Wazzup Pilipinas!
Shanti Dope’s song “Amatz” plays during a scene in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
As our heroes enter Madripoor, Shanti's song started playing. Pinoy pride livering from there on.
Is this the same song na pinapa-ban ng mga pulis or imbento lang ako?
Shanti: 1
PDEA: 0
Yung mas na a-acknowledge pa ng ibang bansa yung kanta ng PINOY kesa sa kapwa PINOY. Putcha nakaka tuwa, lupet mo Shanti.
Also I noticed during the credits that a picture of Madripoor can be seen with the words "Isang Mundo, Isang Tao." (The slogan of the Flag-Smashers in Filipino).
This only mean Madripoor could be based on Filipino Culture knowing Madripoor in the comics is based on an Asian community?
Though, I still think SEA nations in general and not just the philippines knowing that madripoor is a southeast asian island, like a fictional capital of SEA.
I just saw the map in the comics, and the spot where the island is located is like the spot where our country sits. Plus based from it's history, it was stated that it was once ruled by Japan.
Winter Soldier said Madripoor is an island in the Indonesian archipelago, but they played a Filipino rap song to set the tone of the place. Not complaining, just saying.
The major languages are English, French, and Filipino according to the Marvel database fandom wiki.
Well, geography wise. There is something wrong with it, but now we seeing and hearing Filipino Languages being used for Madripoor seems promising.
I can't wait for the MCU and networks to showcase some of marvel's SEA characters. Especially our very own.
Damn lots of Filipino culture as plot points in a lot of shows im watching. Mark and Amber eating halo-halo in Invincible and now Shanti Dope.
I wonder how PH feels about Shanti Dope’s Amatz now after hearing it on #TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier when not too long ago the government banned it from any media airplay.
