I've had it. They done f****d this up. Damn you Philippine Local Media @&%#@#*!
I may be late on the reaction here, but I just recently been made aware of the local remake of a DC tv series: ARROW, here in the Philippines. It's Alyas Robin Hood. That ticked me off at the first look. They didn't even acknowledge the comic book hero himself: The Green Arrow aka Oliver Queen. ARGH!!!!
Secondly, it looks like a blatant rip-off. With obviously lower production costs and phoned in acting by local "celebrities". Ugh. It pains me as a fan of anything from the comic book universe.
Here let's take a look at the steaming pile of excrement that Philippine local media has churned:
Well I mean... GODD***IT!!! Sorry about that it just ticks me off to no end when people trash things of merit just to make a quick buck. I don't like GMA. I don't like Ding Dong. I don't like their effects. What I do love is Green Arrow as a character. Even Heatwave as a character. and to watch them be made into caricatures and poor quality production. I seek blood.
Not to mention, they've ignored the proper treatment of Philippine local comic book stories. I've met creative comic book artists and writers at our conventions and they have characters that are worthy of more attention. The Trese series itself has a cult following. Why not make a weekly series about that? with proper production it would be awesome as an action horror series and something our country can be proud of. Wanokuro could be a short animation series. But please enough of the f grade copycat stupidity....
Also we need a better re-telling of our classic Philippines comic book superheroes. Lastik man, Buhawi Jack and Capt. Barbell.And most of all, Darna. If we could make a comic book universe with our characters maybe then we can get the creative respect of the world. But Damn we get dumb stuff like alyas Robin Hood....
I await an evolution on local media in the Philippines...
Anyone have any comments about the Alyas Robin Hood abomination? Let me know in the comment section. Til then enjoy your comics!!!
