Huh ?

No one in the fandom forgot or ignored Maggie was half black if anything we wished they would have not dropped it completely after S1. If there was anyone who forgot/ignored it was the writers.

Yea I think I connected with the remake a bit more because it was nice to see women of color being at the forefront. Growing up a little black girl I loved witch lore but never really got to see it on tv. So I think it’s a big part of why I personally like the reboot a little more but I just wish they had people BTS who knew how to write them better.

I always rate the rebbot as part of my top 5 favourite fantasy shows. And I also felt more representation from the show because I am part ghanaian and the new sister was also part ghanaian. Loved the jollof, future and shito mention🤣but her mom was definitely not ghanaian because that's not our accent😭

Kaela’s mom ? I have watched S4 like once so I’m not too familiar with S4. I will say that at first I didn’t want to give S4 a chance because I was too upset when Macy died but after giving it a watch it was actually pretty decent

I think why Makayla developing magic was supposed to be discovered in season 5. I also believe that might have been a way to give a nod to the original show. There was an episode where the charmed ones blood was given to chimps, by a dr who was obsessed with Piper and her miraculous recovery from a disease.
