Winx club comics: Viz VS Papercutz

(Details undercut)

Around 2011 Viz started publishing the Winx Club comics in the USA. They only ended up publishing 18 issues out of Winx's library of 200+ total issues, and the issues they picked weren't even in order; they randomly jumped ahead and started releasing "season 3" and "season 4" issues and skipped dozens of comics.

Last year Pappercutz started releasing their own run of Winx comics, starting fresh from the beginning.

As a Winx Club and comic fan, I have both.

So I was wondering if they had just republished Viz's translations, but as it turns out, they started from scratch.

Most of the dialog is similar. It's not the same, (by far) but you can definitely tell that they were translating from the same source. (most of the time...)

However!!!

There are moments in the comics that make me wonder what the heck was going on. So I thought that I'd point out some of the more odd translating choices that were made. (Sorry for the poor quality of the images.)

In the first comparison, Stella replies with "Those only exist in fairy tales, Bloom! This is reality!" Implying that there are no magical creatures here; this is reality. However, in the Papercutz version, Stella says, "There are magical beings and creatures everywhere. Nothing here is "normal"..." Here she's replying to the fact that Bloom called the creatures "weird" and says that they aren't weird. She is saying that there are magical creatures, and they're normal.

As I said earlier, most of the differences in the translations are pretty similar, but in this case, the meanings are completely different. (From what I remember this happened a few other times too.)

In image 2, either Viz straight up added in extra dialog for Bloom, or Papercutz removed it.

In comparison 3, Bloom's speech bubble moved. (I was able to find an image of this page in Italian, and it looks like Viz had kept the original placement while Papercutz decided to move it. (For some reason?))

In 4, either Viz added arrows or Pappercutz removed them. (Arrows like these usually show up in comics intended for kids to help them read it in the right order when the designers make some creative "box" placements.)

In comparison 5 it looks like Viz forgot a text box and it was left blank for the release. Also, they changed the onomatopoeia to "punch".

^ And this was a reoccurring theme with Viz. They would constantly change the onomatopoeias to either more English sounding ones or just words. (There were still times were they did keep the original onomatopoeias though. Maybe they just got lazy or forgot.)

In 6 we see that either Viz added a text box or Pappercutz removed it.

There were a few other insistence like this. Viz had added a "Meanwhile" box at one point. (Or Pappercutz removed it.)

Now in one of the biggest differences between the two translations: in Viz's version, Sky is called Sky from the start while Papercutz keeps the original version where Sky is pretending to be Brandon until the end of "season 1."

If I had to guess why Viz went through all of the trouble to change Sky and Brandon's names (each and every single time they were mentioned, by the way) it would be because at the same time Viz was publishing these comics the "Nick specials" were being aired. These "specials" condensed the first two seasons of Winx Club into 4, 45 minute "recaps" that were meant to get potential new viewers caught up with the lore without Nick having to re-dub seasons 1 and 2.

And in the specials they removed the "Sky and Brandon name change" subplot.

So theoretically, it would make sense to keep the story consistent.

Honestly though? Even if that was the thought process, I still don't think that they should've done that. They should've just translated the comics as they were. That was their job. A lot of the plot points in the comics wouldn't work within the show and/or are different from the show. (Like Tecna's comic parents.) So it really shouldn't have been a problem with "comic Sky" and "comic Brandon" changing names.

if i’m anything from the winx, i am team griffin all the way. anyways, what do we think of headmistress griffin’s new look from the new comic release? i personally wished they were loyal to her pale green skin and her eye makeup isn��t the same as the og. i’m not a fan of her art style either from season 8 but we don’t really talk about that. she just looks so different :(

faragonda would not approve this! and valtor would be pissed.

My AU & Headcanon

In this post, I'm going to explain many details about how I see the Winx universe. This post will be updated regularly.

A few words of introduction. 🍄

Hello there, I'm Sam. I'm 25 and I live in Paris, France. I have a degree in English literature, and most precisely as a researcher in American literature. So, yes, I love reading and writing. 🧡

Kimii used to be my user name when I was twelve. I used to have a french news account on Winx club. (does it still exist? Nope... the website shut down in 2023). So when I created my account here, I just kept it. It's a sort of identity I embraced my whole teenage years, so it made sense to keep it. It's my Winx Identity.

For the language, I write in English. I may be fluent, but I can leave some mistakes here and there. If you notice any big ones, please feel free to send me a DM. Thank you very much. It can be hard sometimes to notice them.

The Winx Club I grew up with. 🌚

The first thing I think is essential to know about my writing, is that I grew up with the only french dub existing, which is based on the original one (Rai Italy). I stick a lot to the original plot while I try to make it more conherent and consistent.

Headcanon or Canon? ☀️

I'm mostly canon at first sight. Indeed, I stick to the original plot, but I also tend to modify details, timelines, or events so it makes more sense. I like to change those details enough that the story holds more realism and maturity.

One of the major things I do when I keep the original plot is that I add the details given in the comic books. For those who didn't read them, the main storyline is similar (Bloom looking for her parents, etc...) The comics feel more like filler episodes. That's why I like to add those details to my stories. For example, Bloom has a job in Magix. It is shown in the comics but not the cartoon. This detail makes sense as we see in season 4 that the specialists exchange valuables for paper money. The same goes for Bloom, she works in order to have Magix's currency.

So consider my Winx canon as a mix of both comic books and of the cartoon.

I write a lot about Bloom & Sky, (oops ?🤗) since they are my favorite. I have many, many, MANY ideas for them. So it won't be very balanced between the pairings 😶 However, I do accept prompts and requests for pretty much every character.

Most, if not all my stories are linked. I like to build a consistent timeline. So if you happen to read all the oneshots or longer ff, you will notice some ref to older ff or oneshots I posted. On my main post, always make sure to include a set timeline so it gives you an idea of where the scenes take place. After season 4, I don't acknowledge anything. Not even the second movie (I liked it a lot but it is a huge problem in my timeline since the dubs are all over the place...)

For the stories that happen in the future, those would be more headcanon. The pairings might be canon most of the time, the plots would be so advanced that I don't think they can be considered canon. Plus, I love world-building.

Information on some characters. 🌈

Musa & Tecna: not royals in my AU. They are not introduced as such in the Rai version. Plus, I much prefer them as "normal people" as it brings even more diversity to the cartoon. I would hate to have most Winx girls being princesses... For Tecna, I want to work on her as half fairy, half android. Just like she was supposed to be.

Riven: Oh Riven.... I have a sort of affection for him. Like a soft spot for who he could be if the writing of the show had given him more time to grow. I will work on that. You have my word. Not only do I want him to have a past, but also a future. I see him doing great things.

Aisha/Layla: In the french dub, she is called Layla, but I really like Aisha because we love diversity here. Plus, Aisha has a beautiful meaning!

Sky: In my AU, he stays Brandon at the beginning and then Prince Sky later on like in the original. I plan on writing a few oneshots about what if he had been "prince Sky" from the beginning, or if he had never attended Red Foutain (I really like that one hehe).

Helia: I like the idea of Helia being a bit cold and blunt, like at the beginning of season 2. (or at least he was in French). That man did not care about anybody but Flora and I loved that. So I will work with him in that way.

Diaspro: I get that most fans tend to redeem her a lot, but I think her arc in seasons 1, 2, and 3 is brilliant. Although the path of the narrative did not allow her to grow a little bit or even explain why she behaved the way she did. So, my Diaspro is still... Well Diaspro, but I want to build her more realistically. She is an interesting character. Her being a fairy and yet being manipulative and self-centered is much more realistic. It brings a lot of dimention to the magical world. Wwhat if she was forced by conventions and traditions to be a fairy, because of her nobility ? hmmm... You will have to wait and see.

Nabu: Don't talk to me, he will live on forever on this Tumblr. While I love him, and I adore his sacrifice, I can't let go of him. He is just sleeping, Okay. Now move along. ��

Samara and Erendor: I have read @gins-potter fanfic (go read it! ) and she made me remember one of my childhood frustration. Why in the world does Sky look nothing like his parents??! Erendor looks like... Brandon? She actually changed their appearance, which I loved. I want to keep Samara as she is, but maybe Erendor will have to suffer a rendez-vous at the hairstylist. And @gins-potter agreed to let me use her depiction of Erendor since it feats perfeclty the way I imagined him.

Domino/Sparx: I will only use Domino as it is the name I always knew. Same for Melody.

When it comes to the Winx and their life after Alfea, I have a very detailed idea of their jobs and position etc... I will either do a post abour it, or just let you guys discover more about it in the stories.

“I would like to see more of the Trix and Specialists interacting in a friendly way, like in issue #23.”

[hkgcsblog]

Sometimes I really want more fanart of them as Fairies. I wonder if that's Helia's Enchantix form or winx form?

[lawielvspd]

There's something in WinxClub s8 that I just can't stand

How did brother get from this

TO THIS??

I'm sorry, but it looks like he tried to get facial surgery that went totally wrong (what's wrong with those lips? Hell naw)💀

And I mean, u can totally notice the difference in his skin color between the seasons.

I don't know for what purpose they made him whiter, even in the comics bro is NOT white, but anyways, I totally refuse to draw him that way...😶

when will people learn that live-action remakes will never be good as their original animated counterparts because the glory of animation is the colour, movement, and fantasy that's just untranslateable to live-action
