So I hear the CW gave the green light to the Charmed reboot and Hope and Alaric twins are getting some spin off as well. And I’m just sitting here thinking why the Bennetts and Gemini couldn’t get a spinoff on netflix? That would’ve actually been new and exciting instead of a Charmed reboot and the Harry Potter rip off.
That’s the thing, technically the last remaining Gemini’s are there, it’s the Bennetts who are very intentionally left out and I’m pretty sure that’s not just because Kat won’t come back. Plec has spent a lot of time on TO and even TVD trying to erase the power of the Bennetts, by conveniently adding white witches who:
- Are more powerful than Bonnie
- Have more knowhow than Bonnie
- Have more agency than any Bennett witch
- Who get the credit for spells stolen from Bennett witches
Like slowly and slowly not only were Bennett witches edged out of the series, but so were black ones in general and when they are in the series they’re always seen a beneath the white witches.
But damn I keep wishing that campaign for “Coven” gets picked up but I know that would be bella expensive to by from not only the CW, but also HarperCollins.
