Review: Season 5, Episode 18: The Devourer

Theme soooong We're The Winx!

We start off with The Trix and Tritannus deciding to steal another seal, but a "really big fish" comes and attacks the Trix. It looks like a mixture between Monstro and um. Those fish that live at the bottom of the sea with the little lights on their heads.

We have a chase scene and it tries to eat Icy and grabs onto her hair. Well geez man, this is why you don't have hair down to your ankles. This'll teach you. 

But then of course Tritannus zaps it to save Icy and takes control of it. Apparently it's name is the Devourer. That's hard to say man. HE TAKES CONTROL OF EVERY SINGLE THING. CANT YOU LEAVE SOME STUFF TO JUST FUNCTION ON ITS OWN.

I'm calling it Monstro from now on. They decide to send Monstro after the selkies and then Daphne has her usual moany 'must warn Winx...' moment. Daphne I know you're in pain but this is getting old.

Now we're at Alfea and Bloom, Stella, and Aisha have to go to the Sovereign's Council. And Flora, Musa, and Tecna have training with Codatorta. Stella WAS getting better in Season 5 but nope nope nope she calls it a gala and tries to decide what people need to wear.

She then zaps the most unattractive animal print war costumes onto Aisha and Bloom I have ever seen. I must say though, Aisha's hair looked cute.

So then she zaps them back into those same Ballgown flower dresses from the Domino party. Then she says a line that I actually thought was kinda cute. "Let's get politicking!"

We're on Domino now, at the Council. They welcome Nereus and Tressa, yay!! I like those too. How come Nereus gets to be crown prince Nereus but Tressa is just princess Tressa? Did Nereus just seriously only credit Bloom, Stella, and Aisha for rescuing them? HELLO FLORA MUSA AND TECNA WERE THERE TOO.

I SAW ROY

ROY IS ROYAL?

NO GET OUT ROY

ROYAL ROY 

WHY IS ROY HERE

Now we get a stuck-up king moment where none of the kings can agree to team up. Solaria and Eraklyon specifically are being especially bratty. 

Now we're underwater and the selkies are playing with the metamorphosis fish. IS THAT ALL THEY DO? TRAIN FISH? When they should be guarding their gates?!??! No wonder Tritannus gets through so easy! The guardians are just playing with fish all day!

The selkies are still creepy in CGI. They see the Devourer and we start a chase scene of Monstro chasing them around. We get in a cave to hide but it sees us and bangs on our cave scaring everyone.

So now we're training with Codatorta and Riven, Helia, and Timmy ~just happen~ to be the guys assigned to help make sure this giant wild dragon Codatorta brought doesn't get away. Are the people at Redfountain just, really big shippers? Do they ship students with each other and that's why they assign them to certain missions?

The Winx are supposed to control this dragon with their Sirenix powers. They just kinda stand there for a moment like, "aw dang it." Until they finally transform. I like the Sirenix 2D transformation. It's growing on me. It's still not as good as the early ones, but I'd say better than Harmonix.

Musa tells Flora to be nice to it. THAT'S how you handle wild dragons, yeah! But then you know. It attacks.

Back on Domino! Bloom and Sky step out of the room to have a romantic moment. Stella tells her dad she thinks they need to team up to defeat Tritannus and that she knows what she's talking about. 

Back to our romantic moment. We have a romantic moment but then Diaspro comes in. Were you guys really not expecting that? Really? You should've known she was gonna come here. She tells Bloom to give him up because she's so gonna have him but then they have a small sass-off. I don't like either of these girls this Season.

WOOP ITS DAPHNE TIME. We're haaaaving a vision. At least this time Daphne didn't give us a stupid riddle and actually told us where we need to go. She told us the selkies are in trouble near the Pillar of Light. 

Bloom realizes she can't leave and calls the other girls up to have them do it.

"Okay, so we tried singing to it, reasoning with it, feeding it."

"Don't forget being nice to it!"

"That's right, laugh it up!"

I love this relationship this Season. MusaxRiven yes.

Did Flora just call some tendrils on it's mouth mustaches? Dude, if you're gonna call 'em that, it's a singular mustache.

We decide we need to grab the 'mustaches' and we do so, taming the dragon. Who'd think the 'mustaches' would be the way to control a wild dragon. 

Today we learned every creature has a weak spot! I KNOW WE'RE GONNA USE THAT ON MONSTRO I JUST KNOW IT.

Yep now we're going to find Monstro. The selkies are still in that cave and they finally manage to escape it after Monstro hit it so hard that it fell apart. The selkies still look scary in CGI.

Noooow time for another chase scene. There seems to be a lot of these this episode. Flower selkie gets cornered in by Monstro and is scared but then she sees the Winx, which apparently means swim into the Monstro's mouth. WHY did you do that. Flora's now panicky and coming to help.

None of our attacks are helping... what's the use in Sirenix if it doesn't affect these undersea creatures? We realize it's Tritannus' Monstro now and that we need to find it's weak spot YES I KNEW IT.

We find that it's the undersea deep sea fish light thing I can't remember the name of and attack it all at once, which makes it then spit out flower selkie and then just drift down dying.

Everything's okay now! Happy selkie reunion moment.

Back at the Council, Stella's dad agrees to unite with the other kingdoms if everyone does, but Sky's dad is still being a jerkhead and that makes Stella's dad sigh and agree to fight alone as well. We have another stupid Diaspro moment where she tells Bloom Sky will be hers. I'm getting tired of Diaspro.

Next episode preview we're taking the Pillar of Balance's seal and Daphne tells us just how dangerous Tritannus' actions are. That is the most vague next episode description I have ever seen.

I think I liked previous episodes better but this one wasn't too bad either, it was just kinda boring. What did you guys think of it?
