Ever since Roxy arrived on stage (Or in magazine scans), she's been met with weariness, distrust and even accusations that can't be backed up, such as Sue-ness, screen-time hogging and looking to much like Tecna based on hair-color alone.
I think this is sad, because we didn't even get a chance to know her as a character, and she, like the Team's undertitle says, at least deserves a chance.
I hereby open the Roxy Protection League, vouching for cutting the girl some slack, and for being open-minded and welcoming to change, not closed-up and weary.
Everyone who shares this taught is welcome to join.
*signs up*
Until Roxy's character is actually *shown*, it's not our place to judge. She does indeed deserve a chance.
[noguests]She definately deserves a chance. But I dont think anyone has anything personal against Roxy, and are simply basing their doubts on past experience.[/noguests]
You'd be surprised.
There are plenty of instances where the audience's opinion of a character determines what happens to them. In Code Geass, minor villain Jeremiah Gottwald was supposed to die in episode 10, but people took such a liking to him that the writers decided to spare him. He got some serious character development as a result and ended up surviving the whole series, joining up with the hero at the midpoint of season 2 and getting to live quietly for the rest of his life with a woman he loved.
Compare that with Katz Kobayashi from Zeta Gundam, who fans hated profusely and ended up dying due to sheer incompetence near the end of his series.
Ya know what P-Girl u r absolutley right i didn't get to know her iam in
I'm in. Good idea! I've personally always kinda liked the looks of Roxy. I hope she's as cool as she looks.
Well of course I'm in. After all, I'm reserving my judgment on the whole Believix transformations so of course I'll do the same for Roxy. As a character she will be great. Straffi hasn't really made a character I don't like yet. However, thanks to 4kids choice of Layla's voice actor...well, that's another story altogether. =p (Just wasn't in tune with the ghetto-sounding quality, lol)
I`m in. Sign me up.
I'm in too. We haven't even met her yet. People gave the supposed 'Sarah and Selma' a chance before Season 3 started. I'm just hoping she won't turn out like Abby in the BSC. Otherwise I'll be happy.
Thanks for your support, everyone.
ok, i am tempted to join but as i am on the fence (which i hired a seat for to be more comfy in my long (maybe forever) wait for season 4). I feel i cannot join as i am swaying either way until I have seen more
Hmm...as I've said, I only question the animator's choice in her hair color. As a character, I hold nothing against Roxy. So I'm in.
I'm in ^^. Roxy deserves a chance.
yes, she deserves a chance so im gonna join too.
I'm in! I totally think Roxy deserves a chance.
Weird. I actually think Roxy is going to be a great character and am awaiting to see her in the show for the first time. I haven't really thought that much about her hair color.
I join!
ROXY IS COOL
ill join
I'm in... this is a great idea...
And does anybody ABSOLUTLY know what power she has? Or might possibly have? Just wondering.... :]
Well, we're still in the "is she a fairy or not?" stage. So until we found out whether she officially is a fairy, we don't know. If she is, I'm sure we're all thinking animal communication powers.
[noguests]Yeah, according to some info card, she'll have animal related powers... but we'll have to wait to see for sure. [/noguests]
I think animal related powers is a sneaky way of trying to get those fluffy bunny and bear things to be popular...
Guys, guys. We don't even know if she has powers. That part of the info was fan speculation, remember? The official card only says she LOVES animals.
...... I'm an avid Transformer collector, they have a lot of non-show figures. I'm going to wait with saying 'Roxy is a fairy' until I see her like one in the show.
And even so; her a fairy doesn't have to be a bad thing.
I think it would be cool if she was something other than a fairy. Maybe even a wtich. But again, I'm fine if she is fairy. It won't affect whether I like her or not.
Animal powers kind of remind me of Tokyo Mew Mew or some pixie is made up before for a forum thing. She also had pink hair and had animalish powers.
I think I agree with you Fullmoon. Something other than a fairy would be interesting. Like a ...hey! Why not a female warrior! That would have been awesome. She could be slaying demons and other evil beings under the noses of normal Earthlings, and no one the wiser. xD
Additionally: Or perhaps if she is some type of magical being she could be a shape shifter. That would work great with her love for animals.
That would be awesome. The only true physical female warrior we had was Amentia (And she was awesome, I mean, she kicked Sky's behind to Omega and back).
I have to agree. As much as Amentia was annoying, she made well with her fighting skills. We need more female warriors!
[noguests]Yeah, I'd like to see some more female warriors, but also dudes with magic. [/noguests]
[noguests]Yeah, I'd like to see some more female warriors, but also dudes with magic. [/noguests]
They got Ophir/Nabu in the boyfriend department, now.
Yep, we could use more dudes with magic too, as Humbu puts it ^^. We need more of both. And we also need to know more about magicians in general. Poor Nabu/Ophir. I hope he gets a small chunk of the plot.
Not just Nabu, all the specialists for that matter.
It could be something like "Okay girls have fun on earth. Bye see ya!"
We've only seen Brandon on earth. We don't know anything about the other guys. They might only get like 2 episodes.
Yea. That is true. Basically, we want the show to be more diverse and less centered around just the Winx Club in a way. The title of the show is "Winx Club" though so the story is always always sticking to them (for the most part). So if they go to earth, I doubt they will show what would be happening back in Alfea. I'm just saying what I think. If only there was a spin-off.
O_O We are straying off the topic of Roxy!
Yeah, Roxy...ok um...
She seems okay? haha! Okay pathetic topic starter.
Roxy will be a very cool fairy. Here's what's gonna happen to my favorite fairies list:
1,Bloom (forever)
2,Roxy!
3,Musa
4,Stella
5,Layla
6,Tecna
7,Flora
Lol, I like your positivity Tom, but how can you be sure that she's going to be that great a character?
Yeah.... I opened this because people started counting their chickens before they hatched. THis is.... well, a bit of the same.
I agree, I want to get to know Roxy first
Thank goodness somebody's taking a stand to those who jump right in and accuse!!!
Im in!!
she is an animal lover
me too maybe i'm gonna like her !
i agree that there should be roxy in the winx!

Roxy deserves a chance. My friends dislike her. I love her. So let's protect Roxy, because I'm guessing we all know what it's like to be the new kid.
sign me up
i'm definatly in!!
i personally like roxy i think she is cool but the only thing i don't like about her is that she doesn't want to be a fairy i mean it's just....silly.

I join. I like her
I'm in, I never really thought of that.
I join too
I LOVE Roxy!!!!!!
