    You know what sucks is that in the animated series Bloom was openly adopted. Her dad was a firefighter and found her as a baby in a fire and they took her in. It was a huge plot point that she loved her adopted parents as much as she wanted to learn about her birth family and powers and they were supportive of this. Making parents abusive and erasing a positive adoption narrative is so toxic lmao

      I think these are script change hangovers, she wanted to be a loner because of her uncontrolled powers, her parents try to change that which causes the outburst where she burns her mother but then decided that shgould be the first outburst and reaslisation of her powers, so now the parents need to make her feel that way.

      I think it would be better if they showed that Blooms obsession with her birth parents comes from guilt of hurting her adoptive parents. I think they pushed the plot far too much, ignoring relationships on the way. They shouldn't go further with plot than taking the ring back and spend the additional time on building friendship between the girls.

      I honestly disliked Bloom by the end of the like one of the first scenes. When she was in the wrong place and clearly lost and Skye came over to offer to help her and she was like "I don't need you to mansplain it to me". Like...clearly you need someone to explain things to you because you are in the wrong place and look completely lost. And that's not even what mansplaining is. She talks like an Angry Twitter user. And from then on she just seemed to get worse and worse. Being rude to basically anyone who tried to help her. And while I can see her parents being controlling, her trying to convince her father that her mother was crazy was so concerning.

    I’m adopted and the one thing I’ve always hated in shows with the whole adopted storyline is always the “I have to find my real parents”/“I don’t know who I am without them”. I’ll tell you who you are without, the exact same person you were before. I have never called my biological mom my real mom. My (adopted) mom is my real mom and she’s the one who helped me find myself and teach me about life/morals. You don’t suddenly learn all of that by meeting your “real” mom. I could never relate to any adoption story on TV because of that. It was genuinely so frustrating and I always felt bad for my mom, when adoptive parents are never referred to as “real” parents .

    • @frogradar
      @frogradar Před 3 lety +521

      Adoption storylines in shows are always so fucking "nuclear family" positive.
      The adopted child finds out they are adopted and all of a sudden disown the adopted parents to search out the parents who gave them up and it always goes one of two ways
      "I was just not ready for a child, but I am now"
      "I was made to give you up, for your own protection"
      and then the Biological parents just overtake the parenting.
      It's such a shit thing for the adoptive parents because they are essentially told "actually you aren't good enough I need to find my REAL parents lol bye" and then the show reinforces this.

    • @mksabourinable
      @mksabourinable Před 3 lety +511

      Hell even in the original show Bloom knew she was adopted the whole time, she only seeks out her birth heritage bc it's relevant to her powers, and she needs to learn more about that shite to fight the bad guys. Before she even embarks on that quest tho she talks about it with her parents and expresses guilt about wanting to know more about where she comes from.
      Like her parents in the original show are awesome, super caring, wholesome, supportive, a bit dorky, but yea! Her mom owns a plant store, her dad's a firefighter - who found her in a fire as a baby, completely unharmed, which was weird as hell to him, AND HONESTLY MORE FUCKING COMPELLING.
      Like why not start the show with a bunch of firefighters fighting a fire and then one of em hearing a baby crying, investigating, getting the baby, then the second she's in his arms the fire goes out - LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CARTOON. Like that adds mystery and intrigue! (The way it happened in the cartoon didn't as much bc it was revealed in a flashback well after Bloom figured out a lot about her powers already, but hey! There's a good way to age it up! Fucks sakes.)
      Like in the cartoon her pursuing her birth heritage is bc the evil witches have like... Stolen the dragon fire I think at that point and are taking over the world, so she needs to learn more about it and where she comes from in order to fight and stop them! She still assures her parents that she loves them and couldn't have asked for better parents, etc, etc. Like it's VERY adoption positive fucks sakes.

      The first series of Digimon handled this aspect better than this....THING. It's revealed that Izzy is adopted but his distance from his adoptive parents aren't because 'I want to find my real parents'. No, Izzy finds out by accident that his parents are killed and overhears his adoptive parents arguing over when to tell him the truth but from Izzzy's POV, it comes off as if they're arguing over this because HE'S the problem. Only near the end does he find out the truth in that they DID have a baby but he died and when Izzy's parents died, they were the only remaining relatives but they still loved him and they were just concerned. And Izzy loves his parents but just didn't know what to do when he found out. He was MUCH younger than Bloom but even that was better than...this.

It was always the “My fake parents didn’t tell me I was adopted, now I hate them so I’m going to ignore and disrespect them (maybe put them into harms way) then I’m gonna go find my real mommy/daddy because they would never lie to me” trope. Everything was so negative about being adopted! Every adoption story was just those aren’t your real parents, you can only know who you are if you’re blood related. Your fake parents may say they love you but they can never reallllly understand you, only your blood family can do that, even if they’re homicidal maniacs/evil then you’ll just be alone and misunderstood forever.

They changed Musa's ethnicity, they white washed Flora (there is evidence of the original script using Flora in it, so they clearly just added flora as a family member of Terra to not get backlash), they turned Aisha into ANOTHER generic black side kick and even VILLAINIZED HER for being SMART?, turned Bloom into even MORE of a brat who constantly belittles others ESPECIALLY Aisha, and Stella got turned into a generic blonde bully who only dresses the way she does because it's forced upon her by society. And tecna is dead.
    It was honestly so tiring to see how everyone turned into such a generic trope. They even turned Bloom and Stella into love rivals?! Stella was also the one who was blooms closest friend trying to help her out in the actual winx, but they used Aisha for that in this show and turned her into another character used only for Bloom getting rid of everything that Aisha was in the original winx. I also know how some people were excited for Terra as she is plussize, but they turned her into another plussize girl who has anxiety and belittles herself constantly and at some point was even begging people to belittle her clothing style when Stella wasn't there?!
    Then we also find out bloom and her mom have an awful relationship, and so does Stella with her mom, both of which never happened, but okay. But then we find out bloom almost killed her mother because of their bad relationship?! and then she was just the most entitled brat ever imaginable and never got likable.
    It's also hilarious to me that they turned the trix into ''Beatrix'', yet Beatrix was portrayed as less of a bitch then Stella to me. I kept asking my friend who the hell is supposed to be the evil person here, because Beatrix her impact imo wasn't that great in the show AT ALL.
    Also, like you said, Bloom suddenly being able to do a half transformation without ever even having learned how to control her power was just ridiculous. It also wasn't even a transformation, and was very badly done.
    Like I told my friend, if they wanted a show based off of winx club, but change everyone's personality, white wash some people, remove others, using generic tropes and even change the setting of the world with things like ''transformations are ancient magic'' or whatever, they could've easily done that and just NOT called it winx club. Why not say its a continuation of the winx world? Thousands of years later, which would also give them all the freedom they need. But no, they wanted the hype of the brand Winx Club and turned it into the opposite of the original winx.
    I have heard some people say that the show is good if you just forget that its based on winx, but even then the show imo is not good at all because it's just a billion tropes thrown together in the worst way. Stella suddenly became a good person, when she never had proper character growth. Bloom never was likable even though she's the main character. Aisha was likable and smart but then got villainized and was just a prop to bloom. Musa was decent but didn't have that much screentime or effect on much and Terra was another plussize shy girl who hates herself and begs for people to belittle her. All whilst combined with Stella and bloom being love rivals, abusive households, bad relationship with parents and over sexualizing 16y old teens whilst not allowing them to wear actual nice clothes like every teen show on netflix. It has enough problematic elements even without the association with the original winx, and if you add that association which people should because that's what the show writers decided to do, it's just horrible.

      I wish it had stayed true to the comics (the new ones, not the original ones), but I still think it has redeeming qualities: it's an entertaining show, with good aesthetics, good soundtrack and a good cast, especially Kiernan as Sabrina. Definitely the best season is S1. The second is good too but in the third you can see the lack of direction and the fourth is just a great exaggeration but I really liked the decision they made at the end, quite risky but realistic.

      There is a french TV serie called "Joséphine ange gardien" (Josephine the guardian angel). It's basically about a guardian angel who is sent on Earth to guide humans who have problems (She calls them her clients). It's quite a popular serie, the show has been going on for more than ten years, and each episode is one and a half hour long. To blend in her clients' lives, she typically comes in as the new coworker or the new neighbour, like for example in one episode she has to help a tango teacher and she gets hired as a musician. The thing is, the actors who plays Joséphine has dwarfism. This was adressed in the first episode, but after that it's never adressed. Josephine is hired as a broadway dancer and singer in one episode and nobody bats an eye about her height even though she will be on stage in the show, she also gets hired as a photograph, barmaid, fashion designer, etc. The word "short" or "small" or "dwarf" is simply not used in relation to her ever in the serie. I wish movies could do that more often.

    I laughed when Bloom said she didn't want Sky to "mansplain" when he was trying to give her directions and help her out. Helping someone, who is new and visibly looks like they are lost, isn't mansplaining; it's just regular explaining. I think the writers added it in for budget feminism. Mansplaining is "the explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing". I never saw giving directions to a lost person in the definition. I have been the new girl before and no one helped me; I would have been happy for any help back when I was in school.

    Summary:
    Overall, this series would probably be a lot less upsetting if they just used new characters and didn't try to represent the original ones at all. We (those who grew up with the original) all just want nostalgia, we want cute 2000s outfits and glitter, the magic of friendship, *_SWEETHEART HUNK SKY_*. I don't want to see a show I loved become so dark, so unrecognizable, and I feel that others agree. This show hurts worse because they mangled lovable characters from our childhood.
    Discussion:
    I seriously can't finish this video, it is upsetting me and _ALL_ the homegirls. Not only did they decide to do the typical "make this super dark for no reason" thing Netflix likes to do, it messed up *SO* much. You're right, this is like a Winx fanfic. Except it's written by guys who wanted to make a "I'm not like other girls" Bloom. I would've liked it better had they made a new set of characters that weren't the Winx. Maybe kids of the Winx, a different group, whatever, just not the originals, half of which aren't represented.
    Musa, a "mind fairy"? Why didn't they just keep her with music, and they didn't even make her Asian! They should've just made her someone else, not Musa, that's _not_ Musa. Aisha's become the token black character, I see. Not like she was a fun, vibrant princess who loved anything athletic and was always friendly and loved, I guess that was in my imagination. Terra.....Terra....so they did do the "make a new character" thing, and that would've been fine had they not made her an "earth fairy", so similar to her "cousin" Flora, and...WHITE! They removed a beloved character of the series to replace her with less representation. They could've just cut her tie to Flora completely and made her Latina, like Flora, since she's a replacement. Stella's now the token bitchy rich white girl, which I hate so much. Stella wasn't like that at all, she _was_ spoiled, and _was_ a princessey type girl, because she's a princess, but she was really sweet too. She wouldn't fight over Bloom for Sky, she'd fit her in the best clothes and makeup to help her get him. Techna....sis is dead, they murked her and she was for the nerds, RIP, we lost a good one. Bloom, she's a y/n. A "I wake up in the afternoon in a sweatshirt and sweatpants, lace up my Converse, wear my jeans and plain shirt, because I'm not like other girls" y/n. They piled on the teen angst with her, when Bloom was a really nice character, she loved her parents (her parents were so supportive, too), regardless of being adopted and _SHE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH STELLA_. They really should've made this character not Bloom, they should've made all of them not our Winx.
    Don't even get me started on the Specialists. Sky was one of my first cartoon crushes, and he was such a sweetheart. A surfer guy! A hunk with a heart of gold! He would never be....whatever he is now. Do they even _HAVE_ Brandon? The best part of Winx Club was them switching Sky with Brandon, where Stella and Bloom fell in love with their respective guys under false identities. Riven....idk, I actually don't remember too much about Riven, but he was the king of toxicity, so maybe these dumbos got that one right.

      Riven was a jerk, but a different kind of jerk, I would say. In the original, his toxicity came from his "everything has to be my way" attitude and his tendency to reject other peoples help and unnecessarily getting into risky situations (to look like a hero I guess?). So while they did get the toxicity part right, they made him toxic for entirely different reasons than they should have. Also they left out his "redemption arc" (idk any better term).

And it's not 'mature' unless you put a dark gritty filter over it, how else will people know it's not for kids!

And when she learnt about her birth parents and found them they and her adoptive parents were very kind to eachother altho a bit awkward?
    in the movie they even have a scene where adoptive parents show her birth parents videos of Bloom growing up and now Bloom just has two pairs of parents she loves both equally and its very adorable and strangely mature for a kids show about fairies.

      HOWEVER, as a adaptation it’s fucking terrible. Nothing about this reminds me of the WINX. The WINX was amazing due to its whimsical nature. They could’ve easily did an aesthetic some what similar to euphoria (though I’d prefer they went all out with Yk2 style, fairy lights etc) it would’ve reigned more true to WINX.

    As a teenager (16, American) this doesn’t appeal to me at all. I watched some of the original Winx Club when I was little and I really liked it! And I’m a dude! So when I heard the sentence “weird marijuana threesome” and the near sex scenes I was like “whatith the fuckith”. Teens still need shows that focus on friendship and tackles those sorts of relationships with nuance. All of these dark and edgy shit storms are repetitive, and while many of us are into darker topics (myself included; I’m writing a book that deals with teen drug abuse and trauma), I’m not doing it to be edgy. You can tell the difference in a work of media. One is being up points, the other is to be flashy (maybe don’t normalize heavy drug abuse and isolation???).
    I don’t particularly enjoy being pandered to. It feels like these shows are trying to be peacocks in angsty eyeliner. This is just my lukewarm take.

    When I was watching the show I kept asking to myself like "When are they gonna bring up the dragon flame?" because that was a huge plot point for Bloom. So in the OG, when the earth was created it was done by the Dragon Flame, being the most powerful magic form to exist. When the creator dragon disappeared it left little amber pieces and with that much magic anything was possible. So a 3 Witch group called the Ancestrial Witches wanted the flame for themselves. When Bloom was a baby Thr Ancestrial Witches tried to kidnap her and take her powers for themselves. Btw Bloom is the last surviving heir of somewhere( I can't remember). So she is a Princess. When she was a baby whrn the witches were trying to kidnap her, her older sister Princess Daphne protected her from the witches and sent her on earth. That's where her parents find her. Her dad is a firefighter and in one of the fires he was trying to stop he saw a baby who wasn't affected by the flames at all. And she is openly adopted.

    I had similar thoughts, especially why Rosalind didn't tell them that the city was filled with blood witches if blood witches are so bad. The thing I hated most was the whole adoption attitude. I am so tired of these shows where someone finds out they are adopted and then immediately says the people who raised them are not their real parents and they have to find the "real" ones. I am adopted and this kind of troupe just makes it harder to explain to people that my parents are my parents and the teenagers who were dumb and created me are basically strangers to me. i get that they used it as motivation for Bloom's story but it could have been written as finding more about her powers and not about her "real" parents.

    Riven was one of my favorite characters (although I kinda loved all of them) and he had a will they won't they with Musa and was then hexed by Darcy to begin to hate Musa and fall for Darcy. I remember that being a really strong narrative as a kid because Riven had always been angsty and stuff but he was never a real jerk until he began to believe he could only trust Darcy and then when he went to her for just some genuine affection, she laughed in his face. Then when he was back Musa didn't just forgive him, he had to earn forgiveness and still take responsibility for how he treated her.
