Every Original Charmed Reference In The Charmed Reboot!

[@kmc_918]

This video deserves more views. As a fan to the original charmed I was excited that they were making a reboot. After hearing the direction the show was taking I was a little turned off but decided to give it a shot anyway and I'm glad I did. It's not as bad as everyone makes it seem. The graphics are great, I like the story line, and each character is relatable in a way. It's no original charmed so to compare them is not fair. Try to watch the show as something inspired by the original show not something that supposed to be exactly like the original. Watching your video and seeing some of the things I missed was cool.

[@victorhalliwell2750]

Thank you. Someone else to relate to. I love the OG Charmed, but I really like he reboot. It was modernized in a way. Gave us a new sin on how the Power of 3 works, and much more. I can't wait for S2!

[@cameronbroome7635]

I think the show would do better if it wasn’t “Charmed” and didn’t have to live up to the original.. they could’ve used and different name and connected to the families or something

[@kaymaldo]

I think other than the title and the references, it is a pretty different show with new characters and storyline. But I see why everyone is comparing it back to the original. To me this is like an extension of the Charmed universe following a new journey.

[@cameronbroome7635]

Kristen Maldonado I want them to somehow bring at least one of the originals back like if the summon Prue from the dead or if Cole was the source or something even if Leo was one of the elders. There are so many was to satisfy fans of the original while giving the show a new name.

[@kaymaldo]

I don't think it's even necessarily a matter of the new show not wanting to do that -- I think a lot of the OG cast just isn't interested in being a part of this reboot.

[@ashleighcastillo5482]

@@kaymaldo I completely agree, my sister and I have been huge fans of the orginal charmed since we were kids waiting for new episodes to premiere and being a little skeptical of the reboot we still decided to give it a chance, and honestly we really like it. It was fun and kind of silly to see these new character younger then our orginal sister going through modern day, more relatable -age-wise- problems as well as the problems the halliwell's faced being witches in a busy world. The truth you can only really enjoy the reboot fully if you just remind you're as much as we would like them to be the same show they're not and we need to stop comparing them. Because we're likely to final more difference then similarities, but that doesn't make the reboot a bad show its actually really good once you just let it be it's own show, if you don't think of it as charmed you won't find you're comparing and then you can really get behind the story lines and shenanigans of the characters

There was one line that Harry said in the pilot that made me smile. He said to Mel something along the lines of "Oh your power is to freeze time. Very common with control freaks. ". We all know who he was talking about🤷‍♂️

[@kaymaldo]

Ah true but technically Piper’s power wasn’t time related! It was molecular mobilization, combustion, and acceleration.

[@leo6278]

Kristen Maldonado Yea true! But she was always referred as the "time freezing witch" by demons so it may be a reference to that! I don't know it just clicked right away when I heard that line 🤣

[@kaymaldo]

Very true!

[@NivM10]

Yap. They just changed it to Molecular-based when Shannen left. just to make her the strongest sister. Piper was supposed to be time-related or Temporal stasis just like Nigel (warlock) in Penny's time. From Three Essentials of Magic Timing, Feeling and Phases of the Moon Prophecy. She was referred to as the freezing witch or a witch who could freeze time by demons. In the future self, she never displayed combustion. Her power to freeze things just expanded to a larger scale. I wonder if they worked on their issues, what could have been their Advanced Powers. I guess, she could also have combustion if writers wanted for Piper to have it. It's like a temporal acceleration to the point where it gives too much friction or pressure of the molecules that causes it to explode? Haha You know sometimes they had weird explanation just to connect and make the story plausible. Just like Phoebe's Levitation.

[@OroroMateo10]

@@maddycrawford3765 Reboot is another definition of a remake. Reboot will often have different elements and will attempt to distance itself from the previous films. Chilling Adventure Of Sabrina is a reboot, but has nothing to do with the originals. I respect those people if they dont like the reboot but it's getting better. At least, Charmed Reboot are still 3 sisters who happened to be a witch but in different twist. We all know what happened behind the scenes/off cam issues from the original cast to the writer and producer. Somehow I was disappointed on how the story went and how it ended. To think all the 3 original cast wanted to leave Charmed, but Holly couldnt due to her contract and Alyssa didnt, since Shannen left first. To be honest they were all good Actors, but they could have settled their issues or set it aside.

[@kaymaldo]

Totally agree --- but side note: I would argue that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina isn't a reboot, since it's actually an adaptation of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comic book series. Sabrina has been an Archie Comics character since 1971 and there have been many comics, books, movies, tv shows about her.

[@OroroMateo10]

@@kaymaldo 😊 Netflix called it a reboot from Melissa Joan-Hart's Sabrina the teenage witch, but yeah orig. From comics. But CAOS is a horror and at times gets suprisingly dark in a series and way different from the comics and Melissa's STW which was a bit romantic and light.

[@kaymaldo]

It's an adaptation of the horror comic book series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina from the Archie Horror imprint that Archie Comics launched back in 2015. They have several horror comic series including Afterlife With Archie (which if you look closely in CAOS episodes you can see people reading or holding the TPB), Jughead: The Hunger, and Vampironica. All the comics are much darker than the characters normally have been -- it's really cool. I definitely recommend checking it out!

Totally agree Josh! I thought more people would be able to separate the shows honestly because it’s completely new characters and stories. I like that it’s different.

[@williama7124]

Yanno, I haven't watched the reboot because to me, the Halliwells will always be the one and only Charmed ones. I've seen a few clips of the new show and it doesn't work for me. In its favour id say its great the show has non-white casting in the lead roles and has a strong feminist message behind each ep. But other than that I find it to be reductive. Now the original show wasn't flawless (so many plot holes, continuity errors and I hated the way the sisters were objectified in later seasons) but it knew itself and wasn't trying too hard to be amazing. The new sisters seem constantly clueless has to whats going on around them, everything's a surprise. maybe thats referring to what its like to be young and just figuring life out and all that but It doesn't work for me (and besides we have BTVS for amazing everything is a metaphor storytelling). I dunno. maybe I'm just old now and its good the reboot can find new audiences but its not for me.

I'll Always love the original. I started watching the new one and though its not bad, its also not that good. Also, The description of this new remake ticks me off a little. It's described as a more feminist version with the characters being younger. But that's just not true. Other then having a gay lead character, What else makes this new one more feminist? Prue, Piper, phoebe, and then Paige were kick ass successful women who never needed a man. Prue was a art/antique curator before she became a photographer, Piper was a manger and head chief at a successful restaurant, then became the owner of a night club and eventually she opens her own restaurant while basically single parenting a super powerful kid, and though she bounced around jobs in the beginning, phoebe became a advice columnists for a news paper, and Paige was a social worker. Also, the new Charmed ones are not younger. I don't know why it keeps saying they are. At the beginning of the first season of the Original, it says Phoebe just turned 21, Piper is about 24 or barely 25 and Prue is 27 and Paige is 2 years younger then phoebe. To me the new ones just act younger because the show is set like a tweeny drama like a lot of cw show these days, which makes them feel younger. To me the new sisters seem less independent sense Harry has to keep popping in and telling them how to act and what to do. The original sisters figured it out on there own. Leo was just a guide. Not a teacher. This White lighter acts more like Giles the Watcher from Buffy. Also what the hell is up with the way he talaports? He's Apparating like Harry Potter? Someone should tell this Harry he's not a wizard. lol. Sorry I had to. lol. Sorry for the long comment.:)

[@kaymaldo]

In terms of the feminist story - I think something was lost in translation with their promotion. The OG Charmed was def feminist, especially just like intrinsically in the show. I think when they touted the reboot as feminist they were referencing having really in your face stories around those topics like diving into the Me Too movement, etc. And I will say I also thought Harry was too involved and wished he let the girls be more independent at first watch but I think when I watched it on Netflix the show was a bit better. Watching it week to week live on tv it lost some of its storyline and the pacing felt off, but to binge watch it all at once later on it made much more sense.

[@heidifoss6788]

Pridecat89: i have to agree with you friend.

Something the reboot ia missing is diving in the relationship of sisterhood and the power 3. From the pilot, the og charmed show us how powerful and how connected are the sisters to one another and in the the reboot we don't see that much. It seems that in the reboot they are powerful individually and they get more powerful when they're together but in the og they were powerful because they were together and I kind of want to see that.

[@kaymaldo]

I get that. I original felt like the reboot didn't focus on the sisterhood much but then I realized it was a central theme in terms of trying to build a relationship between them. But realistically there's going to be some hurtles since they didn't grow up together. Kind of like how Piper had a hard time letting Paige in at first.

[@twistedelegance_]

While I don't understand why the original cast is so toxic about the reboot; it's their own fault they couldn't get along to reboot it in 2014, I thought the writing was so much better and didn't underestimate the viewer like the original Charmed did. However, the display of power and the lack of power in the reboot kind of annoyed me. They were supposed to be the most powerful witches but really didn't have all that much power. I guess the cast expected the series would go on for 7 seasons or something, but the last season was really the worst in my opinion, specifically writing wise. Either they had no notice for cancelation, or they ran out of ideas of how to finish the story off, so they couldn't be bothered. The original is definitely superior when it comes to demons, powers, love triangles etc, but it does make the sister seem very low iq at times. I don't think we'll ever see a movie nor continuation to this, so it was fun while it lasted. I was honestly most shocked at how toxic Holly Marie Combs has been about the reboot, I never expected her to be so anti-woke. From Rose, I totally get the hatred cause she is exactly friendly towards LGBT community, but Combs really had me surprised. Then again, her acting was really the worst out of the 4 originals. Always, always the same tone of voice and nearly the same response to whatever problem was going on.

The Charmed reboot is a modern day ripoff of the original.

Great job with this! There were so many little things I missed and others I recognized as well. One similarity that I noticed was in the episode where Charity was messing with Macy's memory and making her think she was going crazy, it kind of reminded me of the season 4 episode "The Fifth Halliwell" when Cole keeps messing with Paige to drive a wedge between her and her sisters.

[@kaymaldo]

Thanks! And great point!

[@kerrieodell1105]

I am a charmed fan from way back, and nothing will ever be better than the og show but I didn't think the remake was as horrible as I expected it to be. Another thing I noticed that was along the same lines in both is the killing of the elders. In the episode(s) oh my goddess pt 1 and 2, the titans tried to wipe out all the elders and Allister/hunter/Fiona did the same in the remake.

[@kaymaldo]

Agreed! It’s not perfect but it has some great moments. Thanks for sharing another connection!

[@victorvera5864]

I remember in the mermaid episode, Piper had used a spell to remove her emotions and fears when she was pregnant with Wyatt. This caused her to not fear for her baby's safety whe she was being tortured by the sea witch and when she hit a rock she thought she killed her baby, but Wyatt healed himself in the womb. This reminded me of what Maggie did with that green ointment.

I like how Marcy uses a lot of science to help or improve spells and positions.

It reminded me of Phoebe in the Godiva episode.

I think that’s the point! To me it’s like an extension of the Charmed universe - it’s all new characters, stories, locations. But at the same time they still have some references and connections - like the ones in my video.

A lot of ppl are highly against the reboot and trust me I'm a HUGE Charmed fan from day one of the original series and never did I think I would actually like the reboot. Takes a while to get used to it with the first few episodes. But it picks up half way through the season and has a decent story plot despite the CGI and props not being too par and the slight changes in abilities and character arcs. I mean season one of the original series was a little questionable too but being as it was made in the 90s we give it abit of leeway. I can honestly say I actually enjoyed it and wouldn't oppose to a new season. I think u just have to give it a chance.

[@buffysummers7276]

They should not have titled this “Charmed” because the cast aren’t appealing or pretty at all. No offense but com’ on the originals looked so good on tv.

[@KevenTalks]

You did a great job with the research :) I watched a few episodes myself of the reboot and it wasn't as bad as I had assumed it would be, BUT it didn't capture my attention like the original series. I think the main difference is that the original Charmed felt a bit more "adult-oriented," a bit darker - whereas the reboot felt more teen-oriented, being a CW show. I think the original reached a larger audience as a result - older audiences could enjoy it while younger audiences wanted in on the more "adult series" too. The reboot is likely to only be enjoyed by the teen / pre-teen audience, in my opinion.

[@kaymaldo]

Thanks! Yeah I think the CW is a bit of a younger audience but it could appeal to OG fans as well or even get younger fans interested in the original show

[@EspPickle]

I really like the original Charmed but the reboot is really good too I liked it

[@malekfountain2754]

Also in the episode when Mel & Maggie switch bodies, they actually mention the movie(s) "Freaky Friday". I can't really remember which says which, but one of them says something along the lines of, "like the Lindsay Lohan movie?" and the other says, "You mean the Jodie Foster movie? The original is so much better than the reboot." which I think is a nod towards how everyone is/was reacting to the Charmed reboot itself.

I have to say...that you did an excellent job as making the comparisons. I did notice a good amount of those. Especially the themes of many episodes. Originally, I wasn't planning to watch the reboot. After watching, I'm almost guaranteed that I won't watch the second season. I'm glad that there is an explanation of why every story line in Season One was resolved. I would like to give my reasons why I won't be watching the next. However, I don't think that this is the place for that. This video is about the references made in the Reboot that are from the original. Once again, you knew the original very well to discover all of those references.. I definitely commend the work you put into this video. I'm guessing that it took a lot of time...

I also hope for Mel to throw her hands out the way Piper when she she froze time. Loved those references btw and nice Charmed research. Do you plan on reviewing more seasons or episode reviews of OG Charmed? Something that was missed in the video when you compare Macy and Paige first coming into their sister's doorstep claim they are their long lost sister you will notice both of them are wearing orange clothing. Prue's spirit also closed the door at the end of the season 7 finale.

I luv that u did this. So maybe now more OC fans will get on board. I admit I too was hesitant to watch. Im a rabbit origanal charmed fan, do I understand people being devoted to it. However Im a man who has to make decisions based on my own research & experience, so i went into Reboot with an open mind. I quickly found myself in luv once again💕 Not only seeing the sisterd im an updated environment but as a black guy seeing women of color take on the mantle of the charmed sisters brought me to another level of delight. I think they have the right balance of OC references & new skool mentality. I saw a comment below & a guy said that maybe they should have used another tittle. Ok well go with that! Just envision ur looking at an entirely new show, or like i told a friend pretend that theres a multiverse & this is a nother demensions version. However you do it, just do it! Cause u may n missing out on wht could potentially n ur old new favorite show.😜 And to the girl that said she would have liked to have seen a descendant version. Im with u, that would b so cool. I think there's room to explore the charmed universe. Im here for it all. So if these exsects are smart they should definitely b lookin into it😉

[@abbytrilights4692]

1. I also feel that both 1st season finale has the changing "alternative through time n space " element. Like tempus reverse time to have the charmed ones dead. And Macy changing time n space to have the assurance no ones is leaving her alone. 2. Iterative names. Like p tradition for the Halliwell. And M tradition for the Veras. But it is not confirm. 3. Also felt that Maggie was the some kind peacemaker between Mel n Macy. As phoebe was with paige n piper. Or piper for prue n phoebe. 4. Dunno why. It may appear weird. I found the two blondes sisters ie Charity n Fiona as Billie n Christie. 5. Someone on youtube comment about Lucy mixes something in parker drink as Aunt Gail do to the charmed ones. 6. Many elders die( seriously) in an event of the charmed comics. Forgotten. Also kind in the season 5 finales Elders was hiding from the titans so elder was some kind hidden from the evil killer ( Hunter) in Ambush. Love the episode. 7. Jenny Gordon "annoying character" in season 2, is also referenced as a former student in Kappa Spirit. A lady who know that spirit named Jana gordonson I think. 8. Maggie imprisoned in water in You are dead to me that Necromancer Episode. Leo imprisoned in water in Sense n sense Ability( one of my favorite).But Maggie come out dry being captived by an innocent witch but Leo drenched being captived by an Evil Crone. 9. Macy be also be some kind of Phoebe for the greater possibility of turning Evil as Wyatt the great Child. You've mentioned that in your weekly review.. Think so. Macy being Half being as Paige. Being a Telekinetic as Prue. Having Evil sight a Psychic power as Prue Astral Projection. Sometimes can be seen as Phoebe Retrocognition n Clairvoyance but can't be premonition. Marisol Prophecy can be seen as Premonition. I think premonition is more instant n prophecy takes time to happen. Lol... Really Appreciate your Review Kristen. Thank you very much. Waiting season 2 of Charmed to see again your interesting review with a neutral yet analytical approach. Thanks.

I think eps 1-4 are surprisingly not bad, and then around 12-16 is incredible. The rest is okay, but even though it’s not perfect I still enjoyed some of the new places they went to as a whole. Episode 15 is the best one imo.

[@markymarx3117]

A lot of it is just called being unoriginal... For a show that pressed so hard to claim it will be a fresh and stand alone take, there's a lot of the same that's just executed poorly. I knew they didn't have what it took from the start when they changed Phoebe's power. Premonitions take planning; reading minds and Maggie's inconsistent empathy ability does not. On top of that, the writers dropped the biggest ball of them all - what it means to be Charmed. They focused more on showcasing powerful, quirky magic and family (supposedly). The Veras' goals of trying to figure out who killed their mom and saving Parker, highly overshadowed the fight for the greater good that made the Charmed ones Charmed. Yea, they had to figure out their wacky powers at the same time (Veras' training?... nonexistent) but they saved and protected innocents on a personal level which solidified the essence of why the Charmed Ones are who they are. The most the Veras do is stop big crowds of people from getting hurt, which, as a viewer, paints no real sense of the trouble and pain being worth it all. There has been no one to connect to except for the sisters and a few minor characters (who are usually much better actors). Billy & Christy thought the original sisters grew selfish after 8 years. They would have hated the Veras from the start. It's not personal gain per say, but it's major neglect of the biggest lesson and a strength the originals sisters gained. A strength I don't think the reboot writers are even capable of creating. The fact that the aspects of the show the writers mentioned they focused on more weren't very apparent in this season, makes it that much more worrisome for season 2.

[@kaymaldo]

I agree with you about them not really saving innocents which was a huge part of the original series. I will say though that going into season 2 they have brand new leadership in the showrunners and a majority of new writers. They’re planning to go in a completely new direction so maybe they’ll fix some of the bigger glaring issues.

[@markymarx3117]

@@kaymaldo Still not too hopeful. The show is choppy in so many ways and so much is rushed through in their attempt to make the first season entertaining and wild. They literally ended the big bad the Charmed Ones were prophesied to defeat before it could be truly evil. If they believe they've successfully checked off what they were attempting to establish in the first season, I have a feeling a lot of those points will be neglected in the second season. They'll be so focused on new, that they'll lose what was "good". They're looking to focus on the magical world which, like in most sequels, results in adding new environments and, in this case, more fascinating magic, but also common in sequels is the major risk of missing the reasons people liked the first one to begin with. I foresee a lot more unnatural feminist plugs being inserted into the script as they take on their leadership roles as well... This is already a reboot so they're not starting off so hot on the quality front, and I don't foresee it lasting much longer lol

[@gerardpinckney9673]

It just dawned on me NOW that the last episode of the reboot when Macy went back in time to see Marisol is kind of is like a call back to S1,E22 finale of the original “Deja Vu All Over Again”. When Macy held Marisol in her arms and Mel was about to attack her Macy blasted both Mel and Maggie away. I’m not sure if she accidentally killed them or not but Maggie was blasted through a door and Mel was blasted against the wall to the stairs. It’s somewhat similar in a sense to the season one finale of the OG Charmed when Detective Rodriguez threw an energy ball at both Phoebe and Piper sending Piper through the window of one of the manor doors and Phoebe into the wall at the stairs.
