First off, I feel I should say this: I mean no disrespect to Derrick Wyatt.  The man's a great talent, he's helped the franchise, and he's been a good source of information more than he's been unreliable.

That said, he may have worked on "all stories", but only to varying degrees. He has openly admitted that all writers have different agendas, and his main ones were the Kevin/Rooters stuff, the Argit stuff, and the Ben 10,000 stuff. Charmcaster wasn't one of his "things", so his view on the matter may be askewed. He was factually correct in so far as "Charmcaster isn't redeemed in OV", but when saying things like "she started out a bad guy" (not true) "and had no hint of redemption" (VERY not true, especially in her last few episodes), then he's showing his own personal bias, since he doesn't like the idea of villains reforming ever (Kevin included, which is why he pushes the idea that Kevin goes on and off evil throughout his life even though canon doesn't support that and there is no proof in the show that the "Ken 10" episode is part of the prime timeline's future.)

Also, Yuri Lowenthal hadthis to say about where Charmcaster went after "Most Dangerous Game Show". Is it a joke? No duh it is. But the serious factor about it is that, for all he knows, Charmcaster is still perfectly free (which makes sense, why would she get automatically zapped back to the bag when Rojo, Nyancy, Ester, Kai and the rest weren't automatically zapped back to where they came from?)  Note too that ust like Derrick, he said "probably". Which means Derrick's answer is not canon, as the writer of the actual episode doesn't share it. Yuri's answer, however, isn't canon either. The real canon answer is status unknown. It's open-ended, everyone free to think what they want.

That is yet another example of Derrick Wyatt not always being the end-all be-all when it comes to answers about the show.

(Also, are you not at all curious as to who my mystery writer source is? Because they're actually in a better position than Derrick right now when it comes to Omniverse; hint-hint.)
