

The quadrilateral identity thing has been done before - most recently with Miraculous Ladybug / Marinette and Chat Noir / Adrian. Although this is obviously a different vibe. True. That slipped my mind. Valentina's debut was OK. I'm not sure what her costume will look like yet (she just wore a loos...

five_red

So nobody is going to comment on Valentina's intro..? They're setting up an interesting dynamic between Narda, Darna, Regina, and Valentina. I mean we're used to the usual superhero two person love triangle (Clark/Lois/Superman, or Diana/Steve/Wonder Woman), but now we have a quadrilateral frenemy s...

If you say so. There was precicely 0 real peril in the original Darna show. Seeing as how the action scenes in this show seem to just be quick cuts of Darna superspeed punching folk inbetween visible slides I don't consider it of much substance. It's pretty low quality stuff from what I've seen. Wh...

And somehow, Narda manages to sneak away without the bad guy noticing, even though he clearly notices her moving towards the heart attack victim? To be fair, the second time Narda moved she was closer towards the edge of the room rather than directly in the bomber's line of sight. And Regina was in...

five_red

If we're on the subject of nit-picking, can I put on record how slow Narda is to respond to an emergency in episode 12? From the time Narda leaves the hall to the time she reaches the stairs and becomes Darna is almost three and a half minutes. Then there's another full minute for Darna to show up b...

five_red

If Narda and Ding are talking to each other in the bushes for a good five minutes, how does the villain not hear them? I think they're meant to be hiding in a large wood, and he's meant to be far enough away they he can't hear them whispering, I also think you have to suspend disbelief about the vo...

five_red

Interestingly they keep switching between two costumes probably because they decided to change costumes while shooting and didn’t bother with reshoots. Unless [...pauses for dramatic music...] Darna was actually the shape shifting alien and Ding just fell into their trap..!! Yikes! :shutup: R5

I wrote a review. See if you agree with my assessment.

I think what they are doing is slowly building pressure on Narda. She was forced into becoming Darna the first time to save the townsfolk from the earthquake, but Narda is still denying that she is worthy of taking over from her mother. This is a break from convention because normally when a hero fi...

Well, those who complain about pretty much nothing happening in the second She-Hulk episode can also take reassurance that not a whole happens in Episodes 7 and 8 of the Darna series, either. Five episodes a week. You can't expect Darna in every episode. She'll likely be back in episode ten for the...

five_red

^In this version, the "original" Darna's alter-ego's name was Leonor, which was far removed from Darna. It seems she had been preparing her daughter to take on the mantle of Darna since birth, so it wasn't really a wise decision for her use an anagram when she named her daughter. :D I was...

five_red

This means our heroine has to be very careful about when she says Narda's name. Remember the old trope where someone will ask "But what happened to Jane?" and the heroine will respond "Oh don't worry about Jane. I saved her from the bomb just in time and she's waiting for you outside...

Episode 6 finds Darna wondering how she is going to change back - she enters a secluded shed, and is almost caught in her transformation when she accidentally says her own name (the change-back trigger), but she becomes Narda just in time to avoid detection by the nosy Regina (who is also gorgeous ...

By episode 4 (I might be wrong, but by my count she becomes Darna in EP4) she is in a perilous situation whereby the spectre of her mother - or some kind of guiding spirit from Planet Marte? not sure which - appears to deliver the stone to her. It has the "Darna" characters on it in Marte...
