First topic message reminder :

i really wanted to make this thread for many reasons.

so i was on tumblr and as per usual with the winx fandom many were arguing about bloom. claiming she's a mary sue and that winx is better without her blah blah blah ect.
this got me thinking is she a mary sue though?

many claim that a mary sue is somone who perfect but i see mary sue's as a charecter so perfect that they are never challenged by events of the naritive.
this might just seem like an extension to whart most people asume but it changes everything. we have seen in many seasons in winx bloom is challenged by other villans aswell as her own inner conflics like her dealing with her powers in season 1 aswell as trying to find her missing parents and kingdom throughout season 3 and secret of the lost kingdom. she is far from perfect as she constantly has struggles her and the rest of the winx deal with weather its the trix or the wizzards of the black circle. if you have charecter weakness's and soon lern to overcome them that isnt becoming a mary sue. it charecter progression, which is an essential part of charecterisation when it comes to any sort of media. bloom is never too good for the events around her therfore as a charecter shes still intresting even though the newer seasons of winx are weaker her charecter is still great in the commics.bloom may be incredibly powerfull compared to the rest of the winx but the villans still cause her to be challenged and she must overcome those challeges with the help of her freinds.

this is why bloom could be considerd as perfect but not as a mary sue as she dosent rise above the obsticles of her enviroments that they are no longer challenged at all.

a perfect charecter isnt that bad thing, a mary sue causes the veiwer distress out of boredom not perfection.

Some people only critic on the bad parts of Bloom.
They don't look at the positive side but only on the negative side which i can't see.

@OP I think that you have a valid point about character weaknesses and i fully agree she is not a mary sue. Is is far from flawless and i think that she is a great character for the show

Exactly,Bloom is a wonderful character, she is brave selfless,generous(she shared the dragon flame with the girls),caring like all the other Winx.
Can't understand why people hate her so much, either they have watched Winx Club on a regular basic or they don't have anything better to do.
