  • Within the narrative of the series and the dynamic of the sisters, Piper is the heart of the Halliwells. Phoebe Halliwell, however, is the heart of the entire series. She is easily the most liked and relatable of the sisters and many fans find her easy to identify with and relate to, and those who don’t still find her to be an appealing personality.

    Phoebe and Wyatt are so alike. Like they both were born in the Manor, over the Nexus, they both had the possibility to turn either way, like you said. And then on top of that, Phoebe and her attachment to Wyatt as a baby. This right here is genius.

    When you think about Phoebe never really getting over the loss of her baby with Cole, it also makes a little more sense why she would end up so obsessed with conceiving her premonition baby, too. By that point in the show it was established that Phoebe's premonitions were real to her. She actually projected into the future and experienced it. So, for her, not conceiving that baby probably felt like loosing another child. And it made sense that Phoebe was not ready to deal with that.

    • @regina_george340

    • @judigemini178
      @judigemini178 Před rokem +6

      I really don't blame the writing at all in this regard. Charmed to me has always been a show that goes over a lot of people's heads especially for the people who aren't as emotionally mature. When you're young (like I was when the show started) you tend to focus on the glamorous & more apparent easily compelling concepts, but as you grow older (hopefully wiser) you start seeing MANY profound things you didnt/couldn't have been able to catch onto before.
      I'd say that the subtlety of charmed shines through as a strength in a way that the reboot failed, and is a key reason for the success of the former. Like for example I used to think the cole+phoebe story was poorly done and that they shouldve been endgame, then looked at it from the point of view of Cole as a drug addict, who yes was truly in love, but his 'evil' as the substitute for a drug addiction. I then realized what a mature storyline it actually was because yeah, sadly sometimes love isn't enough.
      The only people who hate phoebe for her baby obsession (in other words her miscarriage trauma) are most likely the same people who complain that "phoebe changed" and seem to have an aversion to a character's growth & evolution on the character's own terms. Give it time, one day they'll catch up, maybe. Or not.

  • @BetterWithBob
    @BetterWithBob Před rokem +10

    I personally think that Seasons 7 and 8 show her reconnecting with her old self, and bringing her close to how she'd been in the earlier seasons. She takes a sabbatical from her column when she realises she's just been phoning it in because she doesn't like it being just a job - she wants to help as many people as possible. In 'Styx Feet Under', she chooses to face the fact that she might die because she won't let an innocent be hurt instead of her, and earns her premonitions back because of it. She's also the one who has to understand that Utopia is robbing people of their emotions and ability to grieve, and gives up the good future she saw in her premonition because of it. And in the eighth season, she's the one who acts as a guide and mentor to Billie, who out of all the sisters resembles her the most. She ends the series feeling like her old self, just with more maturity.

    I'm glad I watched this whole video through. Tbh, it changed my whole perspective on Phoebe and I developed a new respect for her since I relate to the abuse and trauma she's gone through that you pointed out. I never noticed but people don't understand that when you come out of an abusive relationship, you're a new person. And Cole was extremely toxic and abusive in a lot of ways. The fact she still kept her core traits as you pointed out while trying to find the new her after a relationship like that, is admirable and something I can relate to so hard.

  • @-scorpiosubliminals8102
    @-scorpiosubliminals8102 Před 3 lety +62

    I agree with all of this. The fact that she went through so much for 8 years is sad. She lost the love of her life Cole, her unborn son which is a mother's biggest fear is losing their child, she became the queen of the Underworld, and through a lot of trauma like losing her sister Prue. It just sucks that Phoebe haters don't understand what she's been through her entire life. I agree that she did become a little selfish in later seasons unlike the first 3 seasons, but people really have to understand what it would be like losing the love of your life and your child which is traumatizing and the baby was unborn as well. I bet Phoebe haters would understand if they were in her shoes for 8 whole years. I'm glad she turned from her selfish ways after Season 8 atleast.

      Don't forget how she was always deemed a screw up her whole life and the 'failure' of her family. Even the demons mocked her powers since they were passive & as I recall once described her & her powers as "negligible". She was always seen as the worthless useless aimless one and was CONSTANTLY trying to prove herself throughout the entire show. And finally she manages to gain some success in her career and the haters hate on that too. Phoebe is low-key an underdog for anyone who was paying attention.

    Piper was my favorite character and being a middle child myself, definitely related to her. But you are on point that it was Phoebe at the heart of the show. You are correct on the change of Phoebe during the later seasons. That was one of the reasons why I stopped watching towards seasons 7 thru 8 among others. But I think the transition had to happen because she did become the middle child with the arrival of Paige. Hope you can do a Piper and a Paige video as well... 😁

    I love all your analyses. I discovered 'Charmed' during season 6 (The 3 blondes episode) at age 8/9 and was hooked since. Phoebe was easily my favourite. A few years ago I decided to rewatch the show, watching it from season 1 for the first time. At the time I still really loved it, probably due to the nostalgia goggles and because of that same nostalgia, I decided to watch it again late last year. This time though was different. I found that I enjoyed the early seasons way more that the last and struggled to watch the last 2 seasons - I eventually gave up during season 8. It was so weird to me because I remember just loving the show when I was younger and I also really enjoyed those first few seasons during my current rewatch.
    I think the problem was that the change in characters was so jarring after Prue died. I still enjoyed season 4 and most of season 5 but the characters of Phoebe and Leo just became more and more unlike themselves. From the moment Cole was introduced I wasn't a fan of how Phoebe became characterized and after he left it just felt like the writers forgot the essence of who she was. I still really enjoyed your perspective though, especially the Wyatt part because I never connected that dot and through that lens, that arc becomes less cringe.I hope you do a Piper video at some point too and keep up the great work,

      But Rachael explains the reasons for that being that she has the potential to become either good or evil because of where she was born; this also connects to Wyatt who has that potential for the same reasons. Phoebe's tendency to be swept along by her emotions makes sense for her to switch allegiances since she is battling with an inner conflict of who she loves more; her sisters or the love of her life. It's a very relatable and realistic personality trait that we see in many people.

Sometimes I felt she became a cartoon version of herself or a running gag to see what costume was Alyssa Milano going to be dressed as that week...

I feel like there is an obvious break between all of the sister's personalities from season 5 to season 6. They completely changed overnight. This is not me hating on the show.

    Great character analysis! I also have a thought about Phoebe being the heart of Charmed - would it have been that way if Alyssa Milano hadn't played her? We know she wasn't originally cast as Phoebe and after watching the pilot that never aired with Lori Rom, I remember thinking wow how lucky they were to get her! There is a reason some actresses become famous over others....
    Alyssa Milano is effortlessly charismatic, her smile lights up the room and the camera loves her - she also was able to nail comedy so made a nice contrast to Holly and Shannen who are naturally more dramatic actresses. It's interesting because I remember Brad Kern saying Phoebe was meant to be the 'joie de vivre' character and Alyssa seems to just embody that, - which makes me think how on earth an actress like dull-as-dishwater Lori Rom got cast as Phoebe in the first place? When you compare those two pilots, Alyssa makes almost every line funny, sassy or fun - Lori reads them so straight and deadpan. Two actresses, same character, same lines - completely different viewing experience.
    There may even be a video in how important casting the right actors are in a show? Do writing and story idea go so far, if you don't have the correct actor for the part? Would the show have appealed to as many people if it wasn't for what Alyssa brought to the Phoebe character?

    People always say phoebe powers are useless but it’s actually useful. No one knows how it feels for her to not only watch her sisters in pain but to feel their pain and to feel the whole world pain. Also phoebe may not have active powers but she can beat people with her mind and phoebe doesn’t go in all guns blazing like prue. Even the angel of death told prue she’s not invincible. Also the episode sin San Francisco piper and phoebe and Leo all had a sin the demon gave them but the demon said prue didn’t get a sin because she already had one pride. Also even the seer said in phoebe future phoebe would be powerful. Also having premonitions is good because she’s fighting a demon she will know when the demon will attack so phoebe can counter attack.

    Multiple producers have spoken up about the toxic and sexist environment in the Charmed writing room and set. Brad Kern, who has faced allegations of misconduct and sexual harassment from multiple women, removed Constance Burge from her own creation. He intended to eliminate Shannen and Constance, and he succeeded. Brad steered Charmed in a different direction, disregarding Constance's desires. Additionally, he mocked Alyssa when she gained weight due to an illness. He and his associates consistently dressed Alyssa and Rose in revealing outfits and attempted to pressure Holly into wearing a push-up bra.
    Brad didn't respect Constance's vision for the characters.

    "We are the protectors of the innocence" 3 years later "I can't deal with this world destruction threat bcs I have to go to work" it's fascinating how much a character can degrade over time and become the polar opposite of what they used to be. It's even more hilarious when she somehow managed to make becoming an empath - the one power solely meant to connect with other people problems - all about herself.

Her demon boyfriend was POSSESSED by the Source when he tried to save their lives in season 4, he didn't choose to become evil, she did instead under no magical influence (don't the evil fetus excuse because in the next episode she's going back and forth about trying it both ways by remaining Queen of the underworld and a Charmed one while everyone overstates it was HER DECISION to stand by Cole) and then blamed him for every single thing in her life until she vanquished him. Prue also died partly because Phoebe had the genius idea to abandon her sisters during a dangerous demon hunt and go to the underworld to save her boyfriend. "Phoebe, where are you?" are Prue's final words btw. Who wants to watch a show about heroes not wanting to be heroes ?

    who else has their own fanfiction with the daughter of Phoebe and Cole coming of age and claiming her rightful place in the world, torn between good and evil and the only people ever believing in her being Piper and Chris???
    Her name is Margarita (Mar for short and nothing to do with the new reboot and a nod to my Spanish craze and the name of another iconic character) she was found as a child abandoned on the streets and was taken to the magical school where noone had a clue of her identity and was raised as an orphan surrounded by kids with families and the legend and legacy of the charmed ones hanging over her head and creating an ideal standard that everyone had to live up to. she was later frowned upon when her fire powers bagan to manifest as they are still considered as evil ones. still noone can figure out who she is and everyday she gets closer and closer to chris as they both have to live up to an ideal both have nothing to do with (Chris is only valued for what his future self had done and not for what he is growing up and Mar wanting to prove she is worthy of love and a place in the magical world). When she finds out who she is everyone brings her down, attacks her, even bullies her (her younger half sisters especially as the older PJ thinks she came to steal everything that is rightfully theirs and especially PJ thinks she will lose the op of the first born). chris is the only one by her side but when she full on goes dark even he is uncertain of her intentions. Phoebe doesn''t want to accept her, despite the evidence that is her daughter and the fact that with time she develops telekinisis and premonitions along with her demonic powers. and that makes it equally powerful as Wyatt. And for everyone to be nicely wrapped all the adult kids (being Mar, Wyatt and Chris) have to do something as the life force of Mar gives the juice nessecary for Cole to come back and they form their own Power of 3 to defeat him. which of course causes more friction with Phoebe's daughters and Melinda that feel they are robbed of her destiny due to a girl that hasn't decided whether she is good or evil

    It's so interesting how certain things in the show were done so brilliantly, like the nuances of its mythology & evolution - for example, Phoebe the empath with "passive" abilities always being the heart of the show, Piper evolving as the dominant sister/witch after Prue's death, etc - and then other things were done so poorly, particularly after Season 4, the silly, campy storylines and lack of continuity. It seems like after Season 4, a lot of the production and themes just got lazy.

It was season 4 episode 3 and the first character in screen was Paige so I immediately loved her. Then I’d probably say Piper. I never really disliked her at any given point in the show and that helped because I kinda got turned off from Phoebe. Piper was the most bad ass in my opinion. Then I’d say Prue, I didn’t want to watch the first three seasons because Rose wasn’t in them but when I did, I’m sad that the whole show wasn’t as dark like the first three seasons. Prue was probably my favorite during the first three but when she died piper moved up. Then it’s phoebe, man I loved her in the first seasons then after awhile it seemed like she lost her steam.
