#lol the fashion police reference in the corner #I remember that semi regular bonus series in the comics #where the obnoxious sister I forget their names #would rate canon outfits of the w.i.t.c.h. characters and explain #why they were bad or great #which means the magazine was dunking on their OWN character fashion designs #which is funny when you think about it

More artwork from The First Rose because I really like the art and colours here.

#if I had a nickel for every time a witch book used the exact plot of #evil lady uses enchanted flower to make Cornelia feel left out and hostile towards her friends #bringing her completely under her spell until Cornelia doesn’t recognize her friends anymore #and the power of friendship brings her back #I’d have two nickels #which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

#they should have designed her an ice dress instead of just icefying her regular guardian outfit #this whole book is a worse version of The Last Rose book anyway #which has the same plot basically but better #her tiara is pretty though

#ooo alternate universe! #both Elyon and will are leaders in different ways #au where will is the princess and I guess her father is the tyrant after her mom disappeared #will has been looking for her parents all her life so her father successfully manipulates her #I feel like she would be more actively doubting and sneaking around than early Elyon #she would maybe realise what’s happening on her own #since she was new she probably would not know the girls as well as Elyon knows Cornelia #BUT will and Taranee were can only fast friends before anything happened #so will would trust that she #could be someone to rely on #if will realises earlier but doesn’t know how to fight her father #maybe she would secretly try to contact Taranee #I imagine she would be less in control of her powers so she has to do things secretly #not strong enough for a confrontation yet #she’s being level headed about it #Elyon would be cool as a guardian leader #but at the start she might have issues #since she is so close with Cornelia #but what about the others? #can she make them come together as a group

can u believe that the later w.i.t.c.h. arcs just got rid of the heart of kandrakar, the ultimate symbol of the series, entirely so they could give the girls new ‘weapons’ that seemed to exist purely for merch marketing purposes

So, I have no idea if anyone is interested in this, but I just had to point out that as a person who grew up with the comics and only watched the cartoon at, like, 18, I really hate cartoon Cedric.

It's like someone saw one picture of comic Cedrics snake form and decided to build this weird ass predator villain around it. Comic Cedric is like the most physically pushover character ever. He's basically screwed as soon as he directly faces anyone.

In Issue 6, he goes to face the rebels in his bookshop, is immediately taken hostage and almost executed, Will frees him, he grabs that sword thing, has no idea what to do with it and gets pushed down again. And that apparently damaged him hard enough Elyon had to teletransport him of!

In Issue 8, he gets bullied by a fucking dormouse biting his tail at the Karmilla concert, and later struggles to throw Will of his back while in his winged form.

In his shrimp form during the final battle, he is somewhat more competent, but still looks clumsy af. Which is pretty much his whole thing. I don't think he's weak - snakes are pretty much all muscle by default. He's just got neither the confidence nor the body control to make any use of that, at least that's my interpretation.

Also, in the cartoon there's this whole weird...I dunno if vore's the right word, but this thing about him eating people and shit, plus that weird feeding scene where Phobos tells him to eat and he just rips into some kind of turkey? While comic Cedric appeared more like the kind of person who'd eat chicken wings with cutlery.

And speaking of predator, why does cartoon Cedric sound overly sexual with everything he says? Like, the scene in I believe episode 12 where he and his men hunt Vathek and he says "I'll take the traitor" like he's hoping to get cast as the next porn pizza delivery guy?

That said, the one thing I truly prefer about cartoon Cedric is that he was used to his full potential. It might have been my neverdying crush on comic Cedric, but I never perceived him as a danger, more as a barely adult mess playacting as evil consort in between mental breakdowns. Cartoon Cedric is constantly and more or less successfully portrayed as a real danger to both the main and supporting cast and the citizens in general. In that regard, maybe making him a more straightforward menace was the right choice. I just wish they had taken the more challenging, but in my opinion more rewarding if done right, route of using his cunning, manipulative powers to their fullest. Maybe even combining that with him being more morally grey and/or too much of a pushover, so he tries evading direct confrontation or directly injuring people.

Okay, again, dunno if this made any sense whatsoever, I just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone was interested in hearing it. I spend way too much time consuming w.i.t.c.h. and as such have way too many thoughts on it I'd like to share.

#now that I’ve actually seen both cartoon seasons I like seeing adaptation analysis #I watched all of s2 this weekend cause I’m sick

the w.i.t.c.h. reboot really didn't leave any impact at all, did it

#are they even making a second issue #people talked about it for a week and then it stopped existing basically #based on comments from the people who read it #im not surprised really
