    I'd like to mention one of the cruellest moments of Winx Club. The way Aisha's biggest fear is darkness, and then, Valtor makes her blind. It's seriously so terrible.

    Flora’s fear could have been something like a green house on fire. That would symbolize her being afraid of the new rage she’s experiencing towards the Trix and if that will consume her (like how a fire consumes everything around it). Just like how Tecna isn’t used to emotions in general, Flora isn’t used to the darker side of her emotional spectrum to the degree she’s been feeling it. Get it? Degree? Like either temperature or the level of severity if you get burned? If I ever have kids, I pray for them and all of the dad jokes they’re going to have to endure lol But yeah, it’s not like Flora had nothing to work with. Just, not the most exciting aspects to use compared to the others.

      @Nameless omg I'd love that. Like there's only so much Flora feels she can do with protective or distraction spells. The Trix aren't letting up, and Mirta might be stuck as a pumpkin forever if she can't fix _that_ either. I know the 4Kidz line of Flora saying "hate" for the first time ever in regards to the Trix isn't canon (at least, it's not in the canon Italian version), but just imagine. Flora's never been hateful of anyone, no matter how harshly they've treated her, but the Trix have been so vile to her and her friends that she's feeling hatred and anger for the first time in her life. It'd be super cool if the writers ever delved into sweet natured Flora in fear of her own intrusive thoughts. She's always aware of how others are feelings, but herself?

    Giving most of monsters extreme/complete resistance to fairy magic in seasons 1-3 was a very effective "show, don't tell" explanation of _why_ Winx were treated as extraordinary for being so capable in combat, and justifying the existence of red fountain/the specialists in general.
    I get the feeling that it's normally not that difficult to hard-counter a fairy in open combat, and that Alfea mostly trains their fairies for taking on non-combat/supportive roles in society.

    In my opinion Flora's fear would be being not good enough. I think about Surfuce Pressure from Encanto. I can totally see Flora being scared of bringing dissapointment to people. Being unable to help friends with something, getting low score in a test, her plants dying, Mirta being a pumpkin forever, Helia not reciprocating her feelings. Her nightmare? So many things and voices once at the time, mocking her, calling her, overlapping each other, and she just being overwhelmed.

  • @honestlyboringperson
    @honestlyboringperson 2 ปีที่แล้ว +218

    I imagine if the Nightmare Gargoyle drains a powerful fairy or witch, they gain an ability derived from the nightmare.
    For example..
    From Stella’s nightmare it could gain an ability to reflect attacks
    From Musa’s it can cut off the ability of speech and hearing
    From Tecna it gains the ability to create a sticky web of numbers
    An idea for Flora’s nightmare.
    She fears being useless. In contrast with her power of plants and life, she finds herself in a dead wasteland, her friends lying dead on the ground, she attempts to heal them with her magic, but it just turned them to stone and she watches as her now petrified friends turn to dust.

    An idea to build on for the garden idea for Flora's nightmare: She's a living flower in her mother's garden, but she's in a different section than her father and her sister. She can see them from her section, but can't get to them....and only their section is one that her mother bothers to water. As she starts to wilt, she tries to shift her roots closer to both be closer to her family and get some water. Once she steps outside of her section, her mother declares her a weed and rips her out.

  • @IveGot25Seconds
    @IveGot25Seconds 2 ปีที่แล้ว +76

    I often connect myself to/with Flora for the simple fact that we are caring and affectionate towards people and nature around us.
    Our worst nightmare perhaps is knowing that the tremendous amount of love we share are being made fun of, that we are being joked about for being sweet and not confrontative or open to our own problems or feelings, that we cry and emote easily....

  • @elusivo3347
    @elusivo3347 2 ปีที่แล้ว +116

    On the community post, I’ve commented that a way the episode would’ve been much better is if the monster not only grew from exploiting each girls’ nightmares and fears. It even absorbs and siphons their magic which leaves the Winx not only exhausted from stress, but also having a portion of their magic stolen. The monster could even fight the Winx with their own spells to establish the threat and strength.

  • @pedrourbano501
    @pedrourbano501 2 ปีที่แล้ว +78

    I just imagined a ideia for a remake of this episode, that idea being, each nightmare has a different animation style that correlates to the nightmare.
    Stella's would be in a shadow puppet style, since in would be very fitting with her powers.
    Musa's nightmare would be like one of those old silent cartoons, for obvious reasons, have you seen how creepy those can be.
    Tecna's would be in one of those early uncanny CGI animations, those where the characters look lifeless, plastic and emotionless.

    We all need to talk about season 2 it was a really dark and creepy season if many of u don't remember the pixies were discussing about escaping from darker's control however there is a particular scene where a pixie is telling locket (Bloom's pixie) that they should escape soon so, that they don't end up like the other pixies then the next scene cuts to some pixies clothes floating around as locket looks sadly at it also there are are many details that the pixies give us throughout the season
    Explaination: what the pixies mean by "You don't wanna end up like the others'' it basically means that they're being tortured and killed in darkar's place which truly shows how much of a monster darker is

    Thank you so cordially for covering this episode, Thomas! It is one of my most favourite and interesting ones.
    I have nothing more to add than for the fears of Flora and Aisha.
    Although Aisha is still missing in this season, we do see her deepest fears in season 2. Darkar and being stuck forever in her childish physique, not being able to escape to strict rules of traditions of royalty. Plus a pinch of darkness and pure loneliness and isolation.
    For Flora, and after reading some of the down comments, I say that her biggest fear would be that she is just a pure failure and a mistake. The phobia that nobody cares for her, that everyone feels annoyed by her and that she is completely useless and weak as a fairy and a friend. Her friends teasing her, the Trix mocking her, Faragonda saying that she misjudged her and that she is nothing but a waste of magic, her parents and sister being completely disappointed and ashamed of her. If we add Helia - that he also made the mistake of loving her. That would have crushed her, especially with the big and caring heart she has. Also let us add that everything she comes in contact with: plants, people, animals, she brings only pain and misery.
    For Bloom, although, it was rather small. Yes, self-doubting herself, Sky’s treason, being adopted but also season 3 showing her fear regarding her Enchantix - that she is a completely failure as a fairy and also that she was the reason for the distraction of her own realm and the demise of her beloved family.

    This makes me reminisce when the Trix were actually good at scheming and didn't need to have some other entity tell them what to do. Even in season 6 when they take over again, they are reliant on Selina's book and her guidance for ways to deal with the winx rather than using their own years of knowledge and resources to device ways to take them out. It's as if they've learned nothing on what works best against them.

    Hi everyone! Sorry for the late comment but I was on vacation with my family. This was amazing, which is to be expected at this point, especially with one of the best episodes of the series. I know it's rather basic, but I really love the more defensive fight choreography this episode as well. I also CAN'T believe that I didn't notice the connection between Musa quote"challenging" the monster by writing it off as a symbol nightmare. As for Flora's nightmare (going off of season 1 Flora here) I think it could start with her on Lynfia trying to help her parents. The twist however is that she ends up hurting everyone instead. For example, it could start out with her helping her father with a potion to heal a sick animal. However, she makes a mistake that turns it into poison. (Her father would probably catch this before she poisons the creature but this is just the beginning) as the nightmare continues, Flora would decide that because the first mistake was caused by her hands, she would resort to using her powers instead only to find out that this was making things even worse. Eventually she would come to realize that she was admitting an aura that was hurting everyone around her (think Darcy's spell from" The Black Willow's tears" episode) realizing this Flora would actively try to suppress her powers. Things would continue to get worse however, as even standing completely petrified with fear she seems to be emitting this energy and it is only continuing to get stronger. Realizing this, the young fairy would start running away. Trying to take it as far away as possible as to not hurt anyone. She would then try increasingly desperate measures such as trapping herself in a cave with a rock slide to conceal the powers but anytime you try to use her powers to call on plants they would simply die and anything she used to try and conceal the power would simply dissolve. The nightmare would probably end with her trying to flee to magix only to realize that this curse was still following her. How dark it would actually end up becoming would ultimately be up to the staff of course.

    I once read a Winx fic and when this episode was covered. The OC's fear was her parent's disappearance and a wolf. The latter which chased And slashed her on her back, and the author went into great detail about the bloodied mark.
    And as it turns out her fear of wolves is due to a traumatic wolf attack, and the she even has the scar on her back as a painful reminder.

    Ooo! I really wanna rewatch the 4Kids dub again! And I still have that spark in me to rewrite the series from the top, but, I guess fittingly given the episode and video, I fear fueling the fire due to be burned by judgement, a lot of it my own. So many people love the stuff I write, but it just bounces right off me. The very few criticisms I have gotten have left scars on me. Then again, I think those instances were more about me misunderstanding the assignments I was given in school than actual bad composure. Point is, it's hard to write with anxiety and MDD.

  • @tomast7339

    Most likely it's not intentional but i find it interesting that the nightmares order is simillar to a typical victims order in slasher movies.
    Stella is first. Most of the time the spoiled popular girl are the first victim.
    Musa is next, the victim who does not take seriously the threat
    Tecna is third. The nerd of the group.
    Bloom is the last victim. Representing the one who throw themselves to beat the killer but getting killed or survive the injuries.
    And Flora, the nicest of the group, is the final girl, who manege to survive

    Thomas, just wanna say I grew up around the time of the 4Kids dub but it never gelled with me for various reasons but in spite of me going "it's just not my thing" I always had an "outsider looking in" mentality with the franchise. It was enough of such that I at least made friends with people who did live and die for the show and amazingly I never was such a douchebag about my dislike/indifference that it scared them off, and I've stayed in touch off-and-on with one of them for more than 15 years now and have kept at least minor tabs on how the series has progressed.
    Cue me finding your season 5 rewrite, which I was absolutely fascinated in, and then subsequently just tuning in whenever I've had time to kill because it has been a lot of fun hearing someone gush over a show they adore while not shying away from the missteps in the writing.
    Looking forward to your eventual season 6 rewrite. I always thought it was dirty how Roxy's just indiscreetly pushed to the side after season 4 (that didn't happen to Aisha/Layla, obviously) and I thought it could have been fascinating to have her be a foil to Selina as the start of a new generation of magic users on Earth and their wildly different views on things.

  • @arcusconcordia7422

    It’s very interesting how different the 4Kids and the cinelume dubs are. As someone who watches winx club in german, I have noticed that sometimes the dialogues are 4Kids likely or seemed to be inspired (? Idk, or maybe it’s just because of the language and the german version changed for better understanding? Idk… again) but most-times the dub follows the RAI version strictly. Maybe that has something to do with the german channel RTLII, this channel was well known for it’s own opening themes and playing a lot of anime or storyline driven cartoons like winx club or kim possible. Winx aired on RTLII in germany and for season one and two it had a totally iconic opening theme (it’s called Heller als Licht.) for the DVD-version they recorded the original italian version in german and later when winx club moved to the channel Nick it got the season one italian version opening theme in german with a different lyrics than season one (wow this is very confusing) so what I am trying to say is: since they were changing the opening theme they might have changed some dialogue aswell - at least in season 1&2

    This episode still freaks me out every time I watch it. The monster is moving so strangely and the music is also weird... Still I love it. Since you are doing more Winx analysis stuff lately, would you consider a take on Griffin? I feel as if the show just can't decide wether she is on the good or bad side (personally I see her somwhere in the sassy middle), but in S1 she approves of the Trix harming the fairys (not just harmless jokes) then in S3 she is all good and well, later seasons are a mess anyways. But it also bugged me how the red fountain and Alphea were so close all the time and Cloudtower with the headmistress who is also part of the company of light is always left out. I have some theories in my mind, but if I break it down to canon stuff, she seems very inconsistent.

    I never made the connection between the fear episode and the Crystal Labyrinth.
    The sad thing, and this is a point I had with the Crystal Labyrinth episode to, is that we don't see Flora's nightmare, neither did we see her moral choice in the CL episode. That's sad because that made her lose something. Since Musa nightmare and her Labyrinth choice were kinda the same I would have loved to see her swapped (even if Musa's choice makes me cry EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!)

    I personally prefer what happens in Cinelume compared to 4kids - Mirta's explanation is too wordy in 4kids. Mirta focusing on Bloom in this case makes sense, because remember - Mirta saw that Icy wanted to isolate Bloom to drain her power/harm her and thus went to warn her, after which she got turned into a pumpkin. Mirta knows the Trix are up to no good, and want something from Bloom, and she was trying to save her. Bloom linking it to Icy, and the witches mentioning that they want to steal Bloom's power directly makes the scene later on when her powers get stolen lose impact imo. At that moment when her powers get stolen, Bloom is left in shock - not only on finding out who she really is, but also the fact that the Trix, her sworn enemies, knew more about her than she did, which explains why she broke down. I also don't think any further nightmare gargoyles exist - that would make the scene lose impact too, because I am PRETTY sure Faragonda and Griselda would put up a better barrier to keep monsters like that out of Alfea, if it significantly harmed a whole senior class. 4kids makes the scene feel less serious - while in Cinelume (and the other international dubs) it feels a lot more serious. (Just my opinion)

    A general issue I see with the 4kids dub is that it is too wordy/expository. Too much information is packed into scenes where it is not necessary. Certain scenes in media thrive due to limited dialogue, and in 4kids they cut that out entirely, packing info into scenes where it is ill-fitting. (Look at when Darkar gives the Trix their Gloomix, or when Musa finds Stormy on the roof) - in the Cinelume and International dubs, those scenes hold more weight, while in 4kids, so much is said there it feels...off. And Bloom in 4kids thinking that she might not be from earth is too much exposition - it ruins the plot later on, as her scene in the Domino castle with Daphne isn't as much as a revelation anymore, and she doesn't know much about magic on earth at this point, so it should not have been mentioned. Just my opinion.
