JUST SAY BIĪs I said, Beatrix, Riven, and Dane form kind of a throuple. And we interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast for my pure rage. Considering how he’s the one to bring up outdated tech, you could maybe make a very weak but hilarious case for him being Tecna, actually, but mostly as a joke. There is a black love interest in later seasons, but he does not deserve the comparison. We never even saw him get bullied or anything, and Terra was perfectly nice to him up until he publicly humiliated her in a video posted to a social media website by the very girl he is now standing by.ĭane, as far as I can tell, is not based on anyone. His reasoning for being so deeply loyal to Beatrix is that she allegedly was the only one to ever treat him kindly. Where Riven seems to be along for the ride for the fun of it all, Dane seems to be genuinely swayed and convinced by Beatrix and her shady dealings, so much so he plays a key role in the chain of events that leads to the disastrous consequences at the end of the show. The one time a black person is properly lit on this show.
Honestly, the latter half of Winx Club season 1 is a RIDE, and not a bad one. He kind of gets a small redemption arc from that, even, and a bonding moment with… The headmistress of the witch school. In the cartoon, Darcy put him under a spell before he was a thing with Musa it was still painful though. The most cartoon-accurate thing they do with him is that he dates Beatrix. And I’m the one being perpetually baited by bad guys here.) The comment section on this might have made me lose some faith in humanity. (To editorialize a bit: I found a clip of their conversation on youtube, and apparently, my opinion that him and Musa are just generally better apart is a very unpopular one. He also has really fun interactions with Stella and Terra, and even if his brief talk with Musa made me scream, that was fun, too. He occasionally butts heads with Sky, but they’re technically buddies. The show kept… Hints? Of some of those things? None of the pink hair or the bold fashion choices, but the bad attitude. He has a chip on his shoulder, a stick up his ass, and an inferiority complex the size of cloud tower, which leads him to frequently butt heads with Prince Sky. Also pink hair and being voiced by Sam Riegel for a while in one of the dubs, I think one so late into the game it’s the only one available for those seasons.
Riven and DaneĪs mentioned last time in the Musa section, Riven is actually sort of based on a show character called Riven, known for his bad attitude, midriff-baring questionable fashion choices, and having a rollercoaster of a relationship with Musa. I am not even sure whether she completely manipulated the two people I’m going to talk about next, or just recruited them because she genuinely thought they’re a good fit, or if the truth lies in the middle. It’s a pretty cool twist.Īnd in another twist, well. So much so that I refuse to take anything she claims to be as fact the only thing I believe is that she was raised for this by someone who… Seriously should have had better things to do. And maybe the best performance both within the show and on a meta level.Įverything the light hides is your plot, Bloom. And then convincingly pretends to be tortured. Dowling while obfuscating the fact that she committed both murder and grand theft auto. She’s the one who gets Bloom to believe that the school’s administration committed war crimes and fans the flames of Bloom already mistrusting Ms. Well, okay, I might be inferring here, we don’t really learn about the why she was raised to unleash someone sealed away for war crimes shortly after she was born. She eats up every scene she’s in, plays Bloom and honestly most people like a fiddle, and has the unhinged kind of charisma you’d expect from a kid raised, essentially, by cultists. But yeah, they had to write out the technology fairy.Īnyway, Beatrix is great. In this particular iteration of elemental magic, though, wind includes both lightning and short-circuiting cellphones. They say she has wind powers, but as far as I remember, we never actually see her doing anything with wind.
Beatrix gets Stormy’s powers, Icy’s character, and Darcy’s love life.
