One of the biggest let downs for fans of the original Winx Club when it comes to the live-action Netflix adaptation is the lack of colour that made the original show so fun and whimsical. Due to the Riverdale-esque gritty treatment of the cartoon, everything feels drab and the outfits are lacking their fashion forward attitude. On top of that, the fairies no longer have wings . . . most of the time. as the headmistress of Alfea explains, "We had wings in the past . . . as we've evolved, transformation magic has been lost."
