[edit] About the image

The image is too dark. Can someone upload a more lighter image of Darna? --Jojit fb 5 July 2005 02:40 (UTC)

This image of darna is of the original works of darna so no offense to ^(the above statement author) it was most probable of being drawn that way!

I'm referring to the very first image posted here (not the current one). I think that the image was changed and it is no longer dark. Please see the date of my comment. Articles in Wikipedia changes rapidly, so my previous comment is already irrelevant. Cheers! :-) --Jojit fb 08:27, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved the television infobox

Hi Imortalheze77, I moved your television infobox to the Darna (2005 TV Series). --Jojit fb 7 July 2005 04:21 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the misconception section

I returned the information that tells about why Darna is a woman. I based that sentence on this link. If you disagree with it, please indicate here. I think that sentence is important and it has a NPOV. Cheers! --Jojit fb 02:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Separate the TV info from the original info!

Like the heading says. 203.131.137.90 09:42, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] (near) Contradiction

In two places, the Filipine epic bird is mentioned - in one place saying explicitly that it is NOT the source of the name and in another coming close to saying the opposite. It would be clearer if the two references were brough closer together and clarified.

[edit] Review

203.131.145.10 added his own review to the article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. There is no room for personal point of views in it. Every article should maintain a neutral point of view. Please refrain from adding your own thoughts about the subject to the article.

The review was as follows:

Although the 2005 series hype and the stats above make it look like a well-made story, all this excitement fizzles off
when you actually follow the daily installments. Much of this Darna story arc is borrowed from more recent rewrites
of superhero plotlines (notably Smallville and it's freak of the week features, and Spiderman's grappling with
his public responsibility versus personal life).

A thin storyline in a superhero series could be easily compensated by its action and built-in hero-villain conflict --
elements which could be found in Darna 2005, but which the inept writers and director still fail to put together into a
coherent story. (The Mango rewrite is also heir to this anemic treatment of the rich Darna material, btw.) You could see
the creative team struggling behind the all-important question of "What next?" as boring villain after boring villain
tried to spread terror unsuccessfully both in Darna's world and in this reviewer's patience. Our impression with this
fiasco is that the Darna team may have been given a long series duration, which they could not fill up with their thin
material. For example, how long could we hang on as the alien villains (Celia Rodriguez) seem to take forever to plot
their takeover of the world? Week after week, we see them discussing, but week after week, all they could come up
with is the manufacture of one pitiful villain!

An avid Darna fan who has followed the movies for decades, this reviewer tried hard to give the 2005 series a second,
third, and even fourth chance. But the love of good work won over tolerance of bad product. In general, the whole
series was a disappointment.
