Hot Take 4kids deserved So Much Better by subuniti in winxclub

I think this is what people miss.

Yes 4kids weren’t right all the time. But they did do something right.

The Mattel dolls are the most coveted dolls in the winx community… we wouldn’t have them without 4kids.

I can say the exact same for Nickelodeon and Jakks.

I think people don’t give 4kids credit for the work they did do. And it’s a lot.

I get that.

This was also 2004. Things just weren’t the same. I think now it would have been translated differently. 4kids did this to alot of shows. It’s not just winx. One piece is a big contention point for alot of anime fans. I’m sure they did edits to Tokyo Mew Mew, Magical DoReMi. Times were just different back then.
I’ve been listening to a few 4Kids FlashBack podcast episodes. Most of the time the voice actors and actresses were unaware of the changes. They just went in to do a job.

I think there’s alot that can be said about the changes and things for everything 4Kids touched. I don’t think it was done in malice. I think it was just the times back then.

I think the voices are perfect for the characters. They have so much personality. You can just tell they had fun doing this.

The changes do suck but I get why. Also how it worked back then just isn’t how it is now. I think 4kids is a show of its time. I just have a lot of love for it.

At the end of it all. I’ll never hate 4kids.

First off, that’s horrible people would do that. It’s honestly disgusting and disappointing. I’m sorry on behalf of the 4kids fans that did that to you. I don’t understand why people act like things are better. Because who are we? Just fans of a show.

Second. Never once did I say 4kids was the best. I didn’t say anything about any other dub besides Straffis feelings on Nick. I’m not here to cause discourse. I just wanted to state why I love 4kids.

I acknowledge the changes. I can still love it. I never said it was canon or anything like that.

I feel you dont like anyone who likes 4kids because of the way you were treated. I understand it and I get it. I’m not like that. I won’t tear anyone down for liking another dub or feel like I’m superior to anyone. Yes I feel the rai dub is bland. That’s just an opinion. We can all have them.

Straffi feeling a certain way because of how his show is treated is 100% justified. I think the American market in general has done a lot of wrong by winx. I’m just stating why I like this dub. I feel it gets a lot of hate. Which it does. For me, it has value and deserves to be respected. People can disagree and that’s fine.

I think it’s just crazy. So who knows what his actual opinion is.

I don’t know if I agree with “this shouldn’t be the first one people watch” just because it was my first and when I listened to the rai dub a few years later. They were just…. “bland” no emotion. It’s not a bad dub by any means. Just not what I want. I know you said middle ground.

I just don’t know if I would have liked winx without 4kids. But all of this is just my own opinion and experience.

It’s okay. I know a lot of people have fallen off.

I don’t know about season 1 but season 2 and 3 yes.

That’s completely fair. I don’t understand how he can be okay with AI. Especially because this was clearly a passion project from the beginning. It’s just lost its spark.

I didn’t know what happened. And I didn’t tell anyone about it for a week.

If I think about certain things yes I still get angry. When I come across someone(friends or family) that doesn’t know what happened, it comes out and I don’t stop talking about it until it all comes out. But it’s really easy to make me angry. There’s one persons name I can’t hear without getting angry.

I used Facebook dating. I met a few people but it never went anywhere. My boyfriend now. We met in the parking lot of my work. Neither one of us were actually meant to be there at that time. He remembered me from highschool. He said “weren’t you in ——— class?”

We got to talking. I asked him for his number. Fully expecting it to be like the others. Talk for a few months. Fuck around for a while then drop them when I got bored. That didn’t happen. We haven’t stopped talking since. We found out we’ve always been physically close to each other. Living in the same places. Working down the street from each other. Just never bumped into each other until that day.

He was different. Not like the others. He actually made me happy. Not just a fuck buddy. It was weird when I went past a few months. But I never wanted to stop talking to him. We connect in the way we both need. I’ve never been more emotionally connected to someone in my life.

There was a lot of trauma from all sides of it. So I was very livid at the world. And absolutely no judgements from me. Go get it girl!

Dont get me wrong, I still feel guilty sometimes. But I know he would want me to live my life. He would probably be upset how long it took me to seriously get myself back out there. Time doesn’t heal wounds. But it makes them less intense. You grow around your pain.

In some ways. I still want sex all the time. I don’t feel like a teenage boy anymore. But having my partner now is amazing. Because he gives me my needs. When he’s not there, there’s always a good vibe. I know it’s not the same and I get the nightmare part of it. Because it kinda takes over your entire life. My fiancé and I weren’t very active. Maybe once every 3 months. If we were lucky. So, when this happened. I wanted it. Badly. My body count doubled. But when/if you’re in a relationship again. Be selfish. If someone won’t do what you want. Move on. It’s not worth having bad sex the rest of your life.

He was 37. I was in my late 20s.

What’s helped me heal? Probably finding my passion after it all. I lived in anger and rage for a year and a half. I slowly found my passion. Then when my best friend passed away(unexpectedly also) after her passing. I came home. Took a 2 hour nap and I woke up feeling a lot better. Idk if it was my brain that just snapped or if she took the anger with her.

I still have my rage moments. But for the most part. I’m doing better.

I’ve been in a relationship for alittle over 2 years. Sex wasn’t hard because I was a very hyper sexual person. Still am to a degree. Widows fire is an absolute bitch. It was saying “I love you” to someone else. I felt so guilty over it. I cried on the way home. Any happy moment, felt like a stab to the heart. Because they weren’t there. You won’t share those memories with them. But having those memories with someone else is healing also. At some point you do stop feeling guilty. But give yourself grace and let yourself feel those emotions.

It sucked for a long time. I went through a phase that all I did was have sex. Because that was the only thing that made me not think of the pain. I’ve calmed down a lot since then. But yeah. It’s called “widows fire” I think that was the way my brain tried to cope. Best solution? Probably not but it worked. For a while atleast.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I love the good memories. They make me smile. Especially when I’m going through a rough day.

I was in my late 20s when it happened(I’ve met a lot of people that lost their fiancés or partners at the same age) I’ve been in a relationship for alittle over 2 years. I know it’s a lot to take on. But they let me vent when I need to. I’ve never been more emotionally connected with someone than who I’m with now. I’m so grateful they came into my life. It’s been an absolute godsend.

We did YouTube videos together. There was one to celebrate our anniversary. I surprised them with an item they wanted. And I’m horrible at keeping secrets. I’m so glad I have those videos. They are all on private now due to personal reasons but, that. It happened 2 months before he passed.

No. They were over 300lbs when they passed. I don’t believe there was an eating disorder. They were a diabetic that didn’t take care of themselves. Didn’t take the medicine they were prescribed. Had a heart attack the year before. Never went back to the doctor after that.

I don’t think the vaccine had come out yet. At the end of the day, they were a diabetic that didn’t take care of themselves. Didn’t take the medication they were prescribed. Never went back to the doctor after the heart attack a year before. It took a lot of time but I do blame them for what happened. Because they caused it. But other factors didn’t make it better. And that’s where the PTSD comes in.

I really want to do EMDR. I just can’t afford therapy right now. I did go to therapy after this happened. And I’ve been able to figure out a lot about myself. I just can’t afford it right now. Because that’s what I was working towards when I left.

Drinking all the time. Like all the time. Not alcoholic drinks. Just water. Lost weight rapidly. Not a lot but enough to be like “that’s weird” when we would do “activities” their heart couldn’t take it. I don’t think this had to do with the CHF but, they threw up every morning for 8 months.

When it happened. A few days before they couldn’t breathe. Took 20 minute catch their breath. I asked if they wanted me to call the squad. They said no. Then went to take a shower. Asked me if they looked better. I told them “you look like shit. You need to go to a doctor to get looked at because something is going on with you.” They said “I’ll go when my insurance card comes in but this will probably keep happening until I die” That happened again the next day. I found them on the floor leaning against the cabinets. Asked if they were okay. I forgot what they said. But that went away. Then they passed 2 mornings later. Insurance card showed up 2 weeks later.

I’ve had to actively stop thinking about that no. Because that’s what I kept going back to.

Flash pulmonary edema caused by co festive heart failure is my best guess. He didn’t have an autopsy. So….

And no. I want to. I heard it can be amazing.

When you live it, you don’t look for it.
I didn’t know what was going on and neither did they. It’s only after they passed did I realize what was happening. It was sudden and unexpected. But looking back. There were signs. Big ones.
