** Half he fandom like the pixies liked for their genuine bond with the Winx, while the other half find their voices annoying (depending on the dub), the screentime they take up in season 2, the infamous "pixie village" episode in season 3, and for starting the whole "bonding" plotline which got recycled in the subsequent seasons (the Love and Pet animals in season 4, the selkies in season 5, and the fairy animals in season 7). The fact that they had [[WesternAnimation/{{PopPixie}} their own spin-off series]] doesn't help much.

* QuestionableCasting: Many people thought Ariana Grande did a poor job voicing Diaspro, as Grande was criticized as being too soft spoken for the character and having a bad case of DullSurprise. Partially due to the criticism, Grande was [[TheOtherDarrin replaced]] in season 6.

* IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Some ship names allude to the characters' respective magic affinities. Bloom x Flora is called [=FireFlower=] (i.e., they are the fairies of the Dragon's Flame and Nature) and Bloom x Stella is [=SunFire=] (i.e., the latter is the fairy of the Sun, Moon, and Stars). The quasi-paedophilic shipping Bloom x Valtor (she's barely 18 and he's at the very least middle-aged when they meet) is called Sparksshipping because both of them are bearers of the Dragon's Flame--although just a Spark in his case--which originates in planet Sparks (aka Domino).

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Diaspro put Sky though a love spell and attempted to kill Bloom in season six, Darkar brainwashed Bloom and made her his minion, and the Trix have repeatedly attempted to take over Alfea and steal the Winx's powers. None of these characters are hated compared to Mitzi, a recurring character from the earlier seasons. Between her self-imposed sense of overall superiority, her attempting to ruin Stella and Brandon's relationship just to have Brandon to herself, her siding with the Wizards of the Black Circle because she didn't like the attention the Winx were getting, keeping the Lilo away from the Winx, and being a generally abusive sister to Macy.

** Generally agreed to have started around season 5, which is also when the show was revived by American company Viacom and [[SoftReboot retooled]] to appeal to younger audiences. Low points include the retconning of important continuity points -- such as changing Daphine so [[spoiler:she was never actually dead]] -- characters losing whatever [[CharacterDevelopment development]] they had, and the girls being treated like they're still 16 year old high school students, with anything set up to the contrary -- the graduation, Bloom's engagement -- [[{{Retcon}} being quietly ignored and forgotten]]. Seasons 5 and 6 also marked the use of unnecessary, jarring, and downright ugly shifts to computer graphics (sure, the movies weren't ever Pixar quality, but it least didn't look disturbing). The Trix also get complaints about being overused, especially seeing as how they [[UnexplainedRecovery inexplicably come back]] from being sealed away for all eternity ''twice over.''

The series going through a SoftReboot, [[AudienceShift dumbed down]], and [[{{Bowdlerize}} the outfits being made less revealing]] went over as well as one could expect. It also doesn't help that ''every'' season post season 4 is considered to be [[SeasonalRot subpar at best]]. While [[WordOfGod Straffi stated]] that the changes were necessary for the series to continue, this has widely been derided as a FanDislikedExplanation. Many fans instead wish that the show had [[FanonDiscontinuity ended]] after season 4.
