W.I.T.C.H. Deserved Better 

I never liked the style of Winx Club. I tried getting into it last month, but the soft magic system and rather juvenile depiction of what a high school life is (I mean, the cast is tasked with preparing a dance party ON THEIR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, where the first years are just supposed to organize and execute without even knowing each other and they still manage to pull it off) have kept me from enjoying it. I see Winx Club as too laser focused on being the show for girls, while WITCH, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon and most shoujo anime and manga like Aoharaido target the female audience but still manage to capture the male audiences as well because of how strong the writing is. So, yeah, WITCH wins for me.

Same. Although the Nickelodeon version of Winx Club is what I started with

Winx was a bit more childish to me, so I never liked it and the artstyle was not my fav

WITCH is my favorite childhood show, but I barely watched any Winx episodes, they bored me every time they were on. I also don't personally like the art style for Winx, nothing seemed like a serious threat and there were too many characters for me. Another reason, and a bit embarrassing one to remember now, is that I liked that WITCH was less explicitly girly. I was a tomboy and while now I definitely love lots of pink, cutesy, "girly" things, I surely had my "I'm not like other girls" phase. I didn't care about colorful outfits and backgrounds, I just wanted to see superpowered girls fighting creepy monsters.

​@@vuivraalbastra I don't think it's neccessary to be embarrassed about that. A lot of the shows that were targeted to girls during that time were often very feminine and hit a lot of the stereotypes of what girls are supposed to like and witch was one of the few shows that offered something bit different. I never really vibed with winx either because it just felt like "you are a girl so this is what you should like" type of thing and it just wasn't for me. Witch was the first time I actually identified with the female characters in the content I consumed, before that I always liked the boy characters more because they seemed more relatable to me.

Yeah. It was pretty popular in Russia, whenever I mention the franchise while I'm hanging out with a group of young adults, there is somebody new to encourage a lively discussion about it!

In Portugal it was all over the place too! Every girl that I remember, loved it! I had all of my school stuff from witch 😜

Omg yessss. In France everyone was obsessed

Here in Indonesia the comics and the girly extras published in one magazine! The magazine also showed things like zodiac stuffs, Hay Lin's fashion style, and every girl's bedrooms (and they were ✨ GOALS ✨)

same in Poland! I remember buying almost all the comic books and magazines :D

Oh god i loved Jetix

@@CatAunt202 I hated Jetix at first because it replaced Fox Kids. Later on I started to like it and then it got replaced by DisneyXD lmfao

RIP Jetix, it died before my eyes

It was on jetix on the U.S. too. I miss jetix.

Oh same in Mexico! I was actually confused because I didn't remember watching this show on Disney so I guess for all Latin America it was also broadcasted on JetiX

Thank you I was thinking the same thing! It never bothered me if they made it intentionally more appealing to boys, because it was appealing to ME. The characters looked like very NORMAL 13 year-olds, for god's sake, that's how old I was and that's how I looked when I read the comics too. I just remember identifying with some aspects of each of the characters as a kid - not a child but not a ~girl (especially not a woman) yet, just a _kid_ . They were feminine enough when they changed but also their witch clothes still remained practical and dare I say, Cornelia was just... classy in both forms with her pinstraight hair. So was Taranee, I adored her nerdy style too. _And_ Will and Irma, and of course Hay Lin was very unique with her bubbly yet soft character. Who's to say what is feminin 'enough'? I think the _point_ of the five girls was that each of them represented a range of femininity and I loved them the way they were. Everyone knows puberty is a whole entire MESS anyway, but we tend to forget.

At the time of the comics (early 2000') wearing jeans was the absolute norm for girls in Italian high schools (actually it had been for decades). The comics simply reflects the ongoing fashion of the time.

As a guy who had picked up the books, I read it as a novel which seems to not be the norm here, I enjoyed it for the story and characters. I did notice that it had female protagonists, but that never stopped me

Exactly how I felt! A show for tomboys

I think the same in the early 2000 shows for girls were girly, nothing wrong with it but it was nice to have a show were it could be both. Show duality

Word.

Ginger appreciation month.

You will pry my redhead protagonist syndrome from my COLD DEAD HANDS

Hi wich cast English dub both 3 watch please all episode 1 dub online watch cartoon Inuyasha in the final all episode 1 dub online watch cartoon Inuyasha demon half all episode 1 dub online watch cartoon Inuyasha hime princess Inuyasha witch back soon

Will was always my favorite. Love this show and Kim Possible.

Yeah i feel like the fandoms are like arch nemisis of each other lel.

@@3rebella I know and it’s crazy. We can all love both shows.

@@Lboogie0711 ikr

Just as good? It's far superior.

@@NonStopKnocks Ok I’ll admit that W.i.t.c.h had more lore and fantasy elements but there was something about winx club that made it so much more different. Winx were more fashionable and the transformations were different each season, with witch you had a story plot for the first season then in season 2 the girls had to face off against a former guardian! I think that Nickelodeon should make more witch seasons just like they did with winx club. But with better writers of course. #renewWITCH

Waw ! Thank you for the info ! (What a useless change btw, I hate that so much.)

I get you Same thing happened with a Mean Girls line, specifically when Tina Fey's character (forgot her name) says "we got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just make guys to think it's ok to call you sluts and whores"; in the Spanish dub they changed it a little and the character says: "we got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It's guys who should call you sluts and whores". Like, ?? Although I read somewhere that in the Spanish dub she uses a sarcastic tone when saying that phrase, it still was an unnecessary change

From the Hungarian dub it translates to something loosely similar as the Italian, I guess the English translators were more misogynistic

I know I'm very late to comment, but the cartoon was written in and voiced English first and then translated so the original line is the misogynistic line, and the Italian writers noticed it was misogynistic and changed it to something better

How is the English line misogynist ? How does Not wanting women not to worry themselves translate to misogyny. Idk if you know but misogyny means “ a hatred of women”. The English line only acknowledges that in times of turmoil and strife men are better suited for combat. I believe all of history and basic human biology shows us this.

I honestly one of the people who don't realize the wicth was a comic book

Same! I grew up borrowing the comics from my local library, the cartoon kinda disappointed me as a kid

EXACTLY

Same! Maybe it differs depending on the country. In Denmark the comics were bigger than the show.

@@AlekPixi Oh same here. I'm from Norway, so maybe you're right! :o

So that wasn’t just a thing Mary and the Witch’s Flower made up?

@@harmonetheanimationaddict4419 no it’s in a lot of witch lore and that’s what lead to things like Mary and the witches flower but also the scarlet witch and why in aloy of shows about protagonist the show stars a red headed woman

wanda: i know thats fucking right

@@harmonetheanimationaddict4419 red headed witches has been a thing for a long time, that's why religious people (way back when) thought they didn't have souls, because they made deals with the devil to become that powerful

Gingers always gotta make themselves special. We get melanin you get to be the most powerful witches

Winx should’ve ended after season 5 and I will DIE ON THAT HILL

@@djuannalester4743 I rather liked Mythix though. 😔💔

@@Yuunarichu me too. It could’ve been used in a spin off form. I always write S6 onward as a spin-off. They graduate Alfea, bloom and sky finally get married, Stella becomes queen of Solaria, and the gang gets mythix.

Right !!!!

I mean I love winx but damn W.i.t.c.h deserve to comeback

Omg same as an italian😩

I loved it sooo much I was so sad when I found out that it wasn't a thing in Britain (where I lived half the time as a Anglo-Italian kid.)

??? I just found out; by accident; that you cant write another, more commonly used word for autistic people anymore! You can only say autistic people anymore, you cant leave the 'people'-part and use an S at the end!! Is this just my PC bugging out?! Can someone self-test and check, please? RU-vid cant be so insane to make this a No-No-Word, can they??!

@@loturzelrestaurant no one is even talking about this in this comment section

@@loturzelrestaurant Welcome in the not-so-new-world where you can't say whatever the fck you want anymore. There are even more common words than this one that you can't use if not, RU-vid bot just nicely erases your comment. ^^ We were spared for a while on Pinterest. Not anymore... 🙄

I was thinking about smth similar, how Will's emotional dismanagement is not so typical when you characterize a girl in fiction. Myself, I am a trans boy, and she greatly normalized for me that someone in feminine body as I had can have this sort of sheltered emotional life and then tantrums of stubborn behavior, and not be a pariah. Same goes for other girls, their behavioral quirks made them real people, not just a symbol of idealized version of teen femininity at that time.

​@@eleberethe8120Same. I'm also a trans guy and loved the w.i.t.c.h. comics as a kid exactly because the characters were relatable. I never thought of it as something that's only for girls even though it was marketed that way.

They are just normal girls , dont bring "tomboy" to this ,i think u have a probleme

​@@eleberethe8120 they were normal girls not like the misoginy society want girl to be .

I still find Winx Club's clothes awful, they are too sexual, so yeah, I like WITCH better

This deserves the "I'm in this picture and I don't like it" meme 😂

I also thought Cornelia was my fav and I couldn’t figure out why! I’m now bi af and it all makes sense lmao

Same

Oh man, same

but why is this me?

The Winx Club Life Action Show is a Disgrace on 'Last Airbender'-Level. On 'Mulan 2020'-Level. You know what Level i mean... you know... Back then, the Winx Cartoon and the Witch-Cartoon were on the same Level and Witch was arguably better; but with the current Version of Winx Club, there is o comparison anymore: It fell HARD. And the Life Action Thing is even beyond that... So yeah, we obviously need a True-to-the-Cartoon and not-woke Remake. Modern tech makes it, but the soul is the same as it was, cause Dragonball-Evolution and so much more Nonsense has proven that ripping out the Soul of a Franchise is a bad idea - DUH!

WHAT?! All life in lie 😭

For me, comic book W. I. T. C. H. ended in magic book and Cedric return arc. After that, creators made a horrible decisions about plot (Matt becoming teacher of guardians, and magic bus school, ugh). Taranee has actually a good character development when she refuse to be a Guardian and her problematic relationship with her mother and Nigel. I didn't understand what happen to her - she likes photography in first comics, why creators turned her interest into dancing? Nigel's character is actually good and Taranee sacrifice a lot of nerves and home wars to be with Nigel - screw it, give Taranee a new boyfriend from nowhere. And Taranee for me isn't adopted - this arc was made for only worthless drama.

Oh wow I never knew that.

@@soulrio I didn't even know of the arcs after the first one. I assumed Elyon getting her magic and Meridian being fixed was the end, and it was a good end imo. I guess they were forced to continue the plot

WITCH received poor ratings within the United States. One major reason is because the show was aired on ABC Kids. Because WITCH didn't meet Educational/Informative requirements, it had to be aired at 12pm, which is a bad time slot. By US federal law, TV stations must air at least three hours of E/I programs per week. Because of low ratings, there was little advertising revenue and very low merchandise sales in the USA. Had it been aired on The Disney Channel on a regular basis instead if weekend afternoons it might gave earned better ratings. Most Americans have no awareness of the WITCH property. A reboot mixing the best elements if the comics and the best of the original animated series on Disney Plus would be best.

@Outsider12 I stand by what I said. If you watch the original Animated Series and compared it to the comic issues they are different in alot of ways and in my opinion and in the opinions of many many others the Animated Series was better. The characters have much better personalities and the character development is much better compared to the comic issues that the Animated Series is based off of. And another thing to consider is I'd say more people knew about the Animated Series then the comics because Television can reach much large audiences then the comics so to me canceling it just meant that the whole W.I.T.C.H. franchise was hurt. Disney could of totally kept this series going and had they it would of just gotten more popular. Another thing is Disney payed for Season 3 during the Season 2 and still canceled it the proof of this is simple they ended Season 2 by showing the Computer Teacher to the girls at the last minute this was a big signal that a third season was coming. SIP Animation wouldn't of ended Season 2 the way they did had they known Disney was out right canceling W.I.T.C.H. after just two Seasons. Many of the rumors I heard about W.I.T.C.H said that Disney payed for Season 3 during the halfway point of Season 2. The bottom line to me is Disney didn't do as much as they could to keep this Animated Series going and they used ratings as an excuse for canceling it... the best way they could fix this is to make a third season based off the original two Seasons of the Animated Series and bring back as many of the original voice actors and writers as possible. Have a good day...

They should give the ending the girls need!

I’m absolutely agree with u!

DEW IT!

Is that competition I see 👀

@@SOLO.DANDELION may the best one win 👁👄👁

Please succeed!

Thank you for your service!

Why is it not on Disney Plus

@Erwin Lii oh but the World of Winx id absolutely worth the watch. I got lost on winx club after the 4th season (but still watched it cuz nostalgia & giggles) but World of Winx is more action and no boys other than chasing enemies back-to-back on 2 seasons straight. For both Winx & WITCH tho, I love both these shows due to their differences (Winx for lighter colourful childhood & WITCH for action packed mystery lore) but I'd have to say their I prefer their magazines more (esp for WITCH I collected SOOOO many of Winx & WITCH magazines it's not a joke)

@@OmiOmislysolofficial omg I hated the fourth season. The fact that the Trix wasn't present made me dislike it. I never really liked the wizards of the black circle

@@littlewitchling535 lol yeah i mean it's like so untraditional if they don't include their lifetime archnemesis rite? But then suddenly the Trix poofed back in again in the future and then Season 8 just completely 6 y/o cartoonified the Winx anx I just.... Yeah. Then I discovered fhe Netflix's World of Winx where EVERYTHING they should've turned S5-S8 into actually be made - and back-to-back action, magic and mystery, I got back into Winx, tho still disregarding a pot of whatever S5-8 was. I would say World of Winx was the most worthy 2 seasons of Winx right after the original 3 earliest seasons

@@OmiOmislysolofficial YESSSSSSSS. Now the only thing I want now are the DVDs but man it's a shame that season 3 isn't on DVD for the US version.

THIS!!!

Yeah, I only ever had one comic and I never watched the show, so I'm not an authority on W.I.T.C.H or anything. But I like the art in the comics a _lot_ more than the animation in the show, and the animated characters' voices bug me. Also, I absolutely do not like the idea of Cornelia being turned into a fussy, whiny stereotype of a blonde teenage girl.

YES. I blame it on the filler episodes though. And the need for comic relief. I think the comics were more serious.

Agreed, I was looking forward to the show but it fell so flat in every way for me compared to the comics!

YES

I don't think you actually read the comics, they were really dark, especially in the first arc. I read them all and got the feeling that the person who created this video only read a few, there were a lot of inaccuracies.

@@lauragoreni3020 No they weren't, i've read them too. It was bright af msot of the time with a really round design on everything.

@@rdsasuke1 oh yeah? What about the tragedy of the meridian people turned into black roses? Or the mass exodus of meridian people? Elyon crying for never meeting her mother and questioning whether Phobos loves her? Caleb leaving Cornelia after seeing her true form? Will's father threatening to take Will away from her mother just for money? Taranee's mother slapping her in public? the funeral of Yan Lin? Will's pet dying in front of her in a car accident? Yeah, super duper light.

@@lauragoreni3020 apparently cute character designs must always mean light hearted themes

Laura Goreni yeah i read the comics it was definitely darker

Same. I was never involved with other fans, just me in my own little world, i love both w.i.t.c.h and winx, i love both outfits, both stories etc etc

For some reason it was the law that female centered things were not allowed to coexist in the 2000s. I'm so glad we moved past that bs.

Its like the pokemon and digimon rivalry , the shows came up almost at the same time and had almost the same premise, remember back in the dark ages of 00s anime tropes (magic girl , monsters battles , etcc..) were just barely reaching america , so a show like those 2 were unhead of yet and in the 2 major channels (CN and Disney) but they were also vastly diferent , WINX is "girlier" while WITCH is "edgier" , so the fandoms where at opposite ends .....................i always find them entertaining for diferent reasons but usually if you liked one you didnt like the other on account of the tones i guess

@@yuki97kira Same. Fandom wasn't really the same for me back then as it is now, though I still don't really interact with too many people and usually avoid the toxicity.

@@ramondelgado4927 That's kind of funny. I loved both Pokemon and Digimon too.

I think the only reason why Blunk exists is to appeal to boys who may not like girls shows but it kinda backfires because he makes it more difficult for the girls to get immersed. It's the definition of identity crisis. Blunk to me feels like the type of character you would expect in a Ren and Stimpy cartoon, rather than Sailor Moon based on an Italian comic.

It's so cruel to compare a stinky goblin who is a gross-out comic relief to an actual dog who's still cute.

Yes I agree, maternal is possibly the last way I would describe Cornelia, and she’s one of my favorites.

I’ve just started reading the comics after the last rewatch of the show but Irma does mind-control in one of the first chapters. The history teacher is about to tell her to speak in front of the class and she mentally persuades him to ask her about the stone age (the only thing she read about). And then Hay Lin is like “it always works for you, doesn’t it?” but they might have dropped it later in the comics 🦔 I also like how they show most of the girls powers in the first chapters. Like Will’s ability to control electronic devices and Irma’s thing to change clothes colour

definitely, the only reason kid me liked winx more was because there was more content to watch. The quality looking back was always higher in witch.

ZL older me definitely likes Witch more

Witch deserved WAAAAAAY better

Winx Club received big ratings in Europe and decent ratings within the Fox 4Kids TV programming block and later on Nickelodeon US. That's why more seasons were kept on being made and there was later a live action Netflix adaptation. W.I.TC.H. on the other hand didn't get good ratings at least here in the United States. Perhaps had it been aired regularly on the Disney Channel, it might have built an audience but W.I.T.C.H. was aired on The Disney Channel during the weekend afternoons where there was little chance to earn good ratings.

Oh yeah definitely!!

Cornelia 🙃

I was sad Taranee was stuck with tights.

@@yunogasai1338 oof, I hated Taranee's guardian looks so much. I know it was supposed to be hip hop based but i guess it just didn't work at all

I recently read comics again and I would not call her "prepped princess", could you explain a bit more why you said that?

@@mpGreen03 English is not my first language so I thought prepped princess was the good way to describe her. I just think that in the comics she was way more feminine and cared more about her appearance and stuff. I remember moments like when she transformed in her « hero » form, that looks older, to impress an older guy she had a crush on. And then started complaining because she couldn’t turn back to normal properly ( like big head on a child’s body). Another time when her step mom wanted to give her some advice ( or was angry at her, don’t remember fully) and Irma called her out saying she wasn’t her mom. You know stuff like that, I thought she was quite mean at times

@@naomi7918 Hmm. I see. English isn't my first language too. Idk, Cornelia in the comics is the girly one too, she cares about fashion, beauty, her hair especially, she also is more elegant and uptight, so she always reminded me of Princess type character. Irma is girly too, but not as much, Irma cares about rock music and boys, but Cornelia already had her eyes set on Caleb, later on Peter. Irma wore pink, skirts and flowers on her more often than Cornelia, they both are girly but Cornelia reminds me of princess trope while Irma doesn't. And Irma shouting at her mom - I don't think that it ties with princess like behaviour also, they simply got into fight, Irma as many teenagers would do said something that she later on regretted very much.

@@mpGreen03 I could recall other moments when she was mean, like when she told Cornelia to get over Caleb after he "died". They actually were all girly in the group, I just noticed how they changed Irma in the show, less girly and stuff

@@naomi7918 I think that it all comes down to high tension during that arc, but yeah Irma could def. be harsh and brash sometimes, later on regretting it xd, but being mean does not equal to being girly or princess like, we at least to me. But it was nice discussion, thanks!

Ever since Disney bought Marvel, they gave up being creative.

Me too, there was so much potential in Taranee (and I liked how, at least how I remember it, she wasn't a mule for the other girls. Nor did she mother them, she just did he bookish girl thing and I was there for it.) The comics are top-tier fyi. Better characterization all around.

I thought Taranee was interesting in the comics when she discovered why she’s scared of fire and found out she’s adopted :)

SIMPLY EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS A YES

SAME. It's great that we grew up with Winx and witch though

Yes me too, do the creators like finsh airing all the episode or do they cancel it i am sill confused about what happens

Yeah, owned the comics from like issue ~55 (God I wish I could find them still) and I also got most of the earlier comics as collections. I read the comics way before the tv show got here The last sagas (the story arcs) were... not that good, and before it ended it had abandoned the story arcs and just did a single story in a single issue, no continuity When I moved into my current apartment from my childhood home I could only find around 20 or 30 of the comics.

Although he remains the most cowardly member of the main cast he eventually growsa bit of a spine and doesn't hesitate to help his friends.

Ironically, in the case of MLP, the _extreme_ girliness and being obviously intended for a _much younger crowd_ (albeit with the standard jokes and dialogue that parents would appreciate while watching with their kids) was something that worked in its favour, because the adult male fandom was largely started by people watching it _ironically_ on 4chan, where the joke was "We're the cesspool of the Internet and we're openly terrible people, isn't it funny that we like the friendship show?" Then it became unironic because even being a channer asshole doesn't make you immune to good writing. At least everyone that I've seen says the writing is good, I never got into it myself. I just watched the Jenny Nicholson video. "Girly stuff" aimed at older audiences with darker themes (like WITCH) would probably struggle to cultivate the same ironic following that was so key to MLP's explosion of popularity. Also they're not likely to be as merch-driven, we can't ignore the "Hasbro will gladly take an adult male audience with more disposable income, that's where the lion's share of their Transformers money comes from" factor in this. Other kids' shows have been cancelled for having the "wrong audience." Also, to the people bringing up DC stuff, the point here is "Boys will watch female-led shows aimed at a female target audience", not "Boys will like prominent female characters in male-led shows with a male target audience". Those are very different things.

@@ToaArcan you know whats amazing about what you just said? That's almost exactly how i got into the show. My best frirnd was staying iver at my house back in 2012 and we were scrolling through netflix when we saw mlp. I said as a joke we should watch it, he said sure why not lets grab some alcohol and watch it. He only watched the first episode, but i marathoned the ehole first season in 2 days and got hooked onbthe show.

Timestamp?

@@drawhanidraw You have to watch the episode. I don't think the clip was in this video.

I remember my cousin thirsting over shirtless Caleb xD

10/10 best radar joke in the show.

I thought she was talking about her transformation outfit😂😂? Have I been r/wooshed this whole time?

Same, have all the comics and still check the stores if there are new ones 🤣

We're not a minority at all. The comic was waaay more popular than the show

I feel this ;-;

Same, except I got rid of my comics as a teen and I regret it soooo much now!!!

@@serenagoddi3782 Not in the US.

YEEEEESSSS

*ASSEMBLE WITCHERS!!!!!*

*GUARDIANS UNITE*

Yes!!!

FINALLY!!!

Iconic

I couldn't stop listening to it back then, it was such a banger. And the "We are W.I.T.C.H." one was also amazing.

I still play We Are W.I.T.C.H. unironically. It's so good

I loved it when Hay Lin did that blow thing in the opening. Kept replaying it.

In the comics you get to see why she is like that.

The fact that original creators were no longer involved in the comics, is it still good?

@@sosygmingmc5030 no, it went downhill after the original creators left. But you should read the first 30/40ish issues. They were beyond epic, I re-read them as an adult and they're still better than a lot of nowadays' media.

@@lauragoreni3020 So you say I shouldn't continue after those issues? I wanna remember this story as one of the best there is and I don't wanna be disappointed 😅 I've heard the 3rd arc is the by far the best.

@@sosygmingmc5030 yeah I’m not really a fan of anything after arc 6. But I still read them out of dedication haha

@@witchywoman2008 Isn't wrap up even worth it?

Is it good tho, i intend to watch it but the OG anime ending was a fcking mess

Agreed and witch is better still stand by it

It was a badass show.

That is one terrifying curse

Considering how HBO Max has been very quiet about Young Justice (in comparison to Harley Quinn), I'm not too optimistic for another YJ season.

@@GamerSlyRatchet1 the fourth season has like half the episodes finished or in post production, I doubt there's much to worry about it

@@pizzaroles9064 I'm aware, but I was thinking about any more seasons after Phantoms. I just don't get the feeling that HBO Max promotes or cares about YJ at all, especially in comparison to Harley Quinn, even though the latter's season is still being worked on.

@@GamerSlyRatchet1 Every show that Gregwisman is involved with get canceled over and over Why??????????

Things make so much sense now. I was wondering about that feeling I got watching young justice. It gives off similar vibes to W.I.T.C.H.

@@yunogasai1338 He also did the spectacular Spiderman.

@@orangeslash1667 Awesome! That's a great show as well.

@@yunogasai1338 Fun Fact: Weisman admitted to not liking Blunk😣, yet he still found away to have him kinda serve a purpose.

@@orangeslash1667 At least he did serve some purpose for a bit. I just wish W.I.T.C.H. and other shows like it were easier to get physical copies of. Maybe one day we'll get another show.(one can hope). I wouldn't mind a cartoon for the comic nightschool as well.

RIGHT?!?!? I remember HATING Ellyon when I was a child because I couldn't understand doing that to her friends (especially Cornelia). The only reason I begun to like her was because of a special edition completely about her life in Meridian; it was never because she had a redemption ark, I liked her because of the world she introduced in that single comic and how she interacted with it
