In an ideal world, we would have gotten the new generation of the Charmed sisters (Chris and Wyatt ). Not a complete overhaul of a universe that already exists. When it comes to slayers, the Buffy reboot acknowledges there is one Buffy, one Willow etc. But there are plenty of Slayers, it's already canon. They're are only one Charmed sisters. This rebooted Charmed just replaced the old sisters with a younger and modernized version of them. Sorry if this seems like a rant. IDK, it could probably be my bias. Or maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but, from what I've seen right now, it's already a massive X from me. |

In the Reboots defense, you couldnt go anywhere with Piper's children. They were hyper OP, and one of the series' most glaring weaknesses. When they grew up, evil would lose.
Correct me if Im wrong, I didn't complete the series. Last edited by Lara's home; 27-07-18 at 13:47. |

I just think it would be boring with the children. I like Charmed being 3 sisters, alone. |

The problem is the pitching and how it's presented. It's ok the maker of neo-Charmed coming out now saying 'oh yeah I respect the original... it existed (Which to me is a complete stock expression hammered off for PR)' now that it's recieved enormous negative backlash. A charmed reboot is not an issue; it's the clear and unashamed pandering premise the new series is basing itself on that I disagree with. Adding into that the acting seen in the trailer just seems bad it's not something I look well upon. This Buffy reboot seems to be setting the right tone from the get go: They're clearly respectful of the original and from one small interview I can see they seem to know their stuff. Not so with the Charmed reboot which was 'hey let's make Charmed again but make it more diverse and overly feminist cause that's what cool now'.

That read like some pretty bad fan-fiction... yikes.
Thankfully they're just books that will be forgotten pretty quickly! Unless (heaven-forbid) they get super-popular, and are made into another horrible YA movie franchise. Last edited by bublehed; 02-08-21 at 15:30. |
