Magix Club's Forum _ Winx News _ New potential rival for Winx

Posted by: SpiderBraids Sep 20 2016, 3:52 PM

Michael Grant reports on a new animated series that is specifically competing against the Winx... and it's even going to be aired on the same channel icon_surprised.gif

It's particularly telling that the article claims that Winx has never been a big success on Nick US (well, considering how it seems that Nick US has pretty much ignored it since towards the end of S5... icon_confused.gif)

QUOTE
Winx, whose parent Rainbow counts Viacom as a shareholder, has been on Nick in the US without attaining the same success it has had elsewhere, and the channel is looking for an action toon for girls in the 6-to-9s.

....
The fact they seem to be specifically gunning to 'rival' Winx and use other antagonistic language does not give me warm, fuzzy feelings. I don't like that kind of purposefully antagonistic marketing. It just feeds into negativity that's already the default for fan spaces too often.
