Premise

Many gods, including Thor, will not survive the Ragnarök. Before Thor's death, he orders his son Magni to hide his weapon, the hammer Mjölnir, until there is someone right to inherit it. Magni goes to the world of mortals to wait for the new taker of Mjölnir. There he meets Victor Magtanggol, the one who must eventually learn to use Mjölnir to protect the world and his loved ones from Móði, Thor's son and Magni's brother, who is upset for not inheriting Mjölnir, and Loki who plans to spread chaos in the mortal world.

Production

GMA Network tasked writers to come up for a television series based on Norse mythology. Jules Katanyag, concept creator of Victor Magtanggol described what he and other writers came up as "best reflects the Filipino condition," which is that of uncertainty.

The show is set in present-day Philippines, after several Norse deities including Thor died following Ragnarök, a series of catastrophic events in the Norse Mythology. Part of the series was also shot outside of the Philippines.

The theme song "Superhero Mo," is a collaboration between Alden Richards and hip-hop group, Ex Battalion. The later composed the song. A lyric video for the song was released by GMA Music on May 28, 2018.

Reception

Victor Magtanggol was heavily criticized by audiences due to its similarities to Marvel's Thor. Upon the release of the tv series' full trailer audience were quick to point out the titular character's poses to that of the Marvel superhero. A representative from GMA defended Victor Magtanggol from critics and said that while the show is based on the same source material from Norse mythology, it is not a copy of the popular Marvel Thor comics and films — but not many are buying it. Others pointed out similarities to Doctor Strange's portals, Eye of Agamotto, and Medusa's hair. The character Gwen, played by Janine Gutierrez has criticized as a copy of Lois Lane, coincidentally the Marvel character Gwen Stacy is a journalist in Spider-Man 3.

Audience were also critical of the show's effects.
