Phaye Monster 8,728 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 6 minutes ago, Galvon said: I thought they made Flora and Tecna into one character. Te(cna)(flo)ra, Terra. That's why she has Tecna's skintone and Flora's haircolor? Something like that. Idk, but this is how I think the made her up. But wasn't the Musa actress half Asian? Nope, Tecna just doesn’t exist in this series apparently. Plus, Terra (who has power of nature, same as Flora) was literally called Flora in early casting / auditions. They probably just changed her name to try and get away with the whitewashing. What you’re probably thinking of is Beatrix, who is supposed to represent the role of the Trix or something. And Elisha is British I’m pretty sure. Some people tried to say she had Singaporean heritage but I don’t think that’s true. I'm an ARTPOP bitch, baby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that's the reason about Flora I think they did good, cause if she doesn't look like Flora they can't name her Flora. Then she should indeed be a different character.( even if they have similar power). Musa doesn't look comepletly white to me, but yeah she doesn't look very Asian either. At least Bloom, Stella and Aisha/Layla look good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She still has the same powers / personality. And the name change was after the casting as well I think I'm an ARTPOP bitch, baby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then tried to recreate Flora into Terra but they are still pretty much the exact same character. Oh wasn't aware Flora was poc. But like no Flora? Childhood ruined. And Techna was like my childhood crush... sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHALLOW 16,382 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Another teen drama. I just can't take them anymore. Can't they just reboot the old version of the cartoon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShayCristoforo 10,607 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 You guys don’t remember when the white girls (the show, basically) condemned black hair aggressively? It’s awful... The new series should’ve really paid attention to this precedence and try to correct it Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
