Excellent analysis on Prue sort of going beyond being a mother figure, but actually taking on more of a father role. Also your theory of why Piper's powers progressed the least, because there was a part of her that did not want them to, was fascinating. It's also interesting that Holly Marie Comb's appearance changed the least over the course of the show. It may be for a similar reason, which was craving stability in what ever way she could get it even if it was something as small as her hair choices.
omg i never thought of that!! The other girls had constant hair makeovers but Piper's stayed pretty consistent
@@SerenaSkybourne yeah, both of you guy's point are so good! I enjoyed the video and the section comments, thank you to both of you!
The most her hair changed was probably around S2 and that's probably when she was having the most fun and experimenting with Dan and Leo.
Great observation
@@SerenaSkybournethe producers would have to paid Shannon Doherty more money to be able to use her likeness in any way and it just wasn't in the budget That's also why they're weren't any photos of her character brenda after she left 90210
I love Holly Mary Combs. She became a mum during the show her body changed. She said they wanted to give her lots of lines about wanting to lose weight and hating her body and she refused to say it
That's horrible! Good for her for standing up to them!
I met her and the actor who played Leo at a bar, I bought them both a drink. She was adorable. Also, I had a friend who was a PA on Nip/Tuck and he told me Julien McMahon smelled really bad.
Fuck yeah!! She is so fine!!!
That doesn't even sound like something Piper would say about herself. It would be more in character for her to acknowledge that while yes, her body had changed and sometimes she misses her body from before, she loves it even more now because it gave her her two boys (and later, her daughter).
@@PieOfEpicness well thanks to Holly it's something that Piper wouldn't say
It's amazing to think that despite Alyssa and Shannon despising each other behind the scenes, they still managed to act like sisters that love each other to death when filming. If I was told by a random person that they didn't get along, I wouldn't have believed them.
Strangely they made peace with each other a few years ago
@@Anas0_ali yeah I totally understand why rose doesn't like Alyssa not surprised that feeling hasn't changed
It's Shannen! It's not Shanon and it's definitely not Sharron
Righhtttt.
@@Anas0_ali apparently Alyssa made the set of charmed very toxic she had a tantrum on set plus because of the me too movement
As a kid, I hated Prue so much because I thought she was too serious and arrogant. But as I got older, I understood her more and more and now she is actually my favorite Charmed character. She is confident, smart, doesn't apologize for being who she is. She didn't have an easy life, in fact she didn't really have a childhood. People often seem to forget that she had to grow up overnight after her mother died and had to act as a "parent" to Phoebe and Piper. This changes people so much. Of course she isn't as carefree as Phoebe is.
But it is true that the show sometimes portrayed Prue as the strongest sister although it was supposed to be equal. Didn't like that aspect.
Even though Prue was my most favorite sister, I have to agree that it wasn't very cool that they made it out like she was the strongest sister because she was the one with actively offensive power. This is why it was great that they gave Piper the ability to make things combust (or "blow things up" llol) to help counteract that and it would've been awesome if Prue was around for season 4 so we could see the sisters being more equally balanced in their abilities when it came to combat. With Phoebe, they at least had her take up martial arts to learn how to defend herself and that was a good choice for her.
I didn't care for Prue from the start, tbh Phoebe was a tad grating sometimes too, Paige was always my favorite but I think she was more relatable to me. Piper always felt like the "strongest" sister, not because of power but her character and ethics/morals.
@@morigahn Piper really developed into the eldest sister role very well and in a way that doesn't feel overpowered like Prue.
@@KaiDecadence literally the prophecy said prue was destined to be the strongest sister so even if piper had the combust ability, prue would have gotten something better
@@atlastvera8567 Maybe but it was just nice that Piper got an active power that could be dangerous to those who get in her way lol.
Piper Haliwell has one of the best character developments in all of television! comparing season 1 Piper and Season 8 Piper, the growth, maturity, confidence, sense of self, natural instinct to protect her family is what has made me love her dearly
she was a lot shyer in season 1 and rly came into her own, i love that for her
@@SerenaSkybourne “your the heart of this family Piper” -Patty Halliwell 💖
Please do separate character analysis on the sisters.. I still can’t watch the episode where Prue died again.. Cole is one of my favorite characters but it became corny as it went on. They really did phoebe dirty throughout the show
They really did Cole dirty too!
LITERALLY THO WHY
Yeah after he came back with the new powers I thought that would be it and it’ll be like okay either they are going to break up for good or stay together but it just kept going and got so tiring
ikr! i stopped having interest to continue watching after that episode. 😪
@@3c3ntric_3 Charmed Avengers Endgame Credits Style: th-cam.com/video/4arY9hmsH-g/w-d-xo.html
Ooooh, the OG one was wonderful.
My favourite episode was always the one in which Chris was slowly fading away because Piper and Leo weren't anywhere near to a second try with their relationship and they had to. Otherwise poor Chris wouldn't have been born.
That moment in which he comes back, pumps his fist in the air and shouts "Yes, I'm back!" was sooo funny.
Charmed was a game changer along with Buffy the Vampure Slayer in female led television. Would love to see you do an essay Buffy too!
I'm a big fan of buffy 🙂
Buffy is an icon 💅
hate Joss Whedon but love the buffy. Similar to Rowling and Potter. Oh why do such terrible people produce such good works?
@@rsync9490 I totally agree with you 👍💯
@@rsync9490 I don't think JKR is a terrible person. Sure, she has a few ideas I don't agree but so does my father and I still love him
One thing that annoyed me about Piper was that she was always complaining about how she couldn't have a normal life and yet she refused to bind her children's powers? Like her baby conjured a dragon and killed a man with a magic sword, bind those kids' powers and your life will be a lot less weird
Yeah I really hated how the writer's made piper so annoying to me in the later seasons and I really didn't like the way she treated leo
To be fair she out right says she wishes their Gran would not have bound their powers, while she wanted the normal life, she also realized the powers were part of her and she could not change that, so she wanted her Kids to grow up embracing who they are.
@@gnarleytarley3870 Her kids put them in direct danger by exposing magic into the world and conjuring demons, dragons and other creatures all while Piper moaned about not having a normal life, it became so repetitious after a certain point i couldn't sit through an episode without having to roll my eyes.
@@mariashaki89 You are right in the sense that Piper's sons are WAY stronger than the Charmed Ones when they were younger, so binding their powers would be way different scenarios. When Piper was a child she could've never been able to conjure a whole life-size dragon on her own on the spot just as easily as Wyatt did. So, again, binding their powers until her sons were a little older wouldn't have been suuuuch a bad idea, imo.
Piper is the most selfish, annoying, bitchy, character ever ever omg. I always wanted them kill her off since she was literally never happy. She just bitched the whole time and only cared about herself and having a boyfriend and treating Leo like crap
The concept of barbas is pretty scary and good but shax looks like living cement
I love the demon of fear
@@Missmagazinebura he’s one of my favs
I thought shax was Fabio
My favorite line of Barbas is “Miss me my baby’s” 😂 he’s my favorite villain of all in charmed, the actor and the concept of his character are great 👌🏾
My favourite sister is Piper. I relate to her all to well, especially in the early seasons. I'm the middle child, a people-pleaser, and in a relationship with someone who's "geographicaly undesirable."
For the others, I' probably say:
2. Paige
3. Prue
3. Phoebe
So interesting to read someones opinion like this. I did not like that much Piper BECAUSE she is a lot like me :D I loved Paige bc she is the I wanted to be and Phoebe too. So my list would be Paige, Phoebe, Piper, Prue.
@@nickyalexen yea I get that. I relate too much to her, but I can't help it lol. It's a love/hate relationship if I'm being honest. I'll roll my eyes at her one second and then be cheering for her the next
Piper was probably my favorite too for those same reasons
god this show is my everything. I watch it once a year and I never get tired of it. I’m excited to hear your thoughts!
same! literally my guilty pleasure
Me too!!!
Me too, I swear I've watched it so many times i've even memorized the dialogue LOL
One of my favorite charmed retcons is the addition of the Cleaners. Like "hey. We exist solely to protect the secret of the magical world. Sorry about your sister. We were on vacation when that happened."
Another great thing about earlier seasons was how well structured everything was, at the start of the episode we would see the sisters doing their thing joking around and all that and then they would do something which could be considered wrong but not noticeably, and then in a very subtle way the evil they faced in the episode was related to their earlier sin and finally at the end they learnt their moral and recorrected it, it just made everything feel so smooth and work so well, that was the best time I think for charmed.
Yeah the early seasons of the show are the best
I really enjoyed rose as paige the writer's made a smart choice not recasting prue to me paige is the most compassionate of the sisters
Paige is better
I thought this was the best introduction/“replacement “ character. Most shows mess it up royally but I thought that the character made sense and I love that she didn’t end up just seeming like a space filler or a cheap remake of the lost character.
@@d.l831 You really can't go wrong with Rose McGowan. She's magnetic!
@@A5H_01 yep totally agree about rose
I loved Prue, but I never came to terms with favoriting her like many did. I think it was her bossy/motherly figure type that tipped me off. I understand from her background pov why she was like that, but I feel like she couldve softened a bit more. Especially with Phoebe as well. Like I got they had their differences when she left.
When Paige tagged along I was first a bit bleh, but as I am rewatching atm again (currently just started season 7) I have started to accept and love her character more. I love her independence whilst still trying to get used to having sisters and be a team which does sometimes bring her in troubles and learning the consequences from tha.t
The comparison of Prue to a dad of the girls is so good, ive never realized it but it makes so much sense, it also ties in with the fact their mother was gone, Prue stepped in and took over both of the parent roles
Are we all gonna forget that Grams was still alive? This hagiography of Prue is starting to get out of hand 😅
@@TCt83067695 yes, she was alive but it maybe Prue stepped because of her inner controlling mentality, she wanted to help Grams and also take care of everything
@@wikstr18 in my view, it seems it was Grams holding the fort before her death and then Prue only started to take over after they became witches.
We even had the flashback episode in S3 where it seems Piper was the person trying to hold the family together, more so than Prue.
@@TCt83067695 that is correct but in the flashback we see them right before Grams dies, we didnt see them when they were younger, I mean we did see them in that 70s episode but their mom was still there
Can't wait to watch! There aren't many videos about Charmed, so excited to see what you have to say! x
You’re too sweet
Shannon doherty didn’t get along with Alyssa Milano
Prue is my favorite of the sisters (followed by Piper), so its crazy to me to think that there are people who genuinely don't like her. Either way, I was DEVASTATED when they killed her off at the beginning of season 4 (not to mention having to wait between 3 and 4 to even find out if she lived or not, because cliffhangers). I think out of all the sisters, I enjoyed her development the most.
I didn't like Prue because I started watching with Paige, and I was very territorial about her place in the show. After I matured out of that, I liked Prue and actually relate to her the most because I'm a perfectionist, so I thought it was bad how she became too overpowered (both as a witch within the story and a character in an ensemble) because her arc is to not strive to do everything.
At least in my interpretation of Prue.
Mine was Piper for the very reason you stated. I don’t like change, I love my routine. And I do think you diminished her role quite a bit. She was the glue that sticked both extreme sisters together in the earlier seasons and she was still the stability needed in the later ones. She was less erratic and gave us a sense of security as the viewer. The Leo story did became boring at the end but not as much as the overplayed Cole one.
This is literally my go to show when I'm depressed or need a pick me up. I rewatch seasons 5-8 all the time. The new charmed does not compareeeeee
Chris in seasn 6 is such an interesting character.
This was such a good show. Imo season 4 was the best. The storyline was phenomenal, the comedy wasn't as over the top as it was in later seasons, and the transition they did between Prue and Paige was so well done.
But my favourite storyline and character has to be future Chris in season 6. His story is so sad and beautiful, and the writing was so good when explaining his reasonings.
They changed Chris’ narrative so much, they had to alter the storyline because Holly got pregnant irl, I didn’t this his whole arc was good because it was a little all over the place and nonsensical - he came back to change the the future then would harp of the girls if they tried to learn more about the future in fear of changing it, it made no sense to me 😂
chris honestly is my favorite character after Piper. I think season 6 is the strongest out of the later 4, season 5 was really weak to me and then Leo having to deal with Chris' death was a nice touch for season 7.
@@lonelychild32 Season 3 is my favorite, but Chris storyline is my favorite one. Although sometimes the writing is a bit weak, but the eps that were focused on Chris were great. Chriss Cross when me met Wyatt is so cool
@@AnzuBrief I agree! I also liked that they added tension to chris and leo's relationship, i thought that was good move. I always just wish that if they had made a reboot it would be with the next gen instead, not recycled characters.. that way maybe we would've seen chris again lol
@@lonelychild32 oh yeah! I love the tension between father and son and Leo’s attempts to redeem himself on Chris’ eyes
I never thought of Prue as the most powerful. I have 4 older sisters and this show fully embodied the bond of sisterhood..often times my older sister was idolized by everyone as the strongest. So I felt this viewpoint was very accurate of sister relationships.
If not Prue, then who else did think was the most powerful?
I agree that the first 4 seasons are the golden age of Charmed. The last 4 seasons have gems within them, but overall as a collective, it's definitely not as strong.
Edit: Prue is my favorite character and I love her, but Paige is my second favorite. Both of those ladies brought something very special to each era of Charmed that I feel can not be replicated. Piper and Pheobe are a wonderful foundation, but both Prue and Paige made the show imo.
I loved Piper and Leo, but the writers did them dirty. They could've been done and happy before Leo becomes an elder once they made that decision, their relationship went completely downhill and that's what made Piper so annoying about it because he kept turning into something else all the time (a whitelighter, an elder, an avatar, magic school teacher, a human) and she kept complaining about it. He needed to just stay a whitelighter and be done. She did trip a lot about him being a whitelighter because she hated he needed to go help his charges. Like sweetie, he has a JOB. But that was the writers decision.
Same! Prue and Paige are my favorite. They really gave the show that special ingredient in their respective seasons. They also have my favorite powers as well.
Also, she always had a new guy as soon as Leo was gone! Yet, he continued to return to her...good man!
I think he eventually should have just become human or had him age like a normal person.
I loved this episode! Pru is my favorite… she is a first-born and feisty just like me and she loves hard, is loyal, and does what’s right.
I've always also related to Prue, She was the perfect example of the oldest sibling, I am the oldest in my family and have 4 younger siblings and as corny as it may sound I really tried to model myself according to her a lot, especially her maturity, patience and strong will to lead no matter the situation.
This show is one I watched since I was probably 8 or 9 years old, and when I watched it back then I had no bond to Prue at all. I was the coddled baby of the family so I identified strongly with Phoebe. Piper I loved the most when she had to deal with being a mediator. But rewatching the show as a grown woman, I absolutely fell head over heels for Prue. She’s by far the most complex character and I actually find the “mary sue” aspect of her to be amazing when she’s the one who dies. Her strength and the idea that she’s the most powerful makes sense BECAUSE the sisters adore her (she raised them along with their gran, so of course they’d have almost a maternal adoration of her), and it makes the loss so much greater because they have to reconcile with their own image of her. And maybe that one of the reasons she was the strongest was because Piper and Phoebe relied so heavily on her, that they never pushed themselves the way Prue (sometimes unknowingly) did with her patterns of behavior.
Okay I need to add one more comment because I forgot this; I actually disagree with you about the Cole/Phoebe thing. For me, growing up, it was amazing to see a serious relationship NOT work out, and for the girl to realize it’s not going to work.
Furthermore I don’t agree that he truly loved her in the end. I think he did at one point but it became VERY clear that if he truly loved her he wouldn’t have put her through everything he did. He wouldn’t have allowed his demon half near her and when it happened he should’ve immediately removed himself completely and not given in like he did.
I think in the end what Cole loved about Phoebe was her love. He was in love with being loved. And you can argue to the moon and back whether that was the human part or the demon part, but they are they’re “sharing” the same body and at times the same mind, and in allegoric terms it’s like saying “I love him when he’s sober” bc it doesn’t change that he hurts her and puts her through so much that’s borderline and at times downright abusive. It doesn’t matter if it’s the demon who did it because human Cole allowed it to keep happening when he was himself.
So this show more than any other taught me how hard it can be to love someone so much and realize they’re not good for you; even if you love their good sides.
Thank you so much for doing this, charmed is my favorite show My mom named me after Phoebe's actress and I've been watching this show since I was born And I was born in 2004 and not many kids my age know the amazingness of this show so this is just nostalgic and I watch it pretty much every day over and over again and I do agree that It was too much of a good thing because around a certain season it started decliting but I would still watch it no matter what
I’m a 2004 baby tooooo
@@Madiitetr you are now my favorite person cause the amount of people my age who have no idea what charmed is, is insulting and thank you for knowing this beauty
@@alyssasopinion7617 I’ve met one person younger than me who also knows charmed(besides my sisturd)💀
2003 and I love this show
I'm 2004!!! Watched it with my mum
OMG i can't wait for your analysis of Charmed. I am in my early 30s and grew up with this TV show. It was such an inspiration and shaped me in more ways than I realized.
This was the show my mom and I watched together and every time I go back and watch it now it brings back a lot of happy memories!
On one of the points made in the video, I think I would have been okay with Prue being the most powerful sister if they'd grown up with their powers and it was something where she'd had her powers the longest so she'd had the most time relative to her sisters to strengthen them. Maybe that is true to an extent -- I know they did have powers as young girls but then Grams bound them after their mom died -- but it's still a fact that they went most of their lives without their powers.
Also, I think the Chris storyline is one of my favorites as far as storylines that stretched over an entire season. He was a really complex character and as you got to know him more, understand who he really was and why he came back, I came to really like him. I liked how protective he was over Piper while also having the thing about him not wanting to get too close to her because he remembered how she was dead in his future. I liked how his dislike of Leo from day one was gradually explained and that he did get the chance to take out some of his frustrations from his childhood on Leo and work on the relationship. A lot of the early season things that annoyed me about Chris were explained when his motivations for coming back from the future were revealed, and even when I found myself becoming a bit annoyed/feeling like it was being dragged out at the very end I found myself forgiving it because of the way they ended it. Chris' death hit me really hard even though I knew he'd changed the future and that, with the course set now, he'd still be alive because there was now no reason for him to come back. I think it hit me that hard because I'd watched him work through his trauma and come to a place where he did have a good relationship with his father, got to actually know his mother and her love, and was probably the most at peace with himself and his life that he'd ever been.
I watched it w my mom too! N I also loved the Chris storyline for ALL the reasons u stated 🙌 as well as his relationship w his grandpa and the weird isolated sibling relationship w baby wyatt it really shows how chris hated future evil Wyatt but still loved him and wanted to save not only everyone else but Wyatt too
@@Madiitetr Yes! I loved Chris' relationship with his grandpa and it always makes me smile seeing the scenes where adult Chris is playing with baby Wyatt both because a) when you understand the relationship between the characters it's more than a little funny and b) shows how much he cares about his brother. Chris' love for his big brother really is the driving force behind all of his actions in season 6. He knows that stopping Wyatt from going evil doesn't necessarily mean preventing his mom or aunts' deaths, but it means his brother (and the entire world really) will be saved.
@@bellascerpe933 I think the ChrisxVictor relationship was one of the most natural that Chris had even when victor had no clue. And omgs yes it’s hilariously ironic watching Chris playing and having around baby Wyatt the only part that befuddled me a bit is when Chris is standing in wyatts door way saying something along the lines of “if I can’t save you I’ll stop u” like does that mean he would kill him or sum😭💀
Ugh me too, the Chris storyline is the reason season 6 is my second favourite season (behind season 3) - his character and his connection to the sisters + the reason he came back from the future is such a compelling and touching story
Same! My mom introduced me to this series and it's still one of my favorites. Also, season 6 is my favorite one don't understand why it gets so much hate
My comfort channel talking about my comfort show. I love it.
haha a good combination
Still my favorite fantasy show ever, it's such a comfort place for me to go to the world of Charmed. My favorite sister is Piper, I just live Holly and her acting but my favorite power set is Paige's, her telekinetic orbing and whitelighter powers were so useful!
Their was supposed to be a storyline that had cole being in a love triangle with phoebe and paige in season 5 but all three actors rejected that storyline
Wow that would’ve been terrible
Thank god
Yeah that storyline would had been horrible 😬
So happy you’re reviewing this classic! My freshman college roommate got me into watching reruns and it was such a comfort watch for me!
Yes the original series is such a comfort I have been rewatching the show
Omg it’s funny you said it’s one of those shows you watch when you have a sick day cause when I was 7-9 back in primary school I used to watch Charmed whenever I was sick and stayed home 😅
Literally screamed when I saw this, nobody talks about Charmed and it’s such a shame because ITS AMAZING! Been watching it for my entire life as my mum was a huge fan when it came out, such an amazing show!
40 MINUTES? YAYYYYYY
Thankyouuuu
I loved Phoebe and Cole and their tragic love story. Julian McMahon was so good at being bad!
Yes they were a great couple and would have liked to have a different ending mostly a more positive one. :)
@@laurak7203 He's a demon. Where is the ambiguity there?
I was 11 when this came out, am 35 now and still think about how much I wish I could freeze time like Piper! 😂
Charmed shaped me and my lil brother so much, we absolutely became obsessed. Watching your take unlocked old memories of us watching reruns all the time and just bonding over it. ❤
Oh my gosh thank you for reviewing it, I'mma watch this later while drinking coffee and relaxing
This show has a special place in my heart too. I grew up without a mother and it’s been hard growing up as a woman without and female figure but I grew up watching Charmed and it was like all the sisters where a combined mother for me and I could not have been the strong woman I am now without them 🥰
That's so sweet 💖
As I've continued to rewatch over the years, I find myself loving and relating more and more to Prue. She's the oldest sister, she had to take on a parental role at a young age, and she will do whatever she can to protect her sisters. Those are things I all identify with, I am the oldest sibling, I also went through trauma that meant I had to take on a role that was older than my years, and even though I struggle to get along with my younger brother, I would absolutely do anything for him.
I enjoyed Prue, but I felt like the show was mainly focused on her rather than all 3 sisters. Once she died you really get to see each sister get more focus which is what I really loved.
Piper having a sort of romance w the ghost of the dead guy was one of my favorite episodes & the actor is John Cho!! (Referencing your comments around 32:45)
I really enjoyed this video! You pointed out a lot of positives and flaws with the show.
My mom watched it back in the day and she only liked the first three seasons (which we got in dvd boxed set) and we tried to watch season 4 but we struggled 😭 we’re Prue fans for life!!
The Ghost guy was my favorite episode character. He was so sweet.
Unpopular opinion: him and Piper could be the best couple, if he were alive.
@@lavenderdream4117 agreed ngl
@@lavenderdream4117 her perfect man is a dead man.
Charmed is truly one of the best comfort shows. I love it but I do wish they would have at least stayed at 7 seasons. Losing Daryl was upsetting. I loved his relationship with the girls and his presence grounded the series. Why get rid of him and then bring in Billy.
Phoebe was my favorite for a long time but I think Prue is my favorite as a adult. I really like Paige though. She had such wonderful and realistic growth throughout the series.
The relationships that were best were the sisterly ones, the platonic ones, and the family ones. I wasn’t a big fan of the romance in the show. Probably because of how it took over like you said.
Great video. I would love a part 2.
The reason Daryl wasn't in season 8 was because of budget cuts that's also why leo only appeared in a few episodes in season 8 and as for billy since the three leads had refused to show any skin anymore the studio decided to hire kaley cuoco for arm candy to please the male audience
Prue is definitely my favorite sister in the series 💝💯
Parallel between charmed n h2o: Cleo/piper being the most resistant of the three to learn of their newfound abilities vs rikki&emma/prue&phoebe diving into the new aspects of their lives
Yasssssss!!!!! I've always said this. Emma was the Prue, Cleo was the Piper, Rikki was sorta closer to Phoebe, and Bella was the Paige kinda
@@neishawnjohnson7602 Ahhh I didn’t even connect Bella and Paige u r spot onnnn
I was literally just thinking about all of the similarities!
Wow bcuz I thought this for awhile lol!
SO happy you did one on Charmed... i was waiting hahaha 💜
I will NEVER forgive Charmed for what they did to Cole. He and Phoebe were literally happy and ready to get married, only for him to be turned evil after sacrificing himself to SAVE Phoebe and the sisters and then just get called evil by everyone and have all his good deeds erased.
Also Season 8 was just AWFUL and became more of the Billie show than the the Halliwell sisters show.
Charmed was one of my favourite shows growing up, and it's still very dear to me. I rewatched all of it in dvd (I remember saving to buy those way back then) at the beginning of the pandemic because it's still a comfort show for me. That said, the 8th season feels even more tacked on than what I remembered, personally I think the 7th season's ending was good enough as a show finale by itself.
The main issue I have with it, beside not being very inclusive, is that many storylines drags way too long (Cole and Phoebe, Paige's temp jobs, Piper and Leo's marriage issues, everything regarding the magic school).
Tbh I don't have a favourite sister, but the character I cannot stand to this day is Wyatt. He's however is called a male Mary Sue even before he's born, as an adult when he's evil is cartoonish and when he's good is the blandest goody good guy. The sisters are characters that are at least interesting and fun to watch, even if one may or may not like one of them, and are decently developed, while Wyatt is the goddamn Wesley Crusher of Charmed
Hey Serena, love your essays! I was wondering, have you ever considered watching/have watched Witches of West End? It was cancelled after 2 seasons, I think, but I'm sure it deserved more, since many issues remained unsolved. Its main pro was that it was really a fantasy show for older people/new adults: every character was 25 or above and there was no teenage misrepresentation, which made it nearly one show of a kind in that genre!
Yes the show was canceled after two seasons it definitely should had lasted much longer 🤔
i watched one episode haha, but i cant remember anything lmao. I remember thinking it was good though
I really enjoyed that show. I wish had one more season at least.
So few people know about that show but it was great
Oh I loved that show I was so sad there wasn't more
I’m so glad you decided to talk about Charmed! You should totally make a video on the Winx Club, I adored that show when I was younger and I wish they’d followed the original series more closely with the reboot.
Anyway, Prue was my favourite and I couldn’t stand Phoebe (outside of the Cole relationship lol, I loved that). I liked her personality and profession the best, but I was surprised by how much I liked Paige later on. I still wish Prue had stayed though!
Also, I loved how the sisters had specialties based on their own natural (non-magical) skills and personalities:
Prue (as an organized person and initially an antiquities collector) was the master of the Book of Shadows and research. I think she would be the one to recall information from the Book and find stuff they needed.
Piper as the chef and natural cook was the master of potions.
Phoebe, the writer, was the best with creating new spells on the fly. It also helped give her a leg up because she initially didn’t have active powers and had to rely on spells more than her sisters.
Paige seemed to be the one scrying the most, which helped once she got her orbing down and would go help innocents and her charges. Otherwise she too began taking an interest in the Book. Plus she was the inherent whitelighter of the sisters and could eventually heal and orb everyone around. Her being half whitelighter worked with her background in social work and wanting to help people.
Omg I never thought of that !
I totally agree about Charmed losing its charm after season 4, and you could definitely feel something was missing when Constance left. Honestly I couldn't choose who was my favorite sister is, all four sisters always held a special space in my heart. Originally a middle child who became the eldest I connected the most with Piper while have a great appreciation for the responsibilities both she and Prue have being the eldest. Personality wise I connected with Phoebe and Paige. How dare you dismiss the Chris storyline (lol), grant I wasn't a huge fan of the magic school, his traveling back in time to save Wyatt from becoming evil (like Phoebe also born in the house but also tortured by someone they trusted). It also allowed him to save his family in the future as well. I totally agree about Cole, he deserved better. Honestly I wished Piper had stayed with Dan, I know an unpopular opinion.
I'm very very surprised to see a Charmed review, Serena! Glad you did one cuz it did bring a new perspective to the show that I hadn't seen before.
- Furthermore, Prue was my favorite character hands down. I think it's because as an eldest sibling myself, I relate to her a lot. The whole aspect of helping lead the family, taking care of things when your parents aren't around, being a good example in general, doing good in school/ work, etc. Is very relatable.
I loved how she was this sort of no nonsense, idealistic, bossy, older sibling who slowly loosened up as the show went on. I loved how you talked about her hair btw lol 😆. I definitely noticed that as well & its relation to her character development.
In terms of powers she had a lot of potential and one of the strongest and most versatile powers of the witches in the show. If you think about it her telekinesis could have evolved into being able to make objects of people explode via telekinesis to imitate Piper (the episode where the sisters went to the future to save Phoebe from being executed she did). She could have use telekinesis to levitate like Phoebe, which luckily we got to see several times. Heck she even became an Empath before Phebe did...
--2nd point: I actually liked Billie in the show (when she was 1st introduced). I feel like no one is saying this but Billie got nerfed...like hard.
If you think about it she started off as a bad bish: the all black outfit, being able to fight and hold her own, incorporating telekinesis in her very acrobatic hand to hand combat (like Prue started to do), and had the potential to be a way more powerful witch, especially with the whole Projection power she had, which it literally Reality Warping.
After she got with the charmed ones, no more cool acrobatics, no more black suit, she was barely using her powers, and she started to make very dumb (amateur) choices, which contrasted heavily with her intelligence, tracking abilities, and general prowess when she first was introduced.
I'd say they dumbed her down to make the charmed ones appear more level headed, experienced, and "senior" to her. This in turn made me like her less. If she had kept up the whole girl boss thang going she would have been my most fav character in the show (even slightly more than Prue🤷🏽♀️). I know people hated her but I said what I said.
- Side note about Piper's powers, her power isn't time manipulation; it's molecular immobilization. She stops people, objects, and certain forms of matter via "stopping" them on a molecular level. This later evolved to her being able to blow things up via speeding up the objects molecules, thus making them explode.
Big different from freezing time. Piper was often referred to as the charmed one who freezes time for ease of explanation and because Melinda Warren did not have the language to accurately describe her powers (if I remember correctly).
RIP to my grammatical errors. I typically reread my comments but didn't this time cuz I was rushing lmao.
Loved this video so much and agree 100% on everything you’ve said about the show!! 😍
thankyouuu gorg
i’m so happy to see someone talk about the show! one of my absolute favorites
Never seen this show but my mom and sister have seen it all and obviously I’m not gonna miss a Serena video
I am soooo happy to see this!!
Oh man, this show is probably one of my all time favorites. This was an awesome video and brought up so many of my charmed feelings and thoughts. I adore this show so much, ever since i was a little kid. Season 6 in particular just gets me, Chris was such a fun, well acted character and I loved his plotline with coming back to save Wyatt so much. It fit so well with the shows themes of family, and even if it might not have originally been the plan (I've heard conflicting stories about it) there are so many little similarities between him and the rest of the family that seem so obvious with hindsight, such as his appearance, his sass, his powers, the way he knew them all so well, his single minded focus, ect. Really excellent character development there.
I just wanted to comment on the whole Cole situation, cause I realized something while you were talking about it that helped me understand why I was always so conflicted with it. He actually did get that redemption arc you wanted him to because he started out as a demon but redeemed himself near then end of season 3 and into season 4, but then out of nowhere they just kind of scrapped it. By the time they had him wanting to be good again he'd already done way to much evil to Pheobe and her family for a second redemption to work, and his obsession led to him just doing more harm to her and pushing her further away and none of it needed to happen. It was like they redeemed him and then regretted it and backpedaled, but then didn't want to loose Julian so we got this weird plotline where the harder he tried to get her back the more he became the crazy, stalker, abusive ex and there was nowhere to go from there. It was very weird because they could have just avoided that by continuing with his original redemption arc. By the end it was so annoying I had grown to hate the character and was glad he died, which is a shame, but i think it was better for Pheobe's character by that point. She really sprouted after that.
Unfortunately that meant they'd put all this effort into Pheobe's romance with Cole and they didn't know what to do with her love life after that. It's like they really couldn't decide until right at then end when they flat out needed one and they through Coop in. Wich is a shame because I do actually think Coop and Pheobe work well together but they didn't have time to be fleshed out and developed enough. If they'd just committed to a romance for Pheobe earlier and developed it, even just at the beginning of the season like Paige and Henry, it would have worked much better. I think Coop and Pheobe could have been really cute if we'd just gotten to see more of them actually together and falling in love.
Woah, this got long lol. Sorry about that, I've loved this show since I was a little kid and none of my friends watch it so I've got no one to talk to about it lmao
I always thought that Cole's arc was so hectic due to the actor leaving the show. He got his own, and when it was announced, or around that time, the relationship between them started to go downhill again.
I believe they would have reconciled if not that. But the show needed to write him off somehow.
And I hated what they did with him, especially because he fought tooth and nail not to succumb to the Source, but it was Phoebe herself who pushed him over the edge. ANd after her sisters saved her, it suddenly was all his fault.
@@Lina-lq7jm Yes that is my thought too. They should have done it differently. It just makes no sense. Glad to see that there are people thinking the same.
Omg I can't believe you did it!!!! Charmed is my favorite tv show of all time. I've been watching it since I was a toddler when my mom watched it, so it's thanks to her I was exposed to this amazing show. Prue will always be my favorite because I love a strong female characters. Prue is the strongest because she's the oldest. That goes for any magical family not just the Halliwells based on the lore. She died so early. Still upset that she died🥺😢. Piper took over for Prue really well, but one thing she didn't have that Prue had was great senses. There were alot of things she should've seen or could've prevented like being aware of Cole becoming evil again and or Phoebe turning evil. She should've been alert to these things,, especially when she's been at it longer than Paige who sensed it immediately.
You mean mark from season 1 where piper falls in love with a ghost holly and john cho had great chemistry together plus that was the only time that one of the sisters was in a interracial relationship
I’ve been waiting for a video essay about charmed!!!!! Ty!!!
soo happy you made this video because Charmed is my favorite show lol. but I’m not gonna lie the Cole has some of my fav storylines! that’s one of the main things that makes me rewatch it. i just love the character development and the internal conflict of good vs evil for him and Phoebe . i think for me where it takes a turn is when it becomes the Phoebe show, and i feel the last season is just unnecessary. but the character development in this show is on point, don’t even get me started on Piper! i love seeing her growth after Prue dies.
i’m definitely in favor of a part 2 because i could also talk about this show forever 😂😂
I loved Prue. She was the realest character. Her death was really hard to take
I really liked paige and I truly feel like 4 charmed ones would've been the coolest thing ever. And as a young 13 14 and 15 years old I couldn't understand why they killed Prue off. Especially seeing how Leo healed them in the same episode. I'm sooo glad I watched this after it was ended, Because I didn't have to wait months on edge when those cliff hangers were done.
You actually made me rewatch it!! Thanks xx
Phoebe was always my favorite, I guess I'm as obsessed with love and falling in love as she is and I really liked her empathetic side and how it actually started taking a toll oj jer so she had to learn to believe in herself and put herself first.
You should make one for Sabrina the teenage witch
ahhhhh i’ve been waiting for someone to do this retrospective for so long
I’m so confused is this a reupload because I remember watching part of this video and falling asleep but when I went to my history this video wasn’t there but I swear I watched this video already
I'm 22 and live for this show the comedy and humor I have a lot of love for Charmed and I'm so happy it's still so current to life now can't wait to see more of this !! It's such a comfort I will never get tired of the sisters three - blessed be
I think reason why Piper was a bit whingeing or complaining, it because she never really want this power and responsibility.
Which I could understand, given something that. You never wanted or ask for to begin with. She being the middle child, always hold the peace.
Between of the oldest and youngest sisters, because it difficult to be the middle child. Because you are in middle. Of problems and obstacles.
Piper can be annoying and a bit whiny at time, but I can’t blame her why she does or what her is. After Prue die, she have to take the role of the older sister.
Something that she thought she have to take, because no longer in the middle child any more. Once Prue is gone, which is pretty much a big weight on her shoulder.
A big role that she have to take, as she has trouble making decisions. Which I could relate to her, being the middle child.
With Cole, to me it made sense why things ended like that. Initially he was half demon and so his humanity is drawn to phoebe however, after his demon half was stripped and he then became possessed by the source the only outcome was either him submitting to evil or let the sisters get rid of the source. He chose not to and eventually became the source. From the beginning charmed established that should mortals get powers they will eventually become insane just like the doctor. When Cole took on multiple demonic powers he eventually became insane especially after phoebe resisting him due to not wanting to be evil. That became her greatest fear.
Omgosh, I related so much to your comment at the start. Charmed is THE comfort show. I really enjoyed hearing your views on the show and hope we get a part two🤞
Please do a part 2! I loved this!!!
this is a minor note, but thank you for actually taking the effort to use clips from the beautiful hd remaster. i love this show so much
I really loved Charmed. I got into it about I want to say about 10 years ago. To me the first 3 seasons were great. 4 was pretty good. But then everything started slowly going down hill. When looking at the first and last seasons, it feels like 2 different shows. I really enjoyed Piper and Leo at the beginning, but then they started getting on my nerves. I really loved the way the show focused on the sisters's relationships with each other and even when Paige came in, there were complicated feelings which I imagine is realistic. Not only did they lose their older sister, but to then find out that they have a younger sister they never knew about must be complicated. I enjoyed when they went back into the past because it allowed them to get closure that they never had, but when Wyatt and Chris came from the future, that's where I wasn't fond of the time travel aspect. I think it's just the idea that if you know your future, you can change it either for the better or for the worst. Getting rid of Darryl was a bad decision. I really loved his dynamic with the sisters and he provided a sense of normalness in a magical show. Prue was my favourite because I am the oldest sibling so I can relate on some level to her need to take care of her younger sisters especially when their mom died and then their grandma died and she just had to be the mom, dad, grandma. I love Piper as well. She was the glue that held her sisters together especially Prue and Phoebe. Phoebe is another character that I can relate to because everyone expects her to have her life figured out and she is still trying to find her place in the world and figure out what she wants to do. Paige was interesting because she always sort of felt like the outsider. She was sort of invading the family that had just lost their big sister who had done everything for them. She was kind of my least favourite character out of the 4, but she still had good moments that made me genuinely love her. All 4 sisters were great. Overall, this show is a lot of fun but went on for too long and lost some of it's magic along the way. ***Also I'm not fond of the reboot Charmed. I think I got almost halfway through Season 1 and it was basically just OG Charmed. Yes there is diversity with the actresses being women of colour and LGBTQ+ representation and that's great, but it just felt too similar to OG Charmed and I have a soft spot in my heart for the OG. I wish they would have taken different approaches to things to make it similar, yet different.***
Just started watching. So happy you're covering this one. I still watch random episodes every now and then. I think the show, as you said, was dragged a bit. BUT... the series finale was worth the drag, in my opinion; it was wholesome and just perfect for the show and the story.
This was a treat 👏🏾👏🏾
Being from New orleans and having the cultural history we have I truly enjoyed this authentic view of practical magick
Yaaaaaaaaay I loved this video! Charmed was always one of my favourite shows and for me seasons 4-6 were the best, Paige was absolutely my favourite of the sisters and I to this day still can recite the theme song it was so great having such a great empowering show
Great video! Thanks.
Piper was always my fav. I grew up in an unstable home and I could relate to her desire for everything to just be calm. On top of that she showed some body image issues yet was beautiful. She was also a bit bigger than the other girls and as someone on the bigger size who felt ugly it was good to see her.
Prue was too strong for me to relate to. She was too confident, to put together. And Phoebe was to fabulous, to outgoing, and to beautiful. I could relate to Paige but Piper was already my favourite and her growth was inspiring. I got a bit snarkier thanks to her and learnt I had value thanks to her. It probably sounds stupid but my mum was my main... bully, to watching Piper become a mum helped me see what motherly love was meant to be. Mums in other shows were too perfect at times whereas she failed, she got too protective sometimes, she struggled to balance her mum life, personal life, romantic life, and professional life, but she loved her kids and always tried. I get why others might not like her but she was what I needed at the time. And getting to meet Holly Combs at Supanova was amazing.
Plsssss do a part twoooo
I started studying Wiccan in 7th grade. So in 8th grade when I started watching avidly after school I will never forget the emotions I felt when phoebe was burned alive. Prue and piper emotions and phoebe maturity ... I cried like a damn baby!!! I felt that fire in my soul
I wanted to re-watch it for the longest time, maybe it's a sign I should do it now. my mom was a big fan and so by extension was I - always went before the tv the moment I heard it was on haha
Piper was my favorite from start until the end. I love how she can be so strong, but still so affectionate and caring and also funny all at the same time. I loved Prue and Phoebe as well, especially Prue and the bond she shared with Piper, that was one of my favorite things on the show. On the other hand… I really disliked Paige, I hated the character so much, and her relationship with the sisters seemed so forced and unnatural, it changed my experience with the show forever. Until now when I rewatch it, I can only rewatch the first three seasons without feeling sorry that the sisterhood that I loved so much ended so early on.
Aweeee
Season 1 to 4 were so great because of constance m Bruce she was so right to be frustrated with brad kerns once she left the back broke on the show
Fantastic video in every way ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was so young when it came out so my favorite character was Page simply because Rose MC Gowan was so pretty 🤣 I always wanted to be her when we were playing as friends. The other ones fighted over who got to be Phoebe.
Lovely memories
First of all, I love your analysis of the sisters. I never really knew why I liked this show so much but hearing how much care and thought went into creating the characters and the world just made me love it more. My mother introduced me to this show as soon as I was old enough to watch it and it became this sort of comfort show that I watched with my older sister and my mother together.
My favorite sister used to be Phoebe in the first three seasons since I was for the first ten years of my life the youngest child and was also very lost and I also was a sucker for the ColexPhoebe drama. When I became the middle child and my younger sister came into the picture I found myself relating more to Piper, since she was too a middle child and always had to play mediator and was a people pleaser etc. And after the death of Prue, she was thrust into the role of the oldest sister and suddenly she had to take care of her sisters and the household and due to some private stuff (that would be a little TMI), I felt too like I was pushed into the role of the oldest sister and I could relate to her on so many levels. The whining you mentioned was actually something that I could relate to (even though I did too find it annoying sometimes because who wouldn't want to be a witch). But I related to it in a sense of "I too wish that we could just be a stable and normal family" and while I was less interested in her ongoing drama with Leo and the whole child storylines I did relate to her the most.
Looking back now I think I would probably choose Phoebe as my favorite character for the same reasons you mentioned. Regarding the Cole-redemption-thing, I understand that he was incredibly evil and that many people are over the "I can change him" trope but I loved their chemistry and the beginning of their relationship. They've been through so much and Cupid felt like an afterthought. Like oh right we have to get Phoebe a man and they just went with this guy instead of actually taking a little more time to develop the relationship between these two. I didn't hate it, but I do think that it would've needed a little more time to unfold its full potential. Also, the little naive part of me was hoping for a ColexPhoebe endgame until the very last episode xD
I just re watched this whole series. Always intrigued to hear your throughs .. one of my favorite shows thanks for making my day. We need a whole video on cole because he was my favorite and I didn’t like the way phoebe and cole story ended they deserved better
Yeah that would be nice. Cole and Phoebe were great
yes 👏was waiting this day
I love your hair! Red looks amazing on you🥰 and thanks so much for doing a video on Charmed. It's one of my favorite shows 😊
thankyou boo!

I didn't realise that, but yes, I see it too now that you've pointed it out 💓
I’m so excited about this charmed is in my top five of my favourite shows of all time and every watched it like 5 times, can’t wait to see your input.
Curious what is ur top five?
Also love ur name 🥰

8
I do want to say I think season eight is not like the worst season of television it’s just that it’s not the show that I love it doesn’t feel like the show and that’s why it’s last so I could see an argument for it being higher
also I wish I could place season two higher but I just couldn’t and the biggest reason is the love triangle between piper Leo and Dan. Piper is my favourite character and this storyline was horrifying and I was pissed.
This is a very good observation of the original show Charmed...AWESOME REVIEW
thankyou Daniel!
Excellent analysis! Seasons 1-4 were my favorite. My favorite sister changed over the course of the series. Prue was my favorite up until her death. Then Phoebe then Piper. As the show became outlandish, Paige was the stability that reminded us of the show’s premise during the later seasons.
Charmed in the later seasons did what legacies did those fake corny villains😂
So true 😄😂💯
@@angelaholmes8888 it’s weird because TVD is in my top 5 favorite shows I love the originals but legacies is just bad
I've just started watching Pretty little liars currently on season 4 love Ella wish she had more screentime can't wait to watch your views on it and everything on TH-cam
Hey, Serena! Just watched your video. I want to thank you for your thoughts and opinions about the girls. ❤️❤️ I don't have enough words to express how much I appreciate you talking with so much passion about the show. I felt your excitement for it and love and appreciation. And the case you made about it being a fairytale, I never looked at it that way and because I love fairytales and grew up imagining my fairytale, how I want my life to be, I see now why I was so compelled and so mesmerized by the show in that way. I didn't have anyone to express my thoughts growing up about the love I have for the show and now I feel better having the platform with you and everyone else commenting and expressing themselves about it. So yeah thank you again.
For the answer of your question. I adore Piper ❤️❤️❤️ I can relate so much to her and seeing her grow up evolving season after season the way she did is something very special for me. I love all of the sisters in different ways and appreciating them uniquely for who they are and what they made themselves to be. So Thank you again for reminfind myself how much I appreciate and love this show ❤️❤️❤️ Have a nice day everyone
I think it being like a fairytale is why i resonated so much with it too, but i had no idea that was the case at the time
@@SerenaSkybourne Yeah, I understand. The more I think about it being a fairytale, the more it makes sense. When I was in university I studied the origin, structure and mechanics of what fairytales. It lines up so good. The way it starts the story for hte girls shows the transition from lives in the society, the everyday normal living ( the villige, the tribe the place where its in the norm of normality of reality) and going to the magical unknown outside world filled up with wonder and magic and danger. That's where the protagonist of faitlryrales begin their journey and growing up, and maturing and learning about their capabilities, powers. There is a goal - the fight between good and evil and there is the ending of the fairytale where you have the compete circles where they find themselves learn what they supposed to learn, slay the antagonist of their stories and live happily ever after (that's why I was so emotional about the ending because it was a classic fairytale ending) and they go back to the "every day normal lives" but changed ( not that they stop being witches but definettly live the ending they wanted) ❤️❤️❤️❤️
love your summary and knowledge.
i love you!
