“The audience I’m seeking to tap into comprises those who, just like the audience for the Netflix series, are nostalgic for the original animation series 20 years ago, and also families who want to go to the movies with children aged 10 and up,” Straffi said. “The Netflix series drew heavily on the existing characters, but also created a mood that is a bit darker.”
He added, “There will be dark shades, but the mood will be closer to the DNA of the animation series — especially the bad guys, The Trix, [whom] everybody was waiting for in the third installment of the Netflix series.”
Straffi will be traveling to L.A. next week to shop the big-budget feature film to U.S. studios, but it will be a “Winx” film, not a “Fate” film, he said.

when will people learn that live-action remakes will never be good as their original animated counterparts because the glory of animation is the colour, movement, and fantasy that's just untranslateable to live-action

Winx theory ✨
In season 1, episode 8, the dancing girl that reminds Bloom of Daphne is actually Layla. Maybe, sneaking out of Andros to be herself and dance.
Source: my 8 year old brain.
Idk. My favourite trope is the found-family friends subtly crossing paths before they first meet. This fuels that - so I don’t accept constructive criticism.

Anyone else impressed that the writers and creators of Fate actually listened to us?
They gave us what we wanted, I mean let's be honest, the first three episodes were long and useless but they listened and they gave us:
- Flora
- Musa and Riven
-Aisha's backstory being similar to the cartoon
-a clear season 2 plot line (very similar to season 2 in the cartoon)
-Valtor (Sebastian's last name was Valtor)
-Beatrix having two sisters (like the Trix)
-Little Easter Eggs and things here and there that were a node to the cartoon.
There was a lot of writing errors that made the show a little cringe sure but I sure as hell enjoyed it once we hit episode 4. I'm impressed and I can wait till season 3.

Winx Reboot Ideas Pt.1
 (Please note: This would be with my dream cast if it was live action)
Some of the characters names would change:
Musa-Xan
Tecna-Octavia (Via)
Flora-Kimber 
Season 1 Ideas (not many changes actually, season 1 was pretty consistent): 
Stella and Bloom are a day late to the beginning of Sophomore year at Alfea, the first day was the day Stella met Bloom in the woods of Gardenia.
Give Bloom more of her 4kids personality, mixed with a bit of her World of Winx personality. Have it be that she got into fights at school and because of that got suspended often.
Octavia and Kimber get along the least since their such opposites when it comes to showing emotions.
The final straw between the two is when one of Kimber’s magic seeds entangles Octavia in their closet. After a bit of arguing, Kimber can’t take it anymore and decides to go to the swamp to study for her test.
Hence where episode 11 comes in, only instead of Bloom and Octavia saving the day it’s Kimber and Octavia,
Domino is still very well known in the magical dimension, since it was only destroyed 16 years ago, which is no where near long enough to be forgotten to history.
Xan and Stella actually form a bond near the middle of the season as he begins to experiment with his gender, luckily Stella is there to help.
One night, when Bloom is on the porch flirting with Sky in the middle of the night, Xan gets so fed up with their cheesiness he uses a small sound wave to shut the door, purposely locking Bloom on the porch.
During the tests, it’s revealed Flora (right now) is the most powerful student but doesn’t seem to see it as a big deal and instead thinks everyone is just as powerful in their own ways…needles to say she’s quite popular.
Stella FAILS her test (screw you Ms. Magic episode, no one likes you), which leads to her question how often she uses her family’s magic (ring/staff of solaria for example) instead of her own.
Xan keeps the projection thing of his mom on a ring (looks less goofy and more meaningful since it shows how close he was to her).
The winx actually get in trouble for causing such a ruckus at the specialists tournament not just with Bloom fighting Diaspro, but revealing prince Sky and Brandon’s true identities, and even sneaking around the walls of the tournament. Needless to say their magic gets taken away.
The other winx try to play it off and act normal, but they can’t even look at Bloom, at least not until she leaves Alfea.
The rest of season one’s hijinks ensue, since it’s actually really well done. Timmy and Via don’t hook up just yet, as the season goes on, they do go from awkward small talk to talking about video games non-stop whenever they see each other. 
Riven and Xan’s relation is just as messy as it in the first season of the original…if not more. 
They do hangout a bit more in than in the original, Xan even discovers Riven used to play violin to which he delightfully teases him about ‘til Riven plays it surprisingly well for him.
The main problem is Riven hasn't fully accepted his sexuality yet, and because of that whenever he feels like he’s getting TOO close to Xan, he pushed both himself and Xan away aggressively. This is why Xan gets so depressed when he sees Riven with Darcy at the bar in Magix.

How NOT to write a story
Using a bad Netflix show/Fate: The Winx Saga as a basis
Part 1 - How NOT to start a Story (episodes 1 & 2)
Introduction
Like I said on a previous post, I decided to leave that live action Winx show on while working on some assignments. The show’s quality left a bitter taste on my mouth and the persistent thought of “Man, I could have written something better”. So I decided to use this shit show as a little guide of mistakes and pitfalls to avoid, based on each episode. I would like to preface this by saying that I’m not a professional writer or anything like that. I’m at best an amateur with a huge mouth and a desire to avoid working on stuff I should actually be working on, so ignore any typos because my brain is small and lacking it’s thinking juice. That said, grab some water and grab some blankets, because this is going to be long.
“The first sentence/scene is the most important!!”
The idea that the first scene in a movie/series or that the first sentence/page in a book is the most important is not baseless. From setting the tone of your story to quickly grabbing your audience attention, the beginning of the beginning is going to set up expectations. That said, it’s not enough to simply show a quick action scene expect that to be enough. Whatever you choose to show on the very start of your narrative, it better be relevant later on in more ways than one. I’m talking about the narrative’s themes, arcs, world details, the antagonistic forces, etc.
Now, at first glance Fate’s opening doesn’t seem so bad. It does an okay job at grabbing your attention with some action related to one of this season’s 3 main antagonistic forces. That falls apart, however, when you notice how:
1)The scene as dark af and visually unimpressive. This is meant to take place at a campsite on a magical plane of existence, yet it looks like any normal forest. Idk, put some magical and sparkling moths or something, because otherwise it just doesn’t look like we are in the ‘Other world’ (stupid name but this point isn’t about it)
2)It’s kinda misleading. Blood does appear later on, but not with this touch of gore. It also induces the idea that Fate is a suspense story among other things, and while I guess it has some elements of suspense, it’s all so spaced that it will only disappoint anyone that was looking for, well, a suspense story.
3) The guy that gets killed has little relevance later on, and I honestly think that that’s a waste of potential. I mean, why have him killed if you’re just make a murder mystery with someone else later on? What if instead he was related or friendly to one of characters we meet? His death could have been a stepping stone for someone’s character arc, or at the very least not something that could have been written out with minor modifications.
“Well, the first 2 minutes were not the best, but there’s the whole rest of the episode ahead! Just because they were bad, doesn’t mean that the rest of the episode will be!”
That’s true. Like I’ve said before, the idea that the first scene in a movie/series or that the first sentence/page in a book is the most important is not baseless, however it ignores the fact that your audience can pay attention for more than a few seconds. “It gets good later on” is something we all probably heard at least once, is it not?
In Fate: Winx saga, however, the opposite can be said.
“Let’s speedrun our characters introductions!!”
Just after some guy gets murdered, we cut to a little montage of our main cast arriving to Alfea, and I think it was good, surprisingly. It could have shown a bit more of each the girls personalities and possible struggles, but it wasn’t bad (until it was). Despiste this show being about the Winx Club, the first character that our protagonist, Bloom, meets is Sky, her love interest. Not Stella, the girl who she met first in the og show and who was supposed to tour her around (something that happened for 2 minutes, while showing nothing of Alfea because Stella being a bitch is more entertaining that a fucking school for fairies). Not Aisha, who is her roommate and the only character who is sensible in this entire cast. Not ‘Terra’ nor Musa, but Sky.
Then again, they did remove the ‘Club’ part of the title, so it’s very clear where their priorities lies (and it’s definitely not ‘showing real and genuine friendships between women).
Fine, whatever. At least Sky is an important character to this show. Riven, on the other hand, is not. I always found him annoying in the original show, but in this iteration he’s just the worst. And yet he’s important enough to also make an introduction before any of the other girls? Ugh.
Then we have Beatrice, one of the other antagonists in this season, and you can tell that by the way she talks and glares at others. But her introduction is just…there? She goes to talk to Farah/Faragonda, says some shit and leaves, and that’s it. I don’t want to compare this iteration of the IP with the original show too much, because I think it could have still worked even with so many differences and spins and twists, but damn, it’s just so dull when compared to the original. It’s not threatening, nor funny, nor mysterious, nor charismatic in any other way. It doesn’t even hints at what her deal is. It’s literally “she’s a villain, bye”.
The rest of the main girls introductions are fine, and it shows well what their purpose is in this iteration. Aisha is there to babysit Bloom, Terra is there to be the girls main punching bag, Musa may have some future character arc and is there to say obvious shit (I don’t think I need miss Empath’s help to know said character is upset when they are visibly upset), and Stella is there to be a bitch constantly.
The main problem with all of these characters introductions is that: they happen so, so fast, with barely any room to breath. And speaking of barely any room to breath…
“So like, how do we explain this to the audience?” “Eh, just tell’ em”
Sometimes, exposition is inevitable. Sometimes, you need to sit down an explain wtf is going on for a few paragraphs, maybe a page or two. Fate: Winx Saga doesn’t take a few paragraphs or a few pages to explain it’s lore, backstory, world building, or anything really. It’s entire first episode (out of six, mind you) has many chunk a of pure, and I mean PURE, exposition. And unlike the story’s suspense, it isn’t sprinkled across the episode.
You have a scene where someone is explaining things to Bloom, then the scene changes, and they start explaining something else. You don’t get the joy of discovering something by yourself or seeing the information naturally unravel before your eyes. The information is laid on your plate like pasta without any sort of sauce, and just as you finish eating, more and more is placed. And the worst thing is- they don’t even say anything really interesting? If the pasta was like, some high quality shit, it would still be a drag to eat so much of it in one sitting, but at least the starting bites would at least be somewhat enjoyable.
It’s uncreative, boring and doesn’t flow well at all. And to have all of that right from the beginning would make anyone watching it for the first time likely decide to drop it immediately. Seriously, take this episode as an example on how not to relay information to your audience and don’t do what they did.
I’m sure the world you have built is super interesting and detailed and full of nuances you just can’t wait to share with your audience. But restrain yourself. Too much is going to make what could be appealing into a turn off.
This post has been foi on for a while now, so let’s end on a cliffhanger!
I still have a lot on my mind regarding this show and writing tips and pitfalls in general, however I think that it’s best to restrain myself and leave stuff for other posts. With that said, I’ll probably talk about the writing of the characters and the worldbuilding aspect of it more in depth next, so maybe come back next week?
Also, just saying that if you enjoyed this show, I am very happy for you. Seriously, I may despise this piece of entertainment for many reasons, but I still found some enjoyment there (even if said enjoyment was seeing my friends suffering a bit) and I must say, I was even s bit upset when they canceled it so soon. What I’m trying to say is, something doesn’t have to be ‘good’ for you to be allowed to enjoy it and don’t feel ashamed for liking something that most found dumb or whatever other negative descriptor you have in mind.
Anyways, that’s all for now. Have a fabulous day/night and keep creating, even if it’s not something you consider to be perfect!
