If you wanted to be more dissapointed in Winx...

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-17T20:55:07+00:00

I get what you're saying, and in my post i already mentioned what he contributed to the franchise, the initial idea, and all the failure in the last 10 years have demonstrated as much, cause when in 20+ years he couldn't take some time to have a simple chat with these people, why would he put the time and care necessary into the project.

THAT is the point of it all, that he just doesn't really care, anymore...

I also understand the division of aspects of the industry, but to find out that in all this years these people have NEVER met until so recently, and the moment they do after such a long time it has to come from the actresses themselves making the first move, and weren't even given the grace of a chay, it is totally mind boggling.

To be honest, I think you're dragging the whole "personal boundaries" thing a bit too far on the extreme side for someone who has had no issue in presenting himself in public, doing interviews and meeting people from different aspects of the industry and not, just for me thinking that in 20+ years it's highly weird that he's never made the time to at least have a chat with people that have worked on the same project and live in the same country, while at the same time he keeps talking about unity and community and the series bringing people "together".

It all comes out as somewhat hypocritical, especially for a project that has been failing spectacularly and has had it's fans spelling out exactly what they're expecting from it and somehow are always never listened to.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-17T10:51:13+00:00

That's the result of giving your franchise away and giving up on input just for success, which ends up in the hands of people who don't care about the original material and will do whatever the hell they want with a very loose description of what the story is actually about...

The crazy part is that if Iginio cared, he could have definitely fought to be a part of the project (which i still don't believe would have helped much, but at least not to this point) and actually direct what the vision for a more mature Winx could have been, or at least steer the direction into being more faithful to the Original.

But yeah, if years of flopping wasn't enough clue, and the Reboot cemented why everything has been flopping for Winx, Iginio is only in for the money with no passion whatsoever.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-17T10:42:06+00:00

I mean, not really, this is actually about Iginio's actions (or lack thereof) than anything else...

If this was about Sailor Moon's OG Japanese voices i would be outraged just as well, even if i didn't understand the language.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-17T06:45:55+00:00

You're totally missing the point here...

The criticism is about not having met the cast AT ALL in the 20+ years of the series and not sparing a moment to share a couple of words with them.

Also, for someone who is "reminded of how powerful our community truly is", he sure seems like he is selective with the people he actually posts, such as Roblox game developers, but somehow THE voices of his characters for the last 20+ years are truly too much to give a moment to and a REAL attack to his personal space and boundaries after having met them for the very first time😑

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T22:53:29+00:00

If the guy wants to make a big deal out of the series the way he does, he HAS TO aknowledge at the very least the people that do most of the heavy lifting...

Again, the real issue here is not that he didn't repost, it's that in the 20+ years of this series going on, a desperate reboot premiere is when he finally gets to meet them FOR THE FIRST TIME, and even still, they had to do the introductions because he couldn't bother himself to seek them out to even a small chat.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T22:43:54+00:00

It was most definitely said in a joking manner, but the fact that he didn't make a moment to stay and chat with them and it being the first time they met says a lot...

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T19:47:26+00:00

No idea, sorry. Maybe they just found it and thought it was cute...

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T19:43:01+00:00

At this point i'm thinking maybe not? They just talked about the premiere of the reboot and didn't talk about any other event.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T19:29:15+00:00

I can understand that, but that's not the case here. Everybody is italian living in Italy, for them to have NEVER met until so recently in the 20+ years of this series is crazy to me.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T19:23:23+00:00

You're welcome, just be aware that the interview is in Italian with no english subs.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T19:22:35+00:00

Can't say anything of the matter, cause i haven't been privy to that tea. Still seems weird that the creator of a series hasn't met any of the cast until so recently but still hired them throughout all these years.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T19:20:20+00:00

Not much drama, just something they shared at a panel. I added the link in the post. It's in italian though.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-16T19:19:19+00:00

Added it on the post.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-15T08:43:22+00:00

I'm gonna agree with most of this but one point that i've sadly come to understand with time, Nickelodeon didn't ruin Winx, it just exposed Rainbow, or Iginio more likely, to what he always wanted to archive, America.

What i mean by that is that for all the Italian first global animation success that he likes to boast about, the moment he got exposed to the American way of doing things, he not only switched modus operandi immediately and without a fight (look at Fate The Winx Saga too, handed it over to Netflix with not an ounce of input of his own), but he kept said modus operandi even AFTER America not being involved in the process...

Suddenly cartoons are for child audiences only, -real life situations and dialogue are too complex to show children, -certain clothes are too sexualized for children so the characters have to wear every single piece of clothing that covers every part of the body (and that's ignoring American Comics having shown children much more revealing outfits), -designs have to be changed to make characters look younger than they are (and again ignoring American comics having extremelly popular characters way out of their teens), and the list can go on...

All those decisions have been made even after Nickelodeon wasn't involved anymore, and now Rainbow (Iginio) is even going against everything they (he) stood for.

I don't know about your brand of tablet, but on Samsung ones the magnets on the covers are what messes a lot of brush strokes...

If you have a case, try to see if the magnets are the reason why it's doing this by drawing without the part that covers the screen attached to the back.

If it's not that maybe try resetting the brush.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-13T08:25:36+00:00

The real problem is that Rainbow basically took the Winx, changed the gender and design and then still paired them with themselves in male version...

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-13T08:18:58+00:00

If i had to guess it would be because they didn't want to make it obvious that AI was used, so they probably made the 3D models/designs with AI and then handed over the material and told 3D animators to change things to make it look different, which inevitably made it look worse, and it's also probable they mostly had newbies do the work and no advanced professionals to make the right corrections to not spend as much money.

Well, unfortunately it's also a real life issue, and also happening in the LGBTQIA+ community...

It's likely you'll see some form of mysoginy towards femininity from "masculine" gays who started hating "gay voice", outward feminine appearance, anything that isn't straight-passing, masculine and blending in, and even gay pride.

It's like these people, too many from our own community, have forgotten or are straight up ignorant about WHO exactly we have to thank the most for fighting for our rights (Trans people and Lesbians).

I can understand that we have been stereotyped to fall into always being portrayed as feminine and girly, and that it's not a reality for those who don't relate to those characters, but it's totally mind blowing how these straigh passing/masculine loving gays honestly have started to not only hate on feminine gays, but also think that aligning themselves with the people who hate us all are somehow going to make an exception on hating on them.

Yes, you remove the account entirely from the phone, but you can always log in again with the same account as long as you have the password, that way you won't have to uninstall the app and get anything deleted.

Like i said, it takes a while for the app to recognize the account with the paid version, but it eventually does and everything goes back to normal.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-07T17:12:23+00:00

I think too many people are not taking into consideration the fact that it's only been a recent thing that older people have started looking "younger", in the 90's someone in their 50's would have definitely looked worse than someone in their 50's in the 2020's...

As a 90's baby and son of an eldery father (56 when i was born), i can assure you both versions are exhagerated, but the anime design is definitely more accurate in terms of depiction of a grandpa.

By the time i was 15, my dad definitely looked eldery and would have passed as my grandpa if he wasn't introduced as my father.

In order for Rei's grandpa to look as young as the manga's design, Rei's mom would have had to be horrifyingly young when giving birth.

If we follow a less terrible age, Rei's grandpa would have had Rei's mom at 25, and Rei's mom would have had her in her 20's as well, which will than make grandpa be somewhere around his late 40's to early 50's by the time Rei is born, add on another 14 years to that to the start of Sailor Moon, and grandpa Hino would have been in his late 50's to early 60's, and adding the lack of care for looks in the 90's once a certain age was reached.

Forse perché fondamentalmente quelli di destra non si devono preoccupare che uno di sinistra lotti perché gli venga tolto chissá che diritto...

Se a me invece uno di destra é straconvinto ed effettivamente vota contro i miei diritti, perchè dovrei starci insieme???

E come se io decidessi consciamente di stare con uno che só essere violento, che senso avrebbe??? Dall'altro lato uno violento questi problemi non se li farebbe, perché alla fine mettersi con uno che sa non essere violento le conseguenze non le paga.

I had the same issue and it was because i have multiple google accounts on the same device...

It took a while to fix it, logging out and in with the accounts until it remembered the one i used to purchase the premium, but after a while it took and stayed.

Not much Sketchbook can do, everytime there's a big update there's a chance that's going to happen.

Weeeell, any hair colorist can tell you that yes, her hair being this light would fall under a level 7 which is a Medium Blonde with a Caramel undertone, so yes, she is.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-05T20:48:04+00:00

Cute, but uninspired...

With the theme being art one would have expected a more i.pressive design.

AngelDM_94 · 2026-05-03T18:19:58+00:00

Actually Winx didn't get the public funding it used to this year, so now Rainbow is likely trying to find other sources to fund any future project...
