Does anyone else remember this show? I liked it. Phobos was such a good villain, powerful, manipulative, vain.
>>94652235
I tried reading the comics once. They were extremely boring, but I can't remember why.
>>94652235
Nah, the cartoon was the usual Greg Weisman autopilot shit.
>Villain has a plan
>Villain loses
>"I didn't lose, it was ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN!"
>Repeat for the entire series.
It was cute when Xanatos did it. But every single fucking Weisman show? Boring.
Elyon was best girl, but nobody gives a shit.
>>94652439
Defiantly.
>>94652332
I happen to know some Italian, might try reading the original.
>>94652235
It was my teen TV secret. Watching it back now only takes me to the comfiest of nostalgias
>>94652711
>secret
Why? Because it's a "girly show"?
>>94652386
I felt S1 was better. But S2 completely follows that formula.
watched it just for the waifus
>>94652235
He was a little better in season two, where he go to do more stuff besides just being a typical 80's villain.
Those homoerotic baths with Cedric, though.
>>94653624
Is it gay if he's a snake?
>>94653651
It's twice as gay.
I only remember it as "better version of Winx Club"
My sister loved it and like this anon >>94652711 it was also my teen TV secret, yes, because it was girly
>>94653706
I never felt like it was very girly apart from the main characters being girls.
But then... the merchandise...
>>94653744
This show got merch?
Anyhoo, I love this show, and I'm a little sad it didn't get a third season.
I heard how the last episode, when it aired in the States, had its sound missing. ABC Family / Jetix gave zero fucks about it.
>>94654229
Yeah, i know that my local school supply shop had it. Backpacks, notebooks, maybe even pencil cases.
Might pass by tomorrow and look at the backpacks. The Will backpack seems fresh in my memory.
Not like i'm gonna buy it tho, but i'd buy it for a daughter if i had one.
>>94652235
wait there was a show? I have the complete set of comics courtesy of my sister but it never said anything about a show

This channel has it in hd.

This one has it in multiple dubs (but the quality is... old)

>I heard how the last episode, when it aired in the States, had its sound missing. ABC Family / Jetix gave zero fucks about it.
That literally happened to another Weisman-ed show, Spectacular Spider-Man, when it aired on the same channel, now known as Disney XD.
Sad it didn't get a third season

that's wrong though Cornelia was best girl.
>>94655546

>>94655580

your shit taste is showing anon
>>94652490
>Defiantly.
*Definitely.
>>94652235
It was a great show for t(w)eens, but sadly it's not good enough to enjoy as an adult.
>>94660439
>>94661337
please upgrade your phone
>>94653577
Season one was Monster of the Week shit with Elyon's plot holding it together. Season two mixed it up a lot and even rectified some of the stuff the first season messed up regarding the comics.
>>94661356
I don't want to be tracked.
>>94660439
BEST GIRL
>>94663443
Because?
I was big into the comics when I was a kid so I absolutely screamingly hated the show when it was first made. The comic relief goblin guy especially annoyed the fuck out of me. I could never even bring myself to watch more than the first few episodes I saw.
I should probably get around to actually watching the second season since I hear it was taken over by another team and got genuinely good.
I remember the show having shit animation and predictable plots, is the comic better or is it just waifu shit?
>>94664188Because she reminds me of my gf.
>>94652235
I remember this show having a pretty kickass theme song, but I never really watched it.
I think I wanted to go back and watch it once but then I found out it's a French show so I didn't know which version to watch.
>>94664340
The comic dips in quality towards the last few arks but is mostly excellent.
>>94664394
Is there any major story difference between the two?
>>94665951
The show only covers the first two arcs and there's plenty of differences.
I haven't read the comics in quite a while so I can't really list what's different.
>>94652235
I have to say, I love the "twist" at the end with passion>Master, give me a fraction of your power to defeat the protagonists>ok
Later>My agreed for me to take a fraction of his power...>So I took four quarters of it!
>>94655546
>>94660439
>>94663443
you're all wrong
Best Girl:
>>94666032
So, western Misato?
Can't argue with that.
>>94666096
Only she's Will's mom so you can/ll/andoyakodon
>>94666032
>>94664321
Definitely give season 2 a shot. I thought season 1 was meh and stopped watching after a few episodes of season 2, but I picked it up again a few months later, and I'm so glad I did.
The new villain was what really made that season.
>>94666640
Don't forget Phobosand his expectedly flamboyant betrayal
>>94652332
did the comics come before or after winx? I am fairly certain the show came after winx
>>94666640
Nerissa was excellent, trumped Phobos in all aspects.
Especially whenshe turned into a highschool babe and shook her ass for an entire episode just to mess with the protagonists
I'm not gonna lie, I want tofuck her voice actress right in the vocal chords. I want her to whisper lewd words into my ear while I masturbate
>>94666895
She'sCaleb's mom, iirc?
>>94666914
Yup.
It's also implied she was fucking Cassidy before the later died.
>>94666026
Cedric is one of my favorite cartoon villains ever; schemer extraordinaire and dangerous, cunning motherfucker. His transformation design is kinda bad, but I don't really care.
>>94668274
God, his bookstore was creepy
I enjoyed this show because it felt like the "Magical girl" equivalent of Pumaman (watch MST3k) because at the start the girls were intentionally/unintentionally a little doofy and had a competent jacket-wearing sidekick who bailed them out of trouble. The episode where they accidentally beat the shit out of their school teacher (due to an assumption he was the snake monster guy) left me laughing but past a certain point I just enjoyed the show for the sake of itself rather than chain them to this association.
I think it sucked royal though Will didn't have any actual energy powers until the 2nd season, but overall I thought it was a solid B+ show with moments that exceeded that level.
...I still want to know WTF the fire girl is the only one who's hairstyle changes post transforming. That never made any damn sense.
Best girl
>>94652235
I still remember downloading and reading crappy translations from some obscure fansite when I was younger.
Those were the good times.
>>94652439
Cedric was best girl.
>>94653624
I was pleasantly surprised by the bath scene. How they got that through censors I have no idea.
They should have just made them the vanon pairing though, everyone was thinking it amyway.
>>94668346
His bookstore was hilarious and so very clearly a creepy set-up to lure in young girls. People in this universe were retarded.
>yes hello teenage girl you don't know me but please come work in my creepy shop unsupervised
>>94671075
you're onto something there, anon.
>>94669248
>the only one who's hairstyle
*the only one whose hairstyle
>>94671075
>girl
>>94671047
For the comic?
>>94675174
For the novels
>>94676257
There are novels!?!?
>>94666032
Didn't she start banging her dughter's teacher? Kek
>>94676714
Her daughter's /his/tory teacher. Which means she has good taste, which means she is best girl.
>>94673758
Yeah?
>>94652235
It was stupid how in S1 Will had no elemental powers and it was just a monster of the week type of thing. S2 was so much better even if it was heavy on the Xanatos gambits.
>>94676714
Yep. I don't blame Will for getting disgusted.
>>94676257
anon a least give us the names so we can look them up
>>94676714
She was kind of a whore. I remember she wore that t-shirt that clung to her boobs and everything. The animators were definitely having fun.
