Victor Magtanggol is here
GMA’s newest (and controversial) ‘telefantasya’ just dropped a full-length trailer yesterday, and honestly, for the most part, it looks pretty nice.
What? I’m being objective here. ‘Thor knockoff’ accusations aside, it really is!
I mean, cmon, the costume looks dope
Andrea Torres looks adorbs as Sif
Loki looks… different, but alright, I can still roll with this
If you haven’t guessed by now, ‘Victor Magtanggol’ borrows heavily from Norse mythology, retaining other familiar elements such as ‘Asgard’, ‘Mjolnir’ and even their own version of ‘Thor.’
Which is why people can’t help but make references to it’s more…erm…famous MCU counterpart
Altho some were quick to point out one thing
Not defending GMA Network or their shows, specifically Victor Magtanggol, but it was not based on Marvel’s “Thor” but on Norse Mythology’s “Thor”
Mga tanga lang naniniwala na Marvel’s version of the Norse god is the “original and only” version

Technically speaking, GMA’s Victor Magtanggol is really based on Norse Mythology just like Marvel’s Thor. Nothing’s really bad about that, tbh. Kaso kase people is already hooked with Marvel’s Thor… kaya nasslam ng ganon yung Victor Magtanggol.

all jokes aside, I am going to defend Victor Magtanggol fantaseries from the haters. guys, (at least) they’re trying to come up with a decent fantaseries since Encantadia and Mulawin. I’ll give them props for making a huge improvement in costumes and graphics.

From Mulawin to Encantadia ang now Victor Magtanggol, GMA is really investing on making the CGI better and better. Jan naman nila talo ang ABS. I don’t think anyone will argue with that. #ALDUB158thWeeksary #VICTORMAGTANGGOLin4Days
