I've never believed that staying faithful to the source material is actually a good thing for the Mars Ravelo characters. In fact, my problem with the American superhero movies is that they are TOO faithful to their source material to the point of being silly.
The REAL problem of Mars Ravelo's Captain Barbell is that its just completely hollow in terms of character depth and whether it is original or not isn't even a concern anymore, though that is something I may address in my follow-up. :)
In fact, I think Filipino TV and movies would do well to learn to rip off the international media (American or not). I say rape and pillage the foreign culture... at least as soon as they can inject some interiority into their stuff.
At least it's not another movie in which the producers are trying to be clever by naming it with a pun on 'Mano Po', which to me is far worse than an actual Mano Po sequel.
halata bang unemployed ako at walang magawang makabuluhan ngayon sa buhay?
Say this with a sexy woman voice and you have an ad for a party line right there.
sabagay. tsismis nga nun bago magkaroon ng sequel 'yung mano po na magkakaroon daw at kasama raw si fpj at mano po jr. daw pamagat, hehehehe.
I keep thinking there is a pun set-up to be made about Mother Lily Monteverde and Lily's Peanut Butter for a film called "Mani Po", but I don't know how to phrase it. Look what you have done, now I'M the one making Mano Po puns.
