Just saw this post from a fan page. To be clear I have nothing against Terra or Bianca Umali pero shet if this is how most viewers define the term "bida" or main character, then it shows how shallow these people are. Yes, malaking factor 'yung physical strength and power to defeat the enemy, but having an interesting back story and journey--eto talaga ang reason kung bakit sinusubaybayan ng mga tao 'yung show, not just because the character is strong and powerful.
Again, I have nothing against Terra, but I also get why other people find Deia a more interesting character. Because Terra's story is already cliche af:
-Separated from her biological parents as a baby
-Adopted and raised by humans
-Bullied for being different
-Manifesting her powers, etc.
It's a recycled story of Lira. The only difference is that Terra started her training in combat at an earlier age and played this superhero kineme in the mortal world which in my opinion is just a plot filler to make the story longer I mean, we're supposed to be focusing in the world of a fucked up Encantadia and how to save it from the evil forces but...oh well.
Anyway, as I was saying, if physical strength and power lang ang definition mo ng bida, eh di
2. You don't really know what Encantadia is all about
True fans of the show understand the core of Encantadia. It's a story about love, unity, friendship, and faith. Besides, if Terra is the sole savior of Encantadia, then what's the point of the other gem keepers? Side kick lang gano'n? Cliche as it may seem, but the only way to defeat Mitena is for the four new gem keepers to work together, just like how their predecessors defeated Hagorn and Etheria's forces (mas na-emphasize nga lang siya sa original trilogy). It just so happens na nag-focus muna 'yung kuwento kay Terra, and now that she's already in Encantadia (hopefully) the other gem keepers would be given a chance to tell their stories.
