    If Nickelodeon really wanted to do the specials so badly, I just don’t understand why they didn’t do 3 specials for each season. Or just give season 2 another special to include those extra character driven stories.

    I only ever watch these specials when i need a nap. When Winx came to Nickelodeon, i was so happy because i only got to experience seasons 1 and 2 through 4Kids and that was basically it. So when they redid everything through specials, i was pretty happy. But then when i finally got back into Winx in the eighth grade and got to rewatch the entire series beginning with the Cinelume dub, that's when i really began to see just how bad Nickelodeon fucked the show over.

    I mean, the specials are fine nothing too special. The one thing I will give credit to this era is the voice cast is stacked with a lot of well-known celebrities and voice actors who are involved in the Nickelodeon dub!

    First of all, I think I am one of the few Italians to follow you constantly 😂 Suffering is also shared for us. The only thing that is saved, and will be saved, is our dubbing, which is always excellent and iconic 🙏🏻✨ A short sad story: a Winx-themed musical was recently supposed to take place in Casavatore, but it was cancelled because the truck where the costumes, musical and stage equipment and other objects were all stolen.

    Lol the Nick version doesn't even exist in my mind. The only canon Winx material are the first 4 seasons, and I only watch them in Italian because the voices are consistent and fit the characters well💪 All the English dubs are a bit of a trainwreck. The only watchable one for me is 4kids because plenty of care and passion went into it despite the unnecessary edits.

    I love how despite how often we debate whether the Cinelume or 4Kids dub is better, we can all agree that nothing is as bad as the Nick dub. Also, I’ve been rewatching the first 3 seasons (I know, what else is new?) and I absolutely prefer the original animation over the HD versions. Maybe it’s the nostalgia influencing my preferences? Idk. It just feels like it has so much more charm!

    i really feel like people just say these specials are better animated just bcs they stay on model most of the times (well these are puppet animations so it would be wierd if they didn't) but like these look lifeless, everyone moves the same, they have no real facial expressions, transformations are boring and are all the same if you ignore the color of the background and sparkle effect.png

Was so excited for Aisha bc she was new. I'm happy that the cinelune dub was on Netflix in the mid 2010s so I could watch season 1 and 2 without the huge amount of cuts they made in the specials.

    i like the original 4 seasons way better than the specials, but i do like to put on the specials in the background while i do work from time to time. i also like to watch these specials + the nick dubs of seasons 3 and 4 if i’m binging the show as a whole, because having the same cast makes them feel more like the same characters in the same journey.

    One of the biggest issues of these specials are that they tried to make Bloom the "main, perfect character whose friends are just there". The writers at Nickelodeon didn't wanted to understand why they work together and why everybody loved the original show. From season 5 until today they tried to make Bloom the "foundation" of the show, a person, who can be a role model for little girls, taken away her personality and her little quirks that made her unique, but not just hers, but everyone's as well, turning them into "shadows of their former self". The specials could have been so much more, not just rehash of the first two seasons, but a great chance to introduce each and every girl, their worlds and their interests and their role in the group, that changed their life for better.

    Well as much as Nickelodeon screwed up the seasons, you gotta admit the opening is pretty catchy. Plus some the VA's did a decent job playing the characters. Does that save them for summarizing seasons 1 and 2? HECK NO Btw love your videos Thomas 💙💛🩷❤️💜💚

    Well, for starters, they probably should have given themselves more time. Maybe if the specials had been 2 hours each, they could have fit in more of the character moments. The season 2 one definitely needed more than one installment, for sure.

    I disagree because since Nickelodeon have bought the Winx Club Series the revival version of Season one and two storylines in the four special length episodes looks a lot better than the original especially in the Winx Club: The Shadow Phoenix were Darkar disguise as Professor Avalon and the version of Dark Bloom designs is impressive. I even liked the the new improved characters artstyle and their voices too so I have no problems with this at all.

    Imagine if Nickelodeon really did include Aisha in their Winx specials from the beginning. She must've had a roommate, and who it could've been. The fight scenes would've been rechoreographed to make Aisha contribute something. Added dialogue and basically making her the most proactive protagonist. These requires a lot of work, I realized typing this down. I see why Nick just did the lazy route instead.

    I already said this on the community post but crucify me but I absolutely love the specials😩 but in February I watched the rai English or cinelume dub for the very first time even though I watched the nick version dozens of times. I am biased to the nick voices and animation so any other version I didn’t not watch, but I do agree the specials leave out a lot of plot points of the characters. And I’m sure we can all agree to that consensus. Especially with life at alfea, battle at magicx, etc. if you haven’t watched the original version I highly recommend it adds so much more but I do feel like they summed up the first two seasons decently at the very least they could’ve done 3-4 specials for s2 as well

    Specials 1 and 3 were flash/puppet animated while specials 2 and 4 were actually hand-drawn. Though you can tell that the hand-drawn ones were rushed, especially 4, which doesn't hold a candle to the corresponding season 2 scenes when you compare them. ❤
