i'm so happy that disney finally has translated the rest of the series in graphic novel form (in burgerland we only got the first 16 chapters in graphic novel and the first 26 in chapter book form which was boring!) and i think they're almost done. if you think it looks interesting and want to read it you should.
i feel like i might re-watch the w.i.t.c.h. animated series again soon but i always remember as a kid the comics were much more interesting and nicer to look at. the tv show looked very dull color-wise and it was so different from the comics, and i liked the story in the comics a lot more.

>favorite/least favorite heroes
My fave winx character is Musa and for witch it's Irma. My least favorite are Stella and Taranee. Stella because as a child I thought she was to rude and self centered. And with Taranee I just really dislike her hair with her transformation. Wish she would have something cute like pic related.
>favorite/least favorite villains
Nerissa is my fave because she was just so scary to me as a child, for Winx I guess jsut the Trix because I thought they were cool. Witch has a few minor villains that are not that great but has been to much of a long time to remember which one i hated the most kek. hate the wizard guys from winx tho
>favorite/least favorite story arcs or seasons
winx club season 3, witch arc 1 is still the best even though i liked Nerissa as a villain a lot.
>plotlines that don't make sense or leave you with questions
Wtf happened to the Pixies, why the hell are there suddenly fairies on earth. Why do the winx girls sometimes use transformations that make no sense in the current battle they are in.
>side characters you wish we saw more of
Mirta and Elyon
>discuss cool or stupid transformations or powers
I know looking back that Enchantix was maybe not appropriate for young girl because it shows to much skin but i still think it's the pretties transformation
>merchandise you have or want
I want heart of kandrakar necklace tbh
>how and why winx club went to shit after season 3
It was a stupid idea to go to earth because that i just boring, removing the pixies and replacing them with annoying animals was also dumb. And the whole retcon with the earth fairies was also silly

>>341267season 4 of winx was such a let down! first of all at the beginning of season 3 Faragonda is all "enchantix is a super big deal guys its a fairy's penultimate form" so i was like wtf is this belivix shit. and going to earth? that was such a stupid boring setting, magix was much cooler because it's literally a magical fantasy setting and it was like they totally threw that out of the window. and don't get me started on how s4 was when they started being shitty and bland with character design.
the first arc of w.i.t.c.h. is special to me too. picrel was my introduction to it, picked it up at a school book fair because it looked so interesting and it was. i always was taken to another world looking at all the beautiful art.
when i found out i could read translated scans online the ragorlang arc was so cool and mysterious to me and it still is!

The art in witch is indeed so beautiful, my sister was like subscribed to like the comics or something? I remember that she got a new issue maybe like weekly. But since she was missing some she also bought like these huge bundles together, but i like the separate issues more because the cover art was always so nice!
>>341282I'm glad you are able to validate my feelings about enchantix still being the best transformation. I saw a lot of discourse around it being to skimpy for teenage girls online. But like you said, this was so much for the female gaze, and the way how the girls were drawn it didn't feel sexualized at all. What do you think of the enchantix "remake" outfits?

To be honest I wasn't aware of the remake outfits. I'm more bothered by the new artstyle than anything. There's something very offputting about their faces. Aside from some colour choices I don't mind the new outfits. They're not as cute or fun as the old ones but they're fine.

I remember that even on lolcow people were saying that winx club was full of fetish stuff and inappropiate outfits.
>Aside from some colour choices I don't mind the new outfits. They're not as cute or fun as the old ones but they're fine.Idk it's not just the color for me, it also look just messy because they added more clothing parts and weird extra details/accessoires, it looks messy.

>>341213>favorite/least favorite heroesTecna and Flora. Bloom was my least favorite during season 3 for the disproportionate amount of focus on her.
>favorite/least favorite villainsDarcy. All the Trix are fun. I really liked Darkar for some reason (probably because of Dark Bloom, I wish Dark Bloom was around longer/more) and found Valtor lame in comparison. I liked Diaspro too somehow, probably because Sky was such a douchebag towards her at the start and I felt bad for her, plus she was pretty.
>favorite/least favorite story arcs or seasonsSeasons 1 and 2 are good. Season 3 was a mixed bag, it had some good ideas like the Stella mini arc and Tecna being trapped on the prison planet but the Trix were made into complete jokes to make Valtor a threat and I hated it.
>side characters you wish we saw more ofI thought post season 1 Mirta would join the cast and that kind of didn't happen for some reason. It was weird, it was like they were setting up for it but it just didn't happen and she was barely mentioned afterwards.
>discuss cool or stupid transformations or powersEverything up to season 3 was good, though Tecna getting Enchantix not saving someone from her own planet was lame and so was Bloom brute forcing one. She shouldn't have gotten one until the movie, it could have been a big triumphant moment for her to finally achieve Enchantix instead of pulling it out of her ass and contradicting the lore.
>memories you have surrounding these seriesStormy's pretty girl transformation just sticks with me for some reason. It's not particularly good in hindsight but for some reason I just remember it.
The other one is all the Blingee edits that would go around of the Winx. I loved finding new official art with animated sparkles added.
>opinions on the winx club dubs4kids dub had decent voice work but unnecessary censorship. Singapore dub was bad quality but uncensored so I ended up watching it after the 4kids version and kept with it. Nickdub = garbage.
>how and why winx club went to shit after season 3Nickelodeon ruined everything. I like the idea of a mermaid arc and justifying a transformation after Enchantix that way but it's post season 3 so of course it sucked. Earth arc was a stupid idea to begin with and the show was already fine for young girls, it didn't need to become infantile.

>>341213>favorite/least favorite heroesWinx: Bloom, Stella, Musa, and Tecna. I don't care for Aisha that much but I love her backstory. Flora is my least favorite because she has 0 development or arcs outside of caring for her sister, and Helia related drama.
W.i.t.c.h.: Cornelia, Haylin and Taranee. I dislike Irma because she's too insecure and smug and lets it out on Cornelia. Will is alright, always found her cool and wanted to be her as a kid, even wanted her hair and the kandrakar heart, but hated her boyfriend drama so much, and especially in the comics.
>favorite/least favorite villainsWinx: the wizards of the black circle are super cool to me. I love that they are a team that actually cares about each other and feel like friends, and how they were capable of genociding earth fairies. I like Valtor and the Trix as well. Darkar is the most boring though. He wasn't that strong for a literal god.
W.i.t.c.h.: Nerissa ofcourse, I love her angsty story. Least favorite is probably the woman who kidnaps girls to steal their youth.
>favorite/least favorite story arcs or seasonsWinx: s3, s4, s5 and s7 are my favorite. S1 is a good introduction and I love the finale. S6 is ok, but s2 is the most boring imo with the biggest nonsensical plot. Pixies are annoying and uselessa and Darkar was too weak for a god. I like gloomix, Aisha's introduction and arc, hallowinx, the hot himbo that is Avalon, and Palladium's design change, though.
W.i.t.c.h.: the veil portals and meridian arc, the Nerissa arc, and the oracle getting voted out and Taranee leaving the group arc. She was so bold for that I loved it, she told it as it is, and Orube was a nice addition to the group, her and Cedric's relationship was cute and tragic. The rest of the arcs I genuinely don't remember anything of.
>in-universe settings that are aesthetically pleasingAll of them
>plotlines that don't make sense or leave you with questionsWinx: Bloom's inner dragon arc from s3. Wtf was that? That's genuinely more childish than anything from the nick era or s7 and s8 lmao. The time inconsistencies about when was domino destroyed and when were the earth fairies genocided.
W.i.t.c.h.: Will seeing her feature as a broke loser because…..she broke up with her boyfriend? Did I remember that correctly? If so why tf did that happen.
>fan theoriesIdk about W.i.t.c.h., but winx has a lot that are very cool. Forgot them all though, sorry for being grandma brained.
>side characters you wish we saw more ofWinx: Roxy and Mirta. Avalon as well. Galatea! Thoren, too.
W.i.t.c.h.: Orube.
>discuss cool or stupid transformations or powersWinx: I love Bloomix, very beautiful designs regardless of how weak it was, and enchantix is my favorite despite fans being annoying about it lol. Butterflix is adorable I love it. Cosmix, tynix, Dreamix, onyrix, sirenix, Harmonix, mythix are all cool. I'm 50/50 about believix, I get what they were trying to do with it but it's kinda ugly, too disney setcom fashion for me. Lovix and sophix are beautiful though.
W.i.t.c.h.: I prefer the og transformation more, but the evolved one isn't that bad. I like Will's haircut but wish she had a shirt on top of high waist pants with a curved cut instead of a one piece. Taranee looks slightly better in the evolved version but both her transformation were ugly. Cornelia and Haylin have the best evolutions.
>merchandise you have or wantWinx: bought 3 shirts already. But would love to cosplay as either Flora or Bloom. Or even make my own transformation.
W.i.t.c.h.: bought the heart of kandrakar. But I want a W.i.t.c.h. shirt and maybe cosplay as Will or Irma despite not liking her, because her outfit and looks are close to my style.
(Already mentioned what I bought upthread.)
>fanartIt's a mixed bag. I LOVE crossover fan art of the two franchises, I'll share the stuff I like off deviantart later. I love the creativity of the winx fandom and their OCs and the transformation ideas they come up with a lot! And I love westaboo W.i.t.c.h. fan art a lot. There's some nice stuff of W.i.t.c.h. on deviantart as well. But I hate the race/skin color sperging in the winx club fan arts a lot. They make Stella dark, make Aisha coal black with equally dark facial features that she's invisible, make Flora Aisha's actual skin tone, make Musa look like a kpop idol and too washed out etc. They also make Tecna troonish sometimes or make one of the girls fat. I hate it.
>character or world designs you love or hateWinx: I love all designs of all worlds and characters except Andros. Why is it one castle on land with a yellow sky lmao. I also hate Aisha's enchantix, sorry.
W.i.t.c.h.: I love Kandrakar the most, it's so magical. I love all characters' designs.
>memories you have surrounding these seriesGrew up with W.i.t.c.h., always wanted to be Will, and I'd take my baby sister's at the time shaky toy because they were round and tie a string around it to wear it as the heart of kandrakar kek, and play pretend that I'm leading the team to save the world. Only discovered winx club last around 2 years ago though and loved all of it. I grew up with poppixie though.
>opinions on the winx club dubsRai is my favorite, best voices, matches the characters' personalities and ages perfectly. Nick comes next because of the good acting. 4kids sucks, too exaggerated and annoying. The s7 and s8 and world of winx ones are alright.
>how and why winx club went to shit after season 3It didn't lol. As my current favorite winx youtuber said, s3 was op because it was supposed to be the end of winx club, so they poured their all into it. Then they got the chance to produce more winx club and they decide to explore new ideas. I love thay they did all the things I wanted to see in s4 to s8. Tecna's world? Check, more of each girl's world? Check, some if minimum Roxy appreciation and the introduction of a new member? Check, Daphne finally getting saved too just like her parents? Check. Water themed, light themed, nature themed, and dragon flame themed transformations? Check. And so many other stuff I forgot.
lastly… for autistic fun
>if you could be in either universe where would you fit in? what would your powers be? who would you have an alliance with?Both. In winx club I'd be the fairy of singing because I said so. Idc that Musa exists. If a fairy of melody can exist, then a fairy of singing can. I'd have mind controlling and emotional manipulation powers using songs, like a siren or Amber McClain from danny phantom. But use it for good ofcourse, and be an idol in the magix realm. In W.i.t.c.h. I'd have sound waves powers because it's more of a "natural" element. And I'd use sound waves to shake and move things or scream to deaf my enemies. I'd be an occasional friend of Musa and hang out and get along with the winx and help them occasionally. And I'd help the W.i.t.c.h. as well with any mission they need me for. I'd go to the same school as them or be a "cool" music teacher who tries to guide them.
>discuss ships plsWinx: I like Bloom x Sky for the royal aesthetic, fairy princess x prince charming that she always saves kek. But I hate their drama so much. I was on Diaspro's side at first because she was wronged big time but she turned into the crazy ex quickly. I hate Musa x Riven except in s8 because they actually fix everything. I don't care for Nabu x Aisha, he was a cool character but stalking her to later date her was weird, especially that they are an arranged marriage essentially and they full in love, making it seem like arranged marriage is alright??? Flora x Helia is boring. Tecna x Timmy are cute and so are Stella x Brandon. Icy x Tritanus was sweet idc what anyone says. Avalon x Palladium should've been a thing. And I'm convinced Mirta x Lucy is canon.
W.i.t.c.h.: Peter x Cornelia is the best. They're cute together despite the age gap, not that big but it's still weird he's in college while she's still in highschool. Will x Matt in the animated show is super cute, but the comics Matt is annoying and deserves the worst, I wish they broke up. Taranee wasn't that lucky with love and I prefer her single. Haylin x that boy with the blue hair forgot his name was cute but for some reason forgotten? Irma x that blonde guy is meh I guess. Orube x Cedric was bittersweet, I was weirded out by it at first but warmed up to it because of his death scene.

>>341850im the early seasons purist and i've never been in any fan spaces for WC and i'm genuinely shocked that i have the unpopular opinion here. not mad bc its a tv show and i'm not that autistic. i honestly didnt even know there were adult fans of WC that wasnt based on nostalgia. i rewatch the first three seasons often (i am right now as i type this), zero desire to watch anything past 3. i did watch s4 when it got put on youtube subtitled in english and it was an absolute disappointment, i was probably 11 so it's not like i was too old to enjoy it, i would always come home from school and go on 4kids website to watch WC and ojamajo doremi. my biggest pet peeve with s5-onward is the fucking flash animation. how can anyone watch it, its like the junk food of animation. it is so lazy because the animation functions the exact same way the yt channels churning out the elsa/spiderman type videos do, as they use flash animation because it's faster. i literally cannot watch flash animation shows the same way i cant watch newer anime that uses too much cgi. all the movements are so stilted and awful, when all characters move the same it takes away from their personality. i would be open to watching newer seasons if the art style and animation weren't the way it is. if a cartoon has zero artistic quality to it it's unwatchable. also they're doing too much with all the fashion and accessories, in the earlier seasons it was very "less is more", it was simple and worked so well, this is why enchantix was so striking and special to fans who watched it at the time, you could tell enchantix was important because it was so different to any other fashion we saw in the show. it looks like now they keep adding unnecessary details and make everything too glittery, it crowds the mind and is overwhelming. i'm not saying newer fans have trash taste or shitting on them, this is just my opinion.

the comics are currently being re-released as hardcover editions in germany. vol 1-6 are out already and you can preorder up to vol 10. the first volume also included interviews with the original editors of the german witch magazine and it was so exciting to read about it. all these women were so excited about witch and about producing a comic magazine for girls. i absolutely loved the magazine back then and i always wanted to have my own witch circle of friends. unfortunately nothing ever came out of my attempts at finding a penpal kek.

I don't mind the new casual clothes designs for the most part but I hate how Bloom and Stella are so pink now. Also Aisha and Stella should have their old haircuts back.

Cool video I just finished watching. I recommend this channel for any winx club fan. She has some W.I.T.C.H. videos as well but they're minimal.
>>342133That's fair and true, but my gripe with the hate is that they hate it for really miniscule hyperspecific reasons and refuse to give it a chance and pretend it's objectively bad, when in reality it's a slightly above average cartoon at the end of the day. S4-s8 +WoW that is. The fans keep demanding and wihsing certain things happened when these things already did in the seasons they refuse to watch lmao. I was like them until I decided to stop listening to the herd's opinion and give it a shot with 0 bias and judge it myself, and I found myself enjoying it, sometimes more than the og seasons even. The pacing and overall structure of episodes is better in s5-s8. And each seasons has 1-2 episodes for each girl to shine, except s6 I think, and I don't 100% remember if s8 did that tbh. But s5 gave each girl an episode where she saves the day in harmonix form, and episode in sirenix form. There was also the quest thing in s5 which was an interesting new way to gain a transformation with a time limit. And s7 where they were gifted a transformation by nature for saving it. And many other creative ideas. S5 had an arc about Stella's parents making up, not remarrying, but agreeing to at least work together as royals and not argue in front of their daughter. And I personally love that Daphne was returned in s5 and got married in s6 and had a happy life, she deserves it. Sorry for being a sperg lmao I love everything winx club.

>>341909>Coming in 2025Oh wow that is such a long time, I hope they improve the outfits that they are wearing. I only like Musa and Techna new outfits.
>>342131I don; t think think the outfit that Bloom is wearing is cute, but also that's subjective. I think people's biggest complaint about the new clothing is that the girls often wear the same outfits but only in different colors or very small differences. They can have cool ideas, but it's the execution of these ideas thats important. There is nothing wrong with like the later seasons, it's just a matter of different opinions.

>>342164He does but once you watch his videos he's actually normal and not creepy about the show in anyway. He's genuinely in it for the plot and powers lol, as I said, he's just autistic, like genuinely autistic, but that's me armchair analyzing though. I personally dislike Lisa's videos, she's very smug about her opinions and has a superiority complex over not liking the new seasons which unfortunately spread in the fandom like wild fire, I see hers and unicorn of war's (who's miles worse than her) opinions being parroted all the time by fans who never bothered to watch the new seasons and it drives me insane.
I personally find the animals cute, except maybe Aisha's animal because he's supposed to be prehistoric but it's not obvious what species he is? The others have actual species and are animals that fit each girl's power and personality. I think they look gorgeous fully transformed and adorable in their normal form, picrel. That concept art is from a location in s7, specifically alfea's miniworld which is the heart of the school.
Lastly, I believe these outfits are super cute, they're vintage alfea school uniforms and I love the way it looks. I don't mind the girls matching, they're a team after all. And I guess it's easier to animate? Idk. My theory about this is they were trying to copy kpop groups from the era who used to dress up matchy matchy, especially girls' generation because they reference them in s6 and the fashion sometimes is similar to theirs. Might compile some collages with similar fashion later on. They also reference some group called rainbow in a dance for the butterflix transformation sequence and I think it's cute despite not knowing the group or song.

>>342164Samefagging because I forgot to reply to your dreamix comment, I disagree about the similar looks, minus the facial features, I think the outfits of dreamix have different variants of the things added on top of the one piece suit, even the cuts and sleeves are different, the hair styles are different, and the wings ar different shapes and colors, but they have a similar theme overall and the wings are glassy/have a watercolor layered look and I think that's beautiful. I personally find WoW and fairy couture official art fashion very appealing, it's so fashionable and mature with extreme 2010s influence but it's nostalgic.

i have a question. so we know that avalon wasn't the real avalon… he was stuck in the underrealm for most of the second season. BUT while bloom, stella, and layla are fighting the trix avalon or "avalon" saves them. then he starts teaching at alfea a few episodes later. so is the winged paladin that saves them the real avalon or the fake avalon? because the imposter was sent by lord darkar. like is there any way to know if the avalon that saved the winx girls in the underrealm initially the real one before getting imprisoned or was the real one already imprisoned by then and was he the imposter?

>>341679>>341682>>342131>>342186>>342193>>342197I get that you like the fashion, but it's completely different from the fashion in seasons 1-3 so it's not a compelling argument to people who dislike later seasons.
For me personally, it's all way too bright, pink and cluttered. It feels way more childlike too, as if they started to target younger and younger audiences as the show went on. They're all wearing the exact same styles too
>>341916 In picrel you can see that each girl has a distinct style that matches her personality and is color coded.
>Bloom's is the girl next door>Musa's is the cool girl (although her season 1 design conveys is better)>Flora's is romantic>Stella's is the fashionista>Tecna's is techwear and minimalist>Aisha's is sportyEach design immediately tells you something about the character which is not the case with later designs. I also dislike how they made Musa more girly as the seasons went on, she the slightly more tomboyish of the group and was a little edgy. Meanwhile the new designs have so much going on it gives me a headache, there's so much unnecessary detail.
But then again, it's a subjective opinion whether you like it or not, I dislike 2010s fashion so this is not appealing to me. However, I still stand by the fact that the old designs are better designed because they're distinct and memorable and communicate a lot.
And no, I don't watch any Winx youtubers or participate in the 'fandom' lol. I also have an upopular opinion that Enchantix looks worse than the OG transformations which are the best imo because, once again, they're simple yet distinct and uniform at the same time so you can see they're part of the same unit. I like the transformation sequence though same with Believix, though I don't like the designs all that much. Tbh the Believix transformation is better animated + Aisha actually gets a full sequence instead of the scraps she got with Enchantix.
>>341561 One last thing, something I really liked the early seasons did was the more outlandish fashions with a more alien/futuristic feel because they highlighted the otherworldness of Magix.

>>342418I personally prefer girly Musa lol, she was kinda annoying, mean and rude when she was edgier/tomboyish. She looks better in the girly style. I don't see how Bloomix designs or WoW dresses are too childish though, the former depicts them as warriors and the latter depicts them as celebrities and is a very adult style, but I understand not liking 2010s fashion. I think the individuality is still there, just in more subtle ways. Picrel is a good example of an adult outfit design with disco suits and some see through risqué fabic cuts, amd each cut in each girl represents something about her. Flora's looks like grass, Stella's has a golden outline and looks like sunshine while her suit is silver blue to represent both moon and sun powers, Asian has flowy round patterns as she always do to represent morphix and fluids, Tecna has diamond patterns as she always do to represents tech and math/geometry, but I admit I don't know wtf is going on with Musa and Bloom lol.

>>342423>>342186My problem is that they all share the same silhouette. Like sure they still have different colors (even though they started using a lot more pink for most of the girls), and sometimes theh have tiny different accessories. But the silhouettes are all so much the same, imagine if in season 1 techna had the same silhouette as bloom. It would not make sense because she is a fairy of technology and also from a totally different planet. I also like the designs of enchantix so much becauze the outfits and wings are so different from eachother. They dont all wear the same one piece ect.

>>342444i always felt like bloom, stella, and flora were uber feminine and musa, tecna, and layla weren't as much and i liked the balance. sure they're all fashionable but i like that stella is the extra girly-girl fashion-and-beauty-obsessed girl. they overall look like they have less distinct personalities in future seasons. you can tell musa is inspired by music like hip-hop, tecna is geeky, and layla is athletic.

>>342444>they share the same silhouette Fair tbh, but I personally don't mind because I like spotting the differences in each. And they don't always have the same identical silhouette 100%, with Aisha and Tecna wearing pantd and shorts respectively in some outfits or transformations, while Musa has a top and a skirt that seem like a dress at first, Flora, Bloom and Stella are the 100% dress girls.
>enchantixI kinda hate how Musa's look like a jester rather than anything music related tbh. Tecna, Stella and Flora have the best designs that correlate with their powers. While Musa as I said looks off, Bloom looks like a fairy of water or something with all the blue, teal and green and the pearls, nothing about it says fire at all, while Aisha has an outright ugly design and possibly the worst shade of green ever. Enchantix silhouettes were based on different flowers as wel, cornflower for Bloom, orchid for Stella, chinese lantern flower for Musa and so on, and I don't understand why base the final form of a fairy on a flower? I guess they were trying to lean more into the traditional fairy designs or something. But now they all look like fairies of nature or natural elements. Except Tecna, only one with a design that reflects her powers.
>>342447They still do that but they gave the hiphop style to Aisha, while Musa is more of a rock or pop star or alt fashion in general to fit what was trendy in music of that era. Picrel is Musa and Aisha's outfits from s5 and Tecna's from s7. She looks like a nerdy girl to me, all she needs is glasses.

My morals are clashing with my love for the art style of Winx. I really like the proportions and outfits, but it definitely shouldn’t have been targeted towards young girls with how sexualized and extreme the outfits and figures were (super skinny, tiny tiny waist, etc.) but that goes for a lot of older children/teen shows too. I think Winx would have been more interesting targeted towards a young adult female audience too with nothing changed about the style but incorporating more mature plot lines and themes.
>>342623I love this stuff, thanks for posting! Interesting how these initial concepts seemed to be more modest in dress. They’re cute but honestly, the outfits they went with were more visually interesting! I love Tecna’s big chunky boots though lol

>>342650I don't think they were sexualized. They had pretty, whimsical outfits in a ultra girly-girl show aimed at girls, not boys. The newer outfits don't cut it for a reason, they look too normal for beings that are supposed to be powerful magical creatures. Thinking it's sexualized is just applying adult logic when kids don't perceive it that way. I certainly didn't watch winx as a kid and thought "wow they're really fucking naked and trying to appeal to all the boys watching this".
It's a girls' show. Sometimes things just aren't about or for men.

>>342682>>342691Nta but just because it was targeting girls doesn't mean the outfits weren't sexualized as they were clearly mimicking early 2000s trends which were intented to be sexy. The outfits are really cute, that's true, but it's naive to think that just because it's supposed to appeal to girls, it can't be influenced by the hypersexualized culture. Of course children don't notice those things, they just see pretty dresses and skirts but there's still a point to be made about how even what is supposed to be a power fantasy for young girls is still sexualized and conforming to rigid beauty standards.
That doesn't mean I want to cancel the show or whatever, I still have a soft spot for it. You just start to see things differently as an adult or rather a peaked woman.
Stuff like picrel is fine though, I don't think
all of the fashion was sexualized, mainly the fairy outfits.

>>342682>>342691idk when I was 8 the outfits rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't even live in a conservative area and the adults in my life never commented on girls wearing revealing clothes. I also was a skinny kid so it wasn't because I was insecure.
I don't get the "it's girly fashion" argument either. I have been a girly girl all my life and there is so much more to girly fashion that crop tops and miniskirts.
>>342696agreed. I highly doubt that the artists where pervs who wanted them to look sexy. The outfits are simply just a product of its time. But its also says alot that we never see male characters in boy cartoons wearing revealing clothes. Its a larger issue with society that girls clothes is less practical than boys clothes, like picrel (spoilered for being off topic). I don't think attacking Winx is productive, and I don't think Winx is "harmful" when it comes to body image but it doesn't exist in a vacuum either

>doll companies do that for easier moldingKinda OT. But the reason why Monster High was so popular (i believe the reboot is also popular now?) Is because the unique face molds, body and outfits. Like yes a lot of companies choose the cheaper and easier option. But that doesn't mean it's a good thing?

I am so upset with Will's reboot design. Her clothes and red hair in the original were such a cool preteen tomboy/punk aesthetic. She looked like someone who I could be friends with and listen to Paramore together after school lol. Now she looks like she's from a cancelled Life Is Strange sequel. Lame ass art bitch.
As an aside, are any of you familiar with /co/'s W.I.T.C.H. poster? Definitely a mood but the threads are funny and consist of an anon preaching how the 2000s W.I.T.C.H. cartoon was the best TV show ever and was cut down before its time. I liked that show too especially season 2 but damn.

so disappointed they chose to reboot it, it will likely be trash. disney hasn't even finished their official translations of the original series so i'm just gonna read them as they're published and pretend this new one doesn't even exist. even the manga style was a better depiction of the girls.

She was one of the girls who lost their original love interest to free them up for more scrote of the week stories.

I think that the reason why they switched up artistically this much as the years went by is because the directors decided to go with a more kid's show direction and less for an early teen cartoon. If you look into the first 3 seasons the art looks somewhat for 9-13 year old girls while the latest seasons look straight up cocomelon shit. Idk, the faces are more round, the art looks more baby-like. First seasons were also more about mature themes but as time went by the characters became a shell of what they were teased to be in the beggining, it's a shame but I don't think it's entirely wrong for your headcanon to have the series stop after a certain season.
No. 345626
>>345615Didn't Iginio himself say this? It was because teens and older kids stopped watching tv and are all on the internet, while extremely young kids are watching tv, so the change was necessary to make these kids watch it and for the parents to approve of it for their 6 yo kids to watch. But art style aside, season 8 had decent plot about
dying stars that geg their light stolen by some evil darkness creatures who work for Valtor, and the winx go to the stars and discover a queendom there that they work for to restore starlight since there are creatures living on stars, and planets relying on these starlights. They also meet some guy who does the same and creates artificial star cores to replace the stolen/broken ones. By the end they defeat Valtor and get to wish to become the ultimate most invincible guardians of the magical universe. And the canon ends there because no one can ever defeat them after that. There are some goofy ahh moments like the dance competition against the trix, petty relationship drama, some of the side characters being too cute it's kinda annoying, and the guy working for Valtor being the worst thing about that season. Valtor was also kinda nerfed. There's also the controversial back story of Icy, which I personally like and have some headcanons building upon it, but lots of fans hate it. No. 345956

Flora falling in love with a pacifist was adorable. Unpopular opinion I guess but I liked Riven and Musa's
toxic relationship, it was a different dynamic and made it a little less predictable than everyone else's sappy relationships.
