The movies are so meh.
I'd prefer another season.

But didn’t the other two flop???

I don't know about the second one, but the first one was a huge (surprise) hit.

The second didn’t do as well which isn’t surprising since let’s be real, the key demographic is largely a much older audience and this was right after Covid. So its audience wasn’t risking going to the movies much and post pandemic people in general started to embrace watching at home.

I don't think I can bring myself to care if there's no Thomas (and I hated his storyline in the second movie).

I watched the Winx tv series and every time he popped up I just called him Thomas Barrow and couldn't remember what character name he was supposed to be playing in that mess of a show LMAO. But man was he compelling faking dying for several episodes.

I haven't watched that show but tbh I think he's genuinely an amazing actor.

[squirrels_oh_no]

That show was a MESS but he was the best character. In season 1, at least, I have no clue what happens in season 2 but given the ending of season 1, I figure that it probably is similar to the plot of Order of the Phoenix.

There was a second movie???

it released in spring 2022 (i almost just very confidently told you it came out last year but then i googled to be sure and realized it was two years ago... what is time)

I loved this show so much and yet when people asked me why I could never really articulate it well lol. I'm so so far removed from the characters but still so drawn to them.
