On March 17, Kapuso star Miguel Tanfelix emphasized how Gen Z viewers could relate to Voltes V: Legacy.
At the media conference for GMA Regional TV for Voltes V: Legacy, Tanfelix highlighted how they added layers to their characters with their adaptation.
“Actually, ‘yun nga ‘yung maganda sa Voltes V: Legacy, sa adaptation namin is mas tao, mas makapal ‘yung layers ng characters namin. So kung ano ‘yung mga pinagdadaanan ng mga Gen Z na katulad namin na may malalaking responsibilities, kunyari kung ihahalintulad natin siya sa breadwinner ng pamilya, nagtra-trabaho sa pamilya, nag-aaral.”
He also noted the themes they planned to tackle in the series to make it relatable to their audiences.
“Kasi, hindi naman nawawala ‘yung responsibilities everyday, or kunyari sa pamilya ikaw ‘yung may pinaka- malaking responsibility pero paano mo ibabalance ‘yung pagiging bata mo, ‘yung youth mo paano ipaglalaban ‘yun at tsaka ‘yung kabilang part is ‘yung responsibilities, para sa akin isa ‘yun sa mga relatable sa story ng Voltes V: Legacy.”
As for their series, Tanfelix detailed the challenges he faced in Voltes V: Legacy.
“Actually, ngayon lang ako nakaranas ng Sci-Fi na genre, so iba talaga ‘yung approach pagdating sa set. Iba ‘yung gusto ni Direk, iba ‘yung hinihingi ng acting coach namin. Pero, kung pagbabasehan mo ‘yung pattern, kailangan mo lang tumingin sa core ng character. Kasi, you can never go wrong kapag kung ano ‘yung core ng character. ‘Yung ‘yung kanina pa namin sinasabi na hinu-humanize namin ‘yung character, dahil doon mas makaka-relate ka.
“‘Yung pagiging futuristic noong material, mga dagdag na lang ‘yun eh, dagdag nuances. Pero, mas mabuo mo ‘yung characters kailangan mong tumingin sa core, at mare-realize mo na hindi siya nalalayo sa mga nakakatabi mo araw-araw. So kailangan mo lang talaga mag-observe, so ‘yun ‘yung pinaka-mahirap, at pinaka-key para makabuo ka ng isang character.”
