I knew this show was gonna be a total disaster when they announced that David Henrie’s character was the focal point in the reboot… he was easily the least interesting person from the OG Wizards show, and I mean that as least shady as possible, it’s just common knowledge.
I will NOT have a black Cyclops involved in a love triangle between two telepathic white women, especially with one that calls herself "THE WHITE QUEEN"
Horrible optics. Either all three of them remain white, or all three of them are black.
Jake T. Austin says he wasn’t included in the ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ reboot, despite initially being asked to return and wanting to reprise his role:
“To all the Wizards fans, just wanted to say for the record how disappointed I am to have not been included in the spinoff. I was asked back in 2020 if I was interested in reprising my role and said that I was 100% in. Unfortunately, the powers that be decided to take the show in a different direction and my character wasn’t part of the equation. Even though I wasn’t involved, I still have nothing but love for my former castmates and wish them continued success. Thank you to all the fans who watched over the years. The show wouldn’t be what it is without your endless support.”
not promoting female-led projects properly so it doesn't perform as well and they can use that as proof no one wants them, the oldest damn trick in the book
Imagine looking at this and thinking these two were supposed to be rivals off-screen. They just couldn't be, they were practically inseparable during their Disney Channel days. It's honestly crazy that they had to deal with that kind of public scrutiny and a manufactured rivalry when they were only 12 or 13 years old. God, I hate how the media pushed that narrative. Also, this song is an absolute banger, and I'll always stand by the fact that Shake It Up was one of the best things to come out of Disney Channel. I absolutely adored Bella and Zendaya as a duo back then.
‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ star Jennifer Stone recalls a funny moment from Selena Gomez’s wedding with @People:
“Maria [Alex’s mom] looked at me because I was crying intermittently during the whole ceremony […] She goes, ‘Don’t worry honey, you’ll find someone one day.’”
