spiderbraidsOkay, so winxrocks continues to lash out at me for not hating 4K's dub of Winx.
Lash-out #1: My first comparisons video for Magical Reality Check.
wr: Are you siding with 4kids or what?
SB: No, I'm just taking things at face value. You should really watch the 2nd MRC comparisons vid though... Seriously, could you at least try to be a bit more open-minded?
wr: 4kids version, gripping? "The Flame will restore the magnificence of a distant past" sounding more gripping than "We will rule everything and everybody". Also, remember how the Winx fought the tree and the monster in the black-mud swamp instead of really looking for the plant they wanted. Flora could easily change her mind to fighting the witches for the test. And in what way is the "problem solved"?
SB: The "problem" was that Flora's specialty is growing plants, which would fit the "dead planet" test, yet in the original, she's taking the other one instead. By not having the other one to begin with, Flora has to take this exam, and thus, the problem is solved.
wr: She took the other one because in the other episode, she fought with the rest of the Winx girls instead of really looking for the plant she wanted, thus it gave her more confidence to take the other one.
SB: But the "dead planet" test plays straight to her strengths. So logically, she should be picking this one, regardless of anything else.
wr: Fine, whatever you say, still, I think it was stupid of 4kids to take out the other option.
My two cents: Flora may have just fought a monster and an evil tree, but that still doesn't mean that she should be passing over anything that plays on her forte in the midterms. She needs good grades! If she'd happened to fail the exam, her Winxmates would have been all over her not taking the easier-for-her exam. (Thinks of Griffin deliberately pairing Bloom off with Tecna in 2x17)
I bet winxrocks thinks 4K was stupid for that edit simply because it was an edit. She probably thinks EVERY change in the Winx dub is a "Diaspro's rant" mangle job. (Which is why in my latest vid coming soon, I include a screen saying, "Yeah, it's a good 4K change. So THERE! :P")
Lash-out #2: My new AMV. I put the scene in 2x26 at the start, so that Bloom's "I love you too" leads perfectly into the song. Of course, winxrocks thinks this is a snub against the original, which I do prefer, but still...
wr: Aw, can't you use the original version for the first scene? The 4kids version sounds so corny, "L" word and stuff....
SB: More people watch the 4K version, so they'll be more familiar with that version.
wr: Well, I think you should make people more familiar with the original version, so that more people will watch it instead of the crappy 4kids version.
SB: It's a double edged sword though... there'd be people all, "Hey, that's not how I remember this scene." (It cuts both ways, too... I know I was confused when I first read about Stella getting spelled in 1x09...)
Two cents: It's art. Just let it slide, winxrocks.

It's not bad. I prefer the "I love you" though. It's finally Sky committing to someone after being such a jerk to her (and Diaspro) in the past.
