Kontrabida Academy - Embracing Our Villain Era

What seems to be the most overused plot in TV and movies is what made Kontrabida Academy fun and entertaining in its run. We all know the dynamics of bidas and kontrabidas and how they make the story interesting, and it sometimes also shows in reality with our own heroes and villains in our lives. 

Barbie and Eugene paired with the most iconic villains of many generations is celebrated as an institution in this film. Being too good does have its limits and will definitely bring out the pent up badness in everyone. Chris Martinez indeed is a master in terms of campy comedy with a touch of sci-fi. And it also jabs in some commentary on the entertainment industry on taking new risks or sticking to the formula that they think still works. 

Kontrabida Academy was indeed a delightful surprise and I would think a spin off can also be possible to extend to more iconic Pinoy villains.

Kontrabida Academy  is now streaming on Netflix.
