the edgy-fication of kids shows [winx club, sabrina, + riverdale] 

Hahaha " no thanks, we don't want to colaborate in your fake stereotypation of us"

And also because they can't make teens have sexy scenes because that would be extra gross and weird.

@月Lua Natsuki Sweet Jesus....

i also feel like that could help get better scripts, these shows are horrid

Sometimes I noticed how the actual teen will be played as the sibling of the teen character who in real life isn’t a teen make it make sense 🤦🏽‍♀️

For this quote alone, I hope some executive at netflix or some sister company finds this vid somehow

Probably because wearing wearing light blue makes them look “too young” and doesn’t fit the whole depressing colour scheme of the entire school

@@foxinandtrottin3943 yeah I get what they were going for but it just doesn't feel like its winx anymore- lol

@@s.m5576 it gives off more of a “trying too hard to be funny and I feel like all the life has been drained out of the energetic fairy characters” vibe

@@s.m5576 bloom outfit in netflix:red dress, red water boot and red jacket just because she's a fire fairy🙄.

That reminds me of how Riverdale dresses Cheryl Blossom in red constantly to the point she says "I OWN red" in a scene (lmfao) when in the comics she primarily wears yellow, teal, white, blue and sometimes pink, I get the "Haha Cheryl = cherry = red" thing they were going for but in the comics she had more of a flower aesthetic (reflecting the Blossom part of her name), almost never a red one. Another character, Veronica Lodge, should have the primarily red palette but then she almost never wears red on that show

I’m not like other girls, I’m a hotdog 😔🤪😉🧐🙂😅😚😚🤣☺️🧐😅

omg-

In all honesty, if you told me that the female leads in every Netflix reboot was based off of r/NotLikeOtherGirls, I'd probably believe you.

She looks like that girl from Tall Girl. You know, the one where she complains about being tall.

Original bloom was the type of girl you'd want to be friends with Reboot bloom is the type of girl you'd want to avoid as much as possible

It sounds like you're joking but that's literally what they did jferjjkg

You hit the nail on the head there 😂

@@KHALI_SEAWEED They are joking, joking while expressing the truth.

“ If you haven’t noticed, *I’m weird* “

@@randomkword i'm a weirdo. I don't fit in and i don't wanna fit in. Have you seen me without this stupid hat on? That's WEIRD.

idk. i remember layla/aisha going blind was TRAUMATISING to me as a kid because of her reaction

Madoka magica: beheads Mami on screen, Homura fighting against the inevitable suffering and death of her best friend, Kyoko being the only survivor of her father's murder suicide, Sayaka going mad and becoming a witch. Sailor moon: that one season where all of Usagi's friends and loved ones die. Magical girl raising project: magical girl battle royal.

Yet they all have cute and colorful aesthetics/characters

Indeed. Take for example Musa and her family. I feel like it would not have had the same impact that it had if the show was a dark and edgy teenage superhero show.

I agree with this. I still remember when I watched it and some hard hitting scenes, because it was on surface level so light hearted. Stella’s parents getting divorced, bloom being adopted and finding out where She came from, Musa and Riven literally being in toxic relationship and on/off, Tecna’s sacrifice, Flora’s sacrifice when saving Miele, Aisha’s and Nabu’s engament and Nabu’s death? So Many things that could be interesting plotlines if you tweak them to fit live action. Still keeping the same sparkly fairy vibe og had. It would feel like Real life but with spice by making them Magic.

That’s actually a really good point. They probably sabotage the main characters relationships because they already destroyed the plot with their “edgy-fying”. They ruined a good show to the point of having to rewrite it completely, but rewriting it so badly that everyone is unlikable and so they have to pit everyone against each other to make it even have anything “interesting”

they honestly should’ve just made it their own show with a different name. like this is nothing like the winx club. especially the characters are aren’t the same cast ethnicity wise.

I KNOW RIGHT!!!

Thank you

Teens liking edgy stuff was more last generation. And most of that generation still likes edgy stuff. So really instead of not reaching their target market, they're accidentally targeting young adults instead. Only problem with that is that it's the same market as the original show, but grown up, and they were intending to draw in a completely new audience. So they also essentially cut their market in half by making it nothing like the original

The only thing I watch is animated childrens shows *ahem* mainly she ra

Pretty much lol, edge works the best with pretty color schemes and likable main characters anyways

I offer myself as stella or bloom( have wigs and clothes for both of them) if someone from spain wants to take the project 🙋🏼‍♀️

@@nessyness5447 I used to have Stellas wig and clothes but the wig got too messy and I grew out the clothes as I had it when I was 5 or 6 and I’m 11 now

@@ed_1thxxi don't know if you mean like an actual kid's costume? , i was not referring to that, the wigs i have are sythetic fiber heat resiliant, i have a blonde one i used for sailor v that can work for stella and an orange one from one piece nami post time skip that would work for bloom. And, as i have clothes in many different styles i like and enjoy character inspired outfits, i have "normal" clothes that can work for stella or bloom combined appropriately. Like maybe not the exact cartoon clothes but in the same colors and style. Then again i am an adult and have been in the world of cosplay for over a decade, so i had time to make a good collection of clothes than can be worn daily or combined into casual cosplay.and wigs...way too many wigs. 🤣🤣

If they can act as well, i agree.

I didnt even recognize the Winx reboot as a Winx reboot. My brain just thought "its just a fairy movie duh" but then I realized and it's not even funny bc I watched Winx, and i didnt even recognize it😔

@@anna4.44 it could have easily been mistaken as an X-men teen show.

@@anna4.44 I did the same thing

Honestly the show would have been fine if it wasn’t connected to Winx.

@@anna4.44 Saw my mom watching a fairy show on Netflix, watched it for a bit, didn't even connect it to WINX until watching this video.

Goth is also a major fashion style too, but other than that you've got it spot on!

@@-ix-3152 the fashion is a part of the subculture which is why I included the subculture as a whole instead of just the dress of many members

Right?! And- this happens in a lot of movies and tv shows in general, not just Netflix- but teenage characters are always portrayed as rebellious, moody, and some are just straight-up hateful for no reason. Like teens in any form of entertainment are always edgy and almost never have an interesting and original backstory.

You should telll netlfix on twitter because this is a really good argument to what netlix is doing

Yes

LMFAO.

Magical girls are edgy, dark or mature with pink

Danganronpa: *laughs in pink/purple blood and Junko Enoshima*

Oh.. My God

Yuki Yuna is a Hero: *giggles in sange and also a pink mc*

Exactly, like look at K-12, it has a *very* colorful aesthetic and scheme, yet it still has mature dark themes

I am starved of colour, winx was so bright cause its meant to seem magical and from another world. I swear your average college campus is more saturated than this

Even recent shows like euphoria know this. It's even darker than fate but they dont shy away from colorful scenes and inventive clothing (with helps even more that when shit hits the fan you see the darker atmosphere and goes "oh shit")

Plot twist : he is having an extremely bad LSD trip

@@Dragon_prince90 yes. Just yes.

@@cjc689 mate, I want some .

*Depressed detective, that sounds familiar*

Nah, innacurate. To be a true Netflix reboot, you need more *S E X S C E N E S,* preferrably with underaged characters who are played by 30 year olds so no one can call the writers out for being pedophiles. Because surely a show can't be mature without it, right?

I think they took away the wings because it would have been too expensive 😄

Actually they did add wings, but only at the end, as a "Bloom has unlocked the ancient powers of the fairies" thing. And the fire CGI was actually not bad at all. The trailers made it look awful, but all the CGI was actually really well done in the show itself

@@ScoptOriginal Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me. I honestly think the CGI in the first 2-3 episodes were not good but I'm sure it got better in the later episodes that I wasn't bothered to watch.

@@pola8687 which is the reason in general for everything to be so dark and edgy. Is cheaper and is easier. The burn ones are easier and cheaper to do than a troll or ogre. The dark ambience makes editing easier, etc. Netflix is lazy and cheap

@@pola8687 netflix has millions of dollars it’s not an expense problem. their just lazy and want to take the cheap route to just get a cash squeeze out of whatever their adapting.

@@paleghost1487 I'm just saying I don't really like emojis, but keep going if you want to.

Well, I don’t know about you but I'd like a magical girl show where there’s an actual logical explanation about where their magic comes from and how it works, instead of just: “it's magic it doesn’t need to make sense”

@@freshcupofangst we need this

Exactly!!! Even if the story was dark and edgy, that doesn't mean the palette color and outfits should all be gray and black. A story can be dark, horrible, soulless, while having a great costume design that actually goes along with the character's personality and helps the story telling.

PASTEL G · O · R · E Idk it just came to my mind XD

Yes! In fact, some of my favorite "mature" shows are animated and have bright color palettes. The Dragon Prince, for example, manages to be incredible and legitimately mature, while still being a somewhat cutesy-styled animation about Scottish elves and lightning magic.

It’s why all the cute horror anime’s are terrifying, and the grungy ones are just bad and not good at all

Deviantart dark, that's what I'm calling these live-action snorefests

tbh the chilling adventures of sabrina created interesting female characters without taking away their feminine traits.

Ikr. They tried to make "strong female characters" but really they were so the "main-character-whos-not-like-other-girls-also-im-edgy" type

Once again She-ra proves to be the one outlier. They have feminine leads that are great strong characters!

Im a weak girly girl and i don't mind

Yeah Lots of shows I watched growing up pretty much taught me that being girly is dumb and you can’t be respected if you are, the old “I’m not like other girls” thing, And unfortunately I acted like that for the brunt of my childhood and refused to admit to people that I did have a girly side, I thought it was considered a dumb thing to have, thankfully I don’t have that habit anymore, but it is very damaging and sad to see being taught.

Lol I'm a cheerful and nice punk, so get you

the only form of media that shows teenagers good is anime they aren't edgy and are full of personality trust me you won't cringe unless you suspend your disbelief

I thought I was alone when I started laughing at a snake in a sweater

I seen Wolfwalkers too! Man I love Cartoon Saloon with their own unique art style and takes on Irish folklore💚 🤍🧡

well I'm a teenager and I will write edgy dark poetry and buy emo clothing but I have also done all of the above

And it was out of context, like ....poor guy was just offering to help a new student to find her way around the school.that's not mansplaining, is called being nice to new students

Somewhat feminine things: exists Netflix: *What is this filth?*

Strong female characters who are also girly and feminine: *exist* Netflix: Impossible! Perhaps the archives are incomplete?

yeah it's super confusing bc they try as hard as they can to make the new shows liberal, but then they strip away any sign of uniqueness and femininity and diversity. I dunno if that made any sense, but what I'm trying to say is that I have no idea who these shows are supposed to appeal to ://

Honestly, there’s a lot of anime such as Madoka Magica, Yuuki Yuna, and even Sailor Moon which are all dark at times but use a lot of pink. Also, Elfen Lied is dark but the main character has pink hair. If anything though I prefer dark series that are well written which is why I like anime a lot!

Like giving people edgey, dark personalities is just a cop out for actually writing a decent character at this point.

@@thejazzy6012 Their character reflects their effort. The writers probably went through wattpad and slapped on whatever bottom of the barrel "relatable" content for teenagers they find.

@@alpha_jasperflair1097 exactly bruh like teens aren't even like how the characters in the show act. yes we are somewhat edgy, but not 24/7 and not everyone is. most of us are just normal kids that wanna make friends and get through school. and hell, I love being childish and girly, but im almost 16. apparently netflix thinks teens are just depressed adults that go to school for some reason

@@monbub The girls in the show are 16! Every 16 year old I knew and my past self were chill. Some are anxty at most, why has teenage anxt become deep, last time I checked teens dont even think its something super cool and edgey

netflix is allergic to color

exactly Winx club touched on a lot of darker subjects while being bright and colorful a lot of kid shows manage to do it Adventure Time, Teen Titans, Avatar the last Airbender, etc

When you look at things like the movie Avatar ( not the ATLA one the actual avatar movie) and stuff and you just realize that older movies are better than newer ones

I mean I was emo as a teen and still loved Sailor moon, W.I.T.C.H, Hamtaro, and other similar things.

Winx club was the perfect mix of dark and colorful.. I mean, they literally killed one of the characters through out the show, treats and explains dark or horror topics like: genocide(ex. Bloom's past), toxic relationships (Musa and Riven, Valtor and the Trix, Stella's parents), passive aggressive behavior (Riven's anger issues), manipulation (Vilains did that quite often, surely you remember), trauma(My God, so many characters with traumas like Musa my bb 😭) , LITERALLY MYTHOLOGICAL HORROR MONSTERS THAT RAPED WOMEN IN THEIR SLEEP (very very old episode where the Trix summon a incubus and allows the incubus to haunt the winx), child neglect(Somewhat resembles Aisha's trauma, i definetely remember something else similar to child neglect but i can't remember), body shame (The enchantix serie where Stella becomes a monster and Brandon loves her passionately despite her appearance), disability (Alot of characters without wings that were bullied for it, like Musa's world princess), slavery(I mean almost all the vilains did that so), WAR(MULTIPLE TIMES) , LITERAL APOCALYPSE SCENARIOS (aka the first serie *cough cough* the enchantix serie) , envy (Surely you see where I'm coming from), revenge wishes (literally the main topic in the believix serie). I could go on and on, I only talked about the first 4 seasons. This is why i openly tell people I still watch and love this show. I watched it since when I was 4, and it was created in my country so i have basically everything regard it. Edit: Spelling

Legit the show had scarier moments because it was so lighthearted. so when it took that turn you became terrified for both the characters and yourself. Technic nightmare from the dream demon episode freaking terrifying an existentialist as shit.

Haha

And they made Flora white!

and techna doesn't exist

Exactly!!!!

my childhood is officially ruined ;_;

Ikr

Honestly, just looking at Netflix's version of Riven... Yeah, they really try to appeal to their idea of teens and YAs. "Let's make this character super edgy, alcoholic and, OF COURSE, he loves weed!" Ew.

@@empty-voiid who doesnt love weed

But also, WHO is this appealing to? I watched the original Winx, I'm in the target demographic for this show, but why on earth would I want to see desaturated edgy versions of my favorite characters? I also don't know anyone who is snarky and annoying like that in real life, because most real humans actually try to be nice to people!

What's kinda silly is that the targeted audience is young adults, but young adults cringe and only teenagers like it

Nostalgia: this is a kids show Netflix: but what if we gave everyone severe depression, kept them underage, but completely focused on their sex lives

Oh god, they'll pull a Light Turner on her too lol

Saban Moon flashback

Sailor Moon, a manga which loses its own anime adaption in every way. I mean, crystal is unwatchable.

There was an attempt to “Americanize” Sailor Moon before it came to the US, ironically. One of RebelTaxi’s videos covers it briefly.

@@ЕкатеринаСеренкова That’s a matter of opinion. 😅 I personally prefer Crystal over the 90’s anime adaptation, in most aspects.

Litteraly and its not like some edgy shit isn't nice some times its just that this overabundance of it makes it feel cringy and uncomfortable.

The only shirts I wear are hoodies so like yeah where are they

@@lemon967 Exactly. its the fact that you can tell they're trying too hard to be edgy that just makes it unwatchable

We need some big oversized sweaters and leggings people!! What kinda teenager actually tried most of the time??? Like, maybe once a month they can dress up trendy and how the like , but let’s be real I’m not gonna try more then once a month

maybe it's just casting parts, like about who is more talented because if they stay true to their character race shouldn't matter, but to the untrained eye it's just classic white washing.

Pink's a _colour_ for goodness' sake, what's the problem with liking it?

Seriously, I'm not that feminine, but I have history inspired wardrobe that's kinda preppy and girly (skirts, dresses, pinafores, poofy sleeves, blouses, and frills). I used to be the type that was against anything girly (god forbid I had to wear a skirt when I was 14) and now I want to smack my old self for hating anything pink/red and anything that wasn't pants and hoodie just because it was too "girly."

@@SugiyamaHiromin I was similar as I think a ten-year-old, I absolutely despised pink, but now the problem with pink for me is more that people use bright/neon pink which in my opinion looks disgusting, and I'm fine with pink as long as it looks nice and doesn't burn my eyes out.

@@Hyacinth-Blue I'm not that comfy in pink (only certain warm shades like peach, rose and dusty pink cause my skin is warm toned) but I can appreciate how it looks and actually use it along with warm reds. Neons tend to look better on people who are more flashy and modern (as opposed to my old style) and have cold skin tone.

I never really liked pink when I was younger, but my style definitely has some feminine edge to it. Finding me in something that doesn't include a skirt or a dress is very very rare, and I don't mind ruffles and elaborate stuff so long as it's not uncomfortable and doesn't get in the way of me living my life. (I'm sensitive to touch.) The coloration is admittedly very cool- blues and greens and grays dominate my wardrobe- but that's more because cool colors contrast my red hair better.

Lmao

In my opinion they made sabrina better its a REALLY good show and very entertaining

I remember reading old Archie comics in 3rd grade, they were really funny and I loved them so when Riverdale came out, I was shocked and very confused when I heard it was supposed to be Archie

Dude I read archie comics and even though I have not watched it I have heard river dale is nothing like the comic and wins is still a show I really like and I’m not excited for the live action one ( don’t know if I’ll watch it ever)

@@raylen162 it was super good and it kinda started sucking around season 2-3... it’s definitely better than riverdale but that last season was nothing compared to the first

I am not old enough to have read the comics. My mom was a big fan of Sabrina. When I was like 9 the old cartoons were on Netflix. So the franchise was really important to me. Sabrina is supposed to be fun loving and troublesome girl. She isn’t supposed to worship the devil.

I know it’s been years but, WHAT HAPPENED!?

Modern feminism has a problem with femininity, they even attack it. It’s okay if a boy wants to be feminine and girly and that’s getting rid of toxic masculinity but if a woman wants to do what’s natural to a woman then that’s a problem.

@@Animelover540 soecity is just 🗑 Not all but yea

@@CleBiscuits u spoke facts

I'm a guy, I watched Winx Club as a kid and I liked it for the most part. I think totally Spies was more my thing, but just because it looks "girly" doesn't make it unattractive. I actually hated a lot of the "boy" shows because it made me feel like my entire sex was nothing but idiots who could only smash things or be nerdy and techy. I look at shows like this Winx and I'm just confused. Why is it bad for women to be feminine? Feminine doesn't mean weak, its just the opposite to masculine, which doesn't mean strong. They're different for a reason, but it doesn't mean that they are negative towards another. Now, would it be a little weird if they went all power rangers/magical girl with over the top transformations? yeah it'd be weird in a live action show. But that doesn't mean they have to go full on.....whatever this is.

I liked that the original Winx club let all the girls make their own mistakes without bloom or whoever being like "oh well you're boy crazy how stupid" they were supportive and that's what shows about female friendship should be about. I think its really popular for society to shit on things young girls like and then because of that so much media aimed at teen girls is about rejecting traditional feminine things in order to "grow up" I really appreciated that the show didn't act like its aesthetics hindered its exploration of its characters. like the new show is like "girl power.....but like you know only if your serious and dark....we cant have bloom flying around in fairy outfit that'd be childish.

Yea I’m with you. I wanted an actual Winx show about girls from different backgrounds and fashion aesthetics learn to love each other and support each other. This show had an extreme amount of potential because I think people are sick of the dark, depressing, toxic relationship that really make no sense, especially what been happening this past year. People are more incline to watch a more positive show, super colorful and positive friendship. Which is what I was hoping for and needing. Well Netflix screwed up and it’s not surprising at all.

@@lunagrace2872 I hope Tv and movies are gonna get over their grim dark phase, or at least that the aesthetic of grimdark is the only aesthetic that can be used to tell "adult stories"

If they wanted to make it more adult, all they had to do was add a bit of complexity to some plot points and characters (though Winx Club was already pretty good on that level) and take out some or a lot of the repetitiveness. They really switched the whole show and all of its original and fantastic charm instead. 🙄 I would have loved to watch a live action Winx if it was done right. What a shame.

@Darling Vexa Art I feel like there is, especially in a world where good original ideas are harder and harder to come by. Remaking a show from someone's childhood and making it a more mature version that speaks more to those people grown up is an alright business model. However, I'm fine with our opinions disagreeing. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Yes, taking a darker, sometimes more real look at childhood favorites can be amazing. This just ain't it cheif

@@elliedove7899 Never said it was it, chief

Literally just make a new show. If the only thing that stays the same is the names you would be better off just changing those as well.

@@SamJ.J. Shows like these remind me of fanfiction, where sometimes the only thing that stays the same are the names. And I like fanfiction. I have no issue with this show other than the unnecessary "woke" ness and dramatization

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a very good anime for that. It deals with dark themes (such as hopelessness, depression, grieving etc) but the character's designs are all cute and colorful (Madoka literally wears the poofiest pink and white dress EVER with tons of bows lol). I think you should check it out, tho idk if it's on Netflix.

Late to the party but "Princess Tutu" is unapologetically girly while also being dark and dramatic. Give it a go because its criminally underrated c:

Oh my god.. I’m never watching that.

And then they said...techna doesn’t exist

Flora it even in the show the girl that in it her name is terra or something like that and she Flora's cousin as she said to in the fish episode I believe

@@AzucarPeas they didn't!!!

I was so sad. I love Musa and seeing her as a fary that dosen't even has her real powers

They're gonna make them all ketamine addicts.

Seems like that would be a little weird in live action, ngl

MAN

Lol strawberry cow 😂😂😂

Don’t you know all modern shows have to insert toxic feminism and toxic femininity to be relevant. Because all women, especially strong independent women act that way.

@@Animelover540 it’s never even _trying_ to be feminism, it’s like white feminism but take out any progressive topics.

@@oonooooooooo it is trying to be feminism

I do agree, it's just so different from the original show...It could have just been a show on itself, honestly. BUT. It is a re-imagine after all. And the show is actually pretty good. It isn't some sort of masterpiece lol, but it is entertaining, and overall, has a solid story, worldbuilding and characters... :/

Same-

Making Winx Club darker and edgier is just as bad as making Thomas the Tank Engine lighter and softer. I was horrified by both reboots.

@@Corgipon 😆

Me too. I was like "Why couldn't they just leave winx alone?"

My gosh this is true, I’m making a comic and pray it turns into an animated show but never a live action one lol

@Morgan Smith awwwww thank you so much! That’s so sweet of you!

FUCK BOB, we don't want your ""COMMON SENSE"" IN HERE, YOU'RE FIRED. JIMMY, YOU'RE HIRED.

@@dum.. Hahaha XD

@@JC_artz I would love to see it

Well... they're not wrong. Teens do have a tendency to get easily attracted to edgy stuff. Whether they realize it or not.

@@bored_potato yeah, i guess you're right.

@@bored_potato me who’s 14 and still enjoys my little pony: *haha-*

@@millyhearts Imagine if they made an adaptation on my little pony :0

@@bugs1930 that would be terrifying

Well, some edgy teens 18-20 yolds, who are into riverdale are defending it.but overall, yeah, no one likes it

@@nessyness5447 girl I love riverdale, and I’m older than that. But this looks like shit.

@@beautifullEternal when you say you love riverdale you say like for real or for poking fun at it because of how ridiculous it is? Because i have a friend who watches it just to laught at how badly is written and i can understand that .

This ruined my childhood I loved winx

I hate riverdale and i like the show its just not winx they should change the name to something else bc its just not winx

She-Ra: magical girl lesbians Teens and adults: *Y E S*

Dragon prince: gay rights. PERIODT (none of the main characters are gay, well not that we know of the CORRECT representation is there!! Especially 2ith one of the main characters and the king both being black

Kipo was so wonderful 😭

@@Bugsuxks and the main character being half Asian :)

@@ampersandcastle1091 i didn't know that- yesssss ro diversity!!!

Yes! And stupid fucking race changes

Exactly, they alr make them to were you can barely recognize it as a reboot. I didnt even notice the Winx reboot was based off Winx bc it was SO FAR OFF from the original plot. They already dont make it like the original so they should just make a completely different show.

Because it 2021 progressiveness

@Mary Moon it's a lot of talking and not showing. And even then you gotta show it correctly. You see a female main character running to save a child in danger even though she has no powers? That's empowering. You see a female main protagonist being condescending to that one character the writers want you to feel annoyed with but ended up being more sympathetic and relatable towards? That's not empowering, that's being a jerk.

@@devilslayer3548 ah yes, "2021 progressiveness", like whitewashing your poc leads.

when i first saw connie i didnt expect it to get that dark because of how cute she was how wrong i was

That’s a lotta damage-

@@lapinamagica4217 ikr-

Yup except im technically a child rn so no childhood for me :)

omg hanako

Ikr me and my mom were watching sabrina (the remake) and eventually she didnt let me even watch the show because its so like bad for my age, especially compared to the original (Sabrina the Teenage witch) like why do they take a kids show and reboot it just to make it TV 14 like, what is the point then?!

Yeah I agree sadly

@@Bobojonwon yeah I really liked the Archie comic books when I was little so when I watched the show remake I was really disappointed (my dad gave them to me lol). And when I saw the first episode of winx which was the definition of my childhood I was just so very disappointed.

this is why they should’ve just named it something else. it isn’t accurate to the original.

Techna was seriously my fav character!!

Glitter Force is bad in a completely different way haha

Glitter force was so mind numbingly sweet and happy it was actually kinda bad lmao, atleast with smile there was SOME dark undertones

Smile: Precure was a bit more darker. It also had a different moral. It taught kids to be happy and still have hope. Even when something bad happens.

@Rulaani Vine it IS.. it was one of the first animes i watched, i was like in lower school when it came out XD

@Rulaani Vine ugh i remember when i learned the dances to the endings XD. We watched it at my 15th birthday party just for lolz and when i tell you that EVERYONE REMEMBERED tHE DANCES

I hope we collectively agree to boycott netflix if anything as atrocious as a totally spies or atla reboot ever happens. I'm gonna go rewatch it on RU-vid now :)

I was just thinking that. If that happens we're not going out without a fight 🤺

NO, DONT-

And H20 just add water

Don't give them ideas, that would be an abomination

YESS

Ayyy

yESSS

Eyyyu

@@daharrisfam4576 ijooiò

Yeah, and acting like man isn't bad, we are ALWAYS given barbies and shit. Honestly I wish they did what She Ra with Scorpa where she was nice and friendly but kicked ass. Would also help if us girls had a choice of toys instead of given a Barbie doll and getting an ED

@@Bugsuxks ED?

@Hana Belle I remember watching the boy shows with my brothers, they had only if I thought the female was strong and kick ass.

@@bluelfsuma eating disorder

@@Bugsuxks Ah, okay. I looked "ED" up and the first thing that came up was erectile dysfunction, haha.

Netflix didn’t make the movie tho That explains a *lot*

They put Dora in a more realistic world and it was hilarious.

Yes

There is also W.I.T.C.H

NO NO NO NO THEY BETTER NOT RUIN THE REST OF THEM IF THEY IM GOING TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

Shhhhh! Netflix will hear your fear and create it into a raunchy edgy remake

@@harleyquinn7708 oof oh sorry ;-;

Thank you for this. I swear everyone forgot about that

Which explains why is the only "gone dark" show that is decent and makes sense.

For me is at one hand they say ooooh witches and humans should be friends the stereotypes are wroooooong and on the other hand they turn witches into horrifing murder cannibalistic creatures that terrorise the town which validates the salem trials

netflix thinks they dont sell well. but give me everything ya got

Exactly they wont ever be the same as the animated version no matter how hard you try. They're nist never as good
