The Editor's Spotlight: A Disloyal Adversary / Dark Sky
3x08: A Disloyal Adversary / Dark Sky
At the beginning of the episode...
Unedited: Bloom has a nightmare in which the others show up to taunt her for not having anyone left from her home planet to save and thus earn her Enchantix. Layla shows up at the end.
Edited: Quite a bit of the nightmare is cut out, including the part Layla shows up.
I remember TF writing in her review something along the lines of "Layla doesn't appear in Bloom's nightmare. I wonder why." These are the kinds of edits that really bother me, edits that results in scenes that leave the reviewers scratching their heads :-\
When Sky's parents show up at the party:
Unedited: They're identified as King Erendor and Queen Samara.
Edited: We do NOT get their names, as they're only identified as the King and Queen of Eraklyon.
Since the random royal couple that appears before them are identified by name, this change seems puzzling. (And was another issue TF brought up)
Sky decides to shoot magic arrows at the Winx.
Unedited: Layla makes an awesome scream before transforming, and puts up a Enchanted Morphix wall.
Edited: Layla's awesome scream gets cut out, and her spell is now called a Rubber and Glue spell.
Stella gets her Enchantix.
Unedited: We have Bloom and Layla making comments on Stella getting her Enchantix.
Edited: We only get Bloom's comment.
At the end...
Unedited: Stella: "We both left something behind didn't we?"
Edited: Stella: "My father wanted to go back to Solaria and pretend to still be under Cassandra's spell. He thinks that's the best way to defeat her." (Stella is only actually shown speaking that last part, that's why the 4K line is much longer)
Similar to the Sphere of Truth, this edit will affect a later plot point.
P-girl and mightymarty2 (latter being moderator for the Winx board I posted these at) had thoughts on the end:
P-girl: Ooooh, I forgot that one. The 'We both left something behind' is a very powerful moment. And 4Kids messed it up.
mightymarty2: I have to agree that is a much better line than 4kids
