#Winx club s5

[snarky-art]

Alrighty I’ve finally finished season 5

I hate how obvious it is they’re trying to tone the show down completely to even lower audience demographic. The first 3 seasons were for kids but there was actual peril and darker concepts and stuff that were much more interesting damn you Nickelodeon and your desperate attempt to keep the most squeaky clean image ever not only does it not work it’s costing stories and plot

I REFUSE to believe Stella would be a bad fashion designer with how much she loves fashion (I know it was a joke in s1 too but I still refuse). Plus, avant-garde is a thing and she would serve

That boat that was sent from Andros was def made exclusively for the winx there is NO WAY that style exists anywhere else on that planet for land related peoples with all of its hard lines and industrial style architecture with its limited color palettes

The nautical themed outfits are cute but Bloom’s looks SO overdone to me and Stella,, my sweet babygorl,, wtf did you do to your own fit?? Aisha’s poodle puff braid ftw also

Harmonix was totally useless BUT I still like the flower petal aesthetic vibe (even tho only Flora is a nature floral lady) and some of the color combos. Bloom in pink is still a no tho, which is something I mainly hate because of how obvious it is they started integrating it into her more to make her more marketable for toy lines and shit

Where did the gems that were already on the starfish thing for sirenix come from?

The amount of times the girls all gasp or ooo or ahh and go like “wow!” “so cool!” “amazing!”,, I will kill I feel like I’m watching a 1990s or early 2000s anime dub I hate it I hate it I hate it

Icy would NOT simp like this (shoutout to her leaving Valtor when he got ugly and telling him that’s why she’s leaving him)

The relationship drama was just as stupid and hamfisted as I thought it was from an outside skim of the season based off of secondhand knowledge ie posts and gifs. Also, Krystal did nothing wrong, she’s just autistic and Helia would NOT introduce Flora as anything other than the love of his life.

Timmy and Tecna also have one of the healthiest relationships why tf is everyone trying to give them advice like this they’ve all been dating for YEARS why are all of y’all so insecure like this? The writers really said fuck everyone’s character development even more than they already had

I continue to not give a shit about skoom also this was just exhausting I can’t do it

Also that is NOT Luna and Radius. That “he wouldn’t say that!” meme is ME SOOOO MUCH during this season at so many people but I actually started YELLING about Luna being some sort of soft gorl while Radius is this prideful ignoramus

Sirenix giving Aisha that blonde hair while knowing about the insane white washing to come in the future is something I Think About

The sirenix song does bop also, although I’m so sorry to say I don’t think I’m as big of a fan of it as a lot of people are but maybe that’ll change as I hear it more please forgive me

Also, Musa’s little coffee grinder move during her sirenix transformation? So cute, wish we actually got to see it more than like 2 times. Damn you shortened sirenix transformarion sequence

Im convinced Tecna doesn’t actually know karate, she just thinks it looks cool so she mimics it. Same with Flora and her ballet/lyrical looking poses she does during her sirenix transformation sequence. She doesn’t actually know those styles of dance, she just thinks they looks neat and tries to copy it.

Dark sirenix, you’re slaying thank you for your service

Bloom, you can’t insult Diaspro and remind her you’re a princess in that fucking dress while she’s serving cunt like that

The combat is soooo slow compared to previous seasons I hate it

The rigging throughout this season was a MESS

They should go after the handful of companies that are actually responsible for the majority of pollution and destroy them and their ceos a la Flora season 1 core

Where did they put all of that trash they got out of the ocean? They went to the pacific trash island and cleaned it up. Where did it go? I’m so curious

All of the kings are so STUPID too the whole meetup thing was so dumb like just fucking,, help each other you know it makes more sense

AND PUT SOME MF RESPECT ON THE WINX’S NAMES, ALL OF THEM. They are GUARDIAN FARIES who have saved the magical world HOW MANY TIMES NOW??? Bites the writers bites the writers bites the writers

Their little dance workout outfits? Hatred. I miss the old ones so much. All of these outfits from this season,, it’s so clear cishet people were the main ones designing the clothes I hate it so much it’s not the same kind of tacky and camp that the first 3 seasons had. The only good things I can say about the dance outfits is that Flora’s purple leg warmers were cute, Aisha’s color palette was nice, and Bloom’s was very Bloom core

Icy: you guys are helping me??

Darcy and Stormy: I mean, yeah, we aren’t talking to you rn, but you’re still out sister

Me: OUGH🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭

I forgot Roy existed🥲

Daphne being brought back like this still seems so bleh to me knowing how they don’t really do shit with it and about how it was done only because they retconned all the og stuff from canon and to continue to milk the franchise until it’s teats are dry and chapped BUT I’m glad she does a little spinny at the end of the season with Bloom so at least I got that

that’s all I got for now

Shout out to @charmixpower for suffering through this all with me.

We watched the first half of the series in like 2 or 3 sittings that took place months apart, and then did the last half in one 8 hour sitting

I couldn’t have gotten through it without yelling at each other and making shitty jokes.

The psychic damage you inflicted on me throughout this was awful but I would do it all again in a heartbeat (but not really because good lird this was EXCRUCIATING sorry bestie💕💕💕)

Anyway onto season 6 now I GUESS

[adreamthatsworthkeeping]

How does this Sirenix thing work? Bloom gets the gem of courage and the rest get it just because? What a rort. They used to all have to do their own action to get their charms or whatever. Now one gets it they all get it.

Never under-estimate these magic books

[no-white-dress]

I am so so glad Musa's mom wasn’t brought back from the dead.

I see all your "but Tecna and Stella got their feelings and face back!" and I understand where that comes from. The loss of a parent is unspeakably heavy. Musa will spend the rest of her life hoping her mom could see her, wishing she could talk to her and have her advice and hell, even wishing she had the chance to argue with her like she argues with her dad.

But her loss is not recent. Her choice in the labyrinth wasn’t between finding a cure for her mom or saving the universe. It was between saving the universe or entering an alternate reality/time loop and stay with her mother, whose stuck-in-time self somehow knew that that girl was her daugher, an unknown amount of years in the future (we don’t know when the projection or whatever it was Arcadia made was. Maybe Musa was a toddler. Maybe Wa Nin already knew she didn’t have much left to live). What was offered to her wasn’t to get her mother back. It was to give up the rest of her life and spend it with a version of her mother that would never leave.

And even if bringing Wa Nin back was what was at stake there, what would it be like for Wa Nin? She died around when Musa was 10 years old, maybe earlier than that. That’s between 6 and 10 years before s3. Wa Nin would be brought back presumably at the same age she died, while everyone else got older. Her daughter grew up, her husband grew old, everyone she knew. There would be a rift between her and everyone else. I'm not talking just s6 issues played for laughs like "Daphne can't walk and becomes clumsy because she isn’t used to having a body anymore". Daphne had, at least, always been aware of the world during her years as a ghost. She had continued observing and, arguably, maturing mentally. Wa Nin was just gone. She'd go to the cemetery to visit a relative's grave and see her own. Who knows how she'd be received by the community at large (surely bringing back the dead is not exactly common or well-accepted magic).

That was not the choice Musa was called to make. That was not a choice Musa had the right to make.

JFKSKDJD THE WINX PUT ON A CONCERT AND HE TAKES OUT A FUCKING GUITAR AND JOINS GOD I LOVE S5 RIVEN SO FUCKING MUCH HES SUCH A SUPPORTIVE DUMBASS

[odetteandfriends]

I still dont understand why winx didn't make Roxy the yellow fairy seeing how it's the last color needed to complete the rainbow. Though i heard rumors she was going to be purple. I might use yellow for my Nereus Sirenix.

[winx-trash]

I hate selkies. I don't hate them because I find them annoying but because how little sense it makes that these weak ass shrimps are the ones guarding portals and other important structures. It's so counterintuitive.

Who made them responsible for guarding extremely important structures like pillars of light, etc.? Deep seas are known for their giant living organisms like the colossal squid and the sperm whale. Why does it have to be chibi looking shrimps with toothpicks for weapons?

[darlenicy]

Okay, so I am watching season 5 and I won't hide my opinion on it

Episode 5x2

1stly I have to say, that watching this gives me physical pain. 😂 s4 was super duper good compared to this. But let's start with ep 2:

Let Musa sing, Bloom!

➡ honestly, it looks and feels so wrong to see the actual fairy of music with the angelic voice being reduced to a random band member

➡ Layla however fits the part of a drummer imo

I love how these guardian selkies are super useless but I have to admit, they're kinda cute. Better than the ugly pets anyway. And they have a task to fulfill and therefore and excuse to be in the show

also why is Tritannus' trident just lying there? shouldn't someone like..store it somewhere instead of letting it lie there in the dungeons on the floor?

also idk what happened to the Trix but the imprisonment must have been so traumatic to them that Icy suffers from a strong out-of-character sickness

➡ everyone knows this, but I'll say it again and again: Icy was totally disgusted by Valtor turning into a monster at the end of s3 and now Tritannus does it and now she's like cool💗

awawawa look at my girls' little faces (but it would've been way funnier if only Icy was the one who looked like that and Stormy and Darcy being 😒)

Layla finds out that Tritannus disturbed the coronation of his brother and is like: WHY DOES HE DO SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE?

➡ firstly: is it really that horrible to disturb a coronation? i mean it's not nice but HORRIBLE? isn't it rather horrible that a father imprisons his own son? And 2ndly do you really wonder about that when you too call Tritannus your psycho cousin? I'm afraid I'll found the Tritannus-Defense-Squad simply because everyone treats him like shit and this even though I don't really know what to think about him lol but this is so unfair

The oil floods the ocean ➡ Tecna: COME ON I HAVE TO FILM THIS! (this might be poorly translated in the German dub since she says in the nickelodeon version, that they had to document it but I find it kinda funny imagining Tecna to be someone who films straight away tragic events. There is car accident? WHERE IS MY CAMERA?)

another thing that makes me wonder if the script writers have actually ever thought about anything is why the oil can't harm the trix but tritannus? Any ideas? no? ok

Stormy: This guy could be our way out of here – Icy: This guy could be the guy for me ➡ stop thinking with your vagina, Icy. that’s so not you (seriously what happened during their imprisonment???)

it's kinda cute how concerned the trix look when tritannus attacked the selkies. It's not like they did the same things to the pixies already

like Stormy is so: OHHH NOO THE POOR BBS

also tritannus looks so ugly lmao what's wrong with you, icy?

and why does tritannus want to earth? Is there a proper reason? To get the oil? Only to get the oil? He really enjoys being an ugly monster? ok

Okay, their flirting is cute, I do admit that. It's better written then skloom and that's funny.

Icy: "We don't have our powers, they were taken from us" (➡ doesn't s1 show us that this is actually impossible????) But if you could ....." *fluttering her eyelashes* Tritannus: ".... restore them?" Icy: yes <;3 OKAY I admit that's cute. Their dynamic is better than skloom's ever was lmao

Tritannus is also a bitch for kajal, isn't he 👁? ⬇

⬆ i mean look at his eyes. good for him i guess.. but look at his eyes! 🤣🤣

Darcy: What do you think? Stormy: …why not – lmao she's like "we’ve nothing better to do now”

➡ but I love seeing them kinda wondering IF they should follow them or not. Before, the trix always did follow the bad guys as a team but now Icy is doing her solo thing and Darcy is like... are we okay with that? and stormy is like: she'll get over him soon

I love the trix being able to sense the magic of the Winx on earth

why do the Winx need SO LONG to transform?? why run away like chickens? you can transform and ahjhhhhggg 🤬

WHY ISN'T ROXY WITH THEM??? Why is she left out again?? She could help! JUSTICE FOR ROXY!

Why do the Winx suddenly know how to breath underwater? Wasn't that like hard in s3? What? We give no fck on continuity? OK

icy crying for help?…………….you fkn serious? ➡ Icy, how out of character do you wanna be? Icy: YES

[darkpoisonouslove]

Darcy keeps pointing out the Trix can't win because she just wants to fuck Riven again and he will come back running if she's not an evil magical terrorist trying to take over the universe.

[stellasolaris]

For the make me choose between:

character: Amore or Chatta

pairimg: rivusa or driven?

1. I feel like Chatta (or someone like her) and I would often butt heads, so I'd have to go with Amore!

2. If you had asked me this question a few years ago, I would have easily said Rivusa. However, while I do still like them, I also like the idea of Riven and Darcy. I haven't explored it enough though, so I have to choose Rivusa.

Make me choose

LETHALLY MAGNIFICENT 💙🧡✨️

lethal woman

it’s nice to finally make an edit again. 🩵

[elsa-fogen]

I love the Trix sm

even in the reboot.

sorry i need to say this. leaks moment. (But no spoilers)

so there was a leaked script of some fight between winx and trix. no details, but, winx saying their spells out loud. TRIX DON'T DO THAT. THEY CAST SPELLS WITHOUT WORDS. LIKE, THERE'S DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION, BUT NO WORDS FROM THEM.

I LOVE IT

Like, in canon series (i mean 3 first seasons and the films) i feel like Icy said the least spells out of all trix and winx. She casts 80% of her magic without saying anything and I LOVE THIS because SHE'S SO COOL THAT SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SAY SPELLS OUT LOUD. That's like in harry potter, if you can cast spells without saying anything, that means that you are really good at magic, and i want to think that the same applies to winx club, because that makes sense!!!!

I wanna make a video where i count every spell casted by winx&trix verbally and non-verbally (my maximum tho only said 3 seasons... i don't know if i'll ever be able to re-watch that half of s5 ive seen and watch the rest of it and further seasons... or at least i need moral support for it)

what i'm trying to say... THE TRIX ARE SO COOL AND SKILLED AND RAINBOW CAN'T HANDLE THEM RIGHT like BRUH they make them THIS cool, give them SO MUCH POWER and then just make fun of them :\ RAINBOW I'M TAKING YOUR RIGHTS ON THESE GIRLS, YOU DON'T DESERVE THEM, THEY'RE MINE FOREVER NOW YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM BACK.

[princeofsolaria]

great return of The Trix

[charmixpower]

Isn't that bloom is also tomboy ?

The only tomboyish things about Bloom is that she wears pants in s1 and is more likely to straight up punch some one compared to the other winx, which does not a tomboy make, so, no. She's not a tomboy she's just also not a girly girl

She's casually feminine instead of being more hyper feminine like Flora and Stella

[theerurishipper]

Hi~ Hope you have a lovely day. I want to get your opinions on my rant lol and ask.

Marinette is such a disappointment of a lead female character in a western magical girl cartoon. She isn't a good leader and all her team consist of yes men and women and sidekick Chat Noir where her real partner Alya is standing over to the side. I liked her in the first two season and maybe some in s3 but the s4 and onward just got to me ngl. It's her world and we're all just living in it. Miraculous is so weird when it comes to team dynamics because I get she's guardian but I really wished it were someone else and not her because she chooses people she already get along great with. It fun for team dynamics to add be different and broader.

The whole she's just 14 the fandom spouts only goes so far how many messes do you do until you realise you need to own up to them even at that age when you should know better on your conduct ?

I get it hard to communicate but onwards I always thought the bigger of the two in the conflict was her because of her secrecy and her controlling tendencies. I disliked it so much in the ephemeral episode and her betraying her partner disgusted me. Sorry to those who like or defend her character this much but I can't stan or like a character that does this much crap to a friend let alone a love interest and then gloss over or minimize it and not be called out for it. Like, are people standards that low they think she's a good leader or a good proper representation on feminism when this show reeks of misogyny and misandry. She's the ultimatum voice for Astruc.

A communication issue with her Chat was fine a long time ago but now in s5 she crossed it hell nah how do people still support a ship with her knowing she followed Hawkmoth command for Adrien. I literally can't anymore with this show. Every guy she likes gotta be so 100 percent in effort and like in the Shadybug special him always comforting her makes me so jaded whenever she cries what about a change in dynamics had we ever seen her comfort him in turn how are people invested in this ship? Like that time in the bench and she just thought of ways to woo or give presents instead of just comforting him is so sad to watch.

She really followed in Master Fu steps. The bar is in hell and she crossed it in the finale. There is no excuse no handwaving it away and i know in my heart they gonna minimize it for Adrien own good. Everything is for his own good huh? What good is it rooting for a ship that just reeks of pity points. Like, she was never my favorite but who knew 8 years ago she'd pull a stunt like this and people bending over and doing mental gymnastics to rationalise this insanity. She really is a good foil to Gabriel ironically to bad she has no sway in this family drama we call the Agreste.

I know she has good intentions and it's not wrong for her to wish to save her prince but like thats all that is intention. Her actions are also important and the effects she's done is so bad that if she weren't the Main character and we haven't spent the chunk of the majority in her pov alone she'd be disliked.

I feel like compared to other respective series Winx Club s1-3 Bloom, Danny Phantom, Ben 10, Totally Spies they have it much more harder and so many more all show the consequences of your actions and how you do them right and they're her age. I feel like whenever someone bring up consequences it's like people in this particular fandom think we do it to punish Marinette but no I just never ever saw it properly done in this show because she's very coddled in the narrative. I don't see other MC as coddled as her before in a show where when they MESS UP it's actually integral and important.

Rant over.

You encapsulated all my thoughts perfectly, anon. I've said so many times before that I loved Marinette from Season 1-3 and even during Season 4 as it aired. What made me fall out of love with her character post Season 4 was the utter lack of acknowledgement of her actions and the insistence in portraying her as in the right at all times. Like you said, it's not just your intentions that matter. Your actions and the effects that they have on the people around you also matter. The writers don't seem to understand this, and it hits Marinette's character worst of all. She had so much potential to be such a great character, which is why I feel so sad seeing just how badly the writing failed her. Marinette deserved better.

Thank you for your ask!

[winx-trash]

s5 of winx is just so hard to get through
