History Headscratchers / WinxClub

* Why did Mirta go from being a [[CuteWitch witch]] to turning into a fairy? It almost seems to have some UnfortunateImplications, since it gives you the feeling that in order to be good, you can't be a witch (and I believe this series has [[WitchSpecies witches as a race/species]], not just a magical group that's evil). I always thought her being the one witch-student at Alfea would make for a nice DarkIsNotEvil {{aesop}}. I mean, why not, right?

** I think Enchantix acts as a gateway to achieving other higher up transformations. So you can't gain Believix without gaining Echantix first.

* This troper thinks [[KarmaHoudini Selina got off way too easily]], but would the Winx have been as forgiving if she actually succeeded in causing Flora's death ([[ForTheEvulz which was for her own amusement]])? Not to mention Selina [[EntitledBastard had the gall to beg the Winx for help after everything she did to them]]. When one thinks about it, she only begged for help because her own ass was in danger, not because she suddenly had a moral dilemma. She probably would have never given it second thought if Acheron actually did keep his promise to her. So would the Winx have been as forgiving in that situation?

** Let's see said legends: [[{{Mummy}} Mummies]], a classic monster to a modern westerner that any of the Winx should have been able to defeat without trying; a sphinx [[RiddlingSphinx whose shtick is known to pretty much everyone]] (and in fact acted ''exactly'' like the mythical one when Chatta gave the answer), yet she failed to demand the riddle (then again, it was met in Egypt and the riddling one was in Greece, thus she could have been thrown off by that); the Green Dragons are a relative unknown (I personally know of the pearl, but couldn't tell how to save my life), so this one is forgivable; the Children of the Night are ''vampires'', and there's ''no way'' she could have not known how to deal with them (sure, the garlick may have failed, but she didn't even try with their other traditional weaknesses. One of which, sunlight, ''annihilated'' them); the traditional weakness of zombies is salt, but with Romero's movies it's not that well known anymore (not that it was a problem, given how weak they were); [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Werewolves]] are another well known monster whose weakness is famous, yet it took Daphne to reveal it; the Snow Queen's legend ''should'' not be well known, except for [[Disney/{{Frozen}} a certain well-known movie]] that should have caused her curiosity; the Minotaur, being from Myth/ClassicalMythology, is well known in Italy (and this is an ''Italian'' series, so no excuses), but then again the monster's weaknesses vary with the version and all involve enough physical strength to drive a sword or a bull's horn in a bull's skull, something ''none'' of the Winx has; the FrankensteinsMonster is the goddamn' Frankenstein Monster, she should have known how to deal with it (or at least that lightning made it stronger); and Rumpelstiltskin's legend is relatively well known, and the solution should have been obvious (my solution would have been a lawyer). Going by this, she should have known how to defeat most of them, yet she failed to find the solution.

* Why didn't Bloom try to use [[Forgotten Phlebotinum her healing powers]] to save Nabu?

* JUST HOW DOES THE MAGIC SYSTEM WORK? So as far as I understood with Selena and
, whether you are a witch or a fairy depends on your own choice and what you want to do with your powers. Ofcourse, I assume that some powers like snakes, spiders or nightmares are more useful as a witch, whereas light, dreams or flowers would be more useful as a fairy, so I assume that the choice isn't 100% yours (I also guess that your family will influence your choice), but where does this leave the specialists?? Are they another magical species? At the end, there aren't any fairies, nor witches, that were shown to be related to a specialist in the series, right?

* Why the hell did Bloom go in 'The Shark's Eye'after Politea alone? The previous episode was all about the fact that teamwork is the key to success. Heck, Tecna even used her Sirenix wish to make the people of Zenith more connected. What were you thinking, Bloom?

Assuming the quotes of the creator on the YMMV page are true, here's my headscratcher: How are complex storylines too mature for a child audience, but romantic drama plots (the same Bloom/Sky/Diaspro triangle that's been going on since ''season 1'') are deemed child-friendly and appropriate for small kids?

** Ok, so first of all I have to just straight-up say that Winx isn't to big on lore and writing isn't their biggest point. You want the easy answer?? Rainbow thought sci-fi knights would look cooler than male fairies. And that's it.

** Ok so I think there are 4 options:
*** The specialists are another magical species. Male fairies do exist (you see them in Domino), but the male fairy school is not located in Magix, hence why you never see them. This also implies the existence of a female specialist school, which is highly plausible, as there are female warriors and guards shown throughout the show.

** Because she didn't sell enough toys XD

* I have a couple. 1: If Enchantix is very hard to get, how come Alfea isn't overfilled with 57 year olds who haven't had sacrificed themselves yet? It's said a few times that you can't graduate without Enchantix. 2: What's the point of Crystal Sirenix? The Winx go to Zenith in their Sirenix forms just fine, or was Rainbow running out of toys to sell?

** We know almost nothing of the girl's family lives outside of Bloom's. Maybe her mother wrote the song to commemorate one of her losses, maybe this is even a case of [[Generation Xerox]]
