Netizens also replied on the post, expressing their bewilderment on the matter. Someone noted that Philippines made it earlier and others followed along.
“So, (ma’am) tayo (pala) ang (original) na may creation ng Thor sila ang nanggaya.. hahaha!”
Suzette also left her own comment, pointing out that Marvel made theirs in 1967.
“1967 ginawa ang Amerika/Marvel ang kanilang adaptation ng Thor. Nauna nga ang Pinas haha”
Another one shared a lengthy thought about Hollywood being allowed to borrow from public domain without getting any hate. On the other hand, when Philippines would borrow from public domain like Greek, Roman and Norse mythology.
“Kapag Hollywood ang nanghiram sa Greek Mythology para magawa ang mga movies like Clash of Titans, Hercules, Troy, etc… PWEDE.
Kapag Hollywood ang naghiram sa kwento ni Dracula mula sa Eastern Europe…PWEDE.
Kapag Hollywood ang naghiram sa Roman Culture para magawa ang The Eagle at Gladiator… PWEDE.
Kapag Hollywood ang nanghiram sa British Folklore para magawa ang Robin Hood… PWEDE.
Kapag gumawa ng sariling version ang Netflix ng Les Miserables mula sa French Literature… PWEDE.
Kapag gumawa ng sariling version ang Netflix ng Troy mula sa Greek Mythology… PWEDE.
Kapag gumawa ang Disney ng sariling version ng mga kwento mula sa European folklore… PWEDE.
Kapag Japanese Manga naghiram sa Greek/Roman Mythology para sa story at theme ng anime nila… PWEDE.
Kapag gumawa ng sariling version ang China ng Meteor Garden/Boys Over FLowers/Hana Yori Dango… PWEDE.
Kapag naghiram ang Marvel sa Norse Mythology para gawin ang Thor… PWEDE.
Nung napabalitang gagawa ng Filipino version ang Meteor Garden maraming nagalit. BAWAL? So Japan, Korea, Taiwan at China lang ang pwede?
Kapag nanghiram ang Filipino sa Norse Mythology maraming nagalit. BAWAL? BAKIT?
Magandang Thesis ito. Haha BAKIT? Bigyan nyo ko ng magandang sagot. Haha”
A reaction pointed out that bashers will always nitpick others.
“Naku, papatalo ba mga bashers. Siempre, hindi. They will always nitpick. Best thing to do is to ignore them.”
Annette Gozon Valdes shared a link of a Filipino Thor adaptation in 1961-1962.
“ Ito pa… kasunod!”
