Winx Reboot Notes Episode 10

- “Stella’s New Crush.” CAN WE PLEASE GET CREATIVE WITH THESE TITLES. PLEASE.

- I wanna like Flora’s potion briefcase, but I do not.

- “You always scowl when something’s wrong.” Yes, Musa, and most people cry when they’re sad.

- “The Dragon Flame is just a legend.” Oh no. Is this gonna be like RWBY going “There’s no such thing as magic”?

- Wait, but Domino only fell 16 years ago. That’s nothing. Which means there was a Dragon Flame wielder barely over a decade ago. That’s not long enough for something to slip into legend!

- “The most powerful power you can have!” I… I give up.

- “We have each other’s backs, no matter what!” WHY ARE Y’ALL ACTING LIKE BESTIES???

- The way we’ve only seen one glimpse of Redfountain up until this point.

- “Prince Luke” is giving surfer-dude Sky.

- Okay, I like this subplot of Stella being worried about dating a non-prince because of her parents. I did love Stella’s confidence in their love in the original after the Sky reveal, but I do feel like things like this can make for interesting conflicts.

- Why did Damien need the wind to open the door before teleporting? What was the point of that?

- Why did Vexius wait this long to train Damien with his magic? What’s the point of kidnapping him and raising him as your own if you’re not gonna take full advantage of that?

- No establishing shot of Redfountain… okay, sure.

- Why are the Winx acting like these episodes are new? Y’all wore them already on the camping trip.

- The way they haven’t introduced us to or even mentioned Saladin and Codatorta yet. If you didn’t know the show… well, you’d already be hopelessly confused, but you wouldn’t know who the hell these two are.

- Oh god, Flora’s skirt when she’s crouched looks horrible. It looks so stiff and badly deformed.

- Saladin’s voice is TERRIBLE. It’s giving fake old man voice.

- “She reminds me of something.” Do Faragonda and Griffin not talk to Saladin at all? Have they not told him about Bloom having the Dragon Flame? Cuz if so… the Domino thing would be EVEN MORE OBVIOUS.

- Time for an awkwardly place, dated online dating PSA! Seriously, this is giving ‘90s stranger danger. What boomer wrote this?

- The way I want Bloom and Brandon to be actual friends so bad. Like, can we get more friendships between Winx and specialists who aren’t dating?

- Why is Stella wearing this cheap-ass plastic crown?

- “You’re the one who tripped over that trashcan!” Okay that was cute.

- Is the bouncer supposed to be the Trix’s monster in disguise?

- God I miss Knut.

- Okay, Bloom’s joke about the front and back doors was genuinely funny, and felt like… dare I say? 4Kids Bloom.

- Did they just propel the monster into space? It looked very bad.

- Brandon… tearing his pants. Okay then. I ain’t touchin’ this.

- Okay, so this is basically the “Date with Disaster” episode, but retooled… and worse. I mean, I guess it makes sense that the Trix wanna use Stella as a hostage to get the Dragon Flame.

- STOP WITH THE FUCKING TRIX SONG, OH MY GOD.

- Icy, you can’t just make an ice spear and then do nothing with it and then never do it again!!!

- “Guys, look out!” Usually you say that if someone doesn’t see an attack coming. All three of y’all were standing right in front of her.

- And Brandon’s pants were magically fixed offscreen.

- “Try your moves from this morning!” That felt very Dora the Explorer coded.

- That was such a slow-moving fireball…

- The vines aren’t even touching the Trix, yet they’re acting completely trapped.

- ENOUGH WITH THE PSA STUFF. OH MY GOD. WHO IS THIS FOR?!

- I wanna like this Stella subplot so bad.

- Oh, the random bad-fade white boi is here… they’re really gonna force him and Aisha together, aren’t they? F in the chat for Nabu… oh, and Helia, I guess.

- Does he even have a name???

- Why did Vexius’ hair go from gray to black suddenly?
