A Former Cast Member's Disapproval

Dan Benson, who played Zeke Beakerman in the original "Wizards of Waverly Place" series, recently took to social media to express his disappointment with the reboot premiere.

In a series of tweets, Benson criticized the reboot's writing, acting, and overall tone, calling it "a complete and utter disaster."

David Henrie's Reaction

David Henrie, who played Justin Russo in the original series and is now an executive producer on the reboot, did not take kindly to Benson's comments.

Henrie quickly blocked Benson on social media and issued a statement saying that he was "disappointed" and "hurt" by Benson's criticism.

Fan Reactions

The public's reaction to the situation has been mixed, with some fans agreeing with Benson's assessment and others defending the reboot.

Some fans have expressed their disappointment that Benson is no longer involved with the reboot, while others have accused him of being a "hater."

Benson's Perspective

Benson has since clarified his comments, saying that he was not trying to "bash" the reboot but simply expressing his own opinion as a fan.

He added that he hopes the show will improve in the future, but he stands by his initial criticism.

The Future of the Reboot

Despite the controversy, the "Wizards of Waverly Place" reboot has been renewed for a second season.

It remains to be seen how the show will address Benson's criticism, but it is clear that the reboot has a lot of work to do if it wants to win over fans of the original series.
