I like her, and her weird tech magic??? Ok she should have a season on her own with weird techno magic stuff cyberpunk inspired?! Musa ias alright too, dunno i like flora cause, cool powers, , honestly they could ll get more actual character plots?
I don't know how it is in other dubs, but in the Latin Spanish dub there is a scene where she says she was playing Resident Evil. That's how you know she is the one
Omg yessssssss I loved her so much she was so cool to me not necesarily due to her powers but she was so smart and her character had some many parts to it besides her being the generically "nerdy" character
Aisha was a dancer and Bloom was a weird art kid. The fact they eliminated that in the later seasons is sad. I personally love World Of Winx being more character focused, having improved animation and a somewhat interesting twist on fairytales. And I like that it’s disconnected from everything else too. Also the transformation in season 6 is called Tynix- as in tiny 😅💙
Holy - I literally Forgott Blooms room before coming to alfea was full of drawings of Fairy tale creatures and pretty girls in dresses how could i forget that, i remember i was rlly impressed as a kid
Yeah they dropped that so quickly. There’s a reason she was my fav in the early seasons: she was always the underdog, with no home planet, always the last to understand thing and also had trouble with her enchantix, thinking she will never be a real fairy. She was the art kid, she was sassy but a bit shy... I loved her.
@@homabasiri22184kids was definitely a odd company. But the lines they used for certain shows had me laughing. Like when in Sonic X. Sonic told Knuckles he lost the chaos emeralds. And Knuckles responded with. ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW?! It just makes me laugh every single time! 😆🤣🤣🤣
I really miss the times of the old seasons of Winx Club. The old transformations where beautiful and the way they earn it was realistic and meaningful. Enchantix is still the fan favorite because of that. The story was dark and it made sense why Bloom was the focus. The newer seasons just don't have the same magic at all it's just about Bloom and the other Winx are side lined. The story is also too childish. I hope the Reboot will be better, because if they mess that up too, its over with Winx.
Yk, this video mentally hurt me, bc in the season six Stella wasn't out of nowhere fahionista, she was one already in season one, Aysha is supposed to be the sporty one? And Bloom is truly a blank slate, but she used to be an artist in the begging
For the record, seasons 1-4 have 3 different English dubs in total. One by 4Kids, another by a company called Cinelume, and another down the line from Nickelodeon. 4Kids only managed to dub seasons 1-3 which is what you what you watched for those seasons. 4Kids changed quite a few things such as names and plot points. The name changes aren't as important, but in terms of the plot: -The term Winx was just a word Bloom made up to name their club. Not a source of their power -Musa was never a princess -Daphne never gave Bloom the dragon flame, she was originally born to be it's wielder -Daphne is Bloom's older sister and original heir to Domino's throne before she sacrificed herself Cinelume dubbed seasons 1-4. They kept most names and all plot points the same. Later down the timeline Rainbow made a deal with Nickelodeon to co-produce the show. So Nickelodeon ALSO dubbed seasons 4-6 and I think season 3 as well. They kept the facts the same as well. When you reached season 4 there's probably a good chance you were switching between Cinelume's and Nickelodeon's dub without realizing. Cuz ik for sure I did that as a kid. And finally, all English dubs changed Aisha's name to Layla for some reason until season 5 where they randomly switched back. Her name was always Aisha in the original Italian version of the show ALSO also, I would like to quickly say that Techna was fleshed out in season 2 as she tried to get in touch with her own emotions more as well as understanding other's emotions during her whole things of being upset with Timmy. Nickelodeon backtracked on a lot of shit in terms of their growth to lower the age target of the show. Her "development" in season 5 is rehashing her arc from season two only for toddlers in my opinion. Season 2 overall focused more on the characters rather than the plot which I can understand some people won't like as much so I won't argue against your opinion on it sucking, but you can't say the characters weren't fleshed out if you paid attention more. ESPECIALLY TECHNA! And I'm sorry saying season 5 was the best so far is just criminal
@@AlpacaEmpress Season one's always been my favorite cuz of the vibes it just has with Bloom starting to discover who she is and it's when the Trix were at their peak and girlbossed the entire season. Season 3 is so far my second favorite now that I'm rewatched seasons 1-4
I know this is meant to be a humorous recap but I need to talk about season 1's Diaspro episode and consequently Bloom leaving the school. When I was a kid I got so much second hand embarrassment from the Diaspro episode but rewatching the show now I understand that actually it's not just funny Bloom being confused hijinks - it's a plot point of how the trix have tormented her so much she come after her in so many different ways that she's starting to lose her grip on reality. This is a very real thing that happens with abuse, and I love how the show handled it, how Bloom left the school because she felt guilty for what happened with Diaspro and she wanted to get away from the witches, but ironically by moving away from her main support system (the other winx and the school) she just became a lot more vulnerable to the attacks of the witches. This is a kids show and yet they portrayed the effects of abuse so realistically, I love that.
I also like how in season 6 when Bloom tries to do the same thing that the Winx, but especially Stella tries to tell her not to, and yet Daphne says no, she needs to go because after she nearly killed Flora...yeah...I wouldn't wanna be around anybody either.
While I do think you are making good points, I feel a better reason for her leaving would be getting for suspended for ATTACKING A MEMBER OF A ROYAL FAMILY.
@@cureidolsmile9820 they already had that be why in season 3 Diaspro's no longer a princess. For Bloom? Is it really wise to suspend the one who can suspend all magic if she feels like it? In season 1 it was "whoops" and 4kids just had her get diluted a bit.
Don't get me wrong. When I first saw Enchantix when it was new, I 👏 Dropped 👏 Dead! But when Believix came out, I thought it was infinitely better! They were like Enchantix but urban, and it was a new spin at the time to have modern-looking fairies that no other franchise ever did before. Makes sense why Believix's marketing was so massive back then.
NOT THE TECNAA SLANDERRR😭. But Tecna did have a character and s2 was much more character driven with Musas family, Tecna and Timmy relationship, Aisha’s introduction and her slowly being part of the group(srsly its hard to imagine the Winx without Aisha, also kinda biased cuz she’s my fav) and Floras cute crush on Helia. But I think s3 was definitely the best. Valtor was THE BEST VILLAIN. HES AN ICON, HES A LEGEND, AND HE IS THE MOMENT. Always stealing spells from other realms with style and being very cunning. Also Enchantix IS THE CUNTIEST TRANSFORMATION OF THE SERIES. THE BEATIFULL DESIGNS, THE WAY THEY WERE EARNED, THE FAIRY DUST. GREAT TRANSFORMATION. Also justice for: Roxy, Harmonix and Stella’s moon side. Edit: also justice for Nabu.
All girls are loved! That is why all Fans screamed: "Where is Tecna???" When the reboot was teased and she wasn't in it again. (But her 3d Modell just wasn't finished)
This show was such an important part of my childhood and I love it so much... even if the 4Kids Dub was unhinged. Honestly, every 4K dub is kinda unhinged. 😅
Someone says it omg! The amount of details I want to correct, clarify, or point out so badly. Not that the video's bad. I just know TOO much about the show lmao
they know WoW isnt S8; being an athlete is a very basic plot point and the only thing she has going for her, they should've expanded on her being a ballet dancer; if Nick was smart, they should've given all of the girls time to become guardians/protectors outside of college, that would've allowed for greater expansion and stories but, alas, this is what we got..
"Furry powers", "The Queen of the Furies", "Just in time for Pride Month", "Sexy Swan".... 🤣🤣🤣 Gosh, you've made the recap of Season 7 MUCH MORE enjoyable to watch than Season 7 episodes themselves
The reason wh Nabu is in the second movie is because it chronologically takes place after the first movie and before the fourth season. But, due to both the Fourth season and 2nd movie being in production around the same time and the former coming out a year early, Rainbow changed the girls into Believix fairies for marketing.
I don't hate the pixies unlike all other Winx "accessories" they do play a narrative purpose and play a role in the story despite being obviously made to sell toys. Each pixie complements their fairy and helps them in one way or another: - Locket is the pixie is passages. She always knows the right way and can open portals and doors. Which is what Bloom needed since she was looking for answers, for her parents and the truth about her past. Locket is humble and a little of a scaredycat, which contrasts Bloom's impulsiveness (you can see that for example when Bloom wanted to try her "new powers" right away while Locket advised against it, and then we got Dark Bloom) - Piff is the pixie of dreams. She helps Layla/Aisha sleep despite her nightmares, and her childish nature allows her fairy to act like a big sister, making her more confident since she has to take care of her and not indulge too much in her own fears. - Digit is very similar to Tecna, but far more emotional, which helps Tecna be more emotional as well. Since they have the same interests and similar personality Digit can criticize Tecna in a way it doesn't comes wrong since the same remarks from other people could offend her or be wrongly interpreted. - Chatta is the opposite of Flora, a flying chatter box. However she is the one who helps Flora be more open and finally confess her feelings to Helia. - Tune is the pixie of etiquette. She acts as an older sister or mother figure that Musa didn't have. She cleans her room and criticises her manners. She is probably one of the reasons why Musa became more traditionally feminine in season 3. Regardless if that is a good thing or not. It's very likely Musa's tomboyish persona was a result from her losing her mother early and living in poverty with her bitter father. - Amore is the pixie of love. She is just as of a romantic as Stella is, and probably more. For a person so deprived and yet eager for love as Stella, Amore is a great support and source of that love. Digit and Amore are in my opinion the less well written pixies, but they are still good enough.
I always found the pixies annoying but probably cuz of the way their characters reacted. But your comment made me realize how well thought-out each pixie role was to their fairies
Dealing with non-magical stuff ig. Unfortunatly, in the show they aren't flashed out, but in the comics they sometimes act in the city instead of the police and deal with stuff fairies and witches can't like monsters imune to magic.
as a professional animator just want to chime in: lots of shows are flash animated (it's called adobe animate now). the new animaniacs is flash-animated. the drop in quality you're seeing isn't because it's in flash, it's because they're over-using tweening (short for in betweening: basically animating fewer frames and having the software automate more, but as you can see the automation is bad). you can search 'animation tweening' for more info about this process. we associate this look with old newgrounds animation because they used a lot of tweening as well since they didn't have the time and/or knowhow to animate real inbetweens.
4:42 EXACTLY! If it weren't for the Trix, the main character wouldn't have powers in the first place, because she couldn't transform until they attacked her in one episode of the series, or sent a troll to Stella. Without Trix, we wouldn't even have a series. And you can't tell me that they aren't the best part of the series.
The witch WAS turned into a pumpkin!!! I knew it wasn’t just a fake memory!!!! I knew it!!!!!! I’m sorry, it’s just that that one plot point is what I remember most about the show (and I loved it, transformation special interest brrrr) but for so many years I didn’t know if it was actually a thing in the show or if I made it up in my head This video gave me peace I’ll be forever grateful for
I don't know if the dub is to blame (who am I kidding it probably is), but the recap for seasons 1-3 just seems off like you didn't get the story and characters, which make the recap for later seasons a little weird. For example Tecna's arc in season 5 is just a more flashed out repeated storyline from season 2. And Musa and Aisha have a good amount of screen time with the exploration of their past, fears, etc. Tecna and Flora do get the short end of the stick in that department unfortunately.
To be fair this is something I noticed about some of the more recent videos. They tend to gloss over things to make more “haha funny” jokes rather than actually analyzing or recapping the story. I remember I saw these types of comments in the ninjago video as well where people mentioned he missed a lot of things from the show or complained about things not being explained when the show did explain them and such.
20:19 I'm the same way. When my mom told me she was divorcing my dad my reaction was "About time." I never met 2 people who hatred each other more than my parents.
Layla/Aisha really got done dirty. I think it was meantioned that she hates or is scared of the dark and then she gets turned blind. I mean, it gets fixed in the next episode (like almost everything), but you'd think that's a traunatic experience. She then gets given a boyfriend/fiancé/husband who becomes the only character to fully die and never come back in any form. Girl faces this shit only to be left in the sidelines for all of the later seasons...
If the winx was more adult/serious daphne and thorens relationship would have been a sad story about a girl who was previous isolated and alone being love trapped by a boy with no shot at his own families money/throne so he tried to get in with her.
I've never seen someone over the age of 10, who wasn't a troll, hold the later seasons so high when in comparison to the first ones. Not saying your opinion is wrong, even though I disagree, just saying this is a weird experience. I could say that the reason the 1st and 2nd seasons weren't "good" is because of the 4kids dub, but I've never experienced winx in English, so I can't say for sure
To be fair, even as a little kid i liked s5 a HELL of a lot more than the later ones. Also didnt really love s4. I don't even hate the 3D. I think if the series is looked at without nostalgia goggles (ive tried to watch the earlier seasons now that im older and everyone said they were a lot better, but they didnt hold my interest at all), season 6 is when the quality REALLY nosedived. 5 kinda holds up imo
@@cosmicwren To be fair, season 5 is easily the best season of the Nickelodeon era, with Harmonix being one of the best transformations, especially in the spells department. That said, there are still things that annoy me, like how Layla's trauma over losing Nabu is only addressed in 2 episodes; how Tecna seems to have forgotten how to show emotions; and, of course, them being in Alfea even though they are graduates. There are other things but I am already annoyed as it is.
for me, it just so happened that seasons 3 and 4 were the first seasons of Winx I watched as a kid and I loved them both immensely, so when I experienced seasons 1 and 2 I didn't like them as much, in fact, season 1 is probably my least favourite of them. and then season 5 was fine, but everything after that was just bleh. not counting World of Winx, I still haven't watched it.
Actually, Flora isnt the only one who's skin color changed every season. Aisha/Layla's skin color got lighter EVERY season. It was really sad to see for someone with her skin color watching Winx growing up bc i personality identified with her since she was the only one who looked like me. And seeing her look, yk, less and less like me was homestly not the best :(
@Sootielove too this day I have no idea why they even did that I have never seen a show do that before like did no one on the team see the issue of doing that?
"And I think Roxy is the best character they made so far." As a Roxy fan, yes to that! It was criminal that they kicked her to the side in season 5 and 6. And in season 7, they did her dirty by not giving her Butterflix and taking away her Stone of Memory.
If you wanted to watch the English, Cinelumè 1-3 (or Nick 3), Movie 1 Nick, Movie 2 (Dubbing bros.), Season 4 (Cinelumè or Nick), Seasons 5-7 progress as normal, but watch MOTA in between episodes 2 and 3 of Season 6...since the season 6 civillian outfits wouldn't make sense anywhere season 5...we also know that in-universe since season 4, Stella's been making all the outfits from civillain to mission specifics...so that's nice, too bad we don't ever get her designing the fairy forms...but then again...that's probably a good thing...Bloom has better creativity.
@@Superlad9494Rainbow has original english dub tho why would she watch Nickelodeon version or any other version? when she can watch all seasons w Rainbow english dub ? plus all the movies... no need to watch the stupid recaps and weird nonsense that Nickelodeon came up with ....
@@itsanna3rih Cinelumè is the original Rainbow English. Cinelumè and RAI English are the same thing not two different dubs, Cinelumè is just the studio's actual name that dubbed the first four seasons with Rainbow. Dubbing Bros. is also considered part of RAI English and from season 5 onwards whoever Rainbow works with is considered RAI English. As for the different dub options? Voice preference.
1:15:28 funny thing about that. by this point in the show the main writers for winx club were writers on blues clues lol. they were very much trying to appeal to toddlers instead of the adolescent demographic winx was originally made for
"I don't understand the need for two different mediums" That was like the main selling point of Galactik Football. Even despite tons of reused 3d shots, the matches were probably the only time I was remotely interested in football.
@@dorizelion This show was one of my biggest obsessions growing up even despite my heated hatred for the 3rd season. I wish there was more 3d because Alphanim nailed the style, shame that the cost of making it almost made them go bankrupt.
I gotta be honest, as a kid watching all of winx club, the 3D style switch up was the coolest thing to me Well I remember nothing, but I think i thought it was cool..
Shadow Phoenix is a negative to the dragon. It's the opposite of energy. It absorbs power and utilises it while The Water Stars are a real opposite to the dragon. Fire and water. Just like in math, 3 and -3 are opposites but so are 3 and 1/3. Darkar in concept is a fantastic villain, but he's pretty underutilised through-out the series. Still up there as one of the best winx villains imo. Theory: The Relix/Ultimate power is the Shadow Phoenix' original power. It explains why he calls himself Darkar and not the Shadow Phoenix. Why he has a humanoid form. Why he seems to be Winx level and y'know, not a cosmic all powerful deity who's the opposite of the great dragon. It explains WHY he says this power is greater than the dragon and the dragon flame. It's the power of the opposite. The dragon's weakness. The Shadow Phoenix' original power and that's why he doesn't allow the Trix to have a piece. He's clearly not that selfish as he gives them the gloomix and gives them his monsters to fight with. He doesn't want the Trix to have a piece of the Relix because it's HIS power. His original powers locked away behind a dimensional gate he has to go through. Not only that, but whoever locked his original powers away, which I assume was the dragon, made it so Darkar would NEED the power of the dragon to open it again. Which is honestly quite a clever way to keep it hidden. Edit: It also makes sense now why he sends the ancestral witches to domino to claim Bloom. He needs the power of the dragon fire in order to open the portal and judging by the fact he says "What? The codex is in 4 pieces?! Are you sure?" at the beginning of S2, it tells us he had the codex before or knew about it and that's why he sent the ancestral witches to domino to kidnap Bloom. So he could enter Relix. Sadly his plan was hindered by the Lord of the Templars who Faragonda said put Darkar in a deep slumber. Btw, it seems like Stormy catches up on this. After Darkar fails to open the portal and says he needs Bloom he rapidly sends the trix to go capture her. Stormy even comments: "I must say my stomache doesn't feel so good". She can tell something is wrong. He was pretending like he didn't know he needed Bloom. It's clear once Darkar has Bloom he doesn't need the Trix anymore. They gave him the key to the relix. To his power. This quote from Darkar also strengthens this theory: "Too much darkness, too much shadow" as he's trying to open the portal to relix. Darcy even remarks "but isn't darkness your power?". It is, but The Shadow Phoenix' original powers are too much for Darkar to handle. He's not used to that kind of power anymore after being stripped of it. That's why he needs Bloom to neutralise/balance the amount of Shadow magic present and that's also why Dark Bloom is essentially feeding Darkar the relix. She is filtering it and essentially, just like how a bird chews on it's food for it's kids so they wouldn't choke in it, Dark Bloom's making it absorbable for Darkar. There are no holes in this theory and is basically canon at this point judging by all the little details told. The only question that is left unanswered is, who defeated the Shadow Phoenix? The original dragon might have not been powerful enough to do it on it's own as we see how Darkar's Shadow magic weakens Bloom. So perhaps an outside source helped, like The Water Stars. After all the Water Stars and Dragon had more of a rivalry, but weren't enemies. Unlike the Shadow Phoenix who really just wanted eternal destruction and darkness. Something neither the Dragon nor the Water Stars would have wanted.
It makes sense, and it would probably really helped them finding some notes on a dragon mentioning stuff confirming it and it would be less weird than again an ultimate power
Watching this I just realized that my entire memory of Winx Club is based on season 3, just that I was somehow convinced that it was really dramatic and high stakes story
When I was a kid, I used to dislike Tecna (she wasn't girly / "pretty" like the other characters) until I saw the episode where she sacrificed herself to save Layla / Aisha's planet and it changed my whole perspective on her. She instantly became my favourite for her bravery, and going forward, I realised I had completely overlooked the cool things about her so I watched Winx Club from the beginning again. She has a TON of depth that I never realised before because I wasn't paying attention to her. There's a big emphasis on the fact that Tecna struggles to show her emotions, but she says herself that she "loses control" more often around her friends, and she can be seen being pretty ruthless in some of the fights to protect them (when Stella was turned into a frog and they were getting chased, Tecna was taking Stella's guards OUT and she had to be told to let up). There have been two points on the entire show (that I'm aware of) where she's cried - one when Bloom, Layla and Stella were going on a mission alone and she was worried, and second when she admitted to Timmy that she loved him ("I really didn't like not liking you, you know?"). Also, what really got me is that when Tecna is missing in the omega dimension, and Timmy is telling the girls about how he feels about her (the device he's built to try to rescue her needs emotional input to find / identify her properly), he says "Tecna isn't just my girlfriend, she's my best friend". I think that speaks volumes about her position in the Winx Club, and it's bittersweet: she isn't truly understood by any of the girls. She'd give her life to save them and did so, but Timmy is closest to her, and he was the only one to refuse to give up on her when she was presumed dead as well. They have a relationship thats unlike anything usually shown in a series like this. She seems like the "boring" character until you rewatch it and pay extra attention to what she's up to. Also, as someone whos 99% probably autistic, I find immense comfort in her and I can relate to her very well. I find social situations to be like a maze, I care so much about my friends but struggle to show it, and I form deep / "exclusive" bonds with like minded people, reaching such a small number I could count them on one hand. I just feel like an alien sometimes, and Tecna is like the "alien" winx. but that is not a bad thing. I feel like a lovely range of personalities are shown in "Winx Club" through the girls, and I'm glad Tecna is there too. ♥ Tecna has a really beautiful (imo) song called Chain Reaction. It's a mix of a love song about Timmy, her love of Technology and how she feels "different": People just don't understand My way of feeling's so different But I don't care I am proud of who I am Love is a chain reaction It starts from an emotion I see the stars in the sky I feel their revolution Give me wires and machines Electronic energy ultrasounds And I'll turn them into love The Universe's a mystery Supernovas give me a thrill But nothing's like Your heartbeat next to mine I know I have written such a novel on this character in this comment, but I love her to bits! So I wanted to leave this here so that others would see, and maybe give her a chance 💜
@@DrawciaGleam02 most likely to show how much they actually care about their duty to protect their people. I think Unicorn of War explained it better in I think it was the video about Enchantix, which he adores for the unique designs of the outfits to match the girls personalities
@DrawciaGleam02 Techna shows that this is only partly true. She sacrificed herself for her friends and Andros and still got her Enchantix (granted the in-universe explanation is that her action inadvertently saved her home planet of Zenith so it counted).
@@DrawciaGleam02 it sort of makes sense since that transformation grants you the status of fairy guardian of your world. Saving someone from your world shows how committed you are to it and how much you can prioritize your planet and its habitants.
The way I lowkey freaked when he pulled up the 4 kids dub, this is such an unhinged version of the show I can't believe we get to watch you react to it.
I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention Musa and the music producer guy and how Riven was somehow right but so wrong. Not that surprised though, it was super short.
This video (the beginning, at least) is not a recap of the winx club, but a recap of 4KIDS Winx, which was in a fact a censored version. The rest of the video from season 4 onwards is fine.
15:50 What Tecna said in the original is that she was grateful, but she prefered a gift for her and not her computer huh I hate the 4kids dub 24:10 TRANS MAGIC? WTF? I knew 4kids liked to butcher tv shows and yet I'm still surprised at the amount of nonsense they add 41:10 The ancestral witches were released from their prison in the 1 movie (it was shown in the after credits scene)
43:56 The second movie was supposed to take place between the first movie and season 4, but the animators were mandated to have the Winx in their season 4 designs. That's why Nabu was alive in that movie. Although, if it's the beginning of a new year at Alphea in that movie, would that mean that the season 4 premiere takes place a year after the second movie or did they postpone the first day of school at Alphea?
No it's beautiful! The ending for season 1 can represent the ending of depression or insecurities. That entire season Bloom had depression and she became more fearful and more insecure the more times her and her friends were attacked by the Trix, monsters, and kept getting in trouble unjustly. Evrytime the ztrix bully someone they make sure to make them feel vad about themselves as well ie "pathetic earth girl" "riven you still don't understand anything" choking out mirta LITERALLY torturing Bloom to dteal the dragon fire. Attaking Riven and giving him demonic nightmares. (Is this really a kids show?) Even the fruitiness the Trix have is just a mockery to make fairies feel like sex-objects. Which Icy even blatantly says "cute little fairy outfit". Its like a pyschologival thriller almost. Back to Bloom after all of this trauma going from a basic orfinary life was even more difficult because before she thought the magic world would be perfect and even liked witches and was very innocent and optimistic. She became miserable and paranoid and overcoming her fears led to this! Literally defeating your fears and not leaving them to die shows maturity that she hasn't been corrupted even though she was broken. Thanks for Ted Talk 9:02
One positive to come with a reboot is that they now have a library of lore they can pick and choose from, and because they have characters that were introduced later but with ties to established cast, they can hint to them more organically. In some ways, Darkor is a bigger-scale villain than Valtor, but as they took it season by season, they escalated and then de-escalated somewhat (kind of what happened with Avatar: Legend of Korra, in that its scale and risks went on a rollercoaster), perhaps they now see missed opportunities or bad mistakes and will rectify them, and find a good balance between not being infuriatingly childish like later seasons and not almost insultingly dark-edgy-grownup-wannabe like the live-action tried to be. I doubt it will happen, but I can hope. Winx Club's first three seasons hold a special place in my heart, as they went in Norway during the last years of my "childhood" where it was easier for me to truly get caught into the fantasy and wish fullfilment, I genuinely wanted to learn and figure out Bloom's mystery and see the girls get powerful and beat evil. By the time season four aired, I had moved on and I would only get bitter watching the changes, both because they were dumb and because I might have realized that I also had changed. I know that was why I was so embittered by the Pretty Cure anime; yes, they changed a lot, but just as much had I changed away from their target demographic, and I did not want to realize and instead got angry at them. So I was happy that I simply had fond memories of the Winx Club in my head, than the reality of what it was and how it became. I also think Enchantix worked because before then, we did have two seasons with the same outfits, and so it was a bigger breach of status quo to have them one by one change it. When I later heard and realized they changed every season, it didn't feel as empowering, because Enchantix was like a "final form" of fairies, the others didn't work. Bloomix, I feel, was the closest to work, because it was the group losing their powers and Bloom giving a part of the dragon flame to them. I think that change would have been even more powerful if they had gone all the seasons with Enchantix until that point. So, perhaps I will watch the reboot, if only the first few episodes, to see if I can relive that magic I had, if only a little. I have tried with fanfics, but often I ended up with "fix-it" fanfics where, for me, they encountered the same trouble as with FATE: Winx Saga; by attempting to be more mature, they instead have the characters curse, be easily upset and angsty, kill and in general things are more violent, when what I wanted was perhaps just a cleaner, more consistent and perhaps a bit less melodramatic version of Winx Club, where I could imagine child me watching it but also adult me having an easier time rewatching. Perhaps I will look for that fanfic again one day. Until then, thanks for an unhinged trip through memory lane.
I can recommend the "Almost magical" fan-comic, it's still ongoing and is a sequel about the next Winx generation, but is very well written and illustrated and gives the og Winx the respect they deserve
30:36 ngl the small Yugi mention already makes me kinda crave for a YuGiOh series recap video (IF you wouldn’t mind and feel pressured)✨👀 one can only hope
any mention of riven in this video is really funny to me because i have an oc who's also named riven and they're like the exact opposite of winx club riven that aside this was a really interesting video to watch since i never had any exposure to winx club until like a couple months to like a year ago
I know some people have a vendetta against the nick dub. But I think they did season 3 pretty well. Tecna’s scream will forever haunt my nightmares. Also Musa’s breakdown in season 3 episode 13. It also still makes me cry! 😢😭😭😭
1:27:09 Oh man *wheezes*!! The way my laugh quickly sounded like a teapot when you started roasting Season 8 asap with the art style 😂😂🤚🏾 I CANT XD (definitely gonna binge this from time to time, your sarcasm & commentary overall just never fails to keep me entertained💖💖)
I agree when everyone says season 8 is the worst: 1. The Winx girls literally look the same 2. They whitewashed Aisha and Flora 3. They made Stella’s skin and hair color pale 4. The boys looking like lesbians 5. They gave the girls garbage personalities 6. They ruined Enchantix and Sirenix 7. The storyline doesn’t really makes sense The only good things about the season are Riven coming back and some of the girls outfits look cute
Agreed the only thing i liked was riven coming back and his entire switch up made no senese in season 6 especially with how super sweet he was in season 5
The Tecna disrespect hurt, she was my favourite growing up! Even now I fully stand by the fact that Tecna, Musa and Aisha are the better 3, never liked Bloom and Stella and Ig Flora was alright

@@axstorm2191There are 3 dubs: 4kids, cinelum and nickelodeon (this ones are like movies but cute a Lot of plot) 4kids is known for changing plot points for no reason and shortening episodes to fit it's time, one of the changes for exeple: Musa is not a princess, Stella DOES carry her ring around (in the part the video showed she was going on a date and the ring didint Match her outfit so she gave it to Bloom but it was a trap from the witches) amongst other changes
@@SugarD-yx5xi DUDE WTF I ALWAYS THOUGHT 4KIDS WAS CANON LIKE THE CORRECT LORE OMG! & i swear i saw the scene where Stella gave Bloom her ring because it didn’t match her outfit but that was like on the winx website or the dvd i can’t remember. just like i was confused when they didn’t talk about Flora’s home realm & that whole episode & the halloween episode. now idek what’s canon & i’ve been a diehard fan since i was like 6 or 7.
Tecna is the best winx by Virtue of not being regularly stupid
The fact that they continue to slander her...;-;
Tecna is my brothers fave Winx, I like Musa. 💖
She also had the best normal transformation
cuz she's not "like the other girls" ? lmao
I like her, and her weird tech magic??? Ok she should have a season on her own with weird techno magic stuff cyberpunk inspired?!
Musa ias alright too, dunno i like flora cause, cool powers, , honestly they could ll get more actual character plots?
This dub makes everything feel unhinged. Everything from the odd one-liners the Techna’s British accent 😭😭😭
That's old 4Kids for ya.
4kids dub had the best theme song though

@@vanzy01 yeah because it's actually Dan Green
"No one is fan of Tecna..." OH HELL NAH, You will not insult best girl like that
I don't know how it is in other dubs, but in the Latin Spanish dub there is a scene where she says she was playing Resident Evil. That's how you know she is the one
tecna has no personality
Why does she have a Karen hair cut?😭😭😭

@@magicalgirlanimefan because back in 2005 it wasn't a Karen haircut????
As a Tecna fan - kindly shush, she was the cool one. She literally sacrificed herself to save the universe and then found a way to survive in ice hell
Omg yessssssss I loved her so much she was so cool to me not necesarily due to her powers but she was so smart and her character had some many parts to it besides her being the generically "nerdy" character
I love her❤❤
Justice for Tecna 😭 She’s always been my fav
On an unrelated note, I found it weird that her friends never try to find her in that ice hell (Omega).
@@AI7428 they probably thought her as good as dead tho knowing winx that would never stop them lmao
Aisha was a dancer and Bloom was a weird art kid. The fact they eliminated that in the later seasons is sad. I personally love World Of Winx being more character focused, having improved animation and a somewhat interesting twist on fairytales. And I like that it’s disconnected from everything else too.
Also the transformation in season 6 is called Tynix- as in tiny 😅💙
Yesss Aisha/Layla and Musa bonded over dancing in that one episode. And I think Aisha was sporty too.
Holy -
I literally Forgott Blooms room before coming to alfea was full of drawings of Fairy tale creatures and pretty girls in dresses how could i forget that, i remember i was rlly impressed as a kid
Yeah they dropped that so quickly. There’s a reason she was my fav in the early seasons: she was always the underdog, with no home planet, always the last to understand thing and also had trouble with her enchantix, thinking she will never be a real fairy. She was the art kid, she was sassy but a bit shy... I loved her.
Yes I was so confused when he asked what Layla liked. I vividly remember her being very active 😭
THEY LITERALLY KILLED BLOOMS ARTSY PERSONA IM SO MAD
without tecna they would still be asleep on that island in season 1
STOP BREATHING
HAHAH HELP

I really miss the times of the old seasons of Winx Club. The old transformations where beautiful and the way they earn it was realistic and meaningful. Enchantix is still the fan favorite because of that. The story was dark and it made sense why Bloom was the focus. The newer seasons just don't have the same magic at all it's just about Bloom and the other Winx are side lined. The story is also too childish. I hope the Reboot will be better, because if they mess that up too, its over with Winx.
I swear all the transformations after harmonix is just them spinning around and doing the same thing
Nah the new ones ate aside from season 8
@rainbowsubs2 I can agree with you. Although Mythix was Meh, mostly because of the 3D animation style. Should have stayed in 2D.
Yes, Winx club used to be such a unique show that didn't treat it's fans like they were stupid and then Nick ruined it
World of winx was a good breath of fresh air tho it felt similar enuf to old winx in terms of attempt of storyline
Dark Bloom changed my childhood
She was my gay awakening lol
Gay/bi awakening starter pack
So fun when characters turn evil but also hot
Ummmm.... I don't think I wanna ask
@@four_girls_in_search_of_awesomAgreed.
Theres's only one rule for everyone that watched Winx when they were children, or you had a crush on Flora or you wanted to be her, no other option
Please don’t remind me that flora was like five year old me’s bisexual awakening
thats so true omg
I'm trans and it's the second option for me lol can u tell im trans fem
Shoot thst means i had a crush
My bisexual awakening was Icy, so 😅 she's still such a queen
Yk, this video mentally hurt me, bc in the season six Stella wasn't out of nowhere fahionista, she was one already in season one, Aysha is supposed to be the sporty one? And Bloom is truly a blank slate, but she used to be an artist in the begging
Yeah usually in the overview videos Negative tends to overlook small details like that😭
this video is trying to give me a lobotomy
For the record, seasons 1-4 have 3 different English dubs in total. One by 4Kids, another by a company called Cinelume, and another down the line from Nickelodeon. 4Kids only managed to dub seasons 1-3 which is what you what you watched for those seasons. 4Kids changed quite a few things such as names and plot points. The name changes aren't as important, but in terms of the plot:
-The term Winx was just a word Bloom made up to name their club. Not a source of their power
-Musa was never a princess
-Daphne never gave Bloom the dragon flame, she was originally born to be it's wielder
-Daphne is Bloom's older sister and original heir to Domino's throne before she sacrificed herself
Cinelume dubbed seasons 1-4. They kept most names and all plot points the same. Later down the timeline Rainbow made a deal with Nickelodeon to co-produce the show. So Nickelodeon ALSO dubbed seasons 4-6 and I think season 3 as well. They kept the facts the same as well. When you reached season 4 there's probably a good chance you were switching between Cinelume's and Nickelodeon's dub without realizing. Cuz ik for sure I did that as a kid.
And finally, all English dubs changed Aisha's name to Layla for some reason until season 5 where they randomly switched back. Her name was always Aisha in the original Italian version of the show
ALSO also, I would like to quickly say that Techna was fleshed out in season 2 as she tried to get in touch with her own emotions more as well as understanding other's emotions during her whole things of being upset with Timmy. Nickelodeon backtracked on a lot of shit in terms of their growth to lower the age target of the show. Her "development" in season 5 is rehashing her arc from season two only for toddlers in my opinion. Season 2 overall focused more on the characters rather than the plot which I can understand some people won't like as much so I won't argue against your opinion on it sucking, but you can't say the characters weren't fleshed out if you paid attention more. ESPECIALLY TECHNA! And I'm sorry saying season 5 was the best so far is just criminal
Was looking for this comment
It's spelled Tecna...
@@reflectingPastChoicesI think it’s different in other versions
I still like season 3 the most, but that might also be nostalgia talking.
@@AlpacaEmpress Season one's always been my favorite cuz of the vibes it just has with Bloom starting to discover who she is and it's when the Trix were at their peak and girlbossed the entire season. Season 3 is so far my second favorite now that I'm rewatched seasons 1-4
Layla slowly became Flora’s original color, and Flora shifted races immediately.
Why?
I know this is meant to be a humorous recap but I need to talk about season 1's Diaspro episode and consequently Bloom leaving the school. When I was a kid I got so much second hand embarrassment from the Diaspro episode but rewatching the show now I understand that actually it's not just funny Bloom being confused hijinks - it's a plot point of how the trix have tormented her so much she come after her in so many different ways that she's starting to lose her grip on reality. This is a very real thing that happens with abuse, and I love how the show handled it, how Bloom left the school because she felt guilty for what happened with Diaspro and she wanted to get away from the witches, but ironically by moving away from her main support system (the other winx and the school) she just became a lot more vulnerable to the attacks of the witches. This is a kids show and yet they portrayed the effects of abuse so realistically, I love that.
I also like how in season 6 when Bloom tries to do the same thing that the Winx, but especially Stella tries to tell her not to, and yet Daphne says no, she needs to go because after she nearly killed Flora...yeah...I wouldn't wanna be around anybody either.
While I do think you are making good points, I feel a better reason for her leaving would be getting for suspended for ATTACKING A MEMBER OF A ROYAL FAMILY.
@@cureidolsmile9820 they already had that be why in season 3 Diaspro's no longer a princess.
For Bloom? Is it really wise to suspend the one who can suspend all magic if she feels like it? In season 1 it was "whoops" and 4kids just had her get diluted a bit.
Congratulations you watched a dub that heavily changes the story and meanings of words in the og Bloom and daphne were sisters
I remember them always being sisters I was so confused?
@@JARD7318 oh its because they watched the 4kids dub and it changed the story they always were sistets
Tbf it's also the dub anyone watching this as it came out on television was watching, which I think is how most of the Fandom got started
@@isfpoisson they stoped airing the dub in 2008💀
@@isfpoisson4kids is not a global thing. Most people did get the original version of the story…
You liked believex better than enchantix that feels like a crime somehow
I'm very much in the minority here but believix was my favorite as a kid, and now believix and enchantix are tied for my favs 😅
Don't get me wrong. When I first saw Enchantix when it was new, I 👏 Dropped 👏 Dead! But when Believix came out, I thought it was infinitely better! They were like Enchantix but urban, and it was a new spin at the time to have modern-looking fairies that no other franchise ever did before. Makes sense why Believix's marketing was so massive back then.
You're not alone. As a kid, I thought Believix was the best and I still do.
Enchantix in my opinion is better because it actually feels like they earned it (they literally have to die to be reborn with it)
Ngl, i always liked Believix designs. From plot point Enchantix is far more superior i just like more modern looking designs
NOT THE TECNAA SLANDERRR😭. But Tecna did have a character and s2 was much more character driven with Musas family, Tecna and Timmy relationship, Aisha’s introduction and her slowly being part of the group(srsly its hard to imagine the Winx without Aisha, also kinda biased cuz she’s my fav) and Floras cute crush on Helia. But I think s3 was definitely the best. Valtor was THE BEST VILLAIN. HES AN ICON, HES A LEGEND, AND HE IS THE MOMENT. Always stealing spells from other realms with style and being very cunning. Also Enchantix IS THE CUNTIEST TRANSFORMATION OF THE SERIES. THE BEATIFULL DESIGNS, THE WAY THEY WERE EARNED, THE FAIRY DUST. GREAT TRANSFORMATION. Also justice for: Roxy, Harmonix and Stella’s moon side. Edit: also justice for Nabu.
Love this comment
Knocking Tecna.... but also grabbing her hair style.
All girls are loved! That is why all Fans screamed: "Where is Tecna???" When the reboot was teased and she wasn't in it again. (But her 3d Modell just wasn't finished)
This show was such an important part of my childhood and I love it so much... even if the 4Kids Dub was unhinged. Honestly, every 4K dub is kinda unhinged. 😅
Tbf 4kids had the best theme songs
I know 4kids dub for yugioh GX lives rent free in my mind. Sean Schemmel portrayal as T-bone and Mad dog were truly something.
4Kids dubs: Good voices, bad dialogue
4kids is the most iconic dub. The dialogue are so early 2000s I love it so much.
The piece of jewelry Bloom has is her fairy dust. The blue bottle with the smaller light blue hearts around it.
Someone says it omg! The amount of details I want to correct, clarify, or point out so badly. Not that the video's bad. I just know TOO much about the show lmao
@@nikki4803Same! Honestly when I watch a show and know everything about it. But still get excited over it. Every time! ☺️😁😆
EXACTLY
I clicked so fast before TH-cam removes it again. Pls let it stay up.
Aisha actually has something special:she is far better in sports than the rest of the group and even the boys
And World of Winx isn't actually season 8
they know WoW isnt S8; being an athlete is a very basic plot point and the only thing she has going for her, they should've expanded on her being a ballet dancer;
if Nick was smart, they should've given all of the girls time to become guardians/protectors outside of college, that would've allowed for greater expansion and stories but, alas, this is what we got..
@@pandaworld8166 Oh ty for explaining to me!
"Furry powers", "The Queen of the Furies", "Just in time for Pride Month", "Sexy Swan".... 🤣🤣🤣
Gosh, you've made the recap of Season 7 MUCH MORE enjoyable to watch than Season 7 episodes themselves
The trix were the queens of the furrys all along?
The reason wh Nabu is in the second movie is because it chronologically takes place after the first movie and before the fourth season. But, due to both the Fourth season and 2nd movie being in production around the same time and the former coming out a year early, Rainbow changed the girls into Believix fairies for marketing.
Oh that explains so much. I just assumed it wasn't cannon.
@@Mary_Studios.... you're joking....they created a major plot hole for marketing....
Random question, Have you read fourth wing?
I can forgive the plot hole entirely, what I can't forgive is Bloom not using her super awesome healing magic from season 2 to save Nabu.
I don't hate the pixies unlike all other Winx "accessories" they do play a narrative purpose and play a role in the story despite being obviously made to sell toys. Each pixie complements their fairy and helps them in one way or another:
- Locket is the pixie is passages. She always knows the right way and can open portals and doors. Which is what Bloom needed since she was looking for answers, for her parents and the truth about her past. Locket is humble and a little of a scaredycat, which contrasts Bloom's impulsiveness (you can see that for example when Bloom wanted to try her "new powers" right away while Locket advised against it, and then we got Dark Bloom)
- Piff is the pixie of dreams. She helps Layla/Aisha sleep despite her nightmares, and her childish nature allows her fairy to act like a big sister, making her more confident since she has to take care of her and not indulge too much in her own fears.
- Digit is very similar to Tecna, but far more emotional, which helps Tecna be more emotional as well. Since they have the same interests and similar personality Digit can criticize Tecna in a way it doesn't comes wrong since the same remarks from other people could offend her or be wrongly interpreted.
- Chatta is the opposite of Flora, a flying chatter box. However she is the one who helps Flora be more open and finally confess her feelings to Helia.
- Tune is the pixie of etiquette. She acts as an older sister or mother figure that Musa didn't have. She cleans her room and criticises her manners. She is probably one of the reasons why Musa became more traditionally feminine in season 3. Regardless if that is a good thing or not. It's very likely Musa's tomboyish persona was a result from her losing her mother early and living in poverty with her bitter father.
- Amore is the pixie of love. She is just as of a romantic as Stella is, and probably more. For a person so deprived and yet eager for love as Stella, Amore is a great support and source of that love.
Digit and Amore are in my opinion the less well written pixies, but they are still good enough.
You know what, I don't like the pixies, but your comment made me understand their purpose better, so thank you!
I love the pixies I think they are cute.
I always found the pixies annoying but probably cuz of the way their characters reacted. But your comment made me realize how well thought-out each pixie role was to their fairies
now that i think about it, chatta just looks like if stella was a pixie...
I mean I liked them in the show pop pixies where they shined more
I just realized that Darkar is voiced by Jason Griffith, the voice of Sonic the hedgehog.
And Shadow the hedgehog.
And Sir Aaron from the 8th Pokémon movie: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
And Cilan from Pokemon Black and white. In the English dub.
NOT SONIC 😭
Lol real question: what were the specialists even supposed to be specialist off?😭😭
Also thanks for the video!
Being boyfriends i guess? Lol 😂
Probably fighting and combat idk🦧
Being arm candy
Being hot I guess
Dealing with non-magical stuff ig. Unfortunatly, in the show they aren't flashed out, but in the comics they sometimes act in the city instead of the police and deal with stuff fairies and witches can't like monsters imune to magic.
the tecna slander was uncalled for
"Do you think season 8 is as bad as everyone says it is?" IMMEDIATLY 100% YES!
I don't I think it's bad I think season 8 is really good.
it's aight but my main issue is the whitewashing
as a professional animator just want to chime in: lots of shows are flash animated (it's called adobe animate now). the new animaniacs is flash-animated. the drop in quality you're seeing isn't because it's in flash, it's because they're over-using tweening (short for in betweening: basically animating fewer frames and having the software automate more, but as you can see the automation is bad). you can search 'animation tweening' for more info about this process. we associate this look with old newgrounds animation because they used a lot of tweening as well since they didn't have the time and/or knowhow to animate real inbetweens.
4:42 EXACTLY! If it weren't for the Trix, the main character wouldn't have powers in the first place, because she couldn't transform until they attacked her in one episode of the series, or sent a troll to Stella. Without Trix, we wouldn't even have a series. And you can't tell me that they aren't the best part of the series.
The witch WAS turned into a pumpkin!!! I knew it wasn’t just a fake memory!!!! I knew it!!!!!!
I’m sorry, it’s just that that one plot point is what I remember most about the show (and I loved it, transformation special interest brrrr) but for so many years I didn’t know if it was actually a thing in the show or if I made it up in my head
This video gave me peace I’ll be forever grateful for
And it gave flora actually a plot to show off, while talking to a pumpkin?
And after she was cured of being a pumpkin, she said "F* this witchcraft, I'm a Fairy now." Mirta is the Icon.
@@declanmckenna6854 THE BEST CHARACTER
Icy turned her into a pumpkin for protecting Bloom
I loved Mirta, I'm sad they didn't keep her :(
(Also she was pretty and nice and I'm gay so that's probably why I liked her so much)
Not the Tecna insult😭😭😭
not great when the phrase "the winx get a special rock" is used to describe a plot point more than once
I don't know if the dub is to blame (who am I kidding it probably is), but the recap for seasons 1-3 just seems off like you didn't get the story and characters, which make the recap for later seasons a little weird. For example Tecna's arc in season 5 is just a more flashed out repeated storyline from season 2. And Musa and Aisha have a good amount of screen time with the exploration of their past, fears, etc. Tecna and Flora do get the short end of the stick in that department unfortunately.
Your cool ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To be fair this is something I noticed about some of the more recent videos. They tend to gloss over things to make more “haha funny” jokes rather than actually analyzing or recapping the story.
I remember I saw these types of comments in the ninjago video as well where people mentioned he missed a lot of things from the show or complained about things not being explained when the show did explain them and such.
20:19 I'm the same way. When my mom told me she was divorcing my dad my reaction was "About time." I never met 2 people who hatred each other more than my parents.
Can we agree that if UnicornofWar saw this video, he'd literally question half the things that were said here?
Yes. They would question a lot.
Glad someone else said it! Lol
Fr 😂
That late bloomer joke actually got me laughing so much I had to stoping eating my cereal 😅
Layla/Aisha really got done dirty. I think it was meantioned that she hates or is scared of the dark and then she gets turned blind. I mean, it gets fixed in the next episode (like almost everything), but you'd think that's a traunatic experience. She then gets given a boyfriend/fiancé/husband who becomes the only character to fully die and never come back in any form. Girl faces this shit only to be left in the sidelines for all of the later seasons...
If the winx was more adult/serious daphne and thorens relationship would have been a sad story about a girl who was previous isolated and alone being love trapped by a boy with no shot at his own families money/throne so he tried to get in with her.
Sounds an awful lot like frozen
I've never seen someone over the age of 10, who wasn't a troll, hold the later seasons so high when in comparison to the first ones. Not saying your opinion is wrong, even though I disagree, just saying this is a weird experience. I could say that the reason the 1st and 2nd seasons weren't "good" is because of the 4kids dub, but I've never experienced winx in English, so I can't say for sure
To be fair, even as a little kid i liked s5 a HELL of a lot more than the later ones. Also didnt really love s4. I don't even hate the 3D.
I think if the series is looked at without nostalgia goggles (ive tried to watch the earlier seasons now that im older and everyone said they were a lot better, but they didnt hold my interest at all), season 6 is when the quality REALLY nosedived. 5 kinda holds up imo
@@cosmicwren To be fair, season 5 is easily the best season of the Nickelodeon era, with Harmonix being one of the best transformations, especially in the spells department. That said, there are still things that annoy me, like how Layla's trauma over losing Nabu is only addressed in 2 episodes; how Tecna seems to have forgotten how to show emotions; and, of course, them being in Alfea even though they are graduates. There are other things but I am already annoyed as it is.
Yeah it is a weird experience seeing someone now hate on the later seasons.
for me, it just so happened that seasons 3 and 4 were the first seasons of Winx I watched as a kid and I loved them both immensely, so when I experienced seasons 1 and 2 I didn't like them as much, in fact, season 1 is probably my least favourite of them. and then season 5 was fine, but everything after that was just bleh. not counting World of Winx, I still haven't watched it.
I don't expect anything else from an avid anime fan
Actually, Flora isnt the only one who's skin color changed every season. Aisha/Layla's skin color got lighter EVERY season. It was really sad to see for someone with her skin color watching Winx growing up bc i personality identified with her since she was the only one who looked like me. And seeing her look, yk, less and less like me was homestly not the best :(
Aisha’s skin color didnt get lighter every season
Rr 3:40
Does anyone else remember when 4kids made all thier shows sing the national anthem? Bloom, Sonic, Kid Muscle etc. 🤣

How did you not notice Aisha’s color changing as well😂
The whitewashing in the later seasons makes me gag seriously, you cannot tell me they're still Flora and Aisha
@Sootielove too this day I have no idea why they even did that I have never seen a show do that before like did no one on the team see the issue of doing that?
Aisha was fine. Flora was the one whitewashed
46:07 and the fact anytime they’re NOT wearing heels, Like in Sirenix or Enchnantix, they would just stand on their tippy toes
"And I think Roxy is the best character they made so far."
As a Roxy fan, yes to that! It was criminal that they kicked her to the side in season 5 and 6. And in season 7, they did her dirty by not giving her Butterflix and taking away her Stone of Memory.
The title implies Winx Club was hinged to begin with 😂
I am so glad I can just watch the series in italian without wondering what dub I should go with
If you wanted to watch the English, Cinelumè 1-3 (or Nick 3), Movie 1 Nick, Movie 2 (Dubbing bros.), Season 4 (Cinelumè or Nick), Seasons 5-7 progress as normal, but watch MOTA in between episodes 2 and 3 of Season 6...since the season 6 civillian outfits wouldn't make sense anywhere season 5...we also know that in-universe since season 4, Stella's been making all the outfits from civillain to mission specifics...so that's nice, too bad we don't ever get her designing the fairy forms...but then again...that's probably a good thing...Bloom has better creativity.

@@itsanna3rih Cinelumè is the original Rainbow English. Cinelumè and RAI English are the same thing not two different dubs, Cinelumè is just the studio's actual name that dubbed the first four seasons with Rainbow.

As for the different dub options?
Voice preference.

"I don't understand the need for two different mediums"
That was like the main selling point of Galactik Football. Even despite tons of reused 3d shots, the matches were probably the only time I was remotely interested in football.
Woah never expected to see a Galactik Football mention here! Using 3D for the matches worked well, there were some really cool action shots there
@@dorizelion This show was one of my biggest obsessions growing up even despite my heated hatred for the 3rd season.
I wish there was more 3d because Alphanim nailed the style, shame that the cost of making it almost made them go bankrupt.

A recap of Winx Club series of 1h36 by Negative Legend? OF COURSE I'm stopping what I'm doing to watch it immediately! 😛
Shadow Phoenix is a negative to the dragon. It's the opposite of energy. It absorbs power and utilises it while The Water Stars are a real opposite to the dragon. Fire and water.
Just like in math, 3 and -3 are opposites but so are 3 and 1/3.
Darkar in concept is a fantastic villain, but he's pretty underutilised through-out the series. Still up there as one of the best winx villains imo.
Theory: The Relix/Ultimate power is the Shadow Phoenix' original power. It explains why he calls himself Darkar and not the Shadow Phoenix. Why he has a humanoid form. Why he seems to be Winx level and y'know, not a cosmic all powerful deity who's the opposite of the great dragon. It explains WHY he says this power is greater than the dragon and the dragon flame. It's the power of the opposite. The dragon's weakness. The Shadow Phoenix' original power and that's why he doesn't allow the Trix to have a piece. He's clearly not that selfish as he gives them the gloomix and gives them his monsters to fight with. He doesn't want the Trix to have a piece of the Relix because it's HIS power. His original powers locked away behind a dimensional gate he has to go through. Not only that, but whoever locked his original powers away, which I assume was the dragon, made it so Darkar would NEED the power of the dragon to open it again. Which is honestly quite a clever way to keep it hidden.
Edit: It also makes sense now why he sends the ancestral witches to domino to claim Bloom. He needs the power of the dragon fire in order to open the portal and judging by the fact he says "What? The codex is in 4 pieces?! Are you sure?" at the beginning of S2, it tells us he had the codex before or knew about it and that's why he sent the ancestral witches to domino to kidnap Bloom. So he could enter Relix. Sadly his plan was hindered by the Lord of the Templars who Faragonda said put Darkar in a deep slumber.
Btw, it seems like Stormy catches up on this. After Darkar fails to open the portal and says he needs Bloom he rapidly sends the trix to go capture her. Stormy even comments: "I must say my stomache doesn't feel so good". She can tell something is wrong. He was pretending like he didn't know he needed Bloom. It's clear once Darkar has Bloom he doesn't need the Trix anymore. They gave him the key to the relix. To his power.
This quote from Darkar also strengthens this theory: "Too much darkness, too much shadow" as he's trying to open the portal to relix. Darcy even remarks "but isn't darkness your power?". It is, but The Shadow Phoenix' original powers are too much for Darkar to handle. He's not used to that kind of power anymore after being stripped of it. That's why he needs Bloom to neutralise/balance the amount of Shadow magic present and that's also why Dark Bloom is essentially feeding Darkar the relix. She is filtering it and essentially, just like how a bird chews on it's food for it's kids so they wouldn't choke in it, Dark Bloom's making it absorbable for Darkar.
There are no holes in this theory and is basically canon at this point judging by all the little details told. The only question that is left unanswered is, who defeated the Shadow Phoenix? The original dragon might have not been powerful enough to do it on it's own as we see how Darkar's Shadow magic weakens Bloom. So perhaps an outside source helped, like The Water Stars. After all the Water Stars and Dragon had more of a rivalry, but weren't enemies. Unlike the Shadow Phoenix who really just wanted eternal destruction and darkness. Something neither the Dragon nor the Water Stars would have wanted.
That's a great theory!
It makes sense, and it would probably really helped them finding some notes on a dragon mentioning stuff confirming it and it would be less weird than again an ultimate power
This is brilliant
Watching this I just realized that my entire memory of Winx Club is based on season 3, just that I was somehow convinced that it was really dramatic and high stakes story
It's the season with the highest stakes whatchu mean convinced
When I was a kid, I used to dislike Tecna (she wasn't girly / "pretty" like the other characters) until I saw the episode where she sacrificed herself to save Layla / Aisha's planet and it changed my whole perspective on her. She instantly became my favourite for her bravery, and going forward, I realised I had completely overlooked the cool things about her so I watched Winx Club from the beginning again. She has a TON of depth that I never realised before because I wasn't paying attention to her. There's a big emphasis on the fact that Tecna struggles to show her emotions, but she says herself that she "loses control" more often around her friends, and she can be seen being pretty ruthless in some of the fights to protect them (when Stella was turned into a frog and they were getting chased, Tecna was taking Stella's guards OUT and she had to be told to let up). There have been two points on the entire show (that I'm aware of) where she's cried - one when Bloom, Layla and Stella were going on a mission alone and she was worried, and second when she admitted to Timmy that she loved him ("I really didn't like not liking you, you know?").
Also, what really got me is that when Tecna is missing in the omega dimension, and Timmy is telling the girls about how he feels about her (the device he's built to try to rescue her needs emotional input to find / identify her properly), he says "Tecna isn't just my girlfriend, she's my best friend". I think that speaks volumes about her position in the Winx Club, and it's bittersweet: she isn't truly understood by any of the girls. She'd give her life to save them and did so, but Timmy is closest to her, and he was the only one to refuse to give up on her when she was presumed dead as well. They have a relationship thats unlike anything usually shown in a series like this. She seems like the "boring" character until you rewatch it and pay extra attention to what she's up to. Also, as someone whos 99% probably autistic, I find immense comfort in her and I can relate to her very well. I find social situations to be like a maze, I care so much about my friends but struggle to show it, and I form deep / "exclusive" bonds with like minded people, reaching such a small number I could count them on one hand. I just feel like an alien sometimes, and Tecna is like the "alien" winx. but that is not a bad thing. I feel like a lovely range of personalities are shown in "Winx Club" through the girls, and I'm glad Tecna is there too. ♥
Tecna has a really beautiful (imo) song called Chain Reaction. It's a mix of a love song about Timmy, her love of Technology and how she feels "different":
People just don't understand
My way of feeling's so different
But I don't care
I am proud of who I am
Love is a chain reaction
It starts from an emotion
I see the stars in the sky
I feel their revolution
Give me wires and machines
Electronic energy ultrasounds
And I'll turn them into love
The Universe's a mystery
Supernovas give me a thrill
But nothing's like
Your heartbeat next to mine
I know I have written such a novel on this character in this comment, but I love her to bits! So I wanted to leave this here so that others would see, and maybe give her a chance 💜
Being bi/pan is having a crush on Flora AND her pretty boyfriend at the same time
Did they just say valtor was a bad villia- can someone tag unicorn of war?
Unicorn of war mention yes, they’re my ultimate source on all things Winx club, their rewrites for season 5 and 6 are absolute top tier!
Honestly, I kind of wished Negative Legend watched their videos for more research
@@amandahealey2216Agreed.
He's right in the end Captor didn't come as close to his goals as the Grid or Darker did they were defeated at the very last moment
@@Sproutgoodnight1161 that doesnt make him a bad villian help 😭😭😭
"This is the only way you can earn your Enchantix!" Sure ..
Personally, why could you only earn by saving someone from your home?
I'd make it so Enchantix is earned through great self-sacrifice in general.
@@DrawciaGleam02 most likely to show how much they actually care about their duty to protect their people. I think Unicorn of War explained it better in I think it was the video about Enchantix, which he adores for the unique designs of the outfits to match the girls personalities
@DrawciaGleam02 Techna shows that this is only partly true. She sacrificed herself for her friends and Andros and still got her Enchantix (granted the in-universe explanation is that her action inadvertently saved her home planet of Zenith so it counted).
@@DrawciaGleam02 it sort of makes sense since that transformation grants you the status of fairy guardian of your world. Saving someone from your world shows how committed you are to it and how much you can prioritize your planet and its habitants.
Enchantix was the last time the looks of each girls transformation was a unique style
The way I lowkey freaked when he pulled up the 4 kids dub, this is such an unhinged version of the show I can't believe we get to watch you react to it.
I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention Musa and the music producer guy and how Riven was somehow right but so wrong. Not that surprised though, it was super short.
And about musa's struggle with her dead mom. That episode made me cry back then
I was a fan of Tecna 😭 but mostly because she was no one’s favorite and I related to that lol
The disrespect on season 2 and Tecna is wild
They gotta delete this cz I'll start disrespecting real quick
This video (the beginning, at least) is not a recap of the winx club, but a recap of 4KIDS Winx, which was in a fact a censored version. The rest of the video from season 4 onwards is fine.
15:50 What Tecna said in the original is that she was grateful, but she prefered a gift for her and not her computer huh I hate the 4kids dub
24:10 TRANS MAGIC? WTF? I knew 4kids liked to butcher tv shows and yet I'm still surprised at the amount of nonsense they add
41:10 The ancestral witches were released from their prison in the 1 movie (it was shown in the after credits scene)
43:56 The second movie was supposed to take place between the first movie and season 4, but the animators were mandated to have the Winx in their season 4 designs. That's why Nabu was alive in that movie. Although, if it's the beginning of a new year at Alphea in that movie, would that mean that the season 4 premiere takes place a year after the second movie or did they postpone the first day of school at Alphea?
Continuity error./dubbing issue
I'm surprised there was no comment on how Digit and Tune were replaced despite showing up in a later scene
First! Wynx was literally my favorite show as a kid , if only it didn't fall off later on
19:00 this season was meant to develop the characters- PLUS YOU ARENT WATCHING THE ORIGINAL VERSION
Maybe that's the version they grew up on? I know I did.
@@TheYoungGeninSasuke okay but that dub chaned winx club and its not like the original show
4kids@@TheYoungGeninSasuke
No it's beautiful! The ending for season 1 can represent the ending of depression or insecurities. That entire season Bloom had depression and she became more fearful and more insecure the more times her and her friends were attacked by the Trix, monsters, and kept getting in trouble unjustly. Evrytime the ztrix bully someone they make sure to make them feel vad about themselves as well ie "pathetic earth girl" "riven you still don't understand anything" choking out mirta LITERALLY torturing Bloom to dteal the dragon fire. Attaking Riven and giving him demonic nightmares. (Is this really a kids show?) Even the fruitiness the Trix have is just a mockery to make fairies feel like sex-objects. Which Icy even blatantly says "cute little fairy outfit". Its like a pyschologival thriller almost. Back to Bloom after all of this trauma going from a basic orfinary life was even more difficult because before she thought the magic world would be perfect and even liked witches and was very innocent and optimistic. She became miserable and paranoid and overcoming her fears led to this! Literally defeating your fears and not leaving them to die shows maturity that she hasn't been corrupted even though she was broken. Thanks for Ted Talk 9:02
26:53 "You're parents sae me from across the bar and said 'we dig your vibe' and bought me a drink"
7:18 “I wish someone would use that spell on me “ , no questions asked ok fine by me

Funfact: Bloom and Naruto have the same voice actress in their respective french dubs
One positive to come with a reboot is that they now have a library of lore they can pick and choose from, and because they have characters that were introduced later but with ties to established cast, they can hint to them more organically. In some ways, Darkor is a bigger-scale villain than Valtor, but as they took it season by season, they escalated and then de-escalated somewhat (kind of what happened with Avatar: Legend of Korra, in that its scale and risks went on a rollercoaster), perhaps they now see missed opportunities or bad mistakes and will rectify them, and find a good balance between not being infuriatingly childish like later seasons and not almost insultingly dark-edgy-grownup-wannabe like the live-action tried to be.
I doubt it will happen, but I can hope. Winx Club's first three seasons hold a special place in my heart, as they went in Norway during the last years of my "childhood" where it was easier for me to truly get caught into the fantasy and wish fullfilment, I genuinely wanted to learn and figure out Bloom's mystery and see the girls get powerful and beat evil. By the time season four aired, I had moved on and I would only get bitter watching the changes, both because they were dumb and because I might have realized that I also had changed. I know that was why I was so embittered by the Pretty Cure anime; yes, they changed a lot, but just as much had I changed away from their target demographic, and I did not want to realize and instead got angry at them. So I was happy that I simply had fond memories of the Winx Club in my head, than the reality of what it was and how it became.
I also think Enchantix worked because before then, we did have two seasons with the same outfits, and so it was a bigger breach of status quo to have them one by one change it. When I later heard and realized they changed every season, it didn't feel as empowering, because Enchantix was like a "final form" of fairies, the others didn't work. Bloomix, I feel, was the closest to work, because it was the group losing their powers and Bloom giving a part of the dragon flame to them. I think that change would have been even more powerful if they had gone all the seasons with Enchantix until that point.
So, perhaps I will watch the reboot, if only the first few episodes, to see if I can relive that magic I had, if only a little. I have tried with fanfics, but often I ended up with "fix-it" fanfics where, for me, they encountered the same trouble as with FATE: Winx Saga; by attempting to be more mature, they instead have the characters curse, be easily upset and angsty, kill and in general things are more violent, when what I wanted was perhaps just a cleaner, more consistent and perhaps a bit less melodramatic version of Winx Club, where I could imagine child me watching it but also adult me having an easier time rewatching.
Perhaps I will look for that fanfic again one day.
Until then, thanks for an unhinged trip through memory lane.
I can recommend the "Almost magical" fan-comic, it's still ongoing and is a sequel about the next Winx generation, but is very well written and illustrated and gives the og Winx the respect they deserve
@@evelina2619where can I find it?

go watch ghosts_probably ('s) reboot/rewrite of the show, she does a great job of making the show more coherent
Wait..the planet Domiok was changed to Sparks in the english dub...huh. I didn't know that.
Also Daphne is Bloom's older sister .
This is the 4kids dub, that s why the planet names were changed and Daphne wasn't her sister. In the RAI English dub, it s the same as in the original
Domino
@@Idk-wb1qe Why even? i mean here being a sister is an expaination why she would trust some random stranger ghost.
Why even
I will now insert "EVERYONE KNOWS PEDOS DONT HAVE TOES" into my vocab:)
48:38 bloom gets a necklace and then daphene was like no my sister has a ugly necklace
The pixies were from a spin-off show called Pop Pixies! I loved that show when I was little.
Also cool new hair :)
The spin-off came after their introduction in season 2
1:14:14 its tynix, like tiny = they become tiny so they can enter a mini world or smt idk s7 is weird
they literally couldve done that in enchantix but past is past ig
@@tecnaelettraNo they couldn't. In Tynix they enter a mini world of an object. There is no passage or door in, enchantix mini winx would be of no use
@@domekaii oh 😭
You make one hell of an introduction. This is the first video I've seen from you and you've rizzed a subscription from me in 21 seconds.
30:36 ngl the small Yugi mention already makes me kinda crave for a YuGiOh series recap video (IF you wouldn’t mind and feel pressured)✨👀 one can only hope
1:25:46 - 1:26:19this is the most hilarious description ever lmao I can’t believe this show is real
any mention of riven in this video is really funny to me because i have an oc who's also named riven and they're like the exact opposite of winx club riven
that aside this was a really interesting video to watch since i never had any exposure to winx club until like a couple months to like a year ago
The trix being friends and not sisters is the craziest thing in the entire show
08:09 "Mommy..."
That part made me laugh so hard...like...🤣🤣
"Make fanart of Valtor" NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. I know what the fandom does with Valtor and I do not like it. He's always shipped with Bloom!
When you have a crush on the main villain so you ship them with the main character and then live vicariously through the main character
i was scrolling down looking for this type of comment lol
I think hating the fandom for that is the ONE thing they can agree on EVER
I know some people have a vendetta against the nick dub. But I think they did season 3 pretty well. Tecna’s scream will forever haunt my nightmares. Also Musa’s breakdown in season 3 episode 13. It also still makes me cry! 😢😭😭😭
I like the nick dub I didn't hate it.
@@pinkprincess6136Yay! ☺️😁
I grew up on the nick dub so I could never hate it.
I grew up on the 4kids dub and then mostly Nick so I never hate the nick dub. I really liked Bloom voice actor (Nick Dub).
@@mythical_phoenixAwesome! Molly Quinn I think was Bloom’s nick dub voice actress.
25:30 That neckless turns in to the fairy dust bottle.

Long live seasons 1-3! I hope the Winx Renewal will come out good. Please Rainbow...
I do love that all of them have names themed around their element and then there's Bloom.
1:27:09 Oh man *wheezes*!! The way my laugh quickly sounded like a teapot when you started roasting Season 8 asap with the art style 😂😂🤚🏾
I CANT XD
(definitely gonna binge this from time to time, your sarcasm & commentary overall just never fails to keep me entertained💖💖)
I agree when everyone says season 8 is the worst:
1. The Winx girls literally look the same
2. They whitewashed Aisha and Flora
3. They made Stella’s skin and hair color pale
4. The boys looking like lesbians
5. They gave the girls garbage personalities
6. They ruined Enchantix and Sirenix
7. The storyline doesn’t really makes sense
The only good things about the season are Riven coming back and some of the girls outfits look cute
Agreed the only thing i liked was riven coming back and his entire switch up made no senese in season 6 especially with how super sweet he was in season 5
Honestly,you can't ruin Sirenix,Sirenix itself is a ruin of ugly outfits,also what is wrong with being a lesbian???
"Try to listen to my voice! Your BOYFRIEND!"
"... Huh?" 18:37
The Tecna disrespect hurt, she was my favourite growing up! Even now I fully stand by the fact that Tecna, Musa and Aisha are the better 3, never liked Bloom and Stella and Ig Flora was alright
I have the same three faves as you, but I do like all of them

They not like winx.
Omg, the show I was OBSESSED with as a kid!!! That and Totally Spies!!! 🤩❤️❤️
Watching the 4kids dub is a crime against canon Winx lore
how? i thought the 4kids dub was the only dub
@@axstorm2191There are 3 dubs: 4kids, cinelum and nickelodeon (this ones are like movies but cute a Lot of plot)
4kids is known for changing plot points for no reason and shortening episodes to fit it's time, one of the changes for exeple:
Musa is not a princess, Stella DOES carry her ring around (in the part the video showed she was going on a date and the ring didint Match her outfit so she gave it to Bloom but it was a trap from the witches) amongst other changes
@@SugarD-yx5xi DUDE WTF I ALWAYS THOUGHT 4KIDS WAS CANON LIKE THE CORRECT LORE OMG! & i swear i saw the scene where Stella gave Bloom her ring because it didn’t match her outfit but that was like on the winx website or the dvd i can’t remember. just like i was confused when they didn’t talk about Flora’s home realm & that whole episode & the halloween episode. now idek what’s canon & i’ve been a diehard fan since i was like 6 or 7.
I grew up with it so I'm use to that one
Thanks about to get a tattoo this will be a great distraction for that
16:49 yeah there was an AMV of her with “Angel of Darkness” I’d watch on repeat, looking back, that was DEFINITELY one of my awakenings
I wish I had a shirt like that 0:01
