people also forget that they whitewashed stella, she’s originally tan but netflix was like “nah…more white!”

I really wishhh they'd explained Tinkerbell having a voice in Season 2 because it feels like such a small thing to come up with, but it's kinda funny that they just went along with it lol

I feel like world of winx came off as better than it actually was due to the late seasons just being sooo blatantly HORRENDOUS

In some comic books that take place shortly after Season 7 we see Faragonda informing the Winx about a Talent Thief on earth so that does connect them to the main series but then the comics also tend to have their own continuity.

25:56 actually i like stella's nemesis so much, because it is true she used to get bullied at school and totally makes sense, because in winx club season 2 she mentioned that in her childhood she wasn't that IT GIRL she is rn and that they showed her with big glasses and goofy style overall means that she wasn't as charming as the stella we know, and later they explored that more about her childhood, which i do appreciate to get such a character development from her kid version to become what she is now and i absolutely appreciate mentioning that in world of winx, because yeah she does fear being "ugly" and "unattractive" and she does face that with fear, that's literally what her season 2 is about, when valtor turned her into that frog-faced creature, she was afraid that ppl (especially brandon) to see her, which is very valid, and shows the depth of her character and insecurities. Absolute icon love her, and i love what they did

Its the fact that during the show, the girls were not really that good protecting their celebrity. vicitims from getting kidnapped despite there being SIX of them is wild 😭

If WoW focused on Roxy and some other newbies, you could resolve the “don’t use magic” part for them by making it so they didn’t want to become known fairies. For the most part Roxy wasn’t truly associated with the Winx and publicly recognized as one of them so it’s a little fudging but if we make the conflict revolve around Roxy and the other newbies wanting to keep their magical lives and personal ones separate it works better. Both Dreamix and Onyrix should’ve only been used in the world of dreams which makes the show one part slice of life, one part magical adventure and one part spy thriller with an easier balance.

Also having the Winx give Roxy the mission would’ve fully cemented them in their mentor role AND solved the power scaling issue since Dreamix and Onyrix are still sub forms and we’d get to see how magic dimensions wor connected to earth since it’s still outside the magic dimension in and of itself.

There's no reason to have a spin off with the same characters

Roxy in the orginal show they could of brought back as the seventh member of the winx alongside Daphne

The biggest problem with World of Winx is the lack of context ¿How did the Winx discover there's a talent thief? ¿How did Stella get bullied if she's a PRINCESS? ¿How did they meet Roxy if no one on Earth knows fairies exist? ¿How did they manage to participate in a television program if it is said that they have only been on Earth for 2 months?

The writing was very iffy in a lot of places, as well as the god forsaken voice acting. Art style was pretty but they made the winx have same face syndrome. If you were to strip them of their hair and put them in grayscale, you wouldn't know who's who. This same face syndrome also consequently caused Musa's asian erasure. The only hint we got at Musa being asian is.... her bangs...

I personally dislike the 'individual mission' episodes against their respective nemeses cause it got predictable and rarely ever served for much character development at all, and even if it did, it was minuscule and not impactful to the plot, like they never brought it back up again in following episodes. I disliked it in Season 5 and 6 (S5: go to each of their own home world ocean to bond with their selkie; S6: EXCEPT Musa, each Winx had an individual Legendarium-Mythix episode). I feel those episodes could've been executed better if they wanted to at least showcase some sort of depth to their character but they're still pretty shallow. Though, character depth has always been an issue since the original golden era of Winx.

What I really liked was that they were able to get really creative with a lot of the Winx's powers, something that has been missing from the show for a good while. They've modified Bloom, Stella, Musa and Aisha's power set to be more broad and general (fire, light, sound and water). However the most creative executions (imo) were Stella and Musa. That scene where Stella manipulated the LASERS?? SO BADA**!! Musa using her sound magic to mimic foot steps and for echolocation (just like in Season 1). The next positive is that the tone of the show was more mature, they're working adults (thought not outright stated, their age is much implied to be adult given the timeline if applicable at all) trying to navigate a mission.

Overall, WoW has...a lot of flaws but it's an improvement in comparison to the modern winx seasons (5-8)

World of Winx's art style could have been Winx Club's season 8 art style.. 🥹

6:10 maybe it’s like a Hannah Montana situation where only Crowley corners knows Henness secret, but not the rest of the world

3:34 they are supposed to look more mature (like adults!) and the animation style really nailed it

Amazing breakdown of the series!
I felt the same with WOW, it felt like fans were being way too generous with the show because it wasn't seaosns 5-8. It's a alright show that's being hindered by being associated with the winx franchise. If it was about some random fairies on earth then it would stand on its own.

Remember the episode where the girls swapped talents and obviously only Bloom did good job? Favoring Bloom never ends

Neat video
It was cool to see your talked about World of Winx and your experience when watching it. For me, I thought the show was alright. I feel like the reason fans overhyped about WOW is because it comes out after season 7. Y'know, the most childish season of Winx club, it basically feels like the lowest point of the franchise around that time. So I don't blame fans for praising WOW so much at that time, and i'm glad years has passed, and people started to see flawed with the show itself.

Tinkerbell turning evil in this series reminds me of Erazor Djinn from Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. Erazor used to be the genie of Aladdin but since he was free thanks to his master letting him go, Erazor became evil and tried to modify the Arabian nights stories to his style. Tinkerbell on the other hand, became evil because Peter Pan left her and she turned Neverland into her evil empire. One detail I noticed with World of Winx is that the elements of Fairy Tales are used a lot here. Not only Peter Pan but also Baba Yaga, witch from the Russian folklore and it's a shame that the show ended on a cliffhanger. Imagine that in the next seasons, the Winx go to help the Seven dwarves to save Snow White who became evil and they're helped by an old hag, who is the Queen in disguise. Or even, the Winx meeting Alice and going to Wonderland to fight against the evil beasts that the Red Queen has created. There was a lot of Fairy Tale potential for World of Winx but sadly, this spinoff ended on a cliffhanger. Also that characters such as the Trix, Faragonda, Headmistress Griffin, the specialists and others don't appear in this series. At least Roxy returned.

Umm Roxy was supposed to become a full time member of the show. That was the plan from the beginning and was  confirmed by Iginio in interviews. When Nickelodeon soft rebooted the show they left Roxy out so the girls can be 16 again because she was the biggest obstacle that wouldn’t let that happen.
She will return in the reboot though down the line as a full time member. That’s been confirmed

I never will forgive them for cancelling the series
