Charmix Power: A Tribute
Mar. 2nd, 2007 01:00 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
spiderbraidsYesterday, I uploaded a two-video tribute to Charmix. Well, it's not exactly "tribute" as much as "compiling every single Charmix attack in S2", but still...
Instead of transcribing the whole thing, I'll just excerpt from it and leave out unimportant lines.
Quotes and scene summary
(We begin with Stella and Layla being surrounded by wolves)
Layla: Think that Charmix might work here?
Stella: It's worth a try! Go Charmix!
(Cue Charmix transformation. Stella shoots two sunpower balls at a wolf, and fades back to her vacation casuals)
S: Dunno if I can do that again... Let's motor!
(Stella and Layla run off)
(We pick up the action later in the chase, and once again, the two are surrounded with more monsters)
L: We need some backup!
S: Go Charmix!
(Cue Charmix transformation. Stella creates a flare shot from her mirror brooch, and everyone sees it)
(Later, Sky and Brandon swordfight the monsters as Bloom tells them to run)
Sky: Bloom look out!
(A "pterodactyl" swoops towards Bloom. Jump cut to Musa)
Musa: Go Charmix!
(After the transformation, Musa flies into the air as her treble clef brooch flashes, and she empties this attack on to a wolf)
M: Maximum Volume!
(Bloom thinks it's awesome that Musa has her Charmix, but we're not done yet, as Musa taps her Charmix purse [a CD player], before flinging her arms to knock out the "pterodactyl")
(Two cents: Coolest solo Charmix attack? Totally.)
(Now, Riven and Musa are under a rock, with Riven telling Musa to get into position. Timmy has a plan, and at this point, Tecna doesn't trust him with any plans, but that's besides the point)
Timmy: You're first Musa.
M: Okay, I'm all set!
Ti: Use your magic on the water.
M: Okay, let's go Charmix!
(After the transformation, Musa is over the water)
M: Sound Waves!
(The water rushes over the stone wall she built earlier, flooding the Trix. [Nelson]HAH-HAH!)
(Two cents: Musa's Charmix attacks? Always cool.)
(Meanwhile, Layla has been lost for a while now. She's just walked into a cave, but she's at a dead end. She begins to hear everyone calling her name. We see a hole in the cave roof, with sunlight shining into a pool of water)
L: My friends... they're in danger... I can feel it... THEY NEED ME!! I'VE GOT TO HELP THEM!! But I'm stuck in here I CAN'T!!
(But then, her hopelessness ends here)
L: No. I've got to find a way out of here and help my friends NO MATTER WHAT!!
(Layla then sees a brooch appear on her chest and realizes she has her Charmix, and immediately transforms. After the transformation, she flies up through the hole in the cave roof. She hears Bloom calling her name the moment she gets out, and she sees Bloom with the pixies. The pixies couldn't be happier to see her, and Bloom is pretty happy that Layla has her Charmix)
(Two cents: Bloom gets her Charmix first, and what does she do when the Trix attack solely to get at her? She ends up using up her time looking for Layla, instead of transforming and trying out her new powers. Shucks.)
(After the vacation, the Winx, minus Layla and Flora, take on a goblin in a classroom... and the goblin seems to be winning)
Griselda: Your regular powers won't cut it. If you don't use your Charmix, it will beat you.
Bloom: Alright girls. Charmix time. Let's go.
(Cue transfor... er, not so fast. The goblin teleports behind them almost as soon as Bloom says "Let's go" and knocks them over like bowling pins. HAH-HAH!)
M: Quick! Charmix!
Rest: GO!
(Okay, NOW cue transformation sequence, and it's the first transformation for Tecna and Bloom, as well as the first team Charmix transformation. Musa attacks with sound waves. Then Tecna puts the goblin in a cage [like her non-Charmix Digital Web]. Then Bloom attacks at the caged goblin. Then Stella.)
Tecna: Great, we've got it trapped. What's next Bloom?
B: Musa, you finish it off!
(Musa does her attack, and the goblin gets powdered)
Avalon (clapping his hands): TERRIFIC!
(Bloom comments that the goblin wasn't so tough, but Griselda decides on a do-over [and then some]. But that's when Francis comes in and takes the Charmixed Winx to Faragonda's room, so no do-over for them)
(Two cents: Is it just me, or is Grizelda's do-over speech at odds with her expressions and putting her hand on Stella's shoulder?)
(Two words: ICE CRUSHER!!!)
Chatta: Thassa pretty big piece of ice Flora and I think it's dotally gonna CRUSH US!!!
Flora: Don't panic Chatta... I'll handle it!
(Two cents: The first half of her line... okay. The second half... not so much.)
F (at the open hatch): Go Charmix!
(Okay, cue transformation for Flora, and then she goes out)
F: Giant vines, let's go!
(Darcy is incredulous that their attack is being foiled with vines. [Viewers too, but for different reasons :-)] Icy decides to back it up with her Blizzard Blanket. Meanwhile, Flora is back in)
Chatta, Stella, Helia, Timmy and Musa: WAY TO GO FLORA!
(Flora fades back to her casuals)
(Two cents: Worst Charmix break-in? Definitely. Worst Charmix use ever? Hold your horses...)
(Later, still with the giant vines, the Ice Crusher, AND the Blizzard Blanket, Tecna and Timmy are coming up with a plan)
M: It's so cold even my pigtails are freezing! Any progress yet?
Ti: We're close to coming up with a solution. Tecna and I just have to make a few more calculations.
S: Forget it! No more stupid calculations! I'm gonna go out there and use my Charmix!
Ti (pointing at the screen with a CG wireframe visual of the Ice Crusher resting on the giant vines surrounding the ship) No, Stella. We have a plan. Look, it's gonna work!
S: You can plan all you want, but I'm in a TUBE TOP DRESS, and it's ridiculously cold in here, so I'm gonna go fix this RIGHT NOW!
(Two cents: I can't be the only one thinking that Stella is being foolish by overriding LOGIC. Couldn't she have at least waited for Timmy to explain the plan and WHY it'll work first?)
S (in the ship's boot): Go Charmix!
(Unlike Flora, she doesn't go out after her transformation, instead performing her attack from inside the ship)
S: Solar Blast!
(The ice around the ship melts, while the vines catch fire. But as you'll see, the Ice Crusher is somehow unaffected... eh?)
Ti: She did it. We are regaining power!
Helia: The engine just needs a minute to warm up.
(But Tecna notices a BIG problem right now...)
T: The vine barrier caught on fire. That thing's gonna crush us!
(The T's co-perform an emergency takeoff as the Ice Crusher comes down. Not bad for having to completely change their plans in a pinch, as Flora praises their teamwork)
(Two cents: Now THIS is the worst Charmix use ever. I mean, none of the others could have proven fatal... The drama here? Not that necessary.)
Part two I'll put up later.
