So they took a bright and overall optimistic series and gave it the Riverdale treatment. Would love to know what was the reasoning behind getting rid of Flora and Techna only to replace Flora with someone that has the same powerset.

The heck? Here I thought it strange that they would revive such a rather old animated show for live action...only to find out that the animated show ran until last year? ?_?

I found myself in a similar situation with Oggy and the Cockroaches. I thought that only lasted one series and then endlessly repeated, and it turns out it's been as much a long runner as Simpsons and Spongebob. |

Add another to the needless darker and edgier reboot list It's also pointed out that the cast has been whitewashed quite a bit with Musa being recast with a white actress, and Flora being replaced with a new character named Terra played by a white actress |

The girls are suppose to be teenagers yet they all look like they're in their late 20s early 30s

Seens like they took your generic show you'd see on SyFy and slapped Winx's name on it to try and get interest

To paraphrase one review that I read "Fate isn't for Winx fans but I'm not sure who it is for"
It's an adaption that didn't need to exist and has basically nothing to do with the original series, who wanted this?

Fate? I think Type-MOON needs to sue for Trademark infringement.

The creator of the show apparently, he's the one who's been pushing for this for a decade now. I caught the first episode. It isn't bad per say, but there were certainly parts of it I didn't have a particular feel for...and the deal that went down with Bloom and her mom is just so unnecessarily cruel. |

I didn't know this was a kids cartoon thing. Looked interesting I guess. Was thinking of checking it out.

A YouTube channel I follow 'Amanda the Jedi' watched the first season, wasn't a big fan. Talks about the differences between the shows and gives first season rundown. So spoilers are ahead:

Why a show meant for young girls needs a reboot with a TV-MA Rating exists I'll never know.
I'm guessing Snyder is in charge of this
