The Alyssa vs Shannon thing really sucked because honestly I think Prue and Phoebes relationship was the most impactful and honestly the most realistic sibling like relationship. I love Prue/Piper and Piper/Phoebe, but watching Prue and Phoebes relationships grow and change both characters for the better was really great to watch. The show almost got there again with the development of Piper and Paige’s relationship but it never quite got there for me.
@Ask Scott I agree. She felt out of the loop not to mention the whole story changed basically ro explain why Paige exists. I wish they have gotten over their issues 😕 how different it could have been.
I get that Shannon and Alyssa didn't like each other or whatever it was but still whoever decided that Prue needed To go and NOT PHEOBE was insane! So insane! Prue is gold! Phoebe ended up having babies with cupid! Literally cupid, how anticlimactic is that?! I would be far more interested in the one Prue decided to love and have children with ... honestly
@@lindleloverwatterson3484 I’ve heard that Holly has went on record saying that production stepped in during the bad period and basically forced Alyssa and Shannon into a sit down. She said that in her opinion that this was the final nail in the coffin and was basically adding fuel to the fire. I can’t help but think that maybe the break between season three and four could have let the situation die down and let the actresses catch their breaths and even maybe have sorted the situation themselves. I will admit that I am a lover of phoebe Halliwell, she was my fave sister honestly, but the Phoebe we ended up with in season 8 was a far cry from the character when she was at her best (the first three years). Also rewatching it now as an adult and I just cringe at how massive her characters nosedive is 😬
@@Whatshisface92 from videos I've seen of Alyssa Milano she did eventually take some responsibility for what happened between her and Shannon. She cited 'competitiveness' between them and wished that she'd been more collaborative. Own thoughts now but if they'd have been like that from the start I wonder if Shannon would've stuck around a season or two longer
Prues character development was one of the best I’ve seen in any series . Especially for just 3 seasons. Season 3 will always and forever be the best season of charmed. And the biggest reason was bc of pure. She was the drive that kept the other two going and she carried them and ultimately gave them the tools they’d need to take over when she died. She’s like the true matriarch of the show. No offense to grams. Lol
I love that the change in her character is shown with her costumes. She starts off dressing like a responsible adult, which represents her loss of childhood, but eventually allows brighter colours and looser clothes into her wardrobe, reclaiming her youth. It really shows how she's finally accepting her real self and is comfortable with her witch nature.
Shannon’s character as Prue was one of the best that ever did it I thought she was so amazing at what she did when it came to this show in particular 🌹❤️🥰❤️
Prue is quite honestly one of the best written characters on tv in that era. Shannen Doherty absolutely nailed it and I really hope that one day they do get a reboot, even just a short one.
I recently re-watched all 8 seasons of Charmed and found myself relating most with Prue. I'm the eldest child in my family and I also have that maternal drive that Prue had in season 1 and even though my mom is alive and well, I still looked after my siblings a lot, and sometimes it's hard to accept that they're all growing and soon won't need me anymore. And watching Prue's death now as an adult was really hard. Especially since in the earlier episodes she spoke of wanting a family and seeing her robbed of that just breaks my heart. It's a shame that Shannon Doherty never reappeared in the show, it would've been nice to see the sister's reunite, especially with Piper as she was most affected by Prue's passing and her becoming the oldest sister. And Paige meeting Prue would've been a great moment. Such a long comment but anyway, thank you for making this video about Prue! Will you be making videos about the other sisters as well?
Also even her hair evolution was symbolic of her character. From that ultra structured short do in season one, to the progressively longer hair in season two and finally the very long and more mane-like hair in season three signifying her letting herself go. It was one of the best arcs for a character in such a short amount of time. It even made her cliffhanger death make sense upon repeated views though at the time I thought it was stupid how they just discarded her character. Now I wonder what they could have even done to progress her story outside of creating her own family. It would feel as forced as most of Phoebe's relationships after Cole. Her character had the best run because she didn't live long enough to have her character become a scumbag like they did to Phoebe and Piper.
jaymesEo6 I think they ruined Grams and Pheobe's character after Prue's death, but I actually liked Piper's character development. To me, Piper's arc was the only thing I liked about the later seasons, since she was such a weak character compared to her sisters in the early seasons.
@@briannalee1998 I think she had a fantastic arc the 4th season. Her coming to terms being hoisted to the lead and the oldest sister, the feeling of not measuring up to Prue and forever living in her shadow to being the most powerful Charmed one of the reconstituted Po3. I think it went off the rails when Holly and Alyssa became producers. Their characters after weren't allowed to be wrong or be challenged or it was everyone elses fault and they had a free get out of vanquish free card because they were perfect and they "had given so much already" and everyone else is clearly evil, even when clearly not and being controlled by evil "thanks Cole-bama).
I think it was a serious disservice to the series that Prue was killed off. I also think the way her character died was too vague. They didn’t even explain in detail how she died, just showing her getting slammed through a wall. I mean the sisters have all died in much more interesting ways throughout the show, so that death scene was really underwhelming when you think about how powerful Prue initially was at that point. I also think it was really bad that she never came back as a ghost. The network should have tried to compromise with Shannon to at least let her come back one time in officially meet Paige and give phoebe and piper more closure. Honestly, if Phoebe had died I think it would’ve been a bit better. Piper definitely couldn’t have stayed dead, cause she’s really almost the heart of the show and I don’t think Leo’s character wouldn’t have much reason to stick around at that point. I also think it’s just really sad Prue never got to have her own identity outside of family obligations and ultimately died young just like her mom. I think that’s why Gram’s said she was having a hard time adjusting to being dead, because she really did fear she’d end up like her mother. I think this was also why piper was so hurt, because she saw how screwed up it was that Prue never really got a chance to live her own life. Ultimately I think Prue being the rock for all of them in the first 3 seasons did give the other two characters the strength and intelligence to move on without her. It’s also good they gave piper a more lethal power because Paige being the youngest and strongest doesn’t make much sense. She was too new and insecure of not being able to match up to Prue to take the lead.
Great points but I disagree with you about the hypothetic deaths of the other sister. Even though I hated that Shannon left the show, I thought her character's death was the most useful to the character development of the other sisters. Because Piper evolved from the weakest to the strongest sister and phoebe had to become a peace maker. A role she never thought she'd play. Also Rose mcGowan's introduction was set up well in season 2. But going back to Prue. Her death made sense in her arc of being too fearless, too daring and bit reckless. All the things Prue was. She risked her life all the time and ran toward danger. I think the fact that it led to her demise was very poetic.
I think Shannen’s future was up in the air and when the decision was made they couldn’t show her likeness so they told the story as best they could. They could have compromised in bringing her back, but they could have re-casted Prue for ghost scenes. I always thought Lisa Edelstein or even Charisma Carpenter could play Prue. But they used Charisma to play Kira in season 7.
@@lungafilmz3214 , Piper was never the weakest. And Piper could be strong with Prue. In fact, Prue made the Power of Three seem stronger. They were weaker with Paige.
i started watching charmed a few months ago & Prue became my favorite right away she was such a complex & well developed character & had so much to give they could've done such great story lines with her character, i hated that she was only there for 3 seasons in which in my opinion were the best
Shannen Doherty is a power house of an actress! So relatable and real. When she left it was a hole that just could not be filled. And I love the other actresses . Prue was just super special in every aspect and Shannen brought her too life perfectly 💖💖💖💖💖👍
Prue is undoubtedly my favourite representation of an older sister. The one who remembers the most, has the worst trust issues, etc. In a short time her character did really open up and evolve and it’s so disappointing that she was killed off (esp in such a lame way).
I think every oldest sibling (me included) who lost their childhood over something related to Prue on a very, very personal level. We were robbed of a beautiful character ark.
I don't really respond well to people like her (people are glossing over her flaws). I mean, who tf just straight talks to their sisters like that? They're adults. Wtf? & why did she accuse Phoebe of sleeping w/ that asshole w/out hearing her out? She changed, but her initial introduction wasn't exactly someone to look up to.
@@Monie71793 I mean she probably had her reasons but it wasn't just the Roger thing that strain their relationship it was other things. All the sisters have their own flaws but it seems like people gloss over Piper's not Prue or Phoebes, especially since she is a fan favorite. This video was to show her growth through her time in the show.
@@Monie71793 it doesn't matter if we are are talking about piper or not all of them have their flaws that's what makes them characters. Like I said she had her reasons why her and Phoebe fell out and let's not act like when her sisters like a guy phoebe doesn't try to push up on their guy. So like I said she has her reasons but that's why this video was made to show her characterization and how impactful she is while acknowledging her flaws.
@@Monie71793 , many people talk to their siblings like that. And so what if she accused Phoebe of sleeping with Roger? They got over that and moved on.
It's interesting that you said it was great in season 3 how she became independent of her sisters. I have it in mind that she, along with Piper and Phoebe, were trailing off into their own paths. The thing is, the Charmed Ones are at their strongest when they are together and between Piper's concern in normal life, Phoebe becoming more distant with her romance to Cole, and Prue being more determined to train and combat evil (along with her impulsive attitude in confronting evil), all these things pushed them to be more independent of each other but also more vulnerable. Which I imagine is what lead to Prue's death (overlooking meta events).
@@chrissyroseup69 Wrong, the reason prue would have died as a plot is that prue even siad multipe times that she would die young like her mother and she also saw the angel of death a few epsoiodes before she would die as teh angel says its not your time.......yet. Also the reason that ure dies is cuz she was very reckless and head strong in teh sense that she would sacrifise herself for her innocnents! Prue was looking for trouble and demons later on as she was on a warpath and that made her reckless especially sicne she was so powerful!
@@leanture3685 price the character only died cause shannen didn’t want to do the show anymore if she decided to stay in season 4 it would have been the three halliwell sisters like it always was
Paige sucked. MY sister and I used to wake up two hours befire school just to watch charmed we stopped after the first few episodes of season 4. It wasn't the same without Prue.and Paige didn't make up for her being gone
Prue’s progression was fantastic. But, the most impressive was Piper. A sister who never lived without a big sister….taking over and caring for the entire family through two pregnancies. It is so moving and impressive. Such gifted actors and writers!
This was wonderfully done. Thank you! I really loved the character Prue and greatly appreciate Shannen Doherty for gifting her to us. When the character died, I cried for days and didn’t think I could continue with the show. Yet, Piper really stepped into the oldest sister shoes. I thought that she grew to be even more fierce than Prue. Also, Paige was the perfect fourth sister. Although, Prue always remained my favorite, with Shannen gone, the other characters developed greatly. Still, I’m lukewarm on Phoebe. She had her wonderful moments but the Cole story was a bit much.
Prue was my favorite sister when I watched, but once she died I shifted to liking Paige the most. I hated most of Cole's arcs in the show and I feel like he just made every character he came in contact with worse. I did like his character, but they way they wrote around him became too annoying. I think the show got good again after they killed him off sadly. The whole Christy shenanigans in season 8 is also one of my more hated arcs.
I don't remember why I didn't like her as a kid but now I much prefer her time on the show now. And Prue was the only one who did her damn Wiccan job without crying about it all day. I'd love to see how it would have been with Prue Piper and Paige
Hell no, I mean she was bad ass. Don't get me wrong I love her, but saying she was the best??? Nope. It's definitely Phoebe. Take it from the ultimate charmed fan 😁👍 👍💯
Finally a video about Prue Halliwell one of the best and most underrated female characters of all time! I love her so much. Thank you for making this. Can you do a video of Claire Bennet from Heroes? She is also an extremely underrated character who had great development.
Pure was the best character! The strongest as well! I loved how they made her such a mother figure to them. Even when she died you can tell piper really missed a void in her life with prue gone!
Always have a soft spot for Prue , charmed feels like two different shows even thought the first 5 seasons were great even after Prue cuz season 4 was amazing the dark storyline made it so much better after season 5 it kinda went crazy though season 7 was good and the last 4 episodes of season 8 were great though ..
Yes yes yes!! Please do a character analysis for each of the sisters. Or at least for Piper. She's my favourite and she had such an amazing character arc going from hopeless romantic and peacekeeper to cynic. More than anybody else she embodied different familial roles, going from middle sister to eldest sister and mother and wife and even the only grandma visible on the show. EDIT: The only grandma within the sisters, not counting grams of course.
Prue was one of my favorite characters and I always wanted to see a video done on her. She was real and complex, badass and feminine. The writers showed that she was tough and grew after everything she went through. This was a fantastic analysis on her arc. I like Paige, but I still think she show would've been better if Constance M. Burge continued as the show runner instead of Brett Kurt (he ruined the show and characters especially Phoebe and Grams) and if they kept Prue as a character on the show and continued with the darkness. The first three seasons were ahead of its time. Prue and Phoebe were amazing. Piper's character development ended up being the later seasons redeeming quality. I can't help but wonder if they still would have made Piper a stronger character if she didn't lose Prue. Probably not. If they brought Prue back after season 4 or kept her and still had Piper evolve into a stronger character, the last few seasons would've been amazing. At least they were fun.
Nothing more to say. You said everything & so beautifully as well. She was my favourite character in Charmed. Hope Shannen Doherty triumphs over her cancer battle & generations to come stumble across this original Charmed as well. It's definitely timeless & a gift that keeps on giving
Giving how much she grew and how badass she was in just 3 seasons , it would have been mindblowing that she stayed and see the evolution throughout the seasons
Thank you for this...though I love magic and the craft, I LOVE the care and study they gave to birth order and family dynamics more than anything. Oldest, middle and youngest can often have distinct personality traits...the writers nailed it in my opinion. I hope this new reboot puts care into this as they have complicated it with the oldest of the two and the half sister who is the eldest of the three, with no history of having siblings. I hope they know this matters.
That's 'cause the creator wanted to focus on their personalities along _with_ the magic instead of just making a magical show. & I read that the women are based on Constance & her real siblings.
Prue will be forever my favourite character! I relate to her so much because I'm also the old sister and I can relate as being not the fun sister but rather the mature one
All 4 were great actresses on the show, but Shannen was probably the best. Such a raw charisma, and never "over-acted" - very subtle nuances in her acting, and always this sadness / heaviness in her eyes indicative of the pressures she felt as the oldest sister.
Shannen did a fantastic job on charmed. By far the best character. Prue was charmed and losing her was a big slap to the show. They should have worked with her to keep her got rid of Alyssa
Yes! I said this while this show was on the WB. they killed tha wrong sister and with it went their whole show. Season 4 had some good moments but seasons 5-8 were just not it.
she was my favourite sister, and I was so devestaded when she died. I did not like how they put Paige in, as if she could replace here. I loved Pipers reaction, when she first appered, when she wanted to close the P3 "We are not 3 anymore"
Me too! Season 4 episodes 1 & 2 were good..then they lost me..I still watched tha show cause I was invested..but I never got into seasons 4-8 like I did 1-3
Even though i hate that Shannon left the show, I thought her character's death was very useful to the character development of the other sisters. Because piper evolved from the weakest to the strongest and phoebe had to become a peace maker. A role she never thought she'd play. Also Rose mcGowan's introduction was set up well. But going back to Prue. Her death made sense in her season 3 arc of being too fearless, daring and bit reckless. All the things Prue was. That's why she was infected with "pride" She risked her life all the time and ran toward danger. I think the fact that it led to her demise was very poetic. Miss you forever Prue 😘
What can I say... Amazing ! You actually explained why Prue was my favorite character and why I would always miss her in the next seasons... Her character development is one of the best I have ever seen! And it was only in 3 seasons but it came out so naturally.. The writers did a fantastic job and Shannen Doherty gave the character life! How this so video came just now in my recommendations I don't know! Great analysis and great montage!
This is a great video it explains about everything about Pure and what all 3 seasons of Charmed greatest it was with Pure she will not be forgotten and her heart will go on for Always
"The Fourth Sister" was a favorite episode of mine from the first season. I also loved that little heart-shaped pendant Prue wore. I tried looking for one like it in the department stores, but I could never find one. :)
fantastic work on this video, you go into so much detail. shannen is such a powerful actress. seasons 1-3 were really special due to her + it was the shows beginning. charmed had such a unique feel to it. love the inside of the manor- the pastel colors, pinks, stained glass, etc.
You hit the nail on the head with this one! I think Prue had such an amazing development, and partly because she was the ‘main character’ during the first three seasons; I felt like she had a huge/an important role within the story, that it all felt off afterwards. Don’t get me wrong I adore Paige! But I would be remiss if I acted like Prue’s absence wasn’t felt; the showed changed afterwards and I don’t know if it was for the better. Season 4-5 were great, but it dropped started at season 6 :/ It would have been so cool if Prue came back, and Paige becomes the Whitelighter if the charmed ones, so that all four witches can still co-exist without harming the power of three!!
@@tasha0099She didn't leave because of an illness. She left because Alyssa got jealous of Shannen and got her fired. Shannen didn't get sick until years later.
Prue was just overly protective and misunderstood but she deeply loved Phoebie and Piper. She isn’t my favourite but I understand her struggle with grief and need of control to protect who she loves.
I was so mad when she quit the show and they had to kill her off Prue was a great character not only her power of Telekinesis which I wish I have right now but her goal to protect her sisters
I find it annoying that Piper and Phoebe were so willing to misunderstand and castigate Prue for her anger towards their father. Like she didn't have any right to be angry and them pushing their own feelings towards her.
Omg she was this shows best character!! It just was not the same with out prue Hallliwell. Prue Halliwell was the most awesome witch of the series. It's really a shame she could not stay in the tv show.
i love this video! as a kid i never cared much for prue, but as an adult her character and storyline is actually one of the more interesting things about the show. i especially love her and phoebe's relationship in season 1! and i think her dying young is so tragic but also perfect in a way. shannen was smart to get out tbh, i can't imagine a self-obsessed season 8 prue, that would've ruined her like it ruined the other sisters...
Same I hated Prue when I was younger. As I got older tho and rewatched her seasons she instantly has became my favorite sister. Which was broken down in this video I didn’t like her when I was younger because she was just to bossy. As I got older and more mature I saw it as being responsible. Not to mention that the lady was just IT!!! like the confidence she had was beyond sexy the role was definitely meant for Shannen and made for Shannen I always wonder the the show would’ve been like if she don’t leave or even if she came back a few times like grams and Patty.
To be fair to the show, Constance Burge (the original writer) left with Shannen when she did, so season eight likely would've been drastically different from the flaming garbage it is now had they both stayed
Thank you for such an amazing analysis, it really made me appreciate the show even more than I already did. 🎶 The first episodes I've seen were actually ones where Paige was already a part of the family and she instantly became my favourite sister, so it took me a while to warm up with Prue when I watched the first 3 seasons, but that doesn't mean I didn't like her, she was actually very relatable as well. I think all sisters have a very amazing characterization and they all have at least one aspect that everyone can relate to. I hope you plan videos about Piper, Phoebe and Paige as well! Keep up the good work!
Please do one about Phoebe and Piper!I love those videos. I love charmed and have watched it like 100 times tbh. When I was younger I didnt like Prue but as I got older the more she got my favorite. Specially the season 1 Prue. But I love every sister und grew up with them. I couldnt choose who is my favorite
I was young when the whole Shannon/Alyssa drama went down, I didn’t know the whole scope of it and why she was no longer on the show. So when I would watch week to week and see how they would bring her back ....but they never did I was not a happy camper. Prue was my favorite because I associated her to Jean Grey. Now before you say why didn’t you check online this was back in the day and the internet was not what it was today haha, and my parents rarely let me go online. It made me hate Phoebe and I refused to watch the later seasons with the same devotion as the first three.
I love Prue, but I personally prefer Paige's character. I feel like Prue's character was so good it could have been her own show, but I like that when Paige was there it seemed more equal as far as their contribution. My favorite thing about Prue was her independence and my favorite thing about Paige was her originality.
Prue was like the main sister with the most strongest powers even in the comics she could wipe the floor with all the other sisters but ppl can’t be mad when it’s canon that the oldest sister is the strou
This was an interesting watch. Prue was never my favorite but she had some great qualities and her dynamic with the other sisters was always authentic. Shannen is an amazing actress and it would've been great to see Prue in certain circumstances that happened after her death. I wonder where her photography would've taken her, would they have paired her with a human like they eventually did Paige? So many avenues but then again where would Piper and Phoebe be? Some things happen for a reason and her death allowed the other two to actually grow up. I would love to see this done on the other sisters and even Leo.
It was sad that Prue said that everytime ppl say she looked like Patty she was like she was afraid that she looked like her everyday and one day die young like her. And I was crying a little because it all came true only a different elemental demon Patty was killed by a water demon and Prue was killed by an Air demon. Another thing she said that one day she would have kids but that never happened and her career was basically just starting
Always hoped Prue would return and work with Paige before the end of the show Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige working together in a double episode or even a story arc would have been phenomenal. Tried to get into the new show but couldn’t I watched half a season and can’t even remember 2 of the sisters names only one I remember is Maggie.
You did an incredible job with this video. I love Prue and Shannen Doherty and the entire original series of Charmed. I wish we had more time with Prue but honestly, the reason her character is so powerful is probably because we didn't. The show writers didn't have an opportunity to ruin her character as many shows generally do as a major series progresses. I'm glad the comics answered some of our fan questions but will always wish the show had at least let Prue appear in spirit in a later season, even if from afar with a body double the way Angel did with Buffy after SMG was done with the role.
This is such a great video. It dives in and expresses the complexities of Prue perfectly. Can’t wait for more. Also will you be doing any content on the Charmed remake once it airs?
The remake shouldn't use Charmed as the title. They could have built the show up instead of ruining the original Charmed name and its reputation. They did the same with Ghostbusters (all women cast) luckily that was in a different dimension and the latest Ghostbusters will continue on from the last. I hope this charmed series is also from a different dimension too and doesn't hurt the best and original Charmed. I'm a massive Charmed fan ever since it was aired.
It always suprises me that Prue was only in the show for 3 seasons. Whenever i think of Charmed, she feels like such a big part of the show
Cause the first 3 seasons were the best and most impactful in my opinion
@@lg8405 first 4 were the best and special mention to 6

Definitely The Supreme 🔥 She Was Definitely The Main Character In Her Run .
The Alyssa vs Shannon thing really sucked because honestly I think Prue and Phoebes relationship was the most impactful and honestly the most realistic sibling like relationship. I love Prue/Piper and Piper/Phoebe, but watching Prue and Phoebes relationships grow and change both characters for the better was really great to watch. The show almost got there again with the development of Piper and Paige’s relationship but it never quite got there for me.
I agree with you. I did not care for that either. It was more interesting watching prue's relationship with her sisters rather then page.

Prue was the best. They made her too powerful, they did good giving Piper the explosion power to replace her powerhouse sister.

Prue was the strongest 😬 i read somewhere that if she would have still been alive, in season 4 she would have gotten the power of Telepathy?

I could be wrong though

@@Christian_Ada1 I feel Phoebe wouldve suited telepathy more considering her powers are psychic based
I love that the change in her character is shown with her costumes. She starts off dressing like a responsible adult, which represents her loss of childhood, but eventually allows brighter colours and looser clothes into her wardrobe, reclaiming her youth. It really shows how she's finally accepting her real self and is comfortable with her witch nature.
Shannon’s character as Prue was one of the best that ever did it I thought she was so amazing at what she did when it came to this show in particular 🌹❤️🥰❤️
Prue is quite honestly one of the best written characters on tv in that era. Shannen Doherty absolutely nailed it and I really hope that one day they do get a reboot, even just a short one.
I recently re-watched all 8 seasons of Charmed and found myself relating most with Prue. I'm the eldest child in my family and I also have that maternal drive that Prue had in season 1 and even though my mom is alive and well, I still looked after my siblings a lot, and sometimes it's hard to accept that they're all growing and soon won't need me anymore. And watching Prue's death now as an adult was really hard. Especially since in the earlier episodes she spoke of wanting a family and seeing her robbed of that just breaks my heart. It's a shame that Shannon Doherty never reappeared in the show, it would've been nice to see the sister's reunite, especially with Piper as she was most affected by Prue's passing and her becoming the oldest sister. And Paige meeting Prue would've been a great moment. Such a long comment but anyway, thank you for making this video about Prue! Will you be making videos about the other sisters as well?
In the charmed comic series pure came back
Same. I’m the oldest and always feel like responsible looking after my siblings
I’m the oldest too surprisingly and I’m the youngest as well so I feel mostly the youngest side but I do have some of the oldest side too
I so agree!!!
I have no siblings but always relate more with her character as well.
Also even her hair evolution was symbolic of her character. From that ultra structured short do in season one, to the progressively longer hair in season two and finally the very long and more mane-like hair in season three signifying her letting herself go. It was one of the best arcs for a character in such a short amount of time. It even made her cliffhanger death make sense upon repeated views though at the time I thought it was stupid how they just discarded her character.
Now I wonder what they could have even done to progress her story outside of creating her own family. It would feel as forced as most of Phoebe's relationships after Cole. Her character had the best run because she didn't live long enough to have her character become a scumbag like they did to Phoebe and Piper.
jaymesEo6 I think they ruined Grams and Pheobe's character after Prue's death, but I actually liked Piper's character development. To me, Piper's arc was the only thing I liked about the later seasons, since she was such a weak character compared to her sisters in the early seasons.
@@briannalee1998 I think she had a fantastic arc the 4th season. Her coming to terms being hoisted to the lead and the oldest sister, the feeling of not measuring up to Prue and forever living in her shadow to being the most powerful Charmed one of the reconstituted Po3. I think it went off the rails when Holly and Alyssa became producers. Their characters after weren't allowed to be wrong or be challenged or it was everyone elses fault and they had a free get out of vanquish free card because they were perfect and they "had given so much already" and everyone else is clearly evil, even when clearly not and being controlled by evil "thanks Cole-bama).
Agree! I wish there could have been more with her character!
Yes! I've always loved her hair. Pipers was cute as it grew longer but prue's hair just had IT as it grew.
The hair was definitely a paid actress lol it had a life of its own!
So tragic that Prue still died young. :(
Shannon too. RIP
Prue was an unforgettable character. Always will remain my favourite.
"Piper froze ya."
"She what? "
"Yup!"
One of my favorite Prue quotes
I think it was a serious disservice to the series that Prue was killed off. I also think the way her character died was too vague. They didn’t even explain in detail how she died, just showing her getting slammed through a wall. I mean the sisters have all died in much more interesting ways throughout the show, so that death scene was really underwhelming when you think about how powerful Prue initially was at that point. I also think it was really bad that she never came back as a ghost. The network should have tried to compromise with Shannon to at least let her come back one time in officially meet Paige and give phoebe and piper more closure. Honestly, if Phoebe had died I think it would’ve been a bit better. Piper definitely couldn’t have stayed dead, cause she’s really almost the heart of the show and I don’t think Leo’s character wouldn’t have much reason to stick around at that point. I also think it’s just really sad Prue never got to have her own identity outside of family obligations and ultimately died young just like her mom. I think that’s why Gram’s said she was having a hard time adjusting to being dead, because she really did fear she’d end up like her mother. I think this was also why piper was so hurt, because she saw how screwed up it was that Prue never really got a chance to live her own life. Ultimately I think Prue being the rock for all of them in the first 3 seasons did give the other two characters the strength and intelligence to move on without her. It’s also good they gave piper a more lethal power because Paige being the youngest and strongest doesn’t make much sense. She was too new and insecure of not being able to match up to Prue to take the lead.
Oh very well said!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great points but I disagree with you about the hypothetic deaths of the other sister. Even though I hated that Shannon left the show, I thought her character's death was the most useful to the character development of the other sisters. Because Piper evolved from the weakest to the strongest sister and phoebe had to become a peace maker. A role she never thought she'd play. Also Rose mcGowan's introduction was set up well in season 2. But going back to Prue. Her death made sense in her arc of being too fearless, too daring and bit reckless. All the things Prue was. She risked her life all the time and ran toward danger. I think the fact that it led to her demise was very poetic.
I think Shannen’s future was up in the air and when the decision was made they couldn’t show her likeness so they told the story as best they could. They could have compromised in bringing her back, but they could have re-casted Prue for ghost scenes. I always thought Lisa Edelstein or even Charisma Carpenter could play Prue. But they used Charisma to play Kira in season 7.
@@lungafilmz3214 , Piper was never the weakest. And Piper could be strong with Prue. In fact, Prue made the Power of Three seem stronger. They were weaker with Paige.
i started watching charmed a few months ago & Prue became my favorite right away she was such a complex & well developed character & had so much to give they could've done such great story lines with her character, i hated that she was only there for 3 seasons in which in my opinion were the best
Shannen Doherty is a power house of an actress! So relatable and real. When she left it was a hole that just could not be filled. And I love the other actresses . Prue was just super special in every aspect and Shannen brought her too life perfectly 💖💖💖💖💖👍
I agree!
I sooo agree!! ❤❤❤
Prue is undoubtedly my favourite representation of an older sister. The one who remembers the most, has the worst trust issues, etc. In a short time her character did really open up and evolve and it’s so disappointing that she was killed off (esp in such a lame way).
I think every oldest sibling (me included) who lost their childhood over something related to Prue on a very, very personal level. We were robbed of a beautiful character ark.
Yes we were
Decided to listen to this as a tribute to Shannen. It’s a fantastic video and a great tribute to the character and actress❤
I love Prue and it still irks me that people always hate on her base on her personality and history.
I don't really respond well to people like her (people are glossing over her flaws).
I mean, who tf just straight talks to their sisters like that? They're adults. Wtf?
& why did she accuse Phoebe of sleeping w/ that asshole w/out hearing her out?
She changed, but her initial introduction wasn't exactly someone to look up to.
@@Monie71793 I mean she probably had her reasons but it wasn't just the Roger thing that strain their relationship it was other things. All the sisters have their own flaws but it seems like people gloss over Piper's not Prue or Phoebes, especially since she is a fan favorite. This video was to show her growth through her time in the show.
@@neishawnjohnson7602 You're not serious? We aren't talking about Piper. & nothing should make you accuse your sister on the word of some dude. Tf?
@@Monie71793 it doesn't matter if we are are talking about piper or not all of them have their flaws that's what makes them characters. Like I said she had her reasons why her and Phoebe fell out and let's not act like when her sisters like a guy phoebe doesn't try to push up on their guy. So like I said she has her reasons but that's why this video was made to show her characterization and how impactful she is while acknowledging her flaws.
@@Monie71793 , many people talk to their siblings like that. And so what if she accused Phoebe of sleeping with Roger? They got over that and moved on.
It's interesting that you said it was great in season 3 how she became independent of her sisters. I have it in mind that she, along with Piper and Phoebe, were trailing off into their own paths. The thing is, the Charmed Ones are at their strongest when they are together and between Piper's concern in normal life, Phoebe becoming more distant with her romance to Cole, and Prue being more determined to train and combat evil (along with her impulsive attitude in confronting evil), all these things pushed them to be more independent of each other but also more vulnerable. Which I imagine is what lead to Prue's death (overlooking meta events).
Very interesting comment. Never thought of it that way. Woweee
@@chrissyroseup69 Wrong, the reason prue would have died as a plot is that prue even siad multipe times that she would die young like her mother and she also saw the angel of death a few epsoiodes before she would die as teh angel says its not your time.......yet. Also the reason that ure dies is cuz she was very reckless and head strong in teh sense that she would sacrifise herself for her innocnents! Prue was looking for trouble and demons later on as she was on a warpath and that made her reckless especially sicne she was so powerful!
@@leanture3685 price the character only died cause shannen didn’t want to do the show anymore if she decided to stay in season 4 it would have been the three halliwell sisters like it always was
Yes, Prue was the best, other than Piper. I learned to love Paige, too, but I feel like with Prue and Andy's deaths, the loss was so hard
Paige sucked. MY sister and I used to wake up two hours befire school just to watch charmed we stopped after the first few episodes of season 4. It wasn't the same without Prue.and Paige didn't make up for her being gone
Prue’s progression was fantastic. But, the most impressive was Piper. A sister who never lived without a big sister….taking over and caring for the entire family through two pregnancies. It is so moving and impressive. Such gifted actors and writers!
Prue's progression was the best.
Piper sucks.
This was wonderfully done. Thank you! I really loved the character Prue and greatly appreciate Shannen Doherty for gifting her to us. When the character died, I cried for days and didn’t think I could continue with the show. Yet, Piper really stepped into the oldest sister shoes. I thought that she grew to be even more fierce than Prue. Also, Paige was the perfect fourth sister. Although, Prue always remained my favorite, with Shannen gone, the other characters developed greatly. Still, I’m lukewarm on Phoebe. She had her wonderful moments but the Cole story was a bit much.
Prue was my favorite sister when I watched, but once she died I shifted to liking Paige the most. I hated most of Cole's arcs in the show and I feel like he just made every character he came in contact with worse. I did like his character, but they way they wrote around him became too annoying. I think the show got good again after they killed him off sadly. The whole Christy shenanigans in season 8 is also one of my more hated arcs.
Piper was fiercer because she was a wife and mother, something Prue sadly didn't live to be.
No. Prue is more fierce and Paige never felt like a sister.
I have homework but this is better use of my time.
Lol wow
I don't remember why I didn't like her as a kid but now I much prefer her time on the show now. And Prue was the only one who did her damn Wiccan job without crying about it all day. I'd love to see how it would have been with Prue Piper and Paige
But Prue, Piper and Phoebe had the best chemistry.
Omg, it's just been announced that she's passed away 😢😢😢. This character analysis is Soo beautiful 🥺. Rest in Peace, Shannon 🕊️🕊️
Shannen was the best
i think we can all agree on that
Hell no, I mean she was bad ass. Don't get me wrong I love her, but saying she was the best??? Nope. It's definitely Phoebe. Take it from the ultimate charmed fan 😁👍 👍💯
@@allstar5901 no the original post was correct, Prue is the best 😊😊
@@bain3801 yes pure is my favorite character in the series 💯💖💝
Finally a video about Prue Halliwell one of the best and most underrated female characters of all time! I love her so much. Thank you for making this. Can you do a video of Claire Bennet from Heroes? She is also an extremely underrated character who had great development.
Piper has the best character development, period 👍💯
Allstar cool but u can stop commenting stuff like this on every prue comment
@@allstar5901 , no. It was Prue.
Pure was the best character! The strongest as well! I loved how they made her such a mother figure to them. Even when she died you can tell piper really missed a void in her life with prue gone!
Always have a soft spot for Prue , charmed feels like two different shows even thought the first 5 seasons were great even after Prue cuz season 4 was amazing the dark storyline made it so much better after season 5 it kinda went crazy though season 7 was good and the last 4 episodes of season 8 were great though ..
You so nailed it😍😍😍 I wish she stayed.
Prue was definitely my favorite too growing up, I related to Piper the most but I really admired Prue.
Yes yes yes!!
Please do a character analysis for each of the sisters.
Or at least for Piper. She's my favourite and she had such an amazing character arc going from hopeless romantic and peacekeeper to cynic. More than anybody else she embodied different familial roles, going from middle sister to eldest sister and mother and wife and even the only grandma visible on the show.
EDIT: The only grandma within the sisters, not counting grams of course.
Prue was my favourite since I watched the first episode, when I was a teen
She was absolutely amazing in season three.
Prue was one of my favorite characters and I always wanted to see a video done on her. She was real and complex, badass and feminine. The writers showed that she was tough and grew after everything she went through. This was a fantastic analysis on her arc. I like Paige, but I still think she show would've been better if Constance M. Burge continued as the show runner instead of Brett Kurt (he ruined the show and characters especially Phoebe and Grams) and if they kept Prue as a character on the show and continued with the darkness. The first three seasons were ahead of its time. Prue and Phoebe were amazing. Piper's character development ended up being the later seasons redeeming quality. I can't help but wonder if they still would have made Piper a stronger character if she didn't lose Prue. Probably not. If they brought Prue back after season 4 or kept her and still had Piper evolve into a stronger character, the last few seasons would've been amazing. At least they were fun.
Piper was already a strong character when Prue was still on the show. If anything, Prue leaving weakened the Power of Three.
Nothing more to say. You said everything & so beautifully as well. She was my favourite character in Charmed. Hope Shannen Doherty triumphs over her cancer battle & generations to come stumble across this original Charmed as well. It's definitely timeless & a gift that keeps on giving
Giving how much she grew and how badass she was in just 3 seasons , it would have been mindblowing that she stayed and see the evolution throughout the seasons
Prue was always my absolute fave. I see myself in her, and she was such a good character who is resilient to trauma but it still changed her. ❤
Thank you for this...though I love magic and the craft, I LOVE the care and study they gave to birth order and family dynamics more than anything. Oldest, middle and youngest can often have distinct personality traits...the writers nailed it in my opinion. I hope this new reboot puts care into this as they have complicated it with the oldest of the two and the half sister who is the eldest of the three, with no history of having siblings. I hope they know this matters.
That's 'cause the creator wanted to focus on their personalities along _with_ the magic instead of just making a magical show. & I read that the women are based on Constance & her real siblings.
Pure was the best character and beautiful in the show
Prue is the best Charmed One hands down, Idc what the haters say. The haters can go watch that lame reboot lol.
AMEN!👏🏾👏🏾
Prue will ALWAYS be my favorite character of the show, i just love her so much !!!
Prue will be forever my favourite character! I relate to her so much because I'm also the old sister and I can relate as being not the fun sister but rather the mature one
This is a great analysis of Prue's character! She was my favorite :)
Prue was definitely the strongest sister and the best! I miss her :(
AGREED
All 4 were great actresses on the show, but Shannen was probably the best.
Such a raw charisma, and never "over-acted" - very subtle nuances in her acting, and always this sadness / heaviness in her eyes indicative of the pressures she felt as the oldest sister.
Shannen did a fantastic job on charmed. By far the best character. Prue was charmed and losing her was a big slap to the show. They should have worked with her to keep her got rid of Alyssa
Yes! I said this while this show was on the WB. they killed tha wrong sister and with it went their whole show. Season 4 had some good moments but seasons 5-8 were just not it.
No. They should of kept both Alyssa and Shannen.
Prue’s fear was dying young and what happened? She died young.
No her fear was drowning in water that’s her biggest fear didn’t you even watch the show?
Prues biggest fear is to drown but her another fear is too die young
she was my favourite sister, and I was so devestaded when she died. I did not like how they put Paige in, as if she could replace here. I loved Pipers reaction, when she first appered, when she wanted to close the P3 "We are not 3 anymore"
Revisiting this iconic character analysis 🫂
My favourite character, hands down. I started to loose interest after Prue was killed.
Same here!
Me too! Season 4 episodes 1 & 2 were good..then they lost me..I still watched tha show cause I was invested..but I never got into seasons 4-8 like I did 1-3
Yes! An emphatic yes! Prue/Shannen was the reason I watched this show. Thank you.
Shannen Doherty 1971-2024 rest in peace 😢😢❤
Even though i hate that Shannon left the show, I thought her character's death was very useful to the character development of the other sisters. Because piper evolved from the weakest to the strongest and phoebe had to become a peace maker. A role she never thought she'd play. Also Rose mcGowan's introduction was set up well. But going back to Prue. Her death made sense in her season 3 arc of being too fearless, daring and bit reckless. All the things Prue was. That's why she was infected with "pride" She risked her life all the time and ran toward danger. I think the fact that it led to her demise was very poetic. Miss you forever Prue 😘
Rest in Peace Shannen❤
Prue is my fave, plus she has great style
Piper is next for me
RIP Prudence, I love you so much and I relate to your traumas so well.
Prue was absolutely the best. She was always my favorite character.
What can I say... Amazing ! You actually explained why Prue was my favorite character and why I would always miss her in the next seasons... Her character development is one of the best I have ever seen! And it was only in 3 seasons but it came out so naturally.. The writers did a fantastic job and Shannen Doherty gave the character life! How this so video came just now in my recommendations I don't know! Great analysis and great montage!
I really loved pure I like Paige as well but the show is truly better when Prue was on the show
As usual, another wonderful video. Makes me realize how much I missed and loved Charmed.
For Prue to have only been on the show the least amount of time out off all four sisters she had the best character development.
This is a great video it explains about everything about Pure and what all 3 seasons of Charmed greatest it was with Pure she will not be forgotten and her heart will go on for Always
I've always felt that the show would have been better if they had kept Prue and gotten rid of Phoebe.
Always been my favorite character on the show.
Rest in peace Shanen
"The Fourth Sister" was a favorite episode of mine from the first season. I also loved that little heart-shaped pendant Prue wore. I tried looking for one like it in the department stores, but I could never find one. :)
fantastic work on this video, you go into so much detail. shannen is such a powerful actress. seasons 1-3 were really special due to her + it was the shows beginning. charmed had such a unique feel to it. love the inside of the manor- the pastel colors, pinks, stained glass, etc.
You hit the nail on the head with this one! I think Prue had such an amazing development, and partly because she was the ‘main character’ during the first three seasons; I felt like she had a huge/an important role within the story, that it all felt off afterwards. Don’t get me wrong I adore Paige! But I would be remiss if I acted like Prue’s absence wasn’t felt; the showed changed afterwards and I don’t know if it was for the better. Season 4-5 were great, but it dropped started at season 6 :/ It would have been so cool if Prue came back, and Paige becomes the Whitelighter if the charmed ones, so that all four witches can still co-exist without harming the power of three!!
That was big mistake that prue "shannen" leave this show
That is. Whated Shannon whated. And i repsced it
No, she had an illness.
@@rachelkelley5559 fix your grammar
@@tasha0099She didn't leave because of an illness. She left because Alyssa got jealous of Shannen and got her fired. Shannen didn't get sick until years later.
Prue was just overly protective and misunderstood but she deeply loved Phoebie and Piper. She isn’t my favourite but I understand her struggle with grief and need of control to protect who she loves.
I was so mad when she quit the show and they had to kill her off Prue was a great character not only her power of Telekinesis which I wish I have right now but her goal to protect her sisters
She didn't quit. Alyssa had her fired.
@@kerriethompson2073 maybe but the only ones who know what happen Is Shannen and Alyssa and Shannen still won’t tell us why
She tried to quit they didn’t let her then they fired her later on.
I find it annoying that Piper and Phoebe were so willing to misunderstand and castigate Prue for her anger towards their father. Like she didn't have any right to be angry and them pushing their own feelings towards her.
Omg she was this shows best character!! It just was not the same with out prue Hallliwell. Prue Halliwell was the most awesome witch of the series. It's really a shame she could not stay in the tv show.
Rest in peace ✌
i love this video! as a kid i never cared much for prue, but as an adult her character and storyline is actually one of the more interesting things about the show. i especially love her and phoebe's relationship in season 1! and i think her dying young is so tragic but also perfect in a way. shannen was smart to get out tbh, i can't imagine a self-obsessed season 8 prue, that would've ruined her like it ruined the other sisters...
Same I hated Prue when I was younger. As I got older tho and rewatched her seasons she instantly has became my favorite sister. Which was broken down in this video I didn’t like her when I was younger because she was just to bossy. As I got older and more mature I saw it as being responsible. Not to mention that the lady was just IT!!! like the confidence she had was beyond sexy the role was definitely meant for Shannen and made for Shannen I always wonder the the show would’ve been like if she don’t leave or even if she came back a few times like grams and Patty.
To be fair to the show, Constance Burge (the original writer) left with Shannen when she did, so season eight likely would've been drastically different from the flaming garbage it is now had they both stayed
@@chanelmontgomery1612 tru
Shannen Doherty was a remarkable actress loved her in the role of prue just found out she passed away 🖤🖤🖤😢
god damnit she was fine.
Prue Is My Fav
Thank you for such an amazing analysis, it really made me appreciate the show even more than I already did. 🎶
The first episodes I've seen were actually ones where Paige was already a part of the family and she instantly became my favourite sister, so it took me a while to warm up with Prue when I watched the first 3 seasons, but that doesn't mean I didn't like her, she was actually very relatable as well. I think all sisters have a very amazing characterization and they all have at least one aspect that everyone can relate to.
I hope you plan videos about Piper, Phoebe and Paige as well! Keep up the good work!
The same thing happened to me... I love Charmed!!! Greetings from Guatemala!!
Please do one about Phoebe and Piper!I love those videos. I love charmed and have watched it like 100 times tbh. When I was younger I didnt like Prue but as I got older the more she got my favorite. Specially the season 1 Prue. But I love every sister und grew up with them. I couldnt choose who is my favorite
I was young when the whole Shannon/Alyssa drama went down, I didn’t know the whole scope of it and why she was no longer on the show. So when I would watch week to week and see how they would bring her back ....but they never did I was not a happy camper. Prue was my favorite because I associated her to Jean Grey. Now before you say why didn’t you check online this was back in the day and the internet was not what it was today haha, and my parents rarely let me go online. It made me hate Phoebe and I refused to watch the later seasons with the same devotion as the first three.
Omg yes I despised Phoebe. Couldn't stand her character
Her death scar me. I am having repeated dreams of her death scene and how there’s no way of her coming back.
I love Prue, but I personally prefer Paige's character. I feel like Prue's character was so good it could have been her own show, but I like that when Paige was there it seemed more equal as far as their contribution. My favorite thing about Prue was her independence and my favorite thing about Paige was her originality.
honestly yeah prue was the main protagonist. but it’s just not the same. paige can’t fill in the steps that prue had left
Prue was like the main sister with the most strongest powers even in the comics she could wipe the floor with all the other sisters but ppl can’t be mad when it’s canon that the oldest sister is the strou
that one scene in the beginning of season 2 where prue breaks down is honestly one of the moments i always forget about but get hit the hardest by
prue talking about being scared of dying young is so chilling. seeing what happens later on
This was an interesting watch. Prue was never my favorite but she had some great qualities and her dynamic with the other sisters was always authentic. Shannen is an amazing actress and it would've been great to see Prue in certain circumstances that happened after her death. I wonder where her photography would've taken her, would they have paired her with a human like they eventually did Paige? So many avenues but then again where would Piper and Phoebe be? Some things happen for a reason and her death allowed the other two to actually grow up. I would love to see this done on the other sisters and even Leo.
Most of my favourite episodes are from the Prue era
Legit the best character on Charmed.
It was sad that Prue said that everytime ppl say she looked like Patty she was like she was afraid that she looked like her everyday and one day die young like her. And I was crying a little because it all came true only a different elemental demon Patty was killed by a water demon and Prue was killed by an Air demon. Another thing she said that one day she would have kids but that never happened and her career was basically just starting
Ok, I'm sure we all agree Billie and Aviva would have been awesome friends 😁
Prue Was The Best
Always hoped Prue would return and work with Paige before the end of the show Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige working together in a double episode or even a story arc would have been phenomenal.
Tried to get into the new show but couldn’t I watched half a season and can’t even remember 2 of the sisters names only one I remember is Maggie.
It looks like "P3-H2O" was the episode where Patty's being killed by the Water Demon was the root cause of Prue's fear of drowning. It makes sense.
Prue Halliwell was the blueprint for Dean Winchester, you can't change my mind but go on and try. 😆
Prue Was the best
You did an incredible job with this video. I love Prue and Shannen Doherty and the entire original series of Charmed. I wish we had more time with Prue but honestly, the reason her character is so powerful is probably because we didn't. The show writers didn't have an opportunity to ruin her character as many shows generally do as a major series progresses. I'm glad the comics answered some of our fan questions but will always wish the show had at least let Prue appear in spirit in a later season, even if from afar with a body double the way Angel did with Buffy after SMG was done with the role.
This is such a great video. It dives in and expresses the complexities of Prue perfectly. Can’t wait for more. Also will you be doing any content on the Charmed remake once it airs?
The remake shouldn't use Charmed as the title. They could have built the show up instead of ruining the original Charmed name and its reputation. They did the same with Ghostbusters (all women cast) luckily that was in a different dimension and the latest Ghostbusters will continue on from the last. I hope this charmed series is also from a different dimension too and doesn't hurt the best and original Charmed. I'm a massive Charmed fan ever since it was aired.
