- winx club is an italian animated show that rose to international stardom in the early 2000s. it is unanimously revered and considered a staple in pop culture. but like everything great, it has its fair share of contentions. a summary of winx club's biggest controversies:
- I argued with a friend who refused to recognize that Winx Club inspired a lot of western magical girl shows (we argued about Lolirock, precisely). Consequently, I made an impromptu write-up on how Winx Club helped shape Lolirock, and why Lolirock's creator will never admit it:
- winx club, like every piece of media, has a chestful of obscure trivia. for a variety of reasons, these trivia are only known by a few fans. on my free time, i researched and gathered a couple of them. a recollection of winx club's most obscure fun facts:
- magic, fashion, glitters; these are some of the words evoked when you think of winx club. what about death, forced marriage, genocide? winx club promotes happiness, but many people overlook the mature aspect of its storytelling. a critical analysis of winx club's dark side:
- The show didn't shy away from portraying a character that doesn't fit the stereotypical masculine archetype. Helia is less muscular than the other specialists, has long hair, paints, writes poems and love letters for his lover. Forever one of my favorite characters.
Flora loves Helia - Keep in mind that the original creators of Winx Club left years ago. It only exists now to pay Iginio's bills. I hope people can remember the show as this, and not whatever they saw in the reboot.
- we all know winx club as a group of bubbly girls with style, flare, and a flawless sense of fashion. but not many people realize that those girls, adorned with pastel and glitters, are 6 of the most powerful characters in fiction. an examination of winx club's powers of gods:
- Solving an extremely complex ancient puzzle in less than 5 seconds by accident is so Stella
00:00 - Replying to @thebloomixwell, iginio straffi proved that the winx club pilot entered production a year before w.i.t.c.h. was published. the pilot was called 'magic bloom'.
- Replying to @thebloomixdisney lawsuit: in april 2004, the walt disney company filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against rainbow. disney accused rainbow of copying winx club's concept from its w.i.t.c.h. comics. rainbow won the case. how did a small italian company defeat the mighty disney?
- Bottles so iconic you don't even need to see their faces
shoes so iconic you don’t even need to see her face - What the hell happened? She looked gorgeous in the promotional art. Now, it looks like she escaped from one of those fake mobile game ads.Rest in peace, brown-eyed monolid Musa 😪
- Fight scene from 2004 by a small Italian startup. The only things Rainbow had were a low budget and a dream. Season 1 is the holy grail.
