Combs and Doherty were not thrilled when The CW announced its “fierce, funny, feminist” reboot of the witch series. “Guess we forgot to do that the first go around. Hmph,“Combs tweeted. “Here’s the thing. Until you ask us to rewrite it like [showrunner] Brad Kern did weekly don’t even think of capitalizing on our hard work.“The actress spoke out againwhen in May 2018. “I will never understand what is fierce, funny, or feminist in creating a show that basically says the original actresses are too old to do a job they did 12 years ago,” she wrote. “I hope the new show is far better than the marketing so the true legacy does remain. Reboots fair better when they honor the original as opposed to taking shots at the original.”

Carter even stepped in to defend the remake whendirector James Cameron called ita “step backwards.” “To James Cameron -STOP dissing WW: You poor soul,” shewrote on Facebook. “Perhaps you do not understand the character. I most certainly do. Like all women–we are more than the sum of our parts. Your thuggish jabs at a brilliant director, Patty Jenkins, are ill advised. This movie was spot on. Gal Gadot was great. I know, Mr. Cameron–because I have embodied this character for more than 40 years. So–STOP IT.”

No, that’s not right. I was seriously thinking about this for years, really … It kept eating at me, and I really respect those girls. And then I started to feel like if I didn’t do this movie, maybe somebody would write a bad review or something, thinking there was some sort of disapproval [on my part].”

“The only thing I care about progression wise when they do a sequel and they morph they better bring it and they better say ‘It’s Morphin Time,’ " Yost added. “When we said, ‘It’s morphing time!,’ it was like, ‘S—’s about to go down;’ when they said it in the movie it was so lackadaisical I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ "
