The Enduring Sisterhood of Charmed

- The main reason the original Charmed remains so popular to today is its focus on the sisters' relationships with one another. Thought it would be interesting to take a look at the dynamics of the Charmed Ones. If you like the vid, pls give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing!
Piper, Pheobe and Prue have a sister dynamic that screams they grew up together, Paige, Piper and Pheobe however have a dynamic that really portrays what it's like to discover a sibling as an adult and it's why they feel more equal, it annoys me when some fans say that they stopped acting like siblings when Prue died, when infact they just changed the type of sibling bond they had, if you meet your sibling later in life and as an adult you will have a different sibling dynamic than when you have grown up together, also while half-siblings are 100% your true sibling, it will still be different than if you were full-blooded siblings, cause well,, the family of your half-sibling, from the side of whichever parent you don't share, isn't technically your family it leaves different experiences.
i'm not making any sense am i??,,,
That’s interesting, I’ll ask my mum about this bc she grew up with my uncle as a full sibling then met my aunt, a half sibling when I was a baby
@@autumnrose_tv Do that, her answer will be interesting I'm sure ^^
For sure! Because that intense sister bond was still there with Piper and Phoebe. Piper still coddled her in a way.
I agree ☝️
No this made perfect sense. Funnily enough I come from an interesting family where I am the youngest of 7 and have siblings on my mom and dads side who are all my half siblings. I grew up with my siblings on my moms side and rarely get to see my other siblings though that’s probably gonna change now that we’re all adults.
You make complete sense to me. I have a half sister that I’ve never met that I’ve always wanted to. My other half sister met her sisters late in life and they’re close and even though they’re not my sister, they treat me just as such. Bringing Paige in was so powerful for me because I discovered my siblings were all half siblings so I went through a crisis (I was only 11) so it really helped me understand that it doesn’t matter if you’re a half or full sibling, you’re still 100% a sister or brother
I think the writers forgot that the show was about sisterhood, not just fighting demons after Constance M. Burge left. As the youngest of there sisters who was raised by a single mother, the relationship of the sisters was very relatable to me. The characters were very raw, real, and so were their dynamics. That's what carried the show and made it strong, not the supernatural element. Great analysis!!
I can't relate more. I'm actually the youngest sister of 3, raised by a single mother as well!
It really makes me happy to hear Piper speak highly of Paige like that. “Paige saves us She’s the reason why I’m standing here. She brought this family back together.”

....and THIS particular element is what is lacking in the reboot. It became witches who happened to be sisters. The focus of the OG Charmed was sisterhood and later on family. It showed us that the greatest magic the Halliwells had was not in their witchcraft but in their bond as a family. Heck, their strongest spell to vanquish the Source of All Evil is basically summoning their whole Family Tree.
there's a reboot? I love this show so much i'm thinking twice if i'll watch a reboot.
@@carmcam1 well it's a completely different story. The only element from the original is that they are witches. There are 2 seasons as of now.
Agreed
+ i hate how the reboot removed the wiccan aspect. While the OG show wasnt accurate at all to the actual wicca religion it did atleast give representation to a actual religion
The power of the three and the individual powers disappeared when the sisters no longer got along.
You do the best Charmed analysis on the internet! the realistic portrayal of sisterhood was really the backbone of Charmed. Piper was always my favorite character. I haven´t really thought about codependency on Prue but now it makes sense. After Prue died I felt that that is when Piper´s characters character arc really went to another level. It was not something she wanted and she rejected Paige in the beginning but she had no choise.
Piper was also my favorite. I really related to her. I'm the second oldest but I always felt like the oldest because my sister moved out as soon as she was 18. Suddenly 12 year old me took on the eldest sibling role and it was definitely an adjustment.
Nicely done! I really liked the shifting of the sisters dynamic after Prue died, how each sister struggled with their role, and how the power of three became more equal. As much as I loved Prue, I felt sometimes Phoebe and Piper were so in her shadow they weren't going to develop as well while Prue was there.
I liked that the show didn't just shove a new sister in and have the roles incongruously stay the same.
You made a wonderful observation about the sisters being equals in their second incarnation. That was the vibe I got from the trio, especially after Paige stepped up in a huge way, and uncovered Cole's secret identity (season four).
Nicely done!
Now it made sense why Elders said that Charmed needs Paige instead of Prue to fulfil their destiny. I mean Piper and Phoebe too much relied on Prue, while Prue didn't really allow them to learn from mistakes or try now things - she was always the one who profered to do this for them so they couldn't really grow. While with Paige all sisters are equal, are trying to find new solutions and don't just depend on someone else.
strange roles both Prue and Paige had, but essential and universal. Prue HAD to look after her family and shoulder the burden. It really is almost impossible to share that role with the siblings and breathe once in a while. Anyone who grew up with siblings and is the oldest could relate (me.)while w/ Paige, you know... she was an only child and did not grow up with the family. So when she came in the picture, the dynamic change and they all share their burdens. It’s quite interesting
Piper also allowed Paige and Pheobe to move out of the Manor. This is something Prue was against for the sake of the charmed ones. I think that decision was a pivotal moment for Piper as she realizes that her big sister wasn't always as great as she thought she was.
It's easy to say when we never seen it. It was in the early years of them being magical Prue is the eldest. Paige did not grow up with them.
One of the best things about the show was the relationship between the sisters. And while the original had it's faults, it still remains one of my favorite shows.
What I truly love with Piper, Phoebe and Paige is that they never fully adjusted. Yes, they grew to love and respect each other dearly. Paige never fully lost her only child mentality.
And seeing her get used to having two older sisters was great to see.
"Paige saved us, she’s the reason I am still standing here" I'M CRYING
8 beautiful seasons of Charmed taught me so much in life and kept me strong through the turmoil and raging storms...made me who i am...The Halliwells are iconic and power of three truly did set me free...i am #ForeverCharmed
Sohail Samad I agree, this show MADE my childhood
One of the biggest criticisms of Piper’s character is how brash she can be, selfish in pursuit of normalcy, and how she mourns the loss of normalcy too much.
IMO, Piper, to a large extent, was right. Magic took from her constantly- her mother, her parent’s marriage, her sister, her husband, her trust in those she thought she could trust (Gideon, Cole, the Elders, etc), even the magical community turns their back on them in the last season. The sisters all likely had extreme PTSD and adrenal fatigue from living on edge constantly- expecting attacks at any moment. They had to maintain jobs and pay rent all while having two full time jobs. She earned the right to be a bit bitter and angry about it 🤷🏽♀️
It’s too bad the writing altered dramatically post season four.
Their sisterhood didn't change that much from season 4 did it?
@@TCt83067695 not really, but it was a little noticeable that the writing of it got a little sloppy past season 7, there sisterhood stays strong until the end tho
That was because constance m Bruce left after season 4 brad kerns because the showrunner and I really didn't like the way he ran the show seasons 5 through 8 are just little more campy to me plus he had them wear these skimpy outfits in season's 5-7 I really hated that he did that plus the stars of the show complained about it so he stopped doing that in the final season I think that brad did that to get men to watch the show 🤯😠😡🤬😬🥶
Interesting analysis! I never thought about the evolution of the characters this way. I personally always felt Piper became the lead, central character after Prue's death - a) because she experienced the most character development from grief to stepping up as eldest sister and eventually motherhood and b) since she had the most dominant, active power (after Prue). But I get what you're saying in that there really were episodes after Prue's death that were Paige-focused and Phoebe-focused too. There were moments where 1 sister needed to save the other 2, and it always alternated.
Agreed, loved the sisterhood relationship between the 3. I have to say tho, after season 5 sometimes i felt like i was watching another show, i remember a lot of amazing pre s5-6 episodes like "morality bites", "astral monkey" "Murphy's luck" even in s4 "hell hath no fury". I remember hearing Alyssa Milano in an interview saying that charmed was a show about doing goofy stuff cause that's what we liked, "them getting dressed up as all sorts of crazy beings" and honestly, every now an then when i rewatch the series i don't feel like i'm doing it because it is a goofy show and to turn off my brain, to be honest, the first seasons had very powerful meaning in their episodes and i feel like after season 4 that concept was just totally left behind. Oh well, it is the way it is, it's just sad that this amazing show couldn't keep going on other than in the comics, i would love an animated series or something like that.
Pendragon I think that was precisely the problem: the people that were involved in the show tended to not taking it seriously. It had so much potential for being a deeper story, but writters, producers or even the very actors weren’t able to make good use of it.
In my opinion, they didn’t understand their own show once the creator leaved.
I love deeply the show, but I honestly think that. What a pity 😓
Love the analysis because it finally got me to understand why I loved the post Prue parts of the show was because they were equals loved their dynamic then. Piper getting out of her shell was the best thing to happen to the series and Phoebe becoming the caring older sister than the irresponsible baby sister was great at first but I genuinely loved their character shifts. Also the Prue days felt like it focused on prue felt like Prue and her sisters but the post Prue years (even though it has its weak elements) was my favourite
I'm so glad I'm not the only one this obsessed with Charmed, the characters are some of the best written and portrayed I've seen
I absolutely LOVED this version of Charmed. The newer one is so very dark that it overshadows the sisterhood. The newer version is also SUPER preachy, unlike the original which was very understated in their messages. Love, family, faith in yourself were all messages you got without being hit over the head with them.
You made me cry for this analysis, is that normal! But wonderful next year im watching it again. Charmed Ones forever!
Shannon and Holly were also good friends for years before the show. It really helped their on-screen connection and even in press photos Piper is leaning into Prue while there's a small gap between Prue and Phoebe.
This is what I feel like the new charmed show lacks. Sometimes when I watch it, it feels like they’re friends and not sisters like the original. Even though some critique the old show saying it was cliche, but at the same time it made sense and was realistic. The oldest was pushed to be the parent as they understood more, the youngest didn’t have much stability and grew up lost and became reckless, and the middle child was in between them and could relate to both making them the bridge. I grew up with a normal childhood and my siblings and I are similar to them. Especially that rocky relationship between the oldest and the youngest. As the oldest I do sometimes judge my youngest sister for her actions and sometimes I do get jealous that she can ignore everyone and do whatever makes her happy. The relationship the original charmed ones have is amazing. Some say that once Prue was gone the writers just put each sister in the other’s role but that’s not true. Piper did become more courageous, but she wasn’t Prue. Everyone called Prue the superwitch, but Piper was actually the strongest in terms of fire power. They called Prue that, because of her strong personality. Sure there was some rockiness with Paige, but it was because she was a stranger and wasn’t ready to have another sister. You have to remember Paige was supposed to replace Prue in the charmed group, so in a way she was replacing Prue. Piper was still grieving while trying to get to know each other. Phoebe did become more responsible, but she was already doing that before Paige came in. In the beginning of the show she was still young while later matured into an adult. She also didn’t become more responsible because now she was the middle child, she became responsible because there was another life she had to protect, an inexperienced one, so she had to step up. Since Phoebe was a little more social and impulsive, of course she accepted Paige faster than Piper. She had to be the rock of the charmed ones for a while, which meant also trying to be the bridge between her sisters. And Paige obviously was going to be a little more independent than the others since she was an only child. Plus she was still finding herself and dealing, so of course she might make a few mistakes. If you skimmed the show, you might think the writers just chose to keep the cliches birthorder personality, but when you watch it there’s so much more. As you said in the video, the dynamics change from one to the other, which is normal in real life. They changed from one being the leader to all working as a team. That’s what I feel is missing in the new charmed. They do a lot with the magic and the messages, but they don’t focus enough on the bond between the sisters. Even though Maggie and Mel grew up together, they don’t have the love-hate relationship siblings have. They don’t dive deep enough into their relationship. They do keep all the good stuff about being siblings, but they don’t show the drama or the fights or anything like that. That’s probably why I like the Abby in the show. She makes the relationships more complex than just exaggerative sisterly love. Well that’s my opinion at least.
Excellent video. Do you think you could do videos of Piper, Phoebe and Paige like you did for Prue?
When she dosen't answer back 😬
Still waiting for Paige 😭
@@rose-bp3yi same here, i just commented on this video to maybe bring attention to the idea
Piper and Paige's relationship was in ways more closer than Prue and Phoebe had. I think it was that there was absolute trust between Paige and Piper.
Because of Phoebe's recklessness especially with her relationship with Cole, Prue never could trust her completely and that damaged their bond on some level. It was like if they wouldn't be sisters they probably wouldn't want to have anything to do with one another.
Omg this was a great article analysis!!! I very munch love how you explain Charmed and this Tv show as a whole! I really do wish prue could have Stayed in the TV show. Prue will always be my favorite among the sisters! What you said was so true, about phoebe becoming a big sister and more mature and while page took her role as the younger sister. It's really a shame page never met prue! I I feel like the girls were all coming into who they all were naturally and before Prue died, she was becoming her own person with out having to look out for her other sisters and just being more of her self. I do like her character development indeed.
i love this analysis, (early) og charmed had some awesome character arcs for sure!
Would have loved to seen how Prue would have been with Paige. I think they would have got along really well!
Out of all of the four sisters, I started off as Phoebe, being carefree and reckless. In high school, I was a shrinking violet like Piper with her protective and compassionate nature. Now I am currently what my inner circle describe me as "a social butterfly" and determined like Prue, whilst still maintaining the same zest, charisma and resourcefulness as Paige.
I love both dynamic ! Piper is a better older, i loved the fact that with Paige, they are all equals.
One of my favorite relationship is between Piper and Paige, because Piper was so close of Prue before.
I still wish we had the chance to had a meeting between Prue and Paige !
Just say different not better , prue had to raise a sacrifice some of her life to make sure her sisters where ok
Okay, so fantastic video. I was having a discussion with my sister, about the differences between Prue and Piper, as the eldest sister. Both were leaders, but with Prue, the word that comes to mind is “General.” With Piper, the word that comes to mind is “Matriarch.” Prue was technically the matriarch, but I can never seem to place that word with her while it comes as second nature with Piper.
Agree with you. It's so natural to think of Piper as the Matriarch of the Family. At least, with Piper, after all her trials and the way she stepped up into the Role. With Prue, is more (for me) like...she's the lider. Maybe as protective and caring, but more laser focused.
I adore sister stories and it's really the reason I keep coming back in the series! It was and will always be my favorite series! I love that someone at last mentioned what I felt about it and I prefer the first trio of course! Thank you for this video! I have never made such a comment on youtube before!
Idc what anyone has to say about Paige. Paige really saved the family after Prue’s death. The reason Piper still fought. Which, for whoever was in her position if she wasn’t there would do the same. Miracles happen
The series season 1 2 3 focus and shows the sisterhood between them and how dificult is to mantein it even with the magic, the series 4-8 shows how bad a relationship can go. That's it, have a good day everyone.
Well said! I love the 2 trio, the first one and the 2nd one and my favorite sister was Piper, i'm introvert like her and like her i lacked confidence but now i'm still introvert but i believe in myself, i'm confident, yes it's a show about sister who happen to be witches but in the reboot, it doesn't work because it's about witches who happen to be sisters
I'm trying my best to don't give up on charmed 2018, but i think they are taking things that way on purpose, i'm sure they will grow up as sister as the show goes on but there are too many things that i just can't like about it, at least as far as it goes untill now.
@@KaiserKenshi i watched the 2 first ep of the reboot and i didn't like it, too fast, lack of chemistry between sisters and a lots of failing
I think the writing in season 5 and season 6 didn't allow this sisterly bond to surface that much all of the time, so it looked more like they are just friends, but it strongly resurfaced at the end of season 6 (after Chris' role turned into being Wyatts little brother since Holly was pregnant for real this time) after it was slightly buried in season 5. It resurfaced in season 5 occasionally, but not as strong as in season 1-4 and 7-8.
I just discovered your videos and binge watched all the charmed ones. Keep up with the good work!!
I watched all your analyzes about the Charmed once’s and let me just say that you are amazing! Great voice to listen to and on point. Thank you 🙏🏻
i agree!!! i loved that it was about sisters who go through many things together but can conquer anything because they had each other!!
One of my biggest gripes with the reboot was it's failure to take advantage of the idea of having all four sisters present in the narrative at once I thought it would have been really interesting to see a Prue-type character and a Paige-type character interact and find their places within a sibling relationship. Honestly I had sort of hoped that that would be the main difference between the original and the reboot.
They could have had the charmed ones have grown up knowing what they were The power of three and then find out they have a half sibling who does have some power and can help them access the power free but only with two of her sibling never with all three. So we end up with the sort of mix and match dynamic that necessitates one of the sisters being left out at all times but at the same time all four are siblings. I thought it could have been really cool.
THIS SHOW WAS SO GOD DAMN GOOD. I miss the original trio, it just felt so real, so confortable, like they literally had knowm esch other for life and lived tocether forever, then when Paige came in the picture it felt a little bit off all the time, for various obvious reason, and it worked. Still, there's no better trio of sisters than the original imo. The whole 8 seasons are my favourite show ever
Period. And that's exactly what everyone should know, or everyone who has watched charmed correctly. And that's why I love it. I hardly know of a series where the storyline is interesting, meaningful and unpredictable, where the actors breathe life into their characters and how much attention is paid to the little things. Of course the series is not 100% perfect. But she's getting very close...(if you think about it)
Great analysis !
Despite all the faults it does have it's stuff like this that does remind me of why I liked the first 4 Seasons. However I do feel the sisterhood element of the show lost it's theme after Season 4, as there were hardly moments that emphasized or showcased that dynamic and all the sisters seemed to do their own thing. It also felt like they became three roommates rather than 3 sisters. Still I loved this element earlier on in the series. When Prue and Phoebe argue or showcase any sort of distain you felt it's how siblings would fight or disapprove. I also preferred Piper's meeker, neurotic and sarcastic side of earlier seasons as well. Great video.
I would disagree with that whole comment. its natural for sisters and brothers to want to strike out on their own. If they have been leaving together for so long. But that my opinion.
@@walterwhite9957 That's not my point. What I mean is that after season 4 the girls hardly felt like sisters and felt more like roommates. Not to mention how divided each of them became. Piper and Phoebe became too self focused and let their priorities dictate their judgement while Paige focused on the craft and was more independent. Sisterhood moments were more rare and since everything became so divided so did the sisterhood.
And yes in seasons 7 and 8 late seasons, they treat each other as equal by sharing responsabilities because they grew with maturity, maturity also about being witches, they became both witches expert with maturity
Equally wishing to selfishly refuse to help people lol
@@KalinTheZola I don’t think it’s selfish that they refused tk help people. They sacrificed so much, lost a sister in the process, and damn near their children too. After all that, it makes sense they’d want a semblance of normalcy. Self sacrifice isn’t beneficial
@@bryanna_renaee I think it comes across as selfish to me because of the writing. They talk about how much they sacrifice but outside of Pru dying (something they only occasionally show to care about afterwards depending on if the writers care that day) they eventually just get to a point in the story where they complain about all they're doing but stop showing them actually doing it. Thus it gives the impression that they're just whining. I think it's something other writers might have been able to adjust, but that's partly the nature of the beast for tv shows. It's rarely all planned out from start to finish, which can create some fantasic storytelling like Breaking Bad, but if the writers aren't careful and write themselves into too many corners or stop caring about the character progression, things can start to feel stilted and fall flat.
I would say early on, even after Pru dying, the girls didn't feel that selfish to me. Towards the end of the series though, the writing just leads me to feel that way.
This is a very well explained analysis on the sibling relationship bonds. Thank you.
Ugh I just found your channel and I just KNOW you’re going to be big! reminds me a lot of the channel The Take!! Looks like the UA-cam algorithm is finally taking notice!
I love Charmed, have every episode on DVD and everything. And I think part of that stems from the sisterly relationship the four sisters share, particularly since I have three sisters myself with me being the third sister of us four girls and counting my brother the fourth born overall. The five of us are quite close even if my little sister is still growing up. Knowing how strong the bond between siblings is really cements how close the sisters are for me. Strangely despite having been the baby for seven years before my sister was born, I always felt like I related to Piper more. Like her I'm introverted and want stability.
Super merci. Meilleure série de tout les temps ❤
Through the three seasons you can see how extremely close Prue and Piper were to eachother. I mean Holly and Shannon were actually best friends in real life since forever. Till the end they even almost died together at the end of season 3. I mean they died on the same day but you know time reversal thing We all saw that Piper was Devastated especially when she was a Fury when she really broke down I’m not gonna lie I still cry every-time I see. Like I said if Prue didn’t interfered and push the doctor away from Shax, she would have possibly still be alive cause Shax was going after the doctor first then the charmed ones. I didn’t like the doctor anyway he was too cocky and arrogant when he put that dumbass Tupae (Correct me with the spelling of Tupae anybody I don’t know how to spell it) on just blabbering about them after being exposed like Prue said about Dr Williamson maybe he’s the innocent that they were not suppose to save. Though I didn’t want him to die but he could at least kept something a secret. And can someone tell me how Tempest after two years was still injured? Did Prue literally hurt him that bad to end the time loop? Anyway I love the Piper and Prue chemistry especially when they went back to the 70s and when little Prue and Piper were fighting over a doll and as grown ups they were fighting about the doll years later it was adorable
Sad Fact: Prue died three times and the third time was the charm 😢
Other fact: the character who portrayed Shax also portrayed multiple demons such as Belthazor aka Cole Turner
The correct spelling is toupee
What a nice summary! Thank you for doing this. Of course I cried like a baby again!
This is one of the best tv shows I've seen about sisters! And one of the best Tv shows about witches!
So what do you think the sister relationship would be if Prue never died??
I think they were destinied to become equals anyway. I wish we could see that happening in a progress with Prue, it would be more intersting and would have a greater character development for all of them. By introducing a new character it's only normal and usual to develop a different relationship: different person, different roles, and it happened more drastically!
I mean the dynamics did change after Prue died Very much so the show went from it being about sisters who are witches to witches who happen to be sisters it definitely understands why they would change because they didn't grown up with Paige like they did with Prue but to be honest with you I like the Dynamic better with the original 3 because it's more sisterly and the storylines in 1-3 are better as well I mean season 4 had good storylines too I didn't like the Dynamic that the show took in season 5 and 6 because they didn't deal with like demons and warlocks it told more fairytale stuff make believe stuff Dat I' just didn't like season 7 definitely was good because it reverted back to the way things were like in season 1 a inspector chasing after them being in there business even though agent Brody got on my nerves cuz they tried to make him be like Andy and he wasn't but the avatar stuff did too but Season 7 brought Piper and Paige closer liker her Relationship was with Prue they started being around each other more rather than being closed off and in season 8 as well because Phoebe got Closer to Billie like a Sister too
Being the only child in the world doing whatever the fuck you want and have a big sister telling you what to do it's nice to have sisters but it does not feel good when you got a sister who is bossing you around and treats you like you like a child.
That’s right what you said about all Sister are different but they loves each other this is the reason why I starting to watch Charmed my best friend let be watch her dvds so I could other new season the other reason is bc of Pure she was one of my favorite actress when she was in Beverly Hills 90210 and now Charmed Bc it’s about sisters I think Awesome to have sisters. I never had a sister I have two older brothers that I love a and I treat my best friends like sisters even my sister in laws my co workers and also all of my friends as coaches and everybody all females cops that I met threw Special Oympics
Your videos are great, will you do a character development video on Paige like you did on other girls?
Thank you! And yes, a Paige-centered video is on the way.
Piper remind me an ep of kitchen nightmares' french version in which a boss and chef of a restaurant behave like a child and her daughter who works with her give her orders and acts as the boss and the mother acts as the child because she lost her sister, she was overprotected by her sister and did jobs in which she followed orders so when she lost her sister, she was sad and didn't know what to do with lack of confidence, she was like a lost child, so her daughter give her orders but then, her mother won confidence to take her responsabilities as chef and boss of a restaurant and reacts like an adult and no more as a child
Personally, I found and find the dynamic of the sisters following Prue's death far more representative of real life.
I think that Shannen Doherty was very headstrong in wanting to be the lead actress, the strongest and it came across in the show.
I think that all 3 actresses in Seasons 4-8 were happy to be seen as equal in their characters and didn't want to come across as if any one of them was more dominant than the other and to be honest that's very important because most siblings don't have that kind of relationship with each other, like it was made out in seasons 1-3 and I think that if they did, with Prue being the way she was towards her sisters with a pretty small age gap of 3-5 years... that the other two would not be close to her at all as I personally wouldn't stand for nonsense like that from an "elder" sister of a few years... 10 years plus yeah but not 3-5 years... she's not that much older that she had to take on huge responsibilities - I think that's what people forget. Her sisters were not babies, they were grown adults.
I have four sisters. The three older ones have an identical relationship as Prue, Piper and Phoebe. They're each four years apart. They're relationship is very spot on with how siblings (especially girls) develop units and operate within throughout life. Being closer in age actually fosters the dependency more than a larger gap because they grew with firm hierarchy their entire lives. My sisters are in their 40's and late 30's now and they still have the same dynamic though they have their own families. My younger sister and I kind of function as Paige to some degree.
Being a middle child I always had an affection for Piper
But before i lacked of confidence so i understand Piper, Phoebe and Prue have strong personnality and Piper was protected by Prue, before i lacked of confidence because i was overprotected by my parents and i was alone until my 3 years so before i was shy with other child
Prue Phoebe Piper they were the closest siblings they were like best friends but when Paige came on they were close but they were not as close
this fuckin' slaps I love the original series
Hi Rachel. Loved your videos on the characterization of the charmed one. I know it's been awhile since you did them, but I would love to see your description on the characterization of Paige.
I love this it was spot on correct
Piper is to Paige, what prue was to pheobe
This video is my everything.
We love charmed because it’s focused on awesome characters…Not politics
I love your work, keep going pleaaase!
I really loved this analysis of my favorite witches of all time.
After watching this in full I can relate to the character of Phoebe, one being the youngest sibling and two always being on the outside looking in on the close relationship and sibling bond that my own two older sisters have especially since I'm the only male of three siblings.
charmed is so amazing
I always loved how the sisters had unusual P names. It wasn't some more common name like Paula or Pamela...I had never heard of a Piper or Prudence before the show. Or Paige! Even Phoebe is pretty rare.
Absolutely true
Very great and detailed analysis!
I feel like the show went down hill after prue died piper and Pheobe turned into selfish and ignorant people why Paige would always focas on helping and saving innocents and the others sisters nagg her for doing her job. Then eventually Paige turns selfish as well throughout season 6 - 8. My problem they take being witches and saving innocent as a burden they don't wanna save innocent they wanna ignore them. Pheobe and piper always got more screen time and more storyline leaving Paige to take the back seat.
I love the original series but only the first four seasons that's because of Brad kerns he became the showrunner after constance m Bruge left and he was awful at the job just like Andrew dabb was for supernatural 💙💙💖💝🤔
Favorite show Piper is Holly Combs love her
In my family, i'm the big sister but i have just a younger brother, i don't have sisters and i would like to have also sisters like charmed ones, with my brother it was a cold relationship with quarrel and fight and i'm a mix of Piper and Paige, i'm introvert and independent
Excellent vidéo. When are you doing Paige ??
I love there sibling dienamic
Will you ever do a video on Piper? All of these analysis are amazing!!!
Thank you! I'm currently in the middle of editing a Piper video, which will be posted some time this week.
@@racheldoesfandom omg yay!!!
Sad that as the time went on .. last few seasons .. focused more on demons.. and less on sisters.. :(
Prue character represents the Great Mother God, so yes she really is the authority, the parent, who incarnated as a sister. Prue character is the superior whether the fans like it or not. The sisters were really Prue's children and Piper knew that deep down.
Two shows that had me wishing their family dinamics were charmed (the sisterhood bond) and gilmore girls (the mom and daugther/friends)
Well done
excellent. do one for the new show
I do feel the show changed when prue died and page come in because I feel like the show stop being about helping innocence and it became mostly about stopping and fighting demons way more!
4:00 Piper and tell Phoebe. do you believe in destiny? Both LoL 😂
Wrong!! Accordign to the charmed prohpechey the eldest sister is the most powerful! Prue was the most pwoerful and when she died that transferred to piper! So piper was the most powerful of the three for sure not only cause of her power but also her general knowledge about potion making and witchcraft in general! Remember she made paige study and take a witchcraft test!
My favorite show, after mash
Awesome!
I wish me and my sisters were that close.
I think the show had a lot of potential, but it really lost its way post season 3 or 4.
This video pinpoints why the original series tramples over the newer version. The sisters I feel were more relatable, their sisterhood seems more real then the newer show.
I Love This
Nice! Thank you)
I Love Charmed
Wonderful:)
why are you whispering
Shame they went a bit strange in the last season lol
