The Netflix series "Fate: The Winx Saga" did not go down well with all viewers.
This is what the stars have to say about the negative votes.
With
“Fate: The Winx Saga”
, Netflix produced an adaptation of “Winx Club” that appeals to a more adult audience.
A motley series turned into a dark drama - and that didn't seem to please everyone.
Even after the release of the first trailer *, countless Netflix users criticized the daring new edition.
The choice of actresses also caused a sensation.
For example, the East Asian character
Musa is
embodied by Elisha Applebaum.
The actress again seems to have no roots in this area.
In addition, the creators have
completely deleted
the Latin American fairy
Flora
.
This decision also met with little approval.

The heavy reviews did not leave the series stars unaffected.
In an interview with the entertainment magazine Digital Spy,
Elisha Applebaum
commented
on the negative reactions as follows: “It's a shame that the fans are so disappointed with the cast.
I had nothing to do with the choice of actors.
Still, I hope they liked what they saw and my portrayal of Musa. ”The actress explains that so far she has only received positive feedback from fans.
She has the impression that many viewers were open to the new interpretation.
Terra actress
Eliot Salt also
has a say in the contribution.
Her character is considered a replacement for Flora, who does not appear in the Netflix series.
Salt hopes Flora will join the five friends in Season 2: “I think it's very important that we see Terra and Flora together.
If we're lucky and get a second season, I really want that.
In my opinion the debates on this topic are very important and I am really glad that these discussions are taking place. "
Should there be a second season, the main actress Abigail Cowen is also hoping for an appearance from Flora.
So far, Netflix has not yet extended the series.

Digital Spy also
spoke to Aisha actress
Precious Mustapha
.
She is happy to see the many actors from different cultural backgrounds.
However, in her opinion, there could be more of it: “I'm really excited to be part of a series that has so many actors from different cultures.
But there could be more of that and hopefully there will be more if there is a second season.
I would love that because I know a younger version of me would have been very happy if I had seen an actress on screen who looks like me.
That's why I think it's important that these debates exist and we should keep them going. ”
