OH. MY. GOD. This one was a nightmare. The copyright bots were all over this one, to the point I had to make THIRTY TEST EDITS this week. So uh, hope y'all enjoy. I hope this isn't an omen for the rest of season 3. If it is... idk consider pledging on Patreon so I can still pay my bills? lmfao

bloom had more history with valtor than she did with her own boyfriend I'm dying 💀

Instead of dropping the Trix in a Ice based prison with a witch with ice based powers, they should have dropped them into a volcano

Valtor being called Baltor in the 4kids dub but his mark still clearly being a V is weirdly funny to me lol

Stella had the best winx subplot--though it makes me sad that Tides/Andros and Linphea are barely explored and we never get to visit Zenith and Melody.

Absolutely agree- Lisa Ortiz is BEST Icy. She brought so much cold malice to the character and genuinely made her a terrifying villain... and also made me severely question my sexuality. 😳

I love how Bloom and Stella saving the puppies, instead of going after the dress. Foreshadowed how the winx, would later on have to sacrifice themselves and their own needs/wants. For another person, in order to earn their Enchantix.

30:08 can we talk about how he just teleported to Solaria at his weakest when the winx usually need Stella’s sceptor or the specialists ships to travel through realms ? It’s such a small yet important detail for me like he’s POWERFUL. 21:42 I think it was a reference to Ferregamo

My heart flutters when Valtor shows up and speaks

I knew I have a type when I didn’t fall for any of the specialist in season one, but for Helia and Valtor… there’s no in between, or is an introvert with a love for art or is a man who will destroy the goddamn world

I love it when Bloom uses explosive magic. On aircraft carriers, there's a joke/advice that goes as such "If the guys in red are running, you best start running in the same direction". Just switch it to 'girl with red hair' and the joke applies here. Aircraft carriers use color coded uniforms to make it easier to tell who does what job, and red signifies explosives technician (the people that deal with the bombs). If this wasn't a kid's show, Bloom would definitely have a history of making bombs.

The moment chimera insulted Flora, you KNEW Stella was about to throw hands.

We stan Sky being the ultimate wingman of telling Brandon to comfort his darling LIKE YES WE STAN!! Also them just winking at each other and obviously knowing what to do by pumping out a window was ICONIC! And Flora with her "Wrap" joke? LEGENDARY.

musa's magic winx edit in the 4kids dub is so magical, i adore it. look at how her hair moves. 😍😍😍

It's the way this season just hopped from one crisis to another, but effortlessly. The way Valtor caused problems all over the magical universe immediately, and all the girls get directly emotionally involved as a result, instead of by proxy to Bloom. He's truly a threat and that's what makes this season so good.

Valtor's 4Kids voice makes him sound like the Sephiroth of Winx Club. Kudos to Sean Schemmel for giving us a performance both badass and menacing at the same time!

The 4Kids voice cast is so amazing I've always loved how they have their own voices and gives off their own personality.

I'm Czech and I love when Chimera tells Stella in the 2nd episode that she'll give her the dress and in our dub Stella replies: Keep it! I don't wear clothes from a Secondhand shop! 😂😂😂 God I love the original seasons dialogues and comebacks ❤

I remember watching what happened to Stella all those years ago and I would count the minutes and the SECONDS until the episode where she'd get her revenge

honestly Valtor was a kick ass villian in season 3 back then i actually wanted him to win in the end against the girls

Aisha's name being changed to Layla being a 4kids thing makes no sense at all... Especially since Cinelume called her Layla as well for no specific reason. I've talked to a WinxTuber that got in contact with some of the 4kids crew and they denied that Layla was their idea. It seems like Rainbow and Iginio themselves decided Layla would be her international name until Nick came along with the decision to call her Aisha like in Italian.And also, all merchandise and official stuff like the magazines and websites acknowledging her name as Layla all around the world kinda confirms it not being a "dub exclusive" change. It totally must have had Rainbow's finger on it.

21:14 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. Long hair SEASON 3 Musa is EVERYTHING.

I love how anyone can wear a crop top in the Winx universe. The Winx, yes, but also the Specialists lmao

21:25:True. I think a nice and subtle way the creators showed the Winx maturing is the way they dress. Compare the S1 and S3 casual outfits. The S1 outfits feel like something girls would wear in high school while the S3 outfits feel more mature. Still maintaining that "Hot Girl" energy but more mature.

About the brand of Stella's dress, those are puns referencing major fashion houeses and its amazing! Wizrahi is a reference to Isaac Mizrahi and even though Fairy Go'Mo like in fairy godmother is a great guess it most likely was meant to be Fairygamo as in Ferragamo, an Italian brand

36:50 Exactly. Season 1-3 was something different. She was someone who you could trust as a leader. And then she got every other girl's screentime in season 5 and up.

Season 3 is the real gem of the crown! No other season can beat its splendour and glory. It is also obvious that all the team, working on it, put a lot of work, though, passion, creativity and love in it. Bless! 🦄💖🙏🏻💖🦄

“we’re going to be watching the 4kids dub” AND WE ALL CHEERED 🎉🎉🎉

I have no idea which version is the one where Valtor has a deep voice but I love that one just because of how much I personally think the voice suits him. That’s just my personal opinion tho

38:22 Can we appreciate how Aisha/ Layla in her dress gown is literally giving the old rich vibes??? Like rich from the 80's or 90's and with her personality it's just a perfect match made in heaven She gives that rich aunt vibes with a glass of wine that will judge you with her stare but you will never know whether you were approved or not. And I'm here for it

Ah yes... Valtor, my childhood fiction crush when i was 10

YESSSS AUGH. This season was so much fun, it was _ridiculous._ Just like how you said it gripped you watching it off the 4Kids block, I caught a random S3 episode back when Nick got airing and dubbing rights and I was just so starstruck over how gripping the plots seemed to suddenly become. And yeah, I didn't watch much Winx as a kid, only catching random episodes sometimes (but somehow none of the S3 episodes. weird.). EVERYTHING about this season was so _GOOD_ (except maybe Valtor's defeat, but maybe 4Kids tweaks that a bit?). I hope to God KZfaq lets you review the rest. Every one of these plot threads and characters were a cultural reset and it still kills me that Winx Club never reaches these high highs again.

4kids season 3 is so iconic, I don’t think I could watch another version 🥹 the writers in this era were amazing

some of the season 3 storyboards actually show valtor's name as baltor.

I’m alright with the 4Kids dub as long as you cut to Nickelodeon/Cinelume whenever the girls transform into Enchantix. I will NOT be deprived of that HEAVENLY song 😇

As shocked as I am that you skipped seasons one and two, I can’t complain! Season three is so amazing! They did so much right with this season! I sometimes wish that 4Kids could’ve kept the dubbing rights, dubbed the first movie, and we would’ve had a completed arc before moving onto the Nickelodeon years. But hey, I’m still so happy with what we got!

Man, I’ve been WAITING for your commentary on Winx Club season 3. Valtor has been my favorite villain and toxic crush for more than a DECADE

I have to admit, as a teen watching 4Kids on KZfaq, I had a bit of a crush on Valtor, too. What can I say, but I like guys with long hair and with a polished style. Though, he's too evil for me to want to be with him. Just throw his looks onto someone who has a more kind and gentle nature, and I'm sold! (Also, while I identify a demisexual, as per my pfp, I still have romantic attraction. This is an identity in progress for me.)

Season 3 is also the point where I started watching Winx regularly lol

18:52 "*They are the Winx*and don't you f*cking forget it " I AM GOOOOONE 😭😭😭😭😭

Chimera sounds like she's about to say "Aay I'm walkin here" in this dub.

Musa does look beautiful with long hair, but her short pigtails are just f*cking iconic. They suit her so much. Plus I'm a sucker for tomboys with short hair, so I prefer Musa's old hairstyle. Besides, it was nice to see two members of the Winx who didn’t have long hair.

It makes sense that they changed Musa's hair in her transformation sequence, but I still don't understand why 4kids felt the need to digitally edit old clips of Musa in the intro. Like they were trying to erase the fact she ever had short pigtails. Were they worried the children would become confused for a second if they saw a clip of Musa with short pigtails? Why not just replace it with a clip from season 3? It would be cheaper.

Was expecting 4 after 6 but it's nice to see you clear your palate with the gracious beautiful season 3

I read a comment that said Stella's step in 4kids voice Lisa Adams would've been a good 4kids Roxy. And speaking of Roxy, if you decide to rewrite season 7, I have an idea, make Kalshara Roxy's arch nemesis, they clearly view and treat animals differently

37:53 huh, that kinda makes sense actually? Here in Brazil on the harshest summers and hot days, specially on the south, we have different degrees of hail when raining, like summer showers little pebbles of rail for a clue minutes. So it can technically make sense in a exaggerated fantasy setting like this that out of no where in very a hot planet to just snow.

While Cassandra was already a villain the ultimate red flag was her insisting that Stella will call her Mom in this dub

"I don't mean to be dumb, but what's a princess ball exactly?" - Bloom "It's like a coming out party for royalty." - Aisha "So everyone gets to know your sexuality there?" - Bloom

Honestly, thank god we had just one dub in Brazil, and the voices were perfect from the get go.

30:40 Actually, Caren Tackett talked about this on the WinxForever podcast! She missed an episode or two because she got cast in an international touring production of RENT

As a here-for-the-Winx girlie, I love the Avatar retrospective too. It's really fun! I do prefer the cinelume dub for season 3 just for the story though.

I love Winx and Avatar critiques.

For over 10 years I have looked for this image, something I saw only once though an open window. I wanted to find the show with this vampire wizerd I made up in my head, and now i find out it was a show my friends constantly tried to get me to watch.

This is my first look at the 4kids dub, like, ever. I grew up on Cinelume, so this is going to be interesting for me.

Valtor is the FINEST villian after Ogron & Gantlos i will forever die on this hill

I thought the 'Fairy Ga'Mo' dress Stella had was a nod to Ferrigamo, that famous Hollywood stylist 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm going to be honest. I REALLY needed this today. Sorry to hear that you had so much trouble with the copyright. I was really surprised that you chose to do the 4kids dub, but I'm really glad you did. I've watched the series several times, but I think I've watched the 4kids dub the least out of all of them and I'm constantly surprised by all of the little things that they did to make it completely different from the other dubs. It was touched on in the episode, but I definitely think that adding in lines is one of my favorite things that they do. Honestly if I had a wish that would let me make any TV show I wanted. I would probably just wish or for kids just still exist and for them to dub the rest of the series. With that being said, I think this is a nice Segway to for me to start talking about the voices. This was something I actually found out a few years ago now thanks to one of Thomas's videos. The voice direction can actually make a.MASSIVE difference in performance. The example given Keke Palmer as performances for Nickelodeon and dubbing Brothers are COMPLETELY different. To give another example and one more pregnant to this video, the actress that plays Chimera in this dub is also the same actress that plays Diasparo in season 6. Also, I'm sure she did her best and her performance isn't even bad per se. But if there is one thing I could change about the four kids cast it would be that had the same voice actress as she did for seasons one and two. Also, before I forget I know I say this a lot but I just love how you're editing and humor blend together so well.and not just into one another but with the jokes told in the episode as well. Lastly, I know I say how good these videos are all the time, but I've never just said this so plainly. Thomas, thank you so much for making these videos They're honestly the best part of my week I know I haven't watched everything that you've made primarily because I have yet see fairy tail. Despite all good things, I've heard about it, but these videos are always a pick me up when I'm feeling down. Can't wait for the next video!😀

Currently rewatching season 3 and I like picking up on little details I would 100% miss as a child. The way Techna walked out of the room like a girlboss after she packed her things showing her development imo. Bloom still struggling with basic magic from time to time as you mentioned, I noted that myself. Icy struggling and taking longer to release Valtor, implying how strong the spell used to capture Valtor was compared to what was used on the Trix. Stella being 100% determined to get that dress (Don't know why they didn't just transform though) but not hesitating at all to point out and save those puppies. Stella's look as Chimera tried to spell her hair. My headcanon is she saw her and whispered to Bloom to just casually move to the right spot with the mirror Also, unrelated but wtf did they expect would happen sending the witch of ice to an ICE PRISON?? The real villains of the season was whoever sentenced to the Trix to Omega.

Number one gripe I have with this episode- I love season three, but WHO DECIDED THAT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO SEND ICY- THE LITERAL WITCH OF ICE TO THE OMEGA DIMENSION??????! ' They say it's so cold yata yata yata ' Yes, but Icy is the WITCH OF ICE! COULDN'T OF YOU HAVE SENT HER TO, OH I DON'T KNOW, A FIRE DIMENSION??? OR JUST ANY OTHER DIMENSION??? No????? You idiots just really thought this was a bright idea????? Wow no wonder you need the wix to save your asses.

21:21 And it is logical to say that she was influenced by the girls Flora and Stella directly, so it is natural that she becomes more girly with time.

I cannot believe you’re doing this season. I cannot wait to see the rest - the peak this season reached hasn’t and never will be reached again unfortunately. Season 3 is my absolute favourite. I was hoping you’d mix the dubs (4kids and Cinelume). The Cinelume dub is my personal favourites but I enjoy the 4kids dub as well. There’s just something about the Cinelume dub that vibes with me more but that’s not to say I think the 4kids dub is bad in any way - just not my first preference.

I thank you for going above and beyond for us with this. Season 3 4Kids dubbed was so good! Can you imagine if they had been able to dub season 5-7? It would have been awesome.

I need to bring this up. It’s so stupid how the guys dropping off the Trix didn’t think maybe an ice witch encased in ice won’t work. Like. Huge oversight on their part!

stella's 4kids voice (caren tackett) was actually busy doing a musical so they had to get a stand in (lisa adams).

Valtor (and Itachi from Naruto) was my sexual awakening as a teenager.

Fun fact in season 1 of the 4kids dub when the girls go out to the city of magix for the first time Stella does suggest they go out for pizza

We stan our dark Icon Valtor ❤

the b in baltor had the same amount of work as musa’s intro hair💀

Going off what was said about bloom being an earthling to explain stuff it’s actually a more organic way of doing it than say something out of goddam season 6

I’m just gonna say floras dress is the best one she has in the first three seasons not including the movies

I never watched 4kids dub of season 3, growing up with the Italian dub. But I must say... it' s so accurate that I'm kinda moved. Tho I prefer Rai ost and songs, especially f9r this season. So sad they didn't keep Lucia Micinilli's Enchantix 😅

1) i dont comment much but i have to say a few things. to start - I FORGOT HOW GOOD THIS SEASON WAS????? I haven't watched/rewatched in years but i may consider one at this rate. 2) YES THE VILLIAN MUSIC - so fitting, so good, such a natural fit 3) 4kids dub 10/10 - Darcy sounding menacing but also sophisticated, Icy having the perfect attitude, Flora sounding perfectly maternal, Layla/Aisha's voice fitting super well for her, etc. - all the voice acting shoutouts you've made are so accurate from what i've seen 4) primarily winx viewer here but just wanting to pop over and say i do love the ATLA commentaries too and look forward to seeing more of those (since you mentioned that wasn't performing as well as you hoped, just wanted to mention this so you know at least someone cares!)

my dad used to call Valtor "whore/how" cuz he whore eye shadow, and when he saw Valtors real form.. "thats not enchantix, that's whoretix"

There are places that naturally get that "piss" diseased green water. The southern part of where I live is directly in line where two major rivers converge and empty out into the sea. The silt, algae, sand and other debris is often kicked up and makes the water brownish and murky. (There are a lot of waves, not to mention pollution.) So most of the beaches by that part of the coast look like this. (Sometimes you might get a clear day where the water is mostly blue green but it's not common.)

your humour is just spot on

Here's my ranking for voices of the 4Kids dub: Winx: 1. Bloom 2. Stella 3. Aisha 4. Musa 5. Flora 6. Tecna Trix: 1. Icy 2. Darcy 3. Stormy Specialists + Nabu: 1. Brandon 2. Riven 3. Helia 4. Nabu 5. Timmy 6. Sky

30:00 (not the exact time stamp but it’s close lol) Bloom being a Sagittarius literally makes so much sense

Hi. I am from the Netherlands and grew up watching Winx club like a crazy fan. i still remember when season 2 and 3 where new. Even i know the 4kids opening song because i used to go to the winx club website and kids in the Netherlands already learn english at a young age so i could use the american winx club website. I remember opening the website and it started with that song! I love it so much!! But i also loooove the original song because thats what i grew up with (in dutch). Btw Musa's voice in 4kids sounds a lot like the dutch one from season 1-3 like a bit tomboyish raspy and cute. Oh and Icy's voice also reminds me of the dutch one. So thats it, thankyou for your videos 😁

I like the name Andros better sound unique

Lmao did the solaria guard really say "No hip-hop allow-" 😂😂😂

4:46 only in the US. Because all around the world, if you talk about winx it's either "Under the sign of winx" or "magic winx song" that will be the first song coming in mind But as someone from Belgium, as a child, I still knew the "we are the winx"tune because it was used in a doll commercial and they kept it instead of using "under the sign of winx"

About the pizzas in the 4kids bloom is not the one to introduce pizzas but in the cinaloom version shes the one who introduces it and instead OSS pizzas they refer to them as pies in season three just a observation

38:22 Loved most of the dresses (especially Flora’s) though didn’t care to much for Bloom & Techna’s. Just wish all the girls’ gowns were in their signature colours, as only Flora & Bloom stuck with theirs.

best season right here thank you for doing this season we needed a break from nickelodeon

SLAMS HAND DOWN AGRESSIVELY! Cinelume/Original Italian soundtrack of the series is more iconic. But I also grew up with the Dutch version, which was inspired by the German version of Winx, which was directly taken from the Italian version

I've been wanting to watch you talk about season 3 for a while. I am very excited.

YES I love this season so much I watched it on repeat as a child

23:06 I would give ANYTHING to know what kind of instrument/synthesiser they used for Flora’s music in the transformation sequence!✨🌸 ✨

I like your filter for this video @UnicornofWar it makes Bloom's blue outfits more darker in better darker blues than her teals

I do have to say, the dutch intro song is 120% better than the English one

Season 3 commentary will be fun as there's so much to praise! The 4 kids version does cut a few great scenes though

Your editing is having me in stiches. I'm crying laughing. Also why can I imagine the only time Helia snapped is at Chimera when she talked back at Flora, like Helia is in the corner like "I'm about to beat this b*tch up".

After seeing you endlessly roast the newer winx seasons, it's very nice to see you praising it so so much!! Man now I wanna do a rewatch on Winx. I love your Avatar the Last Airbender commentaries too! If you're looking to comment on more animes it would be cool to see you talk about Sasaki and Miyano, a new boys love anime that came out a while ago.

that no hip hop allowed thing was lowkey anti black 😭

also for someone who's used to the french dub of valtor, his english dub is .... unique, to say the least

To this day he is still one of my favs

Ahh yes. The 4kids Winx Club was my childhood addiction to get up everyone right after TMNT, Sonic X, and good ol' Yu-Gi-Oh. Watching this vid made me have such a nostalgia trip that it makes me wanna watch the 4kids dub all over again.

Honestly, at this point, I think the trix would've been sentenced to the electric chair...

Honestly, I enjoy your narration for this

Season 3 Stella: I have to wake up early and prepare for my Princess ball! New seasons Stella: nooo I want to sleep, oh yeah I also designed ugly uniform outfits for the ball
