I've heard very few fans ridicule Nabu about Aisha's love life (or anything else). In fact, most people I've met are extremely defensive of him. He was perfect, he was the best guy in the show, he and Aisha were perfect for each other (all other guys are bad for her), and all arguments to the contrary are wrong. That's what I hear 95 percent of the time.

Also, highlighting how inconsistent this show is doesn't change anything. What Rainbow says goes unless (or until) they retcon it. They don't have to confirm everything. Most of the story (even before the Nick seasons) points to Nabu being dead, so that's the most logical explanation.

The comics are an alternate universe, but they reflect what happens in the show. Essentially, if the show confirms something from the comics, it's safe to call it true. When they disagree, the show overrules.

In Roxy's case, the comics called her a Winx, but the show said she's not a Winx. Therefore, she's not a Winx. In Nabu's case, the show and the comics agree. They both said he's dead. Therefore he's dead.

The movies are another story. Only the first one is consistent with the show. Magical Adventure doesn't fit after season four (Nabu being alive isn't the only reason why), so that's not enough proof Rainbow left things uncertain. Mystery of the Abyss's place in the timeline is unclear, too.

Regardless, we can agree on one thing: Nabu's gone for good. The fanbase won't accept that, either. Every season, they say, "Maybe he'll come back this time!" even though it makes no sense for him to. Some have even said they want him back even if he never dates Aisha again! That's what I meant when I said they're obsessed with him.

They also ridicule Aisha for moving on with her life. I've heard them call her a "traitor" and a "Lady of the Night" (to clean up the language). They also claim she's forgotten about him or never loved him at all.

Being with Nabu -- or finding her way back to him -- is not Aisha's purpose in life. If the fans can't let her live without him, then I wonder if they ever liked her herself, or if they only liked her as his girlfriend. He has overshadowed her, and it'd only get worse if he returned. They'd only pay attention to him. (I think that goes for Musa and Riven, too.)

At least because they hate Nex, Aisha outshines him. They don't treat him as more important than (or as important as) her.
