      Same goes for Winx Club and quality past season 3.

    • @OpticalSorcerer
      @OpticalSorcerer Před rokem +37

      @Will N I personally disliked season 4 for a few reasons, mainly:
      1. Roxy felt like a derivitive of Bloom, specifically how the Wizards wanted how powers like the Trix wanted Bloom. It felt repetitive, and her wings confused me if that's her basic form.
      2. The Wizards' fate was the same as the Trix's in season 2. Again, derivitive.
      3. Visually, Believix felt like a step down from Enchantix, and the requirements for it were super lame. Rather than fixing your insecurities or sacrificing yourself, you have to make someone believe in fairies. Plus it was a group thing rather than individually.
      4. The Wizards were more focused on Earth than anything rather than the magical dimension as a whole. It felt boring to me.
      However, I do agree that when Bloom's arc was concluded after three seasons, they really failed to develop her and the other girls. It would've been nice to see her spend more time in Domino and learn about her family and culture. Going back to Earth after three seasons of magical adventures, while a nice change of pace, gets boring really fast.

    • @OpticalSorcerer
      @OpticalSorcerer Před rokem +1

      @Will N I guess the belief part sounds more...childish, I suppose? It's not as dark as before, and definitely doesn't feel like a season 4 thing---maaybe season 1.
      I don't read the comics consistently, so I wouldn't know about any content like that. As for Believix, I don't think it's comparable to superheroes, who are definitely NOT designed to be highly fashionable (though I do appreciate the ones who wear more than just tights/leotard/spandex).
      And I agree that Roxy could've been Native American--the only thing about that is that NA's (and tribal cultures around the world) are often stereotyped into the nature role, so making her the fairy of animals may be a bit too similar, but that's just me. Flora is inspired by Jennifer Lopez, so it's likely that her race corresponds to mestizo and there is some technical NA representation, though since Latin Americans have carved out a distinct identity, I can see why people would say that doesn't count--and again, the nature stereotype would make that bad, anyway. Roxy also could've been of Pacific Island descent.

      Even when Bloom realizes revenge is wrong, we don't see the process on how she recovers from Valtor. A great example of learning about pain comes from Legend of Korra. In Season 4, we follow along with Korra as she recovers her trauma with the Red Lotus. She relates to Kuvira with the pain she felt and helped her❤.

    Re: the "pure of heart" trope: It doesn't always have to mean that they are without flaw or the chosen one. Sometimes it just means that when push comes to shove, that character will always do the right thing. Case in point, the title character of Sailor Moon is declared to be pure-hearted on multiple occasions (displaying limitless hope, a deep belief in the inherent goodness of people, and being generally unjudgmental), but she has many flaws (she can be incredibly childish, self-centered, and undisciplined).
    So it doesn't necessarily have to be a mark of the chosen one or of a character's moral superiority (though I absolutely agree that this movie uses it in the laziest way possible)

I don’t know how or why they suddenly were close to graduating in season 3 because if we look at the timeline, each season of Winx is technically one school year.

This would of course put the attention towards Aisha and I know what you’re thinking the warrior fairies would crush the Trix, but they have their ways and plot armor surely can be used to their advantage.
    Maybe, this could’ve even been the movie that revived Nabu so that he would be back in the gang and available for season. I don’t know what would happen with Roy but at least the relationship issues the show always brings up would make sense this time, kinda like Musa with Jason Queen…

I would have though in the third Winx Club movie in "The Mystery of the Abyss" that we will finally learn more about Politea's past to why she wanted to betray Daphne in the first place before she too was curse by the ancestral witches but that never happen.
    To be honest I was hoping that Daphne would appear in this movie since she's free from the curse and she would have been very helpful to the Winx in the Infinite Ocean to rescue Sky and confronted Politea once again with Bloom fighting by her side as she reveal to the Winx that Politea was once her friend and a Sirenix fairy before she betrayed her, that would have made the movie better if Daphne had appeared in the first place.

    Oblivion is a pretty bad prison. I don't meant "it's so terrifiying" by saying this. I mean if any prisoner can just break their cell by doing what Bloom did, then oblivion must be pretty bad at keeping them.

    Wait, Politea being released after breaking sirenix curse is actually good idea, it's almost like actions of our bestest Bloom have its consequences. I wish we would have actual conflict between Politea and Daphne. Maybe Politea with her restored freedom would seek revenge on her, maybe by taking away people's powers or by some sort of possession since she's a ghost (seeing one of winx possessed or powerless, like Politea attacking Daphne as Bloom and her being unable to fight back idk).
    I don't like how rainbow incorporated sirenix into Daphne's story but Politea has way more potential than that whiny fish tbh also I wonder what's going on with rest of the nymphs. Since Thomas already brought up Nerissa, it would be cool to see nymphs like we got to see previous guardians. Maybe they also were friends and Politea got crazy with power, or didn't want to be equal with her friends but superior to them? Maybe some parallel with our overpowered Mary Sue?
    PS I didn't know that montage of trix and tritunius dancing existed AND I PREFERRED IT THAT WAY WTF IS THAT also I will never get over how disgusting that cgi is jesus christ, the first movie looks fucking gorgeous in comparison and it's so much older-

    The fact that this movie was released when almost everyone was at the end of their Winx Era is kinda sad though. Instead of releasing a movie that would seal the deal for people in a beautiful way, they released this horrible thing that is probably gonna be the last Winx Film someone was ever gonna watch.
    I was 11 when this dropped and was literally like wtf when the rap part came. Whenever I feel like having a winx throwback I watch the 2 first movies and completely forget the existence of that one. If they kept the 1st movies artstyle it wouldve been better even though the plotline is shit.

    The idea of the film generally is not so bad, I mean it had more potential than the actual season 5. Politea pulling the strings of everyone - being the puppeteer- is cool. Especially if she brainwashed them somehow.
    The Oblivion dimension is awesome, however Bloom saving the day - again, the endless Sky drama, the season 6 uniforms and the reused season 5 scenes dim the light a lot.
    It is also funny, that almost all other characters - especially the background ones - do demon in their olden renderings, while the Winx, the Trix and Tritanus are put into their new ones. 😅
    In conclusion, this film could have been better and the story used in S5.

    Actually, a king/queen can abdicate. You don't have to die on the throne to pass it on. The Dutch King's mother is still alive, and she was the Queen before with his father having been a non-Royal and thus given the title of Prince.
    Though that doesn't makes Winx's writing any less confusing.

He was also spared from terrible writing and whitewashing of fate the Winx saga that’s why they had an entirely new love interest for Aisha in that. Unfortunately he couldn’t save his love Aisha from what would become of the franchise.😢

    Not only did they recycle animation but the animation scene before Bloom breaks free from her green cube, was just a really lazy way to animate.

    One of the biggest fails of this movie is Sky's presence. Sky was made to be the damsel in distress and this doesn't affect his nor Bloom's character arcs or relationship. It should've been Roy who tagged along since Tritannus turned the king and queen (who he directly serves) into his mutant minions and wants to redeem himself of failing to protect them plus he's no stranger to deep sea diving. He could even be the damsel in distress to further his guilt of being useless. This movie was a clear indication of where the show was headed when it sacrificed suited and underused characters for stale romance.

    Think how interesting season 5 would have been if half way through, jellyfish woman attacked Tritanus and the Trix to kidnap Daphne so she can use the throne to beak their shared curse, so now we have a more threatening villain, Tritanus serves a better purpose and in the end, the winx have to deal with two separate villains. It also gives both Bloom and Aisha their own villain and a moment for her to take down her villain whilst Bloom still has the spotlight and the others work on the Trix.

    One thing that doesn’t make sense is that it follow the continuity from the second film. Bloom is proposed and she 18. In this movie the characters have graduated and introducing themselves to freshmen students (they were students again in season 5). But in season 4 they were young adults trying to make sense of the world 🌎. To make matters worse they are wearing their season 6 outfits in a film which revolves around season 5. Daphne should be the star of the show. This timeline is confusing. Have any of you noticed the Specialists being absent for the whole movie 🎥🍿🤔🧐💭💬💬
