Darna's Impressive 1st Night Rating

When the new Darna was revealed, a number of detractors have been very skeptical of Marian Rivera's capability of matching Angel Locsin's Darna and its consistent high ratings. I now believe that bad publicities, negative comments and a lot of hard work can result to amazing ratings. Indeed, Marian can stand alone and Darna is a well loved heroine in the Philippines. I am already convinced that Marian is the new Primetime Queen!

The pilot of Darna last night generated a whopping 44.1% (AGB) 47.6 %(TNS) in Mega Manila. This is despite the fact that Marian Rivera has yet to appear. - Marian Rivera, truly the QUEEN of PRIMETIME on Philippine Television!!

Marian enjoying her new role as Darna!

Narda On Darna's Statue

Narda riding Darna's statue. I am clueless of Ian de Leon's role.

Narda's favorite past time.

Did Narda lose her childhood memories?

Is this Marian's Darna Yell already?

Valentina & the Official Darna Logo

Young Valentina envious of Narda's hair.

She can't be wearing a turban forever.

Iwa Moto's Queen of theDamned inspired Valentina. Maybe I'm wrong.

Darna's Villainesses

Nadine Samonte as Babaeng Impakta. She looks like she's carrying Precious (Lord of the Rings) or some Anak ni Janice (Tiyanak) or Undin. Click Images to Enlarge them.

Francine Prieto's towering Babaeng Tuod. She really looks fierce!

Ehra Madrigal's Babaeng Lawin reminded me of this Japanese Movie that has a heroine with wings. Hopefully, the special effects will be consistent.

Maggie Wilson's Babaeng Linta is somewhat boring. I never knew leeches have tentacles.

Si DARNA Ang Tunay na Bayani ng Buong Bayan

Marian Rivera Trains Fan as Darna in Dare Duo

This is Marian Rivera as an ordinary mortal. The new Darna series has the limping Narda.

This is soo Sci-Fi! I can't help but notice the 2 moons. GMA's really investing a lot in this series.

Darna flies and see the new logo/insignia.

Some super heroine pose.

This pix reminds me of Superman and Smallville. Some ancestors.

Clearer side view flying pose.

Darna in Ayala, Makati City? or is this in Ortigas?

Clearer pix, at least Darna doesn't look like she's a Manananggal. The moon's craters or are those tree branches? --- made it look like Darna has wings.

Darna - New Generation. Hmmm, reminded me of Wonder Woman's pose.

From a limping Narda to an invincible Heroine - "Darna"

This video shows how Marian Rivera trained her fan as Darna in QTV's Dare Duo. Enjoy!

Marian Rivera's DARNA training wannabe Boobay in Kay Susan Tayo

When I heard Marian Rivera's name as the new Darna, I had doubts if she can give justice to the role. Angel Locsin portrayed an athletic Darna, something that previous Darnas were not able to do. Marian can definitely swim with her mermaid costume in Dyesebel but can she do fight scenes?

After watching her training in Wushu and her balancing act using a harness, I'm more than 100% convinced, Marian can be a better Darna as compared to Angel Locsin. I have not seen Angel do a back flip when landing nor more complicated fight scene moves.

To better understand the level of difficulty of Marian's Darna moves, watch her train Boobay in an episode of Kay Susan Tayo. I have seen these videos for more than a dozen times already and I get the same feeling of unexplained laughter. Boobay is very very funny! Also, the bloated Regine Velasquez impersonator is very promising! Watch and experience the same joy! ENJOY!
