Ralph Breaks the Internet Review/Rant
Tumblr media
When I first watched this film in 2018, I thought it was fairly decent. I was glad to finally see Wreck it Ralph again after 6 years. But even then, I still found it a disappointment from the first one. I hated how they did Ralph and Vanellope and I hated that Felix and Calhoun were barely in the film. Over the years, after reflecting more on this film, I realized that I might've been a bit too nice to it. So, I rewatched it again. And... yeah, it's pretty mediocre. It's still a fun time, especially for kids, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want it to ruin your love for the first one. I couldn't even watch the first one for years after watching this trainwreck.
This is going to be longer than some of my previous reviews because I have a LOT to say about this film, including spoilers. But you can always scroll down to the overall section if you want to see a concise version of this review.
Story
The film starts off nice. Ralph and Vanellope just hanging out in other games and talking. But, by the time the conflict comes around, the story becomes ass. Ralph and Vanellope break Sugar Rush by fucking around with a new race track Ralph created. They go through the Internet on a rollercoaster ride (using teleportation would make more sense). Then, they end up accidentally bidding 27,000 dollars for a new part at Ebay. So, now they have to gather up 27,000 dollars in 24 hours before the part expires when they could just wait for the item to expire and then re-bid. (Seriously, this whole movie wouldn't have happened if Ralph and Vanellope hadn't been idiots).
Tumblr media
It doesn't matter, though, because Ralph somehow gets instant internet fame by making cringy youtube (called buzztube when youtube exists in that world for some reason) jokes and being a real life person somehow (that no one questions), ok. Why do we need a movie about the Internet with two characters from a movie about video games?
There are some cool concepts with the Internet, like the little avatars walking all over the place, the spamming, and Miranda Sings getting her ass kicked off by Ralph breaking her Internet. But then, there are also a lot of unnecessary Internet references. We see Google, Amazon, Twitter (with all the birds retweeting one post, like you could've had other posts instead of just retweets), Snapchat (which is an app), and Oh My Disney, which is just 5 unnecessary minutes of Disney kissing their own ass.
I will, however, say that the parody with the Disney princesses, the I Want songs, and how Vanellope interacts with the princesses (an atypical Disney princess, so you can imagine how well they bounce off of each other) is funny. The only problem is, they're just wrapped up in this terrible story. Like, if they kept the video game concept and they had something like Disney Infinity being one of the more wholesome games Ralph would send Vanellope to and then they meet the Disney princesses in there, that would be better.
The emotional scenes are just shit. Like, I can't NOT mention the contrived comment scene, the whole theme about friendship, and Vanellope glitching when she's insecure, how the fuck, lmao? The comment scene just came off like elementary school/middle school bullying instead of how people actually talk on the Internet. It gives me flashbacks of the 2011 film Cyberbully.
Tumblr media
And the way the conflict gets resolved is shallow too, because everything is shallow in this film. I mean, "Don't read the comments"? I mean, it's kinda right for certain situations, but sometimes comments can be useful in helping you improve and seeing how other people see your videos. Sure, you should ignore bullies, trolls, and mean comments, but you shouldn't ignore every comment.
While the letting your friend go and follow their dreams message is a well-intentioned message to send to kids, the way they did it here is actually harmful and contradictory to the first film. I don't want to get too much into the characters because I have a special character section for them, so I'm just going to talk about the theme and how it relates to the world. Vanellope LITERALLY goes turbo. She ditches her Sugar Rush friends, players, and her game. Seemingly putting her friends and game in danger, yet no one questions it. I can't believe this was made by the same people who made the first.
In the climax of the film, Ralph releases a virus to protect Vanellope from the dangers of Slaughter Race. But somehow, it ends up detecting and copying insecurities? I mean, it's a cool concept, but it doesn't make sense when that wasn't even Ralph's intention to begin with.
And like a lot of things in this film, the way they resolved that conflict is anticlimatic. Supposedly, it's a symbol of the theme of the movie which is about letting friends go, which is fine, but why does it need to be in the form of a literal antagonist? Also, I feel like this whole thing is kinda breaking the Show, Don't Tell rule.
The movie also suffers from a lack of subplots. One particular subplot involving Calhoun and Felix was teased but then gets completely thrown out the window. It isn't really an original concept, but it still feels disappointing that they fucked it over.
Characters
Established characters barely even act like themselves. They say and do a lot of stupid shit. Like that contrived joke with Tron having a glitch (no pun intended) and they assume it's already fixed, but it turns out it wasn't fixed. That could've easily been rewritten as Litwak announced it was fixed, but it turns out it wasn't.
Dialogue is pretty bad, too. There's a lot of unnecessary Internet references, laughably idiot dialogue (mostly from Ralph) and a few potty humor that aren't even funny. Oh, and this movie is weirdly fond of philosophies too.
Tumblr media
Why would Ralph be interested in a book club?
Ralph is now an idiot loser. He spends the entire film whining and crying about how Vanellope doesn't love him and his hair, even when she's saying nothing about him, it almost comes off as sus (I don't think I can say the actual word I'm thinking of). He says stuff like this.
Tumblr media
Bitch, you could've said, "Why are you angry at the rainbow." HOW HARD IS THAT TO REWRITE, WRITERS?!?!
If Ralph just stayed the overprotective father that didn't want Vanellope to wander into dangerous games like Slaughter Race and be around sus people, that would be fine. But no, he gets upset because he and Vanellope were inseparable for 6 fucking years. That is just problematic in more ways than one. Like, Vanellope's your only friend? FELIX IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE! WTF HAPPENED TO YOU, RALPH?!?!
As for Vanellope, I think the concept of Vanellope getting bored with her game is a good concept to explore and would've been a good catalyst for character development, but here's the thing: SHE NEVER LEARNS. At the end of the film, she gets what she wants and RALPH has to be the one to learn something. Don't get me wrong, Ralph is also in the wrong for being clingy and not wanting his friend to leave his side for 5 minutes. But Vanellope was also a selfish, insensitive b!tch for putting her own game in danger and hurting her friends and her players (by the first movie's logic).
Now, on the positive side, there are some decent characters. Spamley, Yesss, the creepy Slug, Shank, and Knowsmore. Any new character in the film is amusing to watch.
Spamley is the spam junk guy. He's shady and wants to help Ralph and Vanellope get rich by looting from video games. I feel like this character could've probably been the antagonist as I always felt like he was going to backstab Ralph and Vanellope.
Yesss is the world-weary, aloof Youtube Algorithm with a loving side if she cares about you. It's how I'd imagine an Algorithm would act like if it was a person.
Knowsmore (who weirdly enough isn't google) also acts like how I'd imagine a search engine would act like. Saying what they think the other person is typing into the search engine.
The slug (I don't know if they mention his name) is aggressively creepy. He's the guy that Ralph buys the virus from. Fitting for how I'd imagine someone with a virus would act like.
Shank is the weakest of the characters because she's the one encouraging Vanellope to go Turbo, but she does have a cool personality. She may look slightly reminiscent of Calhoun, but she's not stern and hot-headed like her. Instead, she's easy-going, charismatic, and has some badass moves. I still like Calhoun better overall.
Animation/Music/Voice Acting
You can clearly tell it's a step up from the first movie. It's more fluid and cleaner. However, one thing I would like to complain about the animation is the way that some of the 2D princesses are translated into 3D. Ariel, Cinderella, and I think that was Tiana, look unrecognizable as 3D. Especially, Pocahontas, uh.
Tumblr media
I think the voice actors were amusing to watch and portrayed their characters decently well. Sarah Silverman, however, felt somehow off to me. Like her voice is pitched up and she didn't really have as much range as she did in the first one, but it might just be the bad script and directing. Bill Hader, I thought he was great as Flint Lockwood and Fear, but his voice is a bit off in this film. Most of the time, he uses his Flint Lockwood voice (which I don't think really fits the character) and other times, he sounds different.
There's only two songs in there, one of them only lasts a second and somehow, it sounds better than almost anything about the full-length one. A Place Called Slaughter Race is not only Vanellope being a piece of shit, but it also doesn't sound particularly catchy. The melodies change like every minute and it's not even in a good way like Bohemian Rhapsody, it just sounds weird.
Overall
Ralph Breaks the Internet is just The Emoji Movie but a bit better. It does actually offer some creative things with the Internet. But it also could've done better in its portrayal of the Internet and that includes making the world feel more natural and cutting down the amount of Internet references (and there's A LOT).
The entire film wouldn't have happened if Ralph and Vanellope hadn't goofed off during work hours and forfeit the bid, but no. We GOTTA HAVE MEMES AND INTERNET REFERENCES FOR THE ZOOMERS AND ALPHAS!
BuzzTube and Knowsmore existing while Google and Youtube exists is weird. I guess they had some weird contract disagreements with these products?
There is little tension to be found as most of the conflict is resolved through anticlimatic and shallow dialogue and scenes and lame Internet jokes. And conflict is often started or ending with inconsistencies with the previous worldbuilding or with how the Internet really is.
There are barely any subplots in the film. One is teased, but never expanded upon.
Jokes are hit-and-miss. A lot of the dialogue felt unnatural and disgusting, often for the sake of making little kids laugh. Yet, the movie even tries to be r/I'm14andthisisdeep for no reason a few times.
Vanellope and Ralph are now almost completely different from how they were in the first film and of the two, only Ralph learns something and it's a pretty harmful message in the context of the film. However, I do like the new side characters. I personally think they should've done more with Spamley, but they all have fun personalities and act like how I'd imagine the Internet in character form would act like. And the parody with the Disney princesses and the interactions between them and Vanellope is actually creative to watch.
Animation is a clear step up from the first film besides the designs of some of the Disney princesses looking off. Voice acting was mostly decent except for a few characters sounding weird at times. Vanellope's I Want song is disappointingly forgettable.
Ralph Breaks the Internet gets 5.3 bells out of 10.
Tumblr media
Also, why is it called Ralph Breaks the Internet instead of Ralph Wrecks the Internet? Ugh, they couldn't even get the title right.
Sour Bill is also one of my favorites and I would've loved to see more of him, too.

Rewatching season 1 (and actually paying attention to Sky to figure out what the fuck everyone is talking about): Part 4
EP 16:
Icy what is that demented baby you just made?
Musa is sad :(, I'm taking this one comment as more of a joke than an actual barb
Tumblr media
Flora's face I'm screaming
Tecna and Flora know tf is up
FUCK THAT DEMENTED BABY IS CREEPY LOOKING
Ok it's fart less creepy now that's it's evolved
DO A SLUMBER PARTY GIRLS
Musa sees her mother in her dream then calls out for Riven?? Did she see him too?
NEVER MIND THE CREATURE GOT MORE TERRIFYING
Tecna being lost in the Internet/too much data makes so much sense if her magic doesn't function properly bc it's synthetic. Ignore me and my headcanons
Tumblr media
The Flora Stan's are winning in this ep
Stella: Maybe Musa can cheer you up! I don't feel so good right now
Bloom: but Stella, at least you know who your parents are
Stella: Yeah, I know who they are, but they don't care much about me. The king and queen of Solaria! But princess Stella? Brought up like a perfect stranger
Everyone: *reacts rightfully horrified*
Stella, realizing she accidentally admitted a negative emotions: Hey! Why all the long faces? I'm way over by now
*Points at Stella* THATS EMOTIONAL NEGLECT
If she was brought up like a perfect stranger that sorta implies that she was raised by strangers, like a revolving door of maids that never stuck around long enough for her to form a connection one
That explains literally all of her attention seeking behaviors, and her tendancy to quickly form intense relationships (one day and she was already ride or die for Bloom)
With the way ONLY her dad shows up to her princess ball, Luna is probably FAR more neglectful than Radius
Stella: the only time they seem to notice me is when I bring home a bad report card
This might be more about Luna than Radius, because he at least shows up to important milestones in her life. He's not good at being there for Stella but he's at least physically present
Stella: so now I get to dream about my parents *shiver*
Bloom: oh poor Stella *laughter*
Odd reaction but this show has never taken Stella's neglect seriously so expected
Flora did her final on this she really should of been able to save her by now
Why the fuck aren't they screaming in terror???? This thing is fucking horrifying
Flora doesn't wanna leave her gf
Musa's powers have a disco theme
She dresses hip-hop, she sings pop, her focus instrument is classical, and her attacks are disco
Musa is a woman of many talents
Icy: I don't know by the looks of things I think you could still beat us, even if your all split up
Is she being sarcastic?? Or sincere??
Good middle of the night Faragona, thank you for FINALLY doing something about these murderous bitches
I love how the whole school is out here sksjfjsn Musa woke them all up
Musa: hi Kiko.... I don't even know what to say except your such a good bunny
I'm crying 💗💓💞💓💘💓💞💓💝💓
Stormy: at least the weather is kinda nice tonight
It's always raining on Stormy's planet, confirmed
"thanks to you I just had the humiliation of being scolded by Griselda"
LMAO GRIFFIN IS SUCH A CHILD THAT SHE GETS SCOLDED BY GRISLEDA I LOVE IT
Shut up, I'm taking custody of Griselda from the writers, she's getting a character arc
I wonder where the Trix are gonna like....live from now??
OH HEY THE NEXT EPISODE IS THE ONE I BARELY PAID ATTENTION TOO YESS
EP 17:
The RF music played and I looked up expecting to see Riven doing something stupid.....that's what the RF theme means to me oml
These mfs are just beating the fuck out of eachother. I mean yeah?? But it's really funny
...d-dragons... You think??? You think because Bloom = Dragon, but not just any Dragon. Dragon god. That she can just??? Control them??????
They're having an exhibition....for their first and second years?????? Shouldn't this be for third and fourth years only?
Well maybe first and second years are excluded, and third, fourth, and fifth can go???? 5 year highschool??
Idfk
Stella: I completely trust our fairy flower child!
If she's letting Flora fuck with her hair then yes she does
"When it comes to your emotions Bloom, your an open book!"
Stella 🤝 Kiko
Call him dammit
If Sky gets replaced with Darcy in CT, he'd still need to be there in CT for the plot to work. Darcy only being able to slide in for the big moment
Still Sky would be confused as fuck
"Simple, their evil they get a kick out of hunting other people."
Propaganda!! Prop-Propaganda!!~
(I love that song)
Tumblr media
Oh my god shit dick actually does have a picture of Dia in his room while he's talking to Bloom fkwbdnsjdns
Someone needs a redemption arc!
*re-tools s2 to be about Skloom ""drama"" (not the dumb and nonsensical kind) about him being a cheater trying to redeem himself*
Tbh I'm thinking that Riven and Musa don't go home for the summer so they have time to bond during those months, so I can move them getting together in s2 earlier than the season finale....and move Skloom back from the s1 finale to slightly before the s2 finale??? Bc trust isn't fixed that easily!!! You have to build it up as a friend first!! Then we can think about romance!!!
("what about the trust between Riven and Musa?" You might ask. Darcy is a lot more low key, so Musa never ends up chased and nearly murdered while evil!Riven doesn't do shit lol. That and Musa was one of the few people who realized that Riven wasn't acting like himself...she knew)
All of this while Stella and Brandon get back together at the s1 finale and just watch the shit show.... Brandon being a certified Sky apologist every now and then
Timmy.....knows....
Wait a fucking second, if Timmy knows about Dia he probably knows that Sky and Brandon swapped— TIMMY FUCKING KNEW THE WHOLE TIME?!
"about the girl that I've got to marry, I don't want to, I love Bloom!"
Honestly with the way that Sky dislikes Riven for being a dick to the people around him, and the way he grates against his parents, it absolutely isn't surprising that he doesn't like Diaspro who is 80% classism by volume
He feelings are definitely a little more complicated because they were literally raised together, and that level of having to rely on someone would mix things up, but this isn't surprising
The big problem is being a fucking coward that doesn't want to take responsibility for the bad things he does
Timmy: how about open and honest communication?
Sky: fake my own death, got it
Riven....heard....them talking....and THIS HE DIDN'T SNITCH TO DARCY ABOUT???
Oh my god Riven is such an ineffectual villain it's actually hilarious
Riven lying here like he didn't have a crush on Bloom for the first half of s1....ok
LMAO, several things:
1) Riven is so obviously lying it hurts. Like, Darcy has attempted to kill Bloom and they *go to different schools. Darcy don't know shit about Bloom
2) Riven has been around Bloom before. He knows this is dumb, he's well aware that no one who's meet Bloom before would believe this bullshit
3) Sky is well aware that Riven has a grudge against him and Bloom, and that everything he says will be heavily biased
4) Sky takes this shit PERSONALLY
Riven is terrible at coming up with real things to insult people over, and Sky doesn't understand the concept of not feeding trolls. This amazing
Imagine getting your ass beat by some one that believes in trickle down economics, I would never emotionally recover
Brandon literally dragging Sky off of Riven...... "Dude, we can't get another fuckin mark on our transcript—"
Brandon checking on Sky and Riven 👀
He's such a good guy, but also Brandon will see the most pathetic asshole in the room, sigh, and start dragging them to a better life while working on his apologetics
I'm not wrong!!!!
He does if for Riven both in the beginning of s1 and in s2, and he's always doing it for Sky
Brandon is one of those people who likes poor little meow meows
"you know after you've started dating Darcy, that woman that's attempted to murder us and Bloom multiple times, you've become a real pain"
Oh my god, Brandon is trying to convince Riven he's being manipulated and used... He's the only one here with a fucking brain. Brandon once again up for the "only man ever" award
Ok...points to Griffin for mastering the art of passive aggression, unfortunately Faragona is immune
MUSA'S FLUTE!!! EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SHES SO CUTE!!!!
Bloom is so...idk the word for it, but how adamant she is about breaking and entering is weird
The girls are like, fine, well help you break and enter
3d animation nfnendnsns ah
I know Erendor is supposed to be taller than Samara, but that's objectively wrong. Samara IS much taller than her manlit of a husband
I can't explain, she has the vibes of a tall person, and he has the ones of a short person
Diaspro looks like she's talking to that hologram of Sky...like a phone call. That's definitely unintentional
Dia is so fucking pretty, like goddamn, she's pretty
"And I absolutely forbid you form looking at my boyfriend."
Ok....excuse me Diaspro but wasnt the whole point that Sky and Brandon were told to switch identities because assassin??? We're you not informed of this??? Are you not putting his life in jeopardy by walking around with a picture of Sky and openly calling him your boyfriend???? Do you just not care??? None of this makes any sense love ❤️
"Honey? Are you listening to me?" UM. FUCKING WHAT??
THAT WAS A PHONE CALL?????
Are you telling me that Sky put it on mute and stood stock still so Bloom would assume he was just a picture??? AND IT WORKED?????
OH MY GOD
I had to take a break to stop laughing oh my fucking god these idiots
Bloom: Sky is a cheater?
Bloom: no! It's Darcy
I just—does Bloom not see her walking with royalty and official guards? Darcy would have to try REALLY HARD, to trick them. Just saying
Stella bragging about Brandon to the annoyance of Musa and Tecna my beloved
"There the richest royals in the whole dimension!"
Eraklyon is space Britain/Usa confirmed, with all the baggage that comes with that
"I still don't know if your heart beats more for your good looking prince, or the cash he's got"
Musa taking offense, for obvious (and kinda rightful) reasons
"Beauty is wasted If not surrounded by beautiful things!"
She take my money~ when I'm in neeeddd~
Diaspro is so fucking pretty I cannot get over how pretty she is, like goddamn
Diaspro just believes this random ass girl.....ok
God Dia looks good as hell with her cape
Fuck I'm sorry, I cannot shut up about how pretty she is
Why do one of the guards get to sit down
Tumblr media
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IM LOSING MY MIND LOOK AT HER FACE
Bloom just knocks this man tf out
......Bloom is so steadfast in her convictions. Low self esteem in herself but a lot of confidence in her actions
BLOOM JUST FUCKING ATTACKED DIA NOOOOOOOO
DIA IS A BITCH BUT SHE WAS LITERALLY JUST STANDING THERE AND YOU NEARLY SET HER ON FIRE
Oh my god Dia is so classicist, she does need a good fight but not like this girlie, please
Timmy: please don't kill eachother in front of the audience
The dragons in this show never look how you expect dragons to look. Bitch that is a hydra with one head, I cannot explain
Why are they color coded
Omg I love my girls they're so fucking nosey. They won't even fly up do they can each see at once
Diaspro's transformation is very low key compared to her personality
She's looks so angry with this beautiful music, they don't understand Dia at all
Bloom: you know when Darcy transformed into Stella she couldn't change the color of her magic and she couldn't transformation
Bloom, watching Dia transform: obviously she just got better at it
Wouldn't it be fucked up if Bloom realized in that moment they Dia was, quite obviously, not Darcy but whoops now Dia is pissed and wants blood
Diaspro said FUCK MAGIC, ran up to Bloom and fucking grabbed her omg I love it here
Actually this spell Diaspro is using looks a lot like how Darcy kept Stella constrained......and Dia's magic seems to be purple. That would explain why Bloom doesn't realize
Ok but Diaspro is really not keeping this lie up at all
I think Dia's transformation is a little too close to her civilian form... Slight redesign might be necessary
Shouldn't the king and Queen be looking for Dia at this point
This is the only episode that understands that Sky and Riven are as petty as eachother
Riven says fuck it, imma get expelled. Ok this has got to be Darcy poking at him
These Dragons are like robots with Wii motion controls, I'm laughing incessantly
How the fuck did Dia and Bloom make it under the fucking arena????? Did they go down the stairs?? I'm crying
Riven: oh fuck yeah, a distraction
Sky: oh fuck no, the consequences of my actions
It looks like Dia has the twin ponytails that Musa has in her s4 fruity music bar look
"Goodness! This girl is nuts"
Tru, in all fairness, your also nuts
Brandon, watching this: ohhhhh, Sky is fucked
Sky is just standing there slack jawed as everything goes to shit is really funny
Diaspro really doesn't know that Sky and Brandon switched names?????? Did no one fucking tell her???? What the fuck is going on????
Sky walks past Dia and she looks so fucking upset, omg
Bloom just kinda collapses...
*Picks up Sky and shakes him around* I have a new pet meow meow, I can't believe there was another one right in front of my eyes and I never noticed
I stg the show says that it was the king and queen that set up the name change, but no one in this episode gives a flying fuck about keeping the ruse up
Brandon: you see what I mean when I say that your stupid shit gets ME in hot water
Riven probably has popcorn at this point
Stella is MADDDDD
Bro she's fucking growling
Bloom gets sad but Stella gets angry
Idk why s4 thinks Stella is slow to fight or doesn't get pissed. Yes she prefers to hide her negative emotions behind laugher and joy, but girl does anger hard when she feels like it
What do you mean when Sky needed help? You mean the Riven bullshit?
Brandon forgets that not everyone knows that Riven is pretty harmless
Stella: sooooo~ who's going to help me plan murder~
Musa: me!!! Me!!!!
Tecna: I already have a place to hide the bodies
Flora: no silly, let's just feed them to my plants 💚
EP 18:
"the one sure thing in her life wasn't real"
Don't fucking diss Stella like that
You think Stella has a revenge dress? Like?? It's fashion and spiteful. Not on the level of like what spawned the concept, but Stella would absolutely use clothes to make a point
It can be only boy shit that making her leave, probably the public embarrassment too
Stella is so angry on Bloom's behalf
Tumblr media
Stella is either sad AF or angry AF and there is no in-between
Bloom wouldn't give up her dream that easily, but she'd absolutely make a split second decision to run away
I think transforming and magic in general has to take fuck ton of energy, bc that's the only reason these characters avoid it so hard. I need to see them losing magic in the middle of a fight to properly sell it tho
I can't believe she'd give up her friends over some fuck ass boy
BLOOM CAN TELEPORT?!
"You've made your choice and we respect your decision" everyone shut the fuck up I love Mike so goddamn much, he's a fucking dad y'all
Bloom should totally set her on fire
Bloom dress landscapes!!!!
Fragona acting like it's everyone's personal business what Bloom does. Like I know that she knows that Bloom is the main character, but no one else does bestie
Stella: then I'm going to bring her back!
Icy: she doesn't belong at Alfea, but she doesn't belong here either
Icy explaining the Domino plot before it even happens
Bloom channeling her inner chaos gremlin
The Trix attacked her parents. God this has got to be in the top ten most traumatizing things that has happened to Bloom. Period. End stament.
At this point, Bloom should be able to EASILY take Knut. Oh she did... Why didn't the Trix expect that
Do you think the earth people notice this?
That has got to be Darcy's powers....the vortex her parents are thrown into
Icy explaining everything...and for what? Actually, I think Icy just likes monologuing. She loves that energy
You know? After emotionally torturing her and nearly killing her parents....then repeatedly attacking her while she's down. I don't think any other villain would even approach the level of hatred and fear Bloom feels for the Trix in this moment. I think Valtor would come the closest (blinding Aisha for the fear, killing Daphne for the hatred), but it would be a little damped because that's the third time something like this has happened and this is the first so it would be more raw
Tumblr media
Holy shit Bloom has been beaten unconscious and Icy is fucking grabbing at her, this is so creepy (but like in a good way that brings me into the story)
Icy is definitely a little obessed with Bloom and that makes their nemesis status so much scarier. Imagine the person that nearly killed you and your parents being obsessed with you???
Valtor's terrifying stalker connection with Bloom has nothing on Icy's obsession
Bloom goes though the batter with a new stalker every year in s1-3
Hyper empathy is annoying bc a children's show with the worlds worst writing will make me start crying
I cannot help myself!!! What the Trix (esp Icy) is doing to Bloom is just so awful, I need Bloom to get a hug stat
Ahhhh this is such good villain writing, I love the Trix as villains rn, and I also want to see Bloom get bloody revenge
Ok but Bloom having her powers physically ripped out her body must of been so painful
Top 5 most traumatizing days for Bloom right here
Bloomy ;-;
Ok but I am genuinely crying and it is very annoying, why am I like thisssss
EP 19:
They only took part of Bloom's power right? Bc Bloom can get back into Alfea
I love it when Flora has grumpy faces
Grisleda mind your fucking business
🥺 Grisleda being naturally scary but not intending to scare the girls 🥺🥺🥺 she made Bloom tea
This is the only version of Griselda, I have a character arc planned
Fragona: no I know
The LOOK Girselda gives Faragona when she admits that she's been a fucking lying liar to Bloom is impeccable
Grisleda is NOT impressed
Bloom is actually going to attack Fragona and I'm p sure Grisleda would let her
Faragona: OHHHHH, I've done fucked up
Fixing Griffins personality so she's an adult has to be one the first things I do jfc
Stormy is so fucking over board with her attacks. She's such an amazing villain, out of all of them she's the one I love to watch/hate the most. I root for her defeat and have fun watching her have fun and the same time
(OMG KAREN!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE WITCHES!!! 23:40!!! MY GIRL!!!)
Wait if Stormy = chaotic evil
Then does?
Icy = lawful evil
Darcy = neutral evil
Or
Icy = neutral evil
Darcy = lawful evil
????
I lean more towards the first one
Stormy is truly the best pure evil villain in this show. Icy is better for plot reasons, but Stormy's fun is just so contagious it's just fun to watch her
Griffin flinched away from the Trix after they threatened her students......Grisleda would never, anyways
Darcy is the one taking care of the army of decay....ok but what if Griffin is telling the truth, no one CAN control the army. It ends up controlling you. The Trix are blinded by hubris or something, and they were defeated before this could happen to them
Faragona: instead of sending a magic camera to CT, let's just wait
Sky repeatedly calling Bloom.....
It's dedicated at least, he could learn to read the room tho
THE ONE TIME RIVEN CHOOSES NOT TO JUST CONTACT DARCY MENTALLY
Tbh the show should of leaned into the Sky Riven rivalry to highlight how similar they are before the cheating this as like a little early warning system
Doesn't Riven know that the Trix have been kicked out
Riven is so loud, and agressive, motherfucker they have magic. Lighting hurts. Cool your jets
Riven: Attacking and nearly killing people is fine, but I draw the line at sitting on a teacher's desk
I think this is the only time Stormy does the nail slice thing and it's on Riven....they had to be some kind of friends while Riven was unaware
"you were fundamental to our success!" He was?
Did Darcy literally summon him here just so they could mock him and throw him into a dungeon??
Riven really thinks he can fight someone with magic
I'd decribe Darcy more as a spider than a snake
Disbursal magic like Musa's wouldn't be that effective, but incineration like Bloom and Stella would be
But, they'd have to be separated before they could be incinerated
That is all
Oh god thoese things are covering the school quickly..... They're not big enough to really hurt yet but that must be terrifying for the freshmen
Tumblr media
Those fuckers definitely nearly killed someone, hopefully everyone could transform :(
"I'll teach you that next year" ok but Palladium my beloved????
FARAGONA WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU IN YOUR OFFICE
Cutting them apart should not do much of anything. You'd need to disintegrate the smaller ones
Tumblr media
Her hair
How the fuck with Diaspro know that shit is going down at RF? If she does, them why aren't more planets reacting to this??? You'd think Solaria, and more, would send people to save their princes and princesses??? Right???
Was Dia just sticking around after everything to demand answers from Sky?
Dia really said "don't be silly, your a prince. Let these peasants fight for you!" Like she doesn't live in the magical dimension
Diaspro just glares and leaves hmm
Anyways why isn't the whole magical dimension reacting to this? The Trix must of done something to outer planet communication right?
They'd probably attack the magical cell towers and electricity plants to stop people from escaping
Teleportation is a high level skill and they're had to be a military on magix's but they're probably more concerned with saving the city that the Trix are also attacking than the schools
OH!!
Unless the Trix isolate the magical schools???
EP 20:
They should really plan to consolidate troops
Knut: this is no place for us anymore
.....and what, pray tell, made you finally realize that?
Darcy would absolutely treat the army of bugs like her children
Why is Fragona not addressing the whole school?
"and that makes them utterly invincible!"
Bloom defeats Icy with only her magic Winx. She gets Enchantix later. Icy technically isn't that strong rn
This could be adequately addressed by each of the Trix needing multiple people to take them done (one taking on the full Winx club + Griselda, one being taken on by Griffin + Faragona + Saladin, ect) something like that
Fragonda is just guessing at this point
Important question, but why aren't they consolidating power between schools? RF and Alfea should be moving together rn
Bloom must be having an emotional moment here on Domino
Bloom hugging Tecna, "oh Tecna your so great", we love it
Are the Trix fucking with the girls on Domino??
Knut...how are you just realizing this
These schools have barely any students, these are some tiny ass schools
My favorite part about Winx is that it's actually hard to do spot the main character bc all of the background characters look weird as fuck too
Brandon looks a bit like an extra compared to most of these guys
Why doesn't Knut work at RF if that was the first place he thought to go
Why didn't they bring out the dragons sooner....why were the dragons just left in there
Tumblr media
Icy made a ice dragon....dragon fire maybe doesn't inherently mean fire powers?
These girls will do anything before transformation
Tumblr media
omg little heart shapes!!!!

Infamous ask meme for miss camy 🎤🎶: Do you have headcanons about their friendship and/or romantic relationship (past or future)? What do you imagine some of their best memories are? What do you think some of Seven’s favourite things about your MC were/are? & What does their singing voice sound like? Do you have voiceclaims(s) for them?
tytyy!!! I only have the one comm of Camy so im not going to do what I normally do and add a pic
Seven
OUGH. Well with their friendship I imagine that Seven was her one friend for like almost the whole of middle school, I imagine she was teased a lot of pushed to the side a lot due to her unwillingness to open up or engage with others. Which is why she turned hard to music (and I imagine it was kind of her one solace by being so alone.) So the idea that Seven understood that kind of loneliness and had similar coping mechanisms likes meant that she opened up to him and really no one else in those days. I also imagine when they were young they went on like lil adventures, getting into places they shouldn't have; it's not like they had anyone home for them, so might as well explore their neighborhood and beyond. Also imagine that they could have some tropes and probably in MS/HS is when they started sleeping together (literally tho lol) here and there. Camy's parents were always traveling or when a parent was home they were still absent. So she would sneak out on some of the worse nights, the really lonely nights, full of dread and frustration and despair, and find the one other lonely heart she knows will get it. So she'd sneak to Seven's house (sometimes breaking in through his window) and sleepover. And there might have been a time where Seven was like "bro NOT tonight Im having [this month's crush] over 😏" and she's just like ............WHY AM I SO UPSET ABOUT THIS??? THIS SUCKS SM??? IM HAVING A NORMAL REACTION TO THIS, WHATEVER!!!! but texts back like "wow your loss🙄" I think they started their relationship when she was in college and was living in her own place (and they were ROOMMATES) and I think some of their best memories were just impromptu jam sessions at their place, spontaneous plans/trips/concerts that they would go to, and just generally performing together. I THINK some of the most favorite things are just how sure of herself she became, how confident, esp when he knew where she really came from. She's not afraid to do new things, try new things, and she was sure to make sure he was along for the ride. There was never a dull moment and she also about as eager and affectionate as he was.
Voice
SOOO gotta preface by saying my taste in music is SO NORMIE so lmao don't judge me I imagine Chaos Anthem is a mix of like 4 parts Paramore, 2 parts Spiritbox, 2 parts In This Moment, 1 part Santana, 1 part Halestorm But her voice is generally Courtney LaPlante (who can sing like this and go v.hard rock too) with a dose of Hayley Williams.
