As a kid, I used to get up at 6 am every day just to watch a Winx episode before going to school. It was one of my favourite cartoons.
I didn't expect this series to be good, or to follow the original material closely, but I also didn't expect this level of disrespect and edginess.
My childhood memories literally shrivelled up and died when I heard Winx characters talking about vaping, weed, kill counts, meth, drinking, threesomes... I don't have problems with that stuff, I'm not a worrying mother, but this was originally a kids show and it seems so wrong to have characters who shaped my young self participate in a drug fueled orgy. It could almost be funny if the show didn't take itself so seriously.
I don't understand why was Tecna excluded, she was always my favourite. They changed races of the characters, their powers. Musa is not an "empath", she's a music fairy. And for an "empath" she isn't empathetic at all. Stella isn't Regina George, she was always a bit aloof but caring. There's no transformations, no wings (in a show literally called Winx), they don't even drive those floating cars :(
The main point of Winx was always friendship, and I see none of it here. I understand that they wanted to make something different, a "dark" Winx spinoff for more mature audiences, and it could maybe somewhat succeed if they kept the elements that make Winx what it is.
