Canon Split?

Hi everyone! This is Tabby with a break from the Nickelodeon stuff for all of you old fans who watched the Rai version! In other words, spoilers ahoy if you're watching the Nick version as a new member of the Winx fandom!

I *think* there's been a  post about this before... but a fan theory going around is that canon splits off after the first movie, Secret of the Lost Kingdom. The theory goes that there are now not one but TWO Winx Club show canons (by which I mean, not counting the comic canon or the Pop Pixie canon). In one canon, Bloom chooses to live the life of a normal girl, despite having found her family... and that's where we get Season 4. In the other, Magical Adventure, Bloom embraces her destiny as a princess.

Here's the evidence to a canon split:

• Roxy, a very valuble character from Season 4, is NOT SEEN AT ALL (or mentioned) in Magical Adventure... it's as if she didn't exist.


• When the Winx show up at Mike and Vanessa's doorstep in MA, the couple acts like they haven't seen the girls in ages. If it was part of the same story as S4, they would have just been there a little while ago.


• Nabu, who died at the end of S4, is seen many times in MA.

There's more if you look through it, but those are the main points. However, we also have points against this:

• There is SO MUCH noncanon nonsense in Magical Adventure that all of the above seems to be par for the course. Since when is Flora a princess?


• Believix. If Season 4 never happened, where did THAT come from?

Again, sure there's more, but those are the main points.

So, what do you all think about this? Is there a canon split, or no?
