<p>Netizens are stoked over the full trailer of <strong>“Darna: The TV Series”</strong> which presents the iconic woman warrior in an entirely new vision that is strikingly modern.</p><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WxckpnBPZLU" title="Darna | Official Trailer" width="1280"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Albeit unassuming, Narda, Darna’s human alter-ego, is seen in the trailer as a skilled high school student who protects her friends from bullies. This alone provides a new breed of storytelling in the journey of the iconic Pinay amazon. To recall, the Nardas before were mostly depicted as weaklings. But Jane De Leon, the Narda now, is badass even without the magical stone, as netizens noted.</p><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">just saw the new <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DarnaTrailer?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DarnaTrailer</a> and all i can say is that i love how there&#x27;s a huge foundation into narda&#x27;s character. she&#x27;s trained and skilled, she can fight without the white stone. the cinematography and casting is just brilliant. hopefully we get an angel locsin cameo. <a href="https://t.co/lPp8TQ9ISg">pic.twitter.com/lPp8TQ9ISg</a></p>— porsche (@pjggulmayo) <a href="https://twitter.com/pjggulmayo/status/1545064822328270848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 7, 2022</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This got me! <a href="https://twitter.com/MissIzaCalzado?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MissIzaCalzado</a> is acting from fingertips to toes!
