@Eternal Snow or maybe she was cursed the whole time but we didnt know until season 5 lol

[@sayybree4446]

Eternal Snow No she wasn’t. She said it was a curse in season 1 too.

[@Fatemayesminn]

Eternal Snow daphne doesn’t possess the power of the dragon flame. They said Bloom was born with the dragon flame, it wasnt passed on from Daphne. Daphne was a Nymph from the start because in season 1 you can see her statue with other Nymphs of the magic dimension. I guess she’s called the Nymph of sirenix because that’s the last transformation level she acquired and its her current transformation level. She isn’t actively trying to acquire any other transformation after sirenix because that transformation is ancient and very powerful so it’s good enough for any mission, trying to get any other transformation is unnecessary. She wouldn’t get Bloomix because the dragon fire was never hers so No acts of courage would make her a bloomix fairy, no one gave her a piece of the dragon flame either and she wasn’t actively trying to acquire bloomix

[@goaway4625]

I felt that her character had potential but they treated her for population of season 4 then just threw her away like her story was over like that. We still see her which im kinda happy about but its like shes a backround character with no meaning now! When was the last time she transformed? I wish they put more depth into her character because there was pretty much no point of her even being introduced as a main character in season 4. My rant is them to create characters but give them development and more chances/lines.

Go Away She transformed once in season 7, but she still had Believix.

[@Xo-3130]

Because.... reasons.

[@sololor3539]

@Mostly Animated Sketches I think Roxy didn’t have a believix power because her believix power is incomplete...

[@anyamiller9014]

I agree. I know it's completely out of order, but I think Roxy should get Butterflix and at least one more animal based transformation as she is a Princess of Animals (or something like that). Since the show hardly did anything with her as a character or royal backstory in general, they easily could had it so Roxy gained the animal based transformations due to being of an animal based kingdom. Again, I know its out of order, but it would be cool if Faragonda said, "I'm not sure how you gained these high leveled transformations Roxy, but perhaps it has something to do with your past." Then we could have either half a season or one season dedicated to Roxy and her kingdom even if she apparently (and sadly) never become a Winx member. Then in another season, they could do a filler episode on Roxy learning what her kingdom expects of her as a Princess. Oh um sorry if I misspelled Faragonda. 😊 Also sorry about saying royal and princess so much. It just irks me the creators apparently forgot Roxy was royal and stuffed her aside as a minir supporting character. Bloom, Stella, and Aisha got noticed as royalty. Why not an episode or three for Roxy? K I'm done ranting. Lol.

5 year old me was a big 4kids fan (and despite the cringe factor I still get nostalgic over it), but tbh...winx club needs a netflix reboot (NOT world of winx, I'm really not a fan). Let the characters die, get rid of the season 5-beyond style flash and 3D animation, and don't shy away from the adult shit. A lot of teenage girls (and adults like meeee) would love to revisit the world of winx club without the awful dialogue and dubbers chickening out of the darker stuff.

[@psychopathinthemaking]

I don't mind if netflix redos it but they've got to get rid of that babyish dialogue, I swear, if I have to sit through another episode where they explain out everything that's happening instead of developing a deep and interesting plot through word play, I'm going to pull my hair out. WOW had a lot of untapped potential that got messed up purely because of the dialogue. And for the love of everything, use fan ideas, there are thousands of fan created well developed story lines that they could use if they're running out of inspiration. I mean they reused a perfume commercial for goodness sake. Get us into the process!

[@beautyelisa688]

Honestly what always frustrated me when watching winx from season to season, was the fact that villains came from nowhere and were suddenly more powerful than anything the winx have ever faced. When you start out in season 1 (the best season imo) the power of the dragon flame that the trix seek, is supposed to be the most powerful and destructive thing in the universe, especially in the wrong hands. Fast forward to season 2 and this lord darkar, the shadow pheonix is a serious threat and in order to defeat him, the winx need convergence so they go get charmix. Next season it's valtor and enchantix. Up to season 4 it all felt pretty natural. The enemies were actually stronger and the winx had to get stronger too - pretty good power progression. After this, however, the villains were all smallfries with their trix lackeys (honestly those three were doing well enough on their own) and the winx suddenly forgot how to fairy and oh no couldn't defeat the evil smallfries, so now they have to get a new transformation because reasons. Sirenix should have been the end of it, since sirenix was this ancient power, more powerful than anything, that many have seeked but failed. There is only one fairy who obtained this power and it was Daphne - or in other words: you get this, you become a nuke. The world of winx does the power progression in the worst possible ways. By the rules of power progression, the winx should now be the most powerful god tier entities in the universe, but no, suddenly they're incompetent and can't defeat villains who got powers like a day before. They're too much for the winx to handle - yes all six of them, yes six against one - so they require the help of this other person who also got their powers a day before. It's stupid how terrible the power progression is, oh wait there is none, there is only power decline! I'm sorry this rant was a few years in the making, my childhood was pretty much destroyed by nickelodeon.

[@alecrego4914]

What are you talking about? Daphne wasn't the only fairy to get Sirenix before the Winx. Just because something is ancient, it doesn't mean it is a nuke. And of course the Winx encountered more powerful enemies, the universe has to stay in balance. So when the Winx overcome a great evil, a new one must be born.

[@beautyelisa688]

@@alecrego4914 have you seen at least one episode of world of winx? Sirenix was really hyped and supposedly unbelievably powerful. Daphne had it when she faught the ancient witches, and that's a pretty big deal. The way my 13 year-old self remembers, it was specifically stated that Daphne was at the time the only fairy in the world to have Sirenix, so I'm sorry if I made a mistake and that's not the case, but my point still stands.

[@alecrego4914]

@@beautyelisa688 @BeautyElisa It was stated that Daphne was the last fairy to acquire Sirenix, not the only. And also, it said that she was friends with Politea, another wielder of Sirenix.

I mean I know the 4Kids one I watched was cheesy, but it was still entertaining. Enchantix was said to be their Final Fairy Form. Now we all have like over 7 extra more stages. And the PETS, oh goodness they just give you a cute animal to fawn over and then chuck it in the next season for a NEW PET. Well what worth is it anymore to even care about the pets if you’re just going to rip it out from us? Then there’s the romance drama, ok ... that one time Helia said his gf was a “friend” and doesn’t even have a personality anymore. He used to have a calm demeanor and was just as knowledgeable about plants. Nick made him into this bumbling fool now. The Specialists are just background characters at this point. I’m also disappointed how the cast is basically copies of Bloom. From S1 they all had their own styles specifically Techna(Nonconforming bc of her Winx outfit) and Musa(Tomboy). Overtime they just lost their styles and identity. Flora even looks whitewashed sometimes. Can Winx just end? I don’t wanna see more of the butchering of this franchise.

Now looking back at the first (best) seasons of winx, the show had this anime vibe, that it just couldn't completely show off.

Despite it all, Rainbow still tried it's best to make it good and not just some cheap show with bad writing. And then Nickelodeon showed up.

Daphne also created a huge time incoherence : in the firsts seasons, we see a flashback with adult daphne who teleport baby bloom on earth. we can imagine that Daphne was cursed a little later, and when bloom break the curse, Daphne seems to have kept the same age. okay, we can imagine that during the curse, time as kind of stop for daphne who stopped aging. okay. but then, explain me the fact that in one of daphne's flashbacks, we can see a child Daphne looking at baby bloom in a cradle ? and then, later, Daphne is an adult, and hold baby bloom in her arms ?

What makes this baffling to me is why. Pretty Cure was booming and Sailor Moon was coming back stronger than ever with the 20th anniversary bringing the reprints of the manga and Sailor Moon Crystal.

[@infinitedreamer9359]

NOTE:I know this comment is a year old,I'm still replying. I feel myself that the series would be better off with a hard reboot,rather than this half-assed soft reboot stuff they keep doing. Partly because rebooting the series from the start could give them the opportunity to try to market it again to the west without having the baggage of needing to catch people up to the series like they had to do with the Nickelodeon deal and partly because I feel the series itself has been inconsistent and retconning lore,worldbuilding,and even characters to the point it's a mess even the early seasons. What was the point again of the stupid Bloom/Sky/Diaspro love triangle,especially since it did NOTHING for character growth and it's never brought up again? (But it definitely got worse in later seasons starting with S5.) So starting over could give the writers an opportunity to streamline the series contradictory lore/worldbuilding and character depictions. However ,this can only work if there was one person in charge who could keep track of the lore/worldbuilding and make sure that the shows world is internally consistent. It doesn't hurt that the series could take advantage of the better tech and make some good 2D and CGI animation for the earlier seasons. So yeah hard reboot the series and this time,give to one of the many streaming services that are around now. Back when Nickelodeon had airing rights,streaming services were only getting off the ground,but in 2020,this isn't the case anymore and there are several streaming platforms that you could shop the series around to. Technically,Netflix does have Winx Club and WoW,but the former doesn't even have ALL the seasons,only the first two and none of the movies either.I don't know if this was because of licensing issues,but it's dumb that you don't even have all the content there,so Rainbow should make sure that wouldn't happen again.

[@queenrose2009]

@@robinsordahl8947 That's not fair because Musa to me was one of the best well-written characters. The fact that she lost her mother at a young age was so sad and when she was given the option to be with her mother over the water stars was one of her best moments because even though she loved her mother and wanted to be with her more than anything she had to make a difficult decision for the sake of the whole magical dimension. This shows how she's willing to sacrifice her happiness for the sake of others. (Looking at you Elise from Sonic 06)

@@robinsordahl8947 But I thought Iginio wanted to the show to continue the story of the Winx in their early 20s and handling more story elements as well as adult themes to cater to the fan that grew up with the series.

Can we also talk how they messed up the trix like after season 3 and 4 and the first movie, there was actually a lot of room for trix to grow as villains not just side kicks for *again* a male antagonist, but to actually find what tf they gonna do now when Domino is saved and everything seems pretty good.

Korra, Winx, and Miraculous Ladybug. What is with Nick and killing cool girl shows?! Nick’s 2012 version of TMNT turned out great and the newest one is looking good( thought is has a much more comical tone than 2012’s). When I was a teen, I loved loved my favorite characters actually growing up. I like them growing with me. The 4kids dub was the first version of the Winx I knew. Even though it changed the script, most of the characters charm shined through. When I heard that Nick was bring it back to the states and the story was continuing, I got excited. Since I had already seen seasons 1-3, the recap specials wired just as intended(for me). I liked the new voices and updated dialogue. Season 4 was good to ok for me but I didn’t like seasons 5 and 6. I don’t mind the cgi( I seem to be very forgiving to tv cgi). When the characters growth and aging went backwards, I noticed. I started to realize that the new season last were not for returning fans, but for a much younger, newer audience. I’m still a bit bitter about that. I didn’t even watch World of Winx and season 8 only got my attention back with my personal favorite villain returning. Was WOW season 7? I still keep an eye on Winx and hope it can recover from the Nick deal.

I acutally think season 6 was better than season 5 because it had less plot holes, a real plot without childish morals (save animals and nature) and better fairy transformations. Same thing with Mythix over Sirenix, it's simple and 3D exclusive but at least each winx is recognizable and looks like a real fairy form.

@Burning Blaze I mean it's a concept that resembles the typical fairy forms you see in fairytales with wands, all based into one element, Mythix does a great job with that besides the individuality

OMG I loved the first season soooo much. They were so much sassier and had intelligence and personality between their dialogues. They were also relatable by having character flaws and naturally wanting things that I also wanted instead of being watered down to be a generic morality preacher.

[@AmyoftheFlowerField]

Literally, Season 4 should have been a turning point if they wanted to reboot the series. Have Roxy be the main character, create a whole new group with a new story, and have the Winx Club be supporting characters; professors, royalty, ect. Hell, I'd even be okay with devoting a FIFTH season to the girls finding their place in the world(Bloom becomes Queen with Sky, Aisha deals with her grief involving Nabu, Flora becomes a potions professor or something at Alfea, Techna becomes a leading force in tech improvements on earth, so on and so on), then the last episode ends with Bloom and Sky's wedding, along with "This chapter on our lives closed, but that doesn't mean the story is over. No... It's just time for another tale to begin." We get like a two year timeskip then open season 6/Season 1 reboot where Roxy is enrolled in Alfea and she and her roomates go on new adventures with new villians.

[@boku9479]

Honestly, ending it at season 4 would have been such an awesome idea. Season 1-3 could has been about winx getting their final transformation form and defeating one of the most powerful creatures of the realm. Then season 4 could be like an extra season that shows the winx graduating and living their life on earth while facing one more problem with the fairy hunters. This also means that nabu shouldn’t have been dead so everyone could get their happy ending. However, if they wanted to make more seasons, they should have made season 5-8 all about Roxy getting into alfea and starting her own group. This would make the story so much better.

[@Cwoisson]

Hands down 4kids will always be my favorite to watch because I especially loved how the Trix ACTUALLY sounded evil. The voice acting in 4kids was definitely the best and each voice suited everyone in the show as well. Icy's voice in the 4kids dub also sounded the closest to the original subbed Winx which I thought was neat! As for the Rai dub, the Trix voices were a let down unfortunately. The witches sound too bubbly in the Rai dub even though the VAs try making them sound evil (the VAs just have cute voices that don't match the evil personality and nature of their characters). I still like the Rai dub because it sticks to the original script that we don't see on 4kids though. And I'm not even going to watch the Nickelodeon version.

[@ilbarbagigio]

I remember vividly the first time Winx aired, I even remember watching the first episode before going to school, and then finding out that every girl in my class has watched it. It was a fever in Italy, everyone was talking about it. And believe me when I say that for Italy was very forward thinking that the group of girls had different ethnicities (since Flora was inspired by Jennifer Lopez and Musa by Lucy Liu and Aisha by Beyonce) - 2004-2005 Italy was not very connected to the internet and not very open-minded. It's a shame it got bad, the 11 year old in me is very sad :c Anyway, very cool video!

The self-aware line about Sirenix from Stella both makes me think Rainbow is sick of the constant McGuffin egg hunt too or they know their older fans are tired of it and they don't care.
