I know I've mentioned this many times, but I mean it guys. But like, wow! Piper feels so evil in this season. I've already discussed her character in detail on my last post (might add more if something comes to my mind) but holy crap guys I watched a few Season 8 episodes with early seasons back to back and OMG is Piper so different. Even in her worst moments like Ex Libiris or later season episodes like Charrrrrmed, Styx Feet Under, Oh No Whiny Goddesses. Cat House etc Piper NEVER felt this bitter and just plain MISERABLE!
I mean literally look at any season 8 scene with Piper. She either NEVER smiles or has a constant look of bitterness to her expressions. Even when showing emotions. Even compared to Seasons 5-7 she feels different. Normally I hate Phoebe the most, but I think Piper here is just as bad as Empathy Phoebe in Season 6.
youtu.be/iGQ74_B_2JE?t=86 Look at this first scene where she uses her power at Agent Murphy, her facial expression where she rolls her eyes it feels so mean-spirited and cruel. Just how Piper responded even sounded unpleasant. It feels like by this point Piper hates everyone and everything in life, as if nothing can or has made her happy!
youtu.be/iGQ74_B_2JE?t=231 Even when she vanquished a demon with her Power of One explosion she seems miserable. And how she just attacks Christy with no response just rubbed me the wrong way. Or how she's just willing to chuck a potion at Billie and Christy without even bothering to negociate simply because they inconvenience her getting Leo back. She was willing to vanquish Billie just on the spot for absolutely no reason only going based off her being a "rumored" ultimate power, not even bothering to consider Billie being manipulated or being lead false information.
youtu.be/fLVvuVf-F7E?t=549 Piper is even awful to her own sisters. Not only scolding Paige for trying to find demons/innocents, but look at her facial reaction when talking to Paige, when Piper goes "Do you have a death wish is that it?" It feels like Piper totally hates her tonally. She says that in such a bitter, cynical and hateful tone.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0EydMV9604 Even something as simple as Piper carving a pumpkin she doesn't even look excited doing that. Piper has such a bitter look on her face. She even makes a mean-spirited remark about vanquishing Billie for getting caught on scoping out a demon, even if it was suppose to be a "funny" line it no longer feels funny when Piper herself doesn't even look like she enjoys saying it. Seriously what happened here? Why does she act and look so miserable all the time during this season? Only made worse when moments later she's revealed to turn reporters into rodents simply because they annoyed her.
Piper is also constantly threatening to blow people up, even as a joke her tone doesn't show this. It feels genuine in her voice. youtu.be/hPcUiWVOVwA?t=260 Like here Piper is just willing to let this woman possessed by a demon just lay there simply because she was "too perky" even threatening to blow her up at one point.
Just compare Piper's funny moments to earlier seasons like this in Season 3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrGfMkTD4Xg&list=PLP-IKZP4kCpIqQEyVcCuY3m_CgV8l-3w7&index=77 Her delusion about having a normal life makes her want to make fake passports, she also looks sarcastic while doing it.
Or this scene from Chick Flick youtu.be/rWN45W3LH7I?t=123 her panicing nature in this scene combined with the tone makes this funny while Piper is still likable at the same time. Remember when Piper had likable moments guys? Season 8 forgets about it.
