LoliRock - Music and Magic questions
I started off not sure whether to watch the show at first. But when I saw the first episode, it was really interesting. This girl having singing powers. Seeing Iris babysitting and the objects flying. Her being unable to control things when she sung.
Singing powers she had all her life, but getting stronger not long before she sung before Auriana and Talia.
Talia said to use her singing when she was cornered by Mephisto and Praxina. Talia mentioned she will help her use it in the future. (Something like that)
Then suddenly after that, the band is formed and Iris has perfect control of her singing powers. Singing powers never used ever again!
I don’t really get that at all.

Hi, here’s a very interesting post that we thought deserved an answer. :)

1) About the magic being linked to music

Indeed, at the start of the show, we wanted to link our princesses’ power with music and singing. Unfortunately, the “crystal” aspect was favored over the “musical” aspect, and except for episodes #01 and #05 (”Sing for Me” / “Une voix magique”), this aspect pretty much disappeared in the scripts, with great regrets on our own side too. (Just talk about it with Galou or Bertrand, and you’ll see how frustrated we were. ;))

I guess we’ll use this kind of magic/music in a different show, but not LoliRock unfortunately… :)

2) About Iris being a master of magic too quick.

Now, you’re not the only one who thought the band was very quickly formed, and that Iris became powerful too quick. And we agree with that. Believe us, if we could have written episodes on Iris’ first steps at learning magic, the first concerts of LoliRock, showing the three princesses struggling to make music together, etc, then we would have ! There are still great stories to be told : how Talia and Auriana moved in, Iris discovering the Battle Arena and the Magical Training room for the first time, etc.

However, as we wrote in previous posts, one of our broadcaster’s demand was that episodes could be aired in disorder (save for the first and last one). Giving a feeling of progression became very hard to put into the show. We tried to put it with little hints : you’ll notice that Iris is mostly less confident in magic during the first half of the season than the second half… We made sure she learned some key spells, little by little, going through “Shanila” (it was a key point in her progression) and even create her own spell by the end of the season. (I’ll get back to this point very soon, as it’s part of the questions we received about the season finale episodes). So here we are. It’s not perfect, agreed, but we tried.

I hope this answers your frustration. Again, sorry we couldn’t show you what you expected. That said, we still hope you’ll like the serie as it is. ;) And who knows ? Maybe we’ll be able to tell all these stories one day…
