Winx Club: Difference between revisions

* [[3D Movie]]: ''Winx Club 3D: Magical Adventure''

* [[Academy of Evil]]: Cloud Tower.

* [[Action Girl]]: The Winx.

* [[Affably Evil]]: It's implied that the witches of Cloudtower are more mischievous than evil, excluding the Trix. Sure, they cause trouble and mayhem, but they wouldn't cross the line into trying to kill someone.

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Mitzi, Diaspro, Chimera and Icy!

* [[Alternative Foreign Theme Song]]: The 4Kids dub has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZyHW7MF6XI "We are the Winx! We are the Winx!"]

** Cut from 4Kids' dub, the RAI version season 1 episode 2 had Bloom turn and smile at the camera just before she and Stella head towards Alfea for the first time.

* [[Asleep for Days]]: After her failed attempt to rescue the pixies from Lord Darkar at the beginning of the second season, Aisha sleeps for four days.

* [[Badass Normal]]: Subverted by most of the specialists, whose lack of magic abilities makes them very inferior to the fairies in a fight. See also Faux Action Guy below. Played straight by them in the comics and movies.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: ''Winx Club'' is the absolute master of this trope. You only have to take a look at most of the non-adult female characters' outfits.

* [[Beam-O-War]]: The Winx {{spoiler|plus Nebula}} against the Black Circle in the last episode of Season 4

* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Both played straight and subverted, since there are barely any characters that are remotely ugly.

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Riven behaves like a jerk and Musa is prickly.

* [[Berserk Button]]: According to the opening song, "Look all you want, just don't touch the hair..."

* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Stella (blonde), Flora (brunette), and Bloom (redhead). Of the Winx girls, these three are the most popular due to being the dominant subject in most commercial ad art. They also seem the closest since most scenes almost always have those three together. Also are most distinguishable as they all have similar [[Rapunzel Hair]] hairstyles, bare their midriffs, and wore high-heel wedges.

** Those three also qualify as a [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn|Beauty, Brains and Brawn]] trio with Stella being the beauty, Flora being the brains (because she's the strategist) and Bloom being the brawn.

* [[Brainwashed]] / [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Happens to both Riven and Bloom; also goes into the Face Heel Turn trope in both cases because of the mind control.

** Only happens to Riven in the 4Kids dub. In the original, he went with Darcy and the Trix of his own accord.

** This theory is helped in that in the fourth season, they have to travel to Italy to meet Sibyllia, indicating that Gardenia is not there.

** Plus, the intro to season 4 shows them descending onto California.

* [[Dark Action Girl]]: The Trix

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Some fans have said this about season four due to {{spoiler|the death of Aisha's fiancé, Nabu}}, which was {{spoiler|the first [[Heroic Sacrifice|hero death]] of the series}}. Also, there was a scene at the very end of episode nine with {{spoiler|Bloom and Sky holding hands while sitting on her bed}}, in which Sky says, "Sometimes it's better not to talk." Some fans have interpreted this as {{spoiler|sexual innuendo}}, but the show doesn't necessary support this conclusion.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In season 3, when the Winx girls and Specialists were searching for the Water Stars, they get ambushed by monsters. TENTACLED monsters. And yes, the girls DO get tangled up in them. Hmmm... tentacled monsters using their tentacles to ensnare [[Stripperiffic|scantily clad]] girls?

* [[Driven to Suicide]] / [[Taking You with Me]]: {{spoiler|Nebula, but Bloom manages to talk her out of it.}}

** It was also said that Musa was a princess in the season 1 4Kids dub (even had Icy taunt Musa that her father and his "hip-hop palace guards" aren't there to protect her), but was later revealed she and her dad are middle class citizens in the concert episode of season 2. Dubbers simply [[Did Not Do the Research]].

** 4kids altered Aisha's personality a little. Originally, she had trust issues due to her strict upbringing. 4kids kept this, but also turned her into a feminist who took a dislike to the guys for no good reason. Thankfully, they did fix this later on.

** They're called the PATCHAMEN!!!

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Although everyone's single casual outfit did change some time in season two; [[Unlimited Wardrobe|subverted]] in season four.

* [[Locked Out of the Loop]] / [[Is That What He Told You?]]: Bloom does not know about herself and her powers until the Trix mention it.

* [[Love Triangle]]: With Kiko of all characters. In season 4, he's the sign of affection for Aisha's Pixie pet, Milly the Rabbit, and Stella's Pixie pet, Ginger the poodle. More of a comical thing, though, as the two Pixie pets would fight each other for Kiko's attention.

* [[Moses in the Bulrushes]] / [[Changeling Fantasy]]: Bloom thought she was Mike and Vanessa's daughter, but the truth is that Mike found her in a burning building. Bloom's actually the princess of a dead planet. Her older sister, Daphne, took her to Earth to save her from their planet's destruction.

* [[The Movie]]: And even two [[All CGI Cartoon|all-CGI one]] to boot.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Oritel in the 2nd movie. He banishes Sky from Domino for supposedly toying with Bloom's feelings and breaking off the engagement (for reasons known only between Sky, his dad, and Bloom), even forbids Bloom from ever seeing him again. Bloom angrily storms off, leaving her kingdom to stay at her Earth home as she can't stand being with Oritel for the time being. He again blames Sky for Bloom's abandonment, but then Miriam shows him the confession letter of Sky's father that explained everything, which Sky tried to show him earlier but refused to look. Once Oritel finally read it, he realized that he screwed up BIG TIME. Not only did he condemn an innocent young man for something he didn't do, he also may have permanently damaged his relationship with his daughter he had so longed to see due to his irrational overprotectiveness. Now Oritel fears that Bloom may never want to speak to him again for what he's done. This could have be avoided if Oritel had simply read the letter...

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: We have Flora trying to find a pulse on Prince Sky, {{spoiler|and Morgana promising to look after Nabu until he wakes up.}}

** Flora is [[Jennifer Lopez]]

** Musa is [[Lucy Liu]]

* [[No One Could Survive That]]: Aisha during season two premiere.

* [[No Loves Intersect]]: Six couples, but virtually no jealousy? Only twice did that actually happen in the first few seasons; in the first season Riven/Bloom/Sky (never even gets mentioned and Riven was just being a jerk anyway), in the second season Bloom/Sky/Aisha (RAI version, due to Sky helping out and complimenting Aisha during the rescue mission, which causes Bloom to be slightly antagonistic towards her, but Sky was just being a gentleman) and in the third Riven/Musa/Nabu (it was a [[Not What It Looks Like]] situation compounded by lousy camera angles anyway.)

** Subverted haaaaardcore in Season 4, to the point where it's become a secondary storyline.

* [[Not Himself]]: By way of dubbing with Stella, plus a few instances that were also there in the original.

* [[Orcus on His Throne]]: Darkar fits this trope to a T

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Musa's magic pet Pepe and Icy's pet duck Pepe, who went with the Trix to Light Rock but [[Long Bus Trip|hasn't been seen since season one]].

* [[Overly Long Gag]]: From season 3 episode 20:

{{quote|'''Digit:''' Now I'm going to teach those three to have a little respect for little creatures like us!

'''Tune:''' Well, I was just trying to be precise, Digit! }}

* [[Panty Shot]]: Courtesy of Stormy. Almost happens in S4 when Roxy is possessed by Nebula - looks like the animators had to jump through hoops to avoid this.

** And why isn't Mirta part of the Winx? At first, it seemed it was because she was a witch, but now that she is a fairy, it does not make sense. It was also implied that it was because she was younger than the others, but so is Roxy!

** And where did Hagen go after the first Movie? The way he and Faragonda acted indicated that she wouldn't let him go into isolation again, but he never even gets mentioned after the Movie.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: The Trix didn't take it lightly when Darkar turned against them and they fought on the Winx's side durring the final battle of season 2. But when the portal to the Realix dimension closed, they just left the Trix behind! [[Redemption Equals Death|Redemption Means]] [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]?

** The Trix would show up in the beginning of season 3, but how they got out remains a mystery and one of the biggest [[Plot Holes]] in the entire series.

* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: You must have noticed by now if you're ''this'' far down the page.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Once Darkar feels that he doesn't need the Trix anymore, he tosses them into a black hole. The Trix also do this to Riven in a well done [[Break the Haughty]] sequence.
