GALEMA: ANAK NI ZUMA (Anne Curtis)

Something of a demigod, Zuma was the son of the Aztec serpent god Kukulkan. He was the last emperor of the Aztecs and was known then as Moctezuma. He reigned with terror by sacrificing two thousand warriors every feast day of Kukulkan by taking out their hearts and cutting off their heads at the altar of the god's temple. But this human sacrifice ended when the Spanish conqueror Hernan Cortez, believed by the Aztecs as the incarnated god Kukulkan, invaded the empire. Zuma welcomed Hernan Cortez in his realm but the latter had overtaken the empire.

In rage, the Aztecs sacrificed Zuma himself to the altar of Kukulkan, painted in green, took his heart out, and cut off his head. He had been entombed in the temple of Kukulkan, the most sacred Aztec pyramid. Through the years, the said pyramid was buried until it was unearthed by an archaeological expedition. Maya, the tour guide of the archaeological expedition is secretly an Aztec worshipper of the serpent god Kukulkan. Through her incantations and carnal rituals with the mummy of Zuma, Zuma was resurrected but was transformed into a serpent demon with bald head and green skin and giant two-headed snake (one head on each end) which he wore on his neck and rest on his shoulders, something like a lei. This snake was his primary mode of dispatching enemies, and their bite was powerful enough to decapitate an enemy. Unleashed into the modern world, he went on a murderous rampage. Maya eventually bore him a daughter, Galema (Anne Curtis). But Maya died after she had given birth to Galema. Galema looked almost human, but she was born with a two-headed snake around her neck like her father. Ironically, she held the key to her father's downfall. As Zuma held up his daughter, her snakes bit him. As it turned out, Galema's venom was toxic to her own father. Zuma appeared to die, and it seemed as though his reign of terror had ended. But only for a while.

The archaeological team took Zuma's body with them to the Philippines. And the couple Isabel (Snooky Serna) and Philip, who were members of the said team, secretly took the infant Galema and adopted her as their own daughter.

Zuma had not died, but had only gone into hibernation. He awoke years later to resume his war on humanity. His arch-nemesis turned out to be his now grown-up daughter Galema, who had been raised by human foster parents and stood on the side of good.

Zuma sired another child, Dino, by a crazy woman. Dino has the body of a normal boy but the head of a snake. Dino grew up with incredible strength. Zuma utilized him to strike terror among the townspeople. For a time Dino stood by the side of his father but later turned against him as he fall in love with a mortal woman. Galema, who is married to a mortal man Morgan (Jericho Rosales), and her twin offspring, an albino snake, helped the townspeople to capture Dino. Dino was placed in a steel cage. Galema tried to win over Dino to help her fight Zuma, but before she could do so, Zuma killed Dino. Zuma, in turn, was bitten by the albino snake and fall dead.

@jackybrown12 history major din ako at minor in english literature at mula pagkabata mahilig na talaga ako sa pag-aaral ng mga myths at history kaya mas madali kung naiintindihan ang pinaghugutan ng kwento nina jim fernandez at carlo caparas... pero tungkol kay galema, palagay ko kinuha ang kanyang pangalan sa hindu goddess na si kali ma at sa lema, peru.... dahil saklaw din ng aztec empire ang peru noon maliban pa sa centro nitong mexico

[carpio1028]

@jackybrown12 si dino naman ay mas bagay na gawing isang sobek sa egyptian mythology... nabasa ko kasi ang anak ni zuma at angkan ni zuma noong 1980s nung high school pa lang ako... kabisado ko ang pananaw ng mga nagbabasa ng komiks noon dahil sa komiks stand ako nagbabasa at kadalasan nagdadala ako ng komiks sa klase para mas maintindihan ko ang mga kaklase kong mga tagalog

[carpio1028]

@jackybrown12 at si galema sa simula ay katulad ng karakter sa aliwan komiks na may mga ahas sa balikat na itinatago sa kanyang mga buhok pero sa kalagitnaan ay kailangan siyang maging isang oriol... ang oriol ay nasa epikong hudhud o hinilawod, katulad na katulad ng karakter ni medusa sa clash of the titans... dahil ang ganong karakter kasi ay mas filipino at mas mabagsik... pero ang oriol ay hindi lamang tulad ng basilisk na kayang gawin kang bato... kaya ka rin nyag patulugin sa kanyang huni

[carpio1028]

@jackybrown12 mas maganda kung si galema ay gagawing anak ni zuma sa anak ni ahuitzotl ang aztec emperor na nagiging isang sigbin at kumakain ng puso ng mga tao... ten years old si galema sa aztec era pero magha-hibernate sa luob ng baul na pinagkulungan sa kanya at magigising sa ganoon pa ring edad sa modern period at matatagpuan nga ng mag-asawang sina philip at isabel... si morgan naman ay gagawing isang dragon warlock katulad ng karakter ni merlin sa bbc series pero dapat unti-unti

[carpio1028]

@jackybrown12 si ivan dorschner ang mas babagay na gawing morgan, isang half-american filipino... pero mas gaganda ang kwento kung idadagdag natin ang character ni ej bilang si cuatemoc at ang kanyang reincarnation sa modern times ni galema... at idagdag na rin si malinche ang anak ni zuma sa aztec era... at si kukulkan ay talagang gagawing isang dragon na nagsasalita dahil ito naman talaga ang kanyang karakter sa aztec myth... pero si galema ay hindi gagawing anak ng ginahasang si galela

[carpio1028]

@jackybrown12 si ian veneracion mas bagay na gaganap bilang si hernando cortez ang archenemy ni zuma bilang aztec emperor... cguro mas babagay si jestoni alarcon na maging zuma kung sila lang ang pagpipilian dahil magmumukha talaga siyang aztec emperor na zuma bago ito naging taong ahas. kailangan kasing ipresenta ang history ni zuma bilang tao pero hindi yung talagang nasa libro kundi yung legendary history. si jon avila babagay na gaganap bilang philip kung si andi na nga ang gaganap na galema
