Main Reasons to hate this season: 1. It's too childish. 2. Roxy got done dirty again. 3. The transformations are awful. 4. The power of Butterflix is useless. 5. The villains are pathetic and not threatening the slightest. 6. (And most importantly) THERE IS NO PLOT!

So Flora is the fairy of NATURE, yet she's limited JUST plants? She had so much potential, like animals and earth, yet they stick her with just flowers, gave Roxy (who rarely appears in the show) animals, completely ignored earth, AND gave the whole Winx a nature transform?! That's so dumb!

[@Scion141]

"Nature", in this case, is synonymous with "Plants, flowers, and greenery". Otherwise, why just stop at animals? Why not water too? Fire? Everything else associated with nature. In a lot of fantasy stories, "Nature powers" refers to "Plants, flowers, and greenery". I remember someone else trying to make the argument that Aisha should be able to control air because she can control water, and there are water molecules in the air. Stories make a point of separating powers. Otherwise, one person could have numerous powers, like with the nature power example I gave.

[@Scion141]

@Will N When has Stella controlled wind and gravity? Other than them performing magic during class lessons, they stick to their stated powers during battles. Flora doesn't control the seasons (what does this even mean?). Her powers have always been consistent in what they can do; 99% of the time, she controls plants/flowers, and can communicate with them.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

There is an episode in S5 when Paladium took them to Alphea’s greenhouse to learn about different animals and environments and he said they couldn’t transform and their magic would be reduced so they’d be forced to not rely on magic this time. Also M2 when the Ancestresses took over the tree of magic (?) the fairies lost their powers including Bloom so on the ship to Avrum the Winx had to take specialist courses because they didn’t have their wings anymore. Or in S4 when Diana attacked Gardenia they couldn’t even get free from her vine imprisonment including Flora, and couldn’t even fry an enlarged house spider because it was infused with Diana’s jungle spell, so they had to teleport it to different area so it’d be normal again. So there’s been quite a few times they had to think outside the box or survive without magic. I mean geez Leila in S2 somehow managed to get from ShadowHaunt all the way to Alphea and when Lord Darkar attempted to kill her by throwing her over the ledge she didn’t even have any magic to fight or even transform to prevent from falling to her death

[@tobennaokoli4450]

Honestly the most shocking thing for me is that I can’t even tell Bloom is the main character anymore. Like if I’d never watched Winx and you sat me down in front of season 7 and told me to find the main girl out of the 6, I couldn’t tell you. Bloom is just one of the girls now. Her power isn’t even special anymore. She’s just as weak as the other Winx and her Butterflix special power is the lamest out of all of them imo. It doesn’t even relate to her fire powers. They absolutely RUINED Bloom in season 7 and it actually makes me miss season 6’s Mary Sue Bloom because at least she was plot relevant. Edit: Also when I mean I can’t tell, it’s like nothing tells me that she is special from the other girls. You can be the leader of a group without being the main character. The plot doesn’t revolve around her and she doesn’t seem to have any personal stakes. Granted that would be fine if it meant the others got to shine but… uhhh… they don’t.

[@TheYoungGeninSasuke]

I hate mary sue Bloom.

[@emicastudios8500]

thank you for saying that Bloom is the main character and not all of the girls as some people say. it's clear from season 1-3 that Bloom is the main character and was always intended to be, just because she's part of a group and the other winx have their moments to shine as well doesn't make them ALL main characters,

[@infinitedreamer9359]

@@emicastudios8500 The problem is if you want to make a single character the MC out of a group(and the character gets the most screentime),you need to make sure that they're actually interesting and worth having most of the screentime on them and Bloom was never the most interesting character,even back in S1-4. Sure, her learning about her backstory as a lost princess was neat but her actual personality...not really? She had nothing that made her distinct from the rest of the Winx. There is a reason why people watch the show,they'll very rarely say Bloom is one of their favorite characters,because the rest of the Winx have more distinct and fleshed out characters and backstories that tied into each other and made you want to empathize or root for them. Bloom's generic character even transfers over in her romance with Sky as they're the couple with the least interesting interactions,development,and conflict in their relationship. IMO,they really should've have developed Blooms established hobby of drawing to give her something to make her unique

[@emicastudios8500]

@@infinitedreamer9359 Good points and all but Bloom is still the main character regardless of if she's badly designed or not.

[@muaazakram740]

If that were true, I would LOVE it. I would love for Bloom to be just one of the girls (which, ironically, would help give her an interesting and distinct personality). But that is not the case in Season 7. She may not be as central to the plot as before, but she is still as Mary Sue-ish as it gets and still the main character. She still calls out all the transformations and almost always stands in the middle while doing so. She has the longest transformation sequence in both of the season's transformations. She leads the Winx whenever they are walking. She gets the most screentime and dialogues (there are episodes where Tecna doesn't speak at all apart from her transformation roll call). She is always the one to introduce themselves to and deal with a new character (unless, it is someone who is designed to have some sort of bond with one of the others, like Orlando). She gets the special, special fairy animal (what with Elas's cure-all magical horn that keeps evolving). She is the one who gets the most screentime with her boyfriend (this is actually a blessing in disguise since this ensures my favorite couple, Tecna and Timmy, are saved from endless, repetitive, pointless, boring, stupid drama). She is the one who calls all shots and tells the other girls what to do in a predicament (I remember a particularly egregious moment with the mutated fungi when their powers don't work and Aisha asks something like, "What do we do now, Bloom?"). So, yeah, she is still very much the main character in Season 7, and NOT in a good way. In fact, Seasons 1-3 revolve completely around her story and she is very much the main character, and yet THAT is when it gets closest to her just behaving like one of the girls. From her positioning whenever the girls are standing or walking, to other girls getting their own arcs, to screen presence, to other girls excelling in one thing or the other rather than just Bloom being the best at everything, to other girls, especially Tecna getting to lead the girls in battle, and many many other things, Bloom behaves much more like an ordinary team member in those seasons than in any of the newer seasons.

[@westanzhonglihere2391]

Honestly if the writers are gonna be lazy then they should've had Roxy earn her Enchantix off-screen so that she could earn butterflix. And if they wanna be even more lazy, have her incapable of transforming for some reason.

But there's also the argument that she's a Believix fairy, but if she is then the question of how that's possible comes up.

That was what bugged me so much, and also about every side character that transformed ever. They never got new transformations over the span of 4+ years. You don't need to give them a whole episode, just throw them in with Charmix or Enchantix and have them narratively explain how they earned it

To me, season 7 made no sense to me, it was a season that no one even asked for and it was too babyfied and annoying.

I remember sitting there just thinking "girl, you got wings! Just use your wings and fly! Don't depend on your unicorn and use your damn wings!"

Honestly, I couldn't even finish the first episode of S7 because of how kiddy the show had become. Now don't get me wrong, I'm out here watching things for 5-12 year olds sometimes. Take Precure (Japanese magical girl franchise for kids maybe 4-12) for example. It's formulaic in most of its episodes, but there's still story the 18 shows they have and counting to this day (seriously, they release a new show every year and finish it within the next year for another one) and they're all unique with different themes. Summer and tropical vibes, fairy tales, witches and wizards, nature, princesses, I could go on. It's pretty positive and happy go-lucky, but at least it doesn't make me feel like the show has been dumbed down to take kids step by step through the story like season 7 felt like. Idk what happened cuz it was obvious that things were kiddified from season 5, but at least it was bearable for someone my age. Even season 6 wasn't that bad (in terms of age demographic).

[@theshigoto]

My favorite thing, of course, is that Kalshara had started her evildoings when Faragonda was 20 years old at most, and Season 6 claims her to be the headmistress of Alfea for one hundred years already, which means that Kalshara and Brafilius have officially been doing nothing, save for capturing a small bunch of the fairy animals, for more than 100 years. Considering Faragonda most certainly didn't become a headmistress right after graduating and later fought her battles as a part of The Company of Light, that'd make up an even bigger period of time. Had she started running the school, let's say, in her fifties, that'd be 130 years or so of the mutant siblings failing miserably at gathering their army. I like how this fact is never openly addressed, but it's lowkey there, always. And that's how our big villains for this season are.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

But a problem is why didn’t Headmistress Mavila let the magic council know she had a student that absorbed wild magic and attempted to literally kill the digmoles with her new powers. Like why didn’t she even contact her parents either?! All it is was “Oh my champion student tried killing me, absorbed a very dangerous power and might be looking for the fairy animal diamond, but I’m not going to contact her parents or even the magix council to let them know the situation” Plus when Faragonda and Kalshara clash again, all Faragonda says is “I can’t believe it, after all these years” instead of trying to fight her and be like “You fooled me once, but I will NOT let you put anyone else in danger because of your power hungry desires. I’m not the same naive fairy I once was!”

[@theshigoto]

@@kristinahuchison2511 Yeah, you're totally right, they didn't think it through at all. I may only suppose their parents were already dead by the time Kalshara obtained wild magic, but the fact that Mavilla let them run away without notifying the magic council of what had happened is scandalous. Yes, these two turned out to be pathetic villains and didn't actually cause that much harm due to their incompetence, but Mavilla couldn't have predicted that since Kalshara easily defeated her after obtaining wild magic. This is a mess.

[@Idkacutename123]

[@KhaosAdmiral]

I always thought at least one way to make Kalshara at least more interesting is that she is after fairy animals because she wants to absorb their abilities and add their power to her own, and she can shapeshift parts of her body animal like for example, she could morph her arm into a dragon head which could allow her to shoot fireballs for instance, and the more power she takes, the more she increasingly becomes more like a monstrous Chimera of various fairy animals. With her end-goal of acquiring the Ultimate Power of Fairy Animals being to absorb it and become the ultimate apex predator which would allow her to force all the other Fairy Animals under her control.

[@aradcohen4309]

I love this idea

[@kristinahuchison2511]

Actually that is a pretty good idea! I would also add considering she feels the digmoles’ clue about the animal with the first color of the universe she thinks is useless, considering its not actually an animal, just a diamond statue of a digmole, which WHY couldn’t it be a swan instead giving a hint who the ultimate guardian animal is, though I still vote the Great Dragon considering she’s the first animal of the universe considering she freaking made it. I would’ve said considering she wants to control all the fairy animals anyway, she sends Braffilus to capture and trap any animal he finds, he still gets his stupid analyzing spell through the Black Diamond, BUT each failure becomes corrupted through Kalshara turning them into wild magic monsters that endanger other fairy animals to hinder the Winx from interfering with their plans or finding the right animal first. THEN it’d make more sense why Buttflix can’t harm nature as to not harm the creatures, and why it specializes in healing magic instead. Also the wild magic actually transforms the animals into monsters, not looks normal just with creepy glowing eyes. And maybe some of the animals are taken to the park because it drained them that they need Roxy to help rehabilitate them until they’re well enough to be rereleased into the wild again. It’s similar to Tokyo Mew Mew where the villains (who actually weren’t villains, just antagonists who were conned into serving the actual villain to save their dying world) turned endangered animals into monsters to find Mew, a special healing element. Like even the Mews themselves are actually named after different endangered animals.

The whole thing with butterflix not being able to harm nature would've made more sense if, like you suggested, it was solely for time travel, because then it would be a measure to keep the timeline intact, how did the writers not think of that?

[@eatatjoes6751]

The worst thing about the Winx eternally being college students isn't just that they're boring Borg-like creatures now, it's the fact that by lazily binding them to college you've successfully drained any and all fun out of seeing the setting again and rewatching the show due to this fact. It's become a major pet peeve of mine in animated properties that have run for way too long - Toy Story subconsciously binds everyone to Andy's bedroom by the end of the fourth one, Spongebob is still in Bikini Bottom over two decades later, The Fairly Oddparents mined all the joy it could out of Dimmsdale before the spinoff just translated that into dull apathy, the new Rugrats revival makes me visibly cringe seeing the Pickles residence, and the less the successive revivals to the original Powerpuff Girls do to Townsville the happier I'll be to see it again. Same with the whole Phineas and Ferb universe. When you continually bind characters to a certain age and keep things the same forever, it gets old and stale. Hell, I haven't even seen Star Wars and I'm sick of it recycling planets.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

I don’t count Toy Story 4 was canon. Bo Peep for one isn’t even mentioned at all in 3 except that she was given away. I also don’t really go for the only scene Andy was in was the night she left, we don’t get to see Andy grown up or on summer break and we get a hint to show its him, like say his mom found more toys to give to Sunnyside or something.

Then instead of Tynix, the animals would transform into the bigger versions OR they could merge with the Winx's Bloomix for a new outfit. BUT BLOOMIX SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE BASE.

[@Lanadelreytypeofgirl]

Fr Bloomix was like supposed to be the strongest cause of the dragon flame! It should be their base and butterflix should be their second transformation or give them tynix since it had more potential then butterflix like what even was that the whole power didn't make sense when Roxy didn't get it it literally sounds close to butterfly!

Hell, the poacher plot could have been interesting if they were like poachers in the real world where they hunted and trafficked Fairy Animals illegally selling them to corrupt nobles, businesses and criminals where they would either be killed to be eaten, or have their powers drained by people like Valtor and the Trix to gain their power, be kept as exotic pets, forced to perform in zoos and circuses, or even skinned to use their furs for fashion. This would maybe even tie in a plot with Stella, a fashion designer who would be torn against her career and her own morals as a literal guardian fairy. Perhaps Stella has been using furs in her designs which could put her in conflict with Roxy who is a fairy of animals. Maybe Stella and Roxy’s disagreement would even be enough for Stella to temporarily leave the group and allow for character development while Roxy could have a central role? This is at least better than “ultimate power” maybe we even see the Winx try to set up animal sanctuaries, and work to rehabilitate them, this could give Flora, Roxy, and maybe Aisha the opportunity to connect.

[@Galistarwater]

The new villains were so bad and cringy to watch that I actually welcomed the return of the Trix near the end. And I am still so pissed that they did Roxy so dirty in this season. Seriously, she practically did the same thing as Winx and was even bathed in the light of Butterflix, but she didn't get her own transformation?! My mind went into a rage when I first saw "Barfilius" stole her Time stone. And there's a simple way to make Butterflix transformation more likable. Remember when Musa does her dance moves as she transformed into her Believix? You wanna make the Winx dance, fine, but let's have them transform while they're moving their bodies gracefully!

I agree! S7 actually had the potential to respark interest from older audiences if Roxy was actually a main character this time, considering how disappointing Bloomix was. Honestly even Kalshara had a ton of potential as a new villain considering she has a connection with Faragonda and I actually would’ve KILLED to see dark Enchantix or something, showing not all fairies are good. The park itself could’ve been about rehabilitating endangered species and raising awareness and even sending all the animals corrupted by wild magic from Kalshara to heal until they’re able to be rereleased back into the wild. Roxy should’ve at least gotten her freaking Enchantix this season, come on! I’m literally sick of the Winx being the only fairies allowed to get new wings. What about, Mirta, Galatea, Roxy, Alice or Clareese?! So many side characters we meet, even if we don’t see them earning Charmix or Enchantix just getting to see a brand new form indicating Alphea fairies are actually evolving into new forms instead of permanently trapped in Winx. Even in S5-8, whenever there’s a threat, instead of transforming to defend their school, all the students run around like headless chickens like they all of a sudden can’t use magic anymore?! WHAT?! Also having Liza Ortiz who is 4Kids Icy and Suzy Meyers as 4Kids Stormy actually would’ve totally made bringing back the Trix so worth it, despite trapping them in the Legendarium was the PERFECT way to FINALLY get rid of them without killing them

OH OH OH, the flowers could pull a miraculous ladybug and attract creatures called the butterFIX, little butterflies that use their magic to fix timelines XD)

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

I can tell you why Winx Season 7 suck because the writers didn't treat Roxy with any respect or give her the same treatment like the Winx since she is playing a majour role of saving the magical animals. Plus Roxy didn't get her own Butterflix power despite helping the Winx and now her memory stone got stolen by Brafilius as she won't be able to time travel with the Winx. I really wished the writer try to give Roxy the treatment she deserved as well as give her a Butterflix form of her own. If I was the writer for Winx Club Season 7 then I would write a better story back in episode 3 to make sure that Roxy earn her Butterflix along with the Winx, as well as having her bond with her own fairy animal and earn her Typnix too.

[@Scion141]

S7 sucked for a lot of reasons, and Roxy is at the bottom of the list. Even if she had been brought to the forefront, it wouldn't have changed the fact that S7 is the worst season to come out of Winx Club.

[@mrmccargo8861]

For me, the most dissapointing thing about winx (the more recent seasons) is that the original personalities of the winx are just lost. Like back in season 1-2 and maybe even 3, they had so much more variety and had actual personalities. Heck, even Flora had an attitude back then. I mean this in a good way because that just made the girls in winx so much more relatable and funny. The only girl who somewhat kept consistent in terms of behavior is Stella, but even then she is still a far cry from what she once was.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

S7, oh man. I’m glad you agree 6 isn’t the worst. While yes it was a complete mess in a ton of areas, I still feel it had a whimsical charm that was missing from 4 and 5, especially with the pixies coming back, and despite being practically a cheerleader Eldora was kinda funny too. S7 is one word completely-boring. Buttflix is a snoozer especially with that annoying dance, like hello fairy animals are in danger and why the h*ll aren’t the villains attacking you during your stupid dance routine?! I found some of the fairy animal designs kinda mashed as well, like a lion/ram or a fish/elephant so it looked kinda dumb at times. Like hello where’s all the REAL fire breathing and FLYING dragons instead of those Komodo dragon inspired “dragons” on Pyros when we saw flying ones in S3?!?! I seriously hated when they saw young Faragonda, all the writers did was make her skintone darker, colored her hair a poop brown color and stick a braid on it, the 3 horns/bumps in her original form are still there!! What happens to the flashback episode where it showed her with pink hair and buns on the side?! The worst part is both times she doesn’t even transform so we didn’t even get to see her Magic Winx form!! Seriously? It could’ve been the first time she hadn’t gotten her wings yet because she recently transferred from Cloud Tower and was struggling to fit in, but the next time she has really grown as a fairy. Buttflix, a bunch of rocks gives it for saving a bunch of moles and Roxy the FAIRY OF ANIMALS doesn’t even get it?! What?! They don’t even bother to explain the form, say it doesn’t exist anymore because fairy animals don’t live at Alphea or are even part of any class course. I also just can’t get over how they went from fierce warrior fairies to fairy princess ballerinas who’s magic “can’t harm nature” really? 🙄 so if they faced the Windigo Willow from S1 they’re f*cked because their magic can’t hurt it especially when it tried eating them? Tynix, S7 saving grace. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t ever rewatch S7. While it is a bit too flashy even for the Winx, its still so pretty to look at, aside Tecna’s looks like the writers ran out of diamonds, Musa is so freaking gorgeous and Critty is my favorite because her Tynix form reminds me of Kirara from Inuyasha. I’m actually making Tynix is an evolution of their fairy dust instead, considering it does the same thing just even tinier. I actually enjoyed the worlds, especially the part Musa freaking saved fairy magic with her music, yeah she’s one of the strongest fairies fight me. The fairy diamond world was actually kinda annoying considering all they did was make the critters chibi digmoles and they “eat” diamonds? Not to mention the fairy animal diamond itself tried crushing Flora! Kalshara and Braffilius, aka overconfident arrogant lazy fairy and a bumbling buffoon of a wizard who’d easily get their asses kicked by S1-3 Winx in a second. He literally nearly every d*mn time forgets the ONLY spell he can use, yet somehow outfoxes the Winx everytime 🤦🏻‍♀️ Plus upon the diamond hiding itself in him, can’t even use its powers?! I actually really hated seeing the Trix return when the Legendarium ending was the PERFECT way to FINALLY get rid of them without killing them. Like I thought it turned them into fictional characters and “you stay too long you can’t ever leave” Ugh! I will give credit Occula and Kimi were actually awesome, but oh man was I ever mad Icy’s wasn’t a polar bear, instead a stupid gecko painted blue. I actually really killed for their wild witch forms too, despite I seriously wished the Winx got to use Tynix this one time outside the mini worlds, or better yet use Enchantix with designs from their animals. The ultimate guardian being a goose? Oh come on! Why don’t, I don’t know, the Great Dragon that created the f*cking universe?! When I saw the silhouette the first time I really thought it’d be the Great Dragon, considering she’s the first animal of the universe, but no. I don’t even get why Braffilius was punished to remain a dog instead of just sending him to Light Rock considering he made it clear he wants to change, while Kalshara apparently got defeated by a bunch of lvl 1 basic monsters and can’t even fly or anything, just conveniently falls into an abyss? The biggest crime is Roxy not only not getting Buttflix, but her stone of memories was conveniently stolen to keep from joining the Winx for the season!! Why the h*ll didn’t Faragonda just make a new one, its not like she couldn’t! I did like how epic the supposed ending for the Trix being sealed outside of time in Limbo so this time they’d FINALLY be trapped with absolutely no way back, just for Baltor to somehow know where they were (I thought only a royal or something could summon from Limbo?) but the actual struggle of the Trix trying to fight the portal, especially Icy giving Bloom a death stare was pretty epic. But the biggest crime of it all, the VAs. Erica Schroder (Daphne) Rebecca Soler (S3 Tecna) and our queen Liza Ortiz, the REAL ICY AND MUSA, none of them got to reprise their old roles, and no Liza getting stuck as Critty and Cherie who are connected to Musa doesn’t count. WHY THE HECK WASNT SHE ICY?! Come on!! She actually made Icy sound like a power crazed psycho b*tch and perfect mean girl, not to mention I actually liked 4Kids changed the Trix to being senior witches which explained why they were so powerful against the Winx for a majority of S1. This actually would’ve made the Trix’s stupid return worth it, also Stormy’s 4Kids VA came back and she actually made her sound cranky and someone who’d barbecue you if you p*ssed her off. But no, she got doing Roxy instead. S7 had the potential to be waay better than how disappointing S6, especially Bloomix was, but it was literally a complete sh*tshow. Also sidenote I completely disagree with your opinions about Musa and Bloom. 4Kids Bloom wasn’t a brat at all, she was more slightly hotheaded than anything, but wasn’t bossy or pushy like S7 and especially 8. If you’re referring to Rai S1-2 Musa I strongly disagree, if anything she sounded stuck up half the time and bratty whenever I assume she was joking, NGL Rai Musa is actually my second least favorite character, first obviously being Riven. 4Kids Musa is where its at!

[@Xanegoh]

I would say Icy's fairy(witch?) animal should've been a snow leopard. The only reason it's a lizard is because hur dur, reptiles are cold blooded, and Icy is cold hearted with the power of ice. It's something a five year old would think of first thing. Darcy's and Stormy's animals at least match up thematically with their powers. A chameleon can camouflage itself and an owl can whip up gales with its wings. Also, totally agree with you that Lisa Ortiz should have voiced Icy. I didn't mind Musa's VA, but Icy just sounds like an absolute power hungry evil super bitch when voiced by Lisa. She just had that energy.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

@@Xanegoh yeah a snow leopard could work too. I still vote polar bear considering they’re also really strong, I believe waay more than a grizzly. Darcy’s being a chameleon and Stormy’s as an owl make sense. I guess didn’t like how Icy’s is a reptile like Darcy’s.

[@Xanegoh]

@@kristinahuchison2511 definitely agree on the whole reptile thing and Darcy already having one. Plus, with Stormy having a bird, that would round out the animal kingdom more. Also sorry for replying so late. KZbin can be weird with its notifications.

[@johnadams7145]

At least the Butterflix and Tynix songs are better than the Mythix and Bloomix songs Butterflix is so positive and happy and while it is really cheesy, I like these types of songs. Tynix has great vocals and I also like the message. Bloomix is borderline boring and the prototype is much better. Mythix is better, but kind of forgettable; again the prototype is better.

[@justahugenerd1278]

Excuse you the Bloomix song slaps You're right about the Tynix song tho

[@kristinahuchison2511]

Actually Bloomix wasn’t that terrible, I found it pretty catchy despite its literally just singing Bloom’s praises about how amazing she is and blah, blah, blah. Butterflix is just no, but Tynix definitely shone like a diamond

[@meganpayette5996]

Bit of a missed opportunity not to giving Bloom a dragon. You know, because she has the DRAGON Flame.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

I actually don’t mind her getting a unicorn considering its mentioned in S4 it was her favorite animal as a girl. I’m still surprised Elas’ Tynix form wasn’t a unicorn/pegasus hybrid. I was really hoping the Great Dragon was the fairy animal diamond guardian considering she’s literally the first animal of the Magical Universe, but no, lets make a glorified Donald Duck be the guardian instead

[@msk-qp6fn]

Are the Winx stuck in Alfea as students or teachers? I think they made them teachers in the season where we got Roxie and fairies of Earth. Did they keep that? Or was it scratched?

[@kristinahuchison2511]

They’re students. S4 they were supposed to teach Winxology, which it doesn’t actually explain what it is, like if its a course for fairies who haven’t gotten their wings yet? When they go to Earth, they or more specifically Bloom became more of a mentor for Roxy. I think in the comics when they returned there was a story where they actually graduate students taking special classes or something, which I’m not gonna lie I thought for sure that’s what they were in S5 considering they broke a ton of rules, especially leaving school grounds like every single day to save the universe. But they’re just students, while the Trix got to be professors in 6

[@yayeeyeeya7646]

I agreed with almost everything you said, and I'll never forgive Rainbow for making the Winx so useless in the fights to the point the one that hit the final blow to defeat the Trix was the fairy animals

[@vividdaydream1516]

I'm so mad that they put TIME TRAVEL and a transformation called BUTTERFLIX in the same season, then failed to make said transformation about _enabling time-travel without setting off the butterfly effect._

[@kristinahuchison2511]

What’s the butterfly effect?? I’m so confused

[@evakukwa222]

Bro I'm endlessly thankful you had the patience to watch both S6 and S7 cuz... I couldn't even finish S6 because of how dull it is, and I think I was 12 or sth back then lol Rainbow does definitely need help 👀 Love ur videos btw ✨ The outro song gives so much nostalgia :,-)💕

[@ahstiasummers5583]

Or with butterflies, there's many different types of butterflies beyond monarchs or viceroys (aka monarch lookalikes). Inspire the looks based on different types of butterflies/moths. Or imagine a dragonfly-based appearance or bird-like appearances. This could've been a case where the "Butterfly" part of the name is purely for the name

[@joshg7120]

Finally!, Season 6 is pretty bad but SEASON 7! , all I'm going to say is there's no way Butterflix is more powerful than Bloomix

[@STXcluSive]

I'm currently trying to push myself to watch Season 7...and sadly, I just can't get into it as I tried with Season 5 & 6. Season 5 was still compelling (except for the soft reboot) and Season 6 was somewhat decent even when I snorted at its flaws and all. But Season 7 is just utterly boring that I stopped at episode 8 and just have no motivation to even continue it. Also JUSTICE FOR ROXY! MY GIRL GOT DONE SO DIRTY WHEN THEY GOT BUTTERFLIX! EDIT: It's been 5 months now and I JUST finished Season 7. It's really that boring and uncompelling to watch in one sitting :)

[@Lanadelreytypeofgirl]

[@chaos4654]

Honestly, there is legitimately a ton that could've been done with the Time Travel plot. See or cause the beginnings of notable villains or characters. Accidently create an alternate timeline for an episode or arc. Introduce a fun timeloop paradox scenario.

[@nocrustashe]

It's a small detail, but I REALLY wish that you had put the, "I would use my Butterflix power to ask for help from other animals... but I cAn'T sEe AnY!" when you were talking about Butterflix.

This is honestly a problem they should've had because animals technically aren't everywhere or at least are willing or even have the energy to help

I am soooo ready to hear you rank the winx girls and their personalities, especially knowing how much you appreciate Musa and Aisha (Layla). I need to hear the rests too.

[@zaharabliss106]

I'm glad to see that people agree with my opinion that season 7 was literal garbage. Idk I always felt like the series should have circled back to the ancestral witches, I know they were destroyed in the movies but I mean sky also proposed to bloom twice and the canon from those movies are kind of loose. I loved the domino lore and feel like we should have had a season dealing with the witches, the dragon flame and ,since they brought him back anyways, valtor too. Since in season 6 they all got bits of the dragon flame I feel like it'd be epic if they had a dramatic season that kinda harkened back to the original lore: company of light, ring of solaria, domino and erakylon and heck we can even bring back nabu cuz he technically never died. I feel like winx forgot about some of the cooler lore stuff and just passively acknowledges it exist when it could have had an amazing end that would acknowledge things from previous seasons. I loved season 4 but I won't say I wasn't disappointed after the perfect antagonist ,valtor for the most part, we got stories less and less connected to the original stuff. I kinda wish they and found a way to tie season 4 with other universe stuff so season 5 and 6 could be cool endgame. Season 1-3 of winx were dark ;I'm not saying I wish the rest were depressing...It's just winx could have struck the balance between edgier themes and light hearted fun like in season 1-3 and It's kinda disappointing that it joined the cartoons that worsened in later seasons.

[@Kairos_Akuma]

Or they could have gotten someone interessting from that Prison Planet.. Or make Diaspro a proper BBEG ffs.

[@TomasMele]

Thomas, a Season 7 rewrite coming from you would be SO cool. Just look at all those interesting ideas you mentioned. The butterfly effect is perfect to begin with. Imagine if the Winx time-traveled to encounter the Ancestral Witches (corporeal back then) and their minion Valtor yet as minions of Lord Darkar, and the Black Circle on Earth. Literally all the villains in their prime when both the Dragon and the Leviathan (yes, I loved what you did in S5) were still out there, together. If you triggered all these ideas in me, I can only imagine what you can do with them. I hope to always continue learning from you!

I didn’t even watch all season 7 - each time I rewatch the series I only ever watch the first 4. Season 5 onwards was a shamble expect maybe for season 5 itself. I swear Nickelodeon really ruined this amazing show and not since has anything come close to the original 4 seasons and at this point I don’t think anything can nor will.

@@SpecsTube But Nickelodeon aren't to blame for that. I mean, look at Rainbow's other shows recently like Regal Academy and 44 Cats.

Nickelodeon on the other hand made The Legend of Korra with brutal on-screen deaths and TMNT where Shredder stabbed Splinter to death uncensored.
