Joshua Garcia has struck audiences with his affecting dual role as the reliable police officer Brian Robles and the wicked Extra called Dark Brian in the hit primetime series “Mars Ravelo’s Darna.”

Netizens were in awe of Joshua’s Dark Brian portrayal, which resulted in a vile character who is effective in pretending to be the original Brian and destroying the policeman’s good reputation.

@KhennDominic commended Joshua for his attack on the character. He said, “Grabe yung @iamjoshuagarcia! Para talaga akong nanonood ng magkaibang tao!”

“Super best actor si Joshua parang ibang katauhan talaga!,” said @AllyAStarIsBorn. “Joshua really portrayed dark Brian so well! Nakakabadtrip na ung pagkabatugan nya,” posted @Zynn232 on Twitter.

Meanwhile, another netizen noted that Dark Brian’s role is a crucial moment in the story that will likely trigger Regina Vanguardia (Janella Salvador) to become the mortal enemy of Darna (Jane De Leon) thru Regina’s alter ego, Valentina.

“Ang talino ng pagkakasulat nitong Dark Brian plot. Ilalabas further ang galit ni Regina dahil sa feeling of betrayal na pinasakay lang siya, at hindi talaga si Brian na mahal niya yun. Lavet!,” said @PrincessFrance.

Dark Brian’s passionate kissing scene with Regina was also one of the most talked about scenes in “Darna,” along with the first-ever face-off of Darna and Valentina to beat the XTriads.
