Season 7: Overall thoughts Options

[SpiderBraids]

Sorry for being slightly late, but anyways, IMO S7 continued the upswing from S6, and here are some other thoughts:

The good
- Roxy finally having a decent role, befitting the fairy of animals in a season about animals
- After the bland Love and Pet pets and the selkies, the Winx get themselves some better companions in the fairy animals... While I couldn't care much less about the others, it was genuinely sad to see the animals leave in the finale
- After years of complaints that the other students never seem to do anything anymore, they (+ Roxy and Daphne) get to defend Alfea while the Winx are busy Miniworld tripping
- Speaking of the Miniworlds, great idea and great design
- A less in-your-face eco message than S5
- Nick Jr. US not dragging its feet on airing the show
- Not rushing to pair up Musa again
- Finally meeting Flora's parents, and spending more time with Tecna's

The not-so-good
- Show still manages to sideline Roxy to an extent, especially with her Stone of Memories getting stolen
- Thought that Helia's initial misgivings about Amarok would lead to some good Florelia drama... Obviously, I would never want them to be the next MuRi or even Bloom/Sky, but don't hint at possible Florelia drama if you're not going to follow through on it (also see S5)
- Brafilius was already getting a bit long on the tooth as Knut 2.0, but after the entire season seemed to be building up to a final battle involving Kalshara and the ultimate power, Brafilius takes it away from her? IMO, that downgrades the final battle quite a bit, because I'm sure a Trix/Kalshara alliance would have been much more interesting (Hmm, and then maybe have Brafilius as the one asking for the Winx's help instead)

Undecided
- The return of the Trix was an interesting surprise, as one never would have expected them to show up, especially given the way they were disposed of the previous season. YMMV whether that makes it a good thing... Anyone hoping that tossing them out of the timestream takes them out of the show for good?
- Fairy outfits... Butterflix was serviceable (huh, Google TTS actually recognizes it ), while Tynix was a bit of a hot mess, esp. with the hair color change...

Ranking: 2, 1, 7, 6, 4, 5, 3.
