** HistoricalBadassUpgrade[=/=]HistoricalBeautyUpgrade: Contrary to popular perception and media depictions in Filipino culture for decades, recent Filipino historians say Lapu-lapu was probably not a young, ripped warrior at the battle of Mactan. Since he was the chief, it's more probable that he was already an older man, possibly pudgy too, and likely didn't fight directly, instead leading and marshalling his ''barangay(s)'' (village(s)) to fight Magellan's men.

* TheGhost: Lapu-lapu never appears in person in Pigafetta's account or in the few other accounts of others on the expedition, but is only spoken of, despite his people of Mactan killing Magellan. He is thus a somewhat enigmatic figure that has been the subject of romanticization in Filipino culture for at least over a century if not centuries, as he became a nationalist symbol in the country's journey towards nationhood and independence.

* OldSoldier: Contrary to popular perception, Lapu-lapu was not a young, ripped warrior at the battle of Mactan. As the chief, he was actually described as an old man, possibly pudgy too, and likely didn't fight directly, instead leading and marshalling his ''barangay'' (village) to fight Magellan's men.

* EastIndies: The expedition makes its way through maritime Southeast Asia, including its transit through what later Spanish conquistadores would name the Philippines and claim for the Spanish crown. As yet uncolonised by Spain, the Philippine cultures featured here exist on a cultural continuum with the rest of maritime Southeast Asia, which boasts a mixture of indigenous-Austronesian, Indian and (most recently) Islamic influences.

''The First Voyage Around The World'', also known as ''Magellan's Voyage Around The World'' in the English language, is a written account of the three-year (1519-1522) expedition around the world of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer and his fleet the “Armada de Molucca”, with his expedition sponsored and approved by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who was also known as the Charles I, King of Spain. But not exactly as Magellan doesn’t even reach Spain back as he loses his life on one of the islands of Philippines through a conflict with a certain group of natives in which the first national hero of the Philippines, Datu Lapu-Lapu, belonged to. His body never returned to Spain as well. Hence the journey is also called the Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation as Spanish navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano led the return trip to Spain.

Interestingly, this account became the main source for, of all things, a children's animated movie: the 2019 Spanish 3D animation ''WesternAnimation/ElcanoAndMagellanTheFirstVoyageAroundTheWorld'', which takes great liberties with the events of the expedition and was controversial Philippines for portraying natives in a stereotypical light.

For what I can read, the film was not pulled from distribution, and about the booing, I would need some source.

* TropicalIslandAdventure: A lot of the voyage naturally consists of sojourns on tropical islands: Guam, present-day Philippines and Indonesia, etc. … Subverted, in a sense, however, in that it's not an ''adventure'' by any stretch of the imagination for most of the native populations on the receiving end of Magellan's men's abuses. Even for Magellan himself it ends up not being an adventure, killed as he was off the island of Cebu by Visayan chief Lapu-lapu's forces.

* WoodenShipsAndIronMen: It's a voyage at the start of the Age of Sail, so naturally the expedition crew have to be hardened sailors—the tiny minority of 18 that survived out of the vast crew of 270, and the one ship out of five that completed the circumnavigation, very much attest to this.

* EvilColonialist: Of course, the expedition would not see itself as this, but Pigafetta does record how Magellan tried to force the precolonial Filipino natives to convert to Catholicism and recognise (i.e. submit to) the Spanish sovereign, with predictably disastrous results. Prior to this he was also known to have torched native settlements on Guam because he thought they were stealing the ship's goods when in fact it had started as a trade misunderstanding.
