“The relationship drama in Winx Club is getting out of hand. There are so many unnecessary plotlines like the accusation of cheating, Diaspro still not getting over Sky, Helia having a childhood friend that made Flora jealous…why? Why can’t the couples in this show grow together for once? Why do all of these dramas have to be repeated over and over again? 

Riven for example had a lot of character development in S1 and then it was erased and he was blamed for every argument in his relationship. I need others (and especially the writers) to know that relationships work both ways. You can’t just blame one party for everything that went wrong. Riven did a lot of good things as well, but he still gets blame for everything. Why does no one talk about Musa and how she needs to put effort into this relationship as well? She said he didn’t care about her enough in S3, didn’t trust him in S5, was mad for no reason in S8 when he returned, etc. BOTH need to grow and need to do it together.”

“Everything in kid shows like Miraculous Ladybug or Winx Club etc. is NOT always going to go the fandom’s way all the time like they so desperately want, but as long as they are not hurting anyone else, is it really wrong to want something else to happen besides what is happening, even from a kids show? Is it wrong to dream?

I just feel like people these days can’t even hope for or want something better from a show without someone saying “it’s for kids” or “Don’t like? Don’t watch”. Like, ok, we get it? But is it really wrong for a show to strive to be better than what it is? Is it really wrong to improve? I’m really starting to think that people only use those excuses so those kind of shows won’t change because it’s “fine the way it is” or they just want people to shut up because THEY personally don’t think it’s nothing wrong with the show. 

Well, an opinion is an opinion for a reason. People have the right to be disappointed in something that happens in a show”. 

“Lolirock should’ve been the next big western magical girl show like the way Winx Club was/is. It does a good job representing the genre and is a good gateway to the magical girls’ genre.”

“I’m one of those fans who feel it should’ve ended after the first movie and Enchantix is my favorite because of how it’s earned (through a sacrifice; in other words, selflessness). But season four is my favorite season (minus Nabu’s death), I love almost every transformation throughout the series, and there are some things I do like of the later seasons like bringing back previous characters (Daphne, Miele, etc) and finally showing us Tecna’s and Flora’s parents, and Tecna’s homeworld. The only thing I really, really hate is all the relationship drama, but I’ve hated that since season 1. I guess I’m saying I don’t know where I stand with the fandom. Am I a fan? A semi-fan?”

“The Winx fandom is lowkey insane. Especially after they made Eliot (who’s going to play Terra in the Winx Live Action) delete her Instagram, because of the bullying done by the Winx fandom? Are they crazy? Don’t they realize Eliot is chosen for a reason? If she made it through the casting, she was worth it. It’s ok to have an opinion. But to lash out your frustration at the actress is just… mean!”

“I still haven’t forgiven Flora for how she treated her sister in episode 7x06.

Putting aside she was a hypocrite (for crying out loud, she was knocked down and out four episodes prior!), it was unnecessary to hurt Miele like that. Then, when Miele saves them from DYING OF POISON, all she gets is a half-hearted apology and scolded for being “reckless” (which she certainly wasn’t; does Flora know what reckless means?). Flora seemed a bit short-tempered with Helia and Amarok for about half of season 7 for no reason, but that particular episode with Miele is what knocked her off my favorites list.”
