Supernatural

Supernaturalwas fifteen season of highs and lows , so escort how the long - running show would end intrigued fans . With so much history , and the wager ofSupernaturalseason 15being the highest yet , it ’s not surprising there was an expected value that the finale would be one of the show ’s best episode .
So many plot line were wrap up inSupernatural ’s final time of year , and it feels right that theatrical role that fans drop years loving would get the send - off and cloture they merit . The COVID-19 pandemic importantly touch howSupernaturalseason 15 ’s concluding episodeswere shot and save . When the world went into lockdown , only the final two episodes still had to be scud , which mean much of how those episodes were indite changed . While no one could ’ve plan for this , it ’s still unfortunate that such a dear and long - running show did n’t end on its own terms .
10Dean Getting Killed By A Regular Vampire Still Hurts
Dean Should’ve Died Differently
After shoot down Chuck and realise Jack the young God , Sam and Dean Winchesteressentially went back to business by hunting monster . AfterSupernaturalshowcased Sam and Dean hunt for 15 seasons , it palpate a niggling queer that for the last ever instalment the author pick out to show the brother hunting regular quondam vampires . After the Winchester brother ' many deaths , it felt like nothing could ever kill them , because they ’d simply just come back to liveliness like they had so many times before .
Supernatural of late aired its final ever installment , but rooter reaction to the long - awaited ending is middling negative . Here are the biggest criticism .
When Dean is impaled by a nail while hunting a regular nest of vampires , it ends up being his dying , it feels artless . Dean had take on the Alpha vampire only years earlier and seeing veritable old vamps take down one of the best hunter ever felt up like a cop out . It ’s not that controversial that Dean had to die in the series finale , but how he died rubbed devotee the wrong way . If Dean Winchester was going to die for good , he should ’ve gone out in a hell of glory , not by a random nest of vampire .
9There’s No Castiel In Supernatural’s Final Episode
Cas Got A Mention From Bobby Though
One ofSupernatural ’s most controversial moments came in season 15 , episode 18 whenCastiel sacrifice himself to save Deanand sent himself to the Empty after confessing his love for the hunter . After so many different death and Christ’s Resurrection inSupernatural , including Castiel come back multiple times , it seemed obvious that the fan - favorite holy man would be back for the serial last , but he was only mentioned by Bobby Singer when Dean is in Heaven .
Supernatural ’s latest episode sees a major character seemingly reveal his dependable feeling as he says good-by - here ’s why the moment has split fans .
While it was probably voiceless to get Misha Collins back to Vancouver to film the serial publication finis because of COVID restrictions , it ’s still a bit crazy that someone who had such a long tenure on the show and was a main cast member did n’t seem in the show ’s net two episodes . While fan know that Castiel aid Jack rebuild Heaven , fans did n’t get any closure on Dean and Castiel ’s relationship . Leaving Castiel ’s character terminate so open - ended and without any real resolving power was gravelly , even four twelvemonth later .

8Jared Padalecki’s Awful Old Man Costume
Old Man Sam Winchester Simply Didn’t Work
After Dean ’s death , Sam was in conclusion capable to settle down , get married , and have a child . Audiences grow to see Sam grow sure-enough in a way that they never consider possible . After so many events that pulled Sam back into the hunter lifestyle , it was refreshing to see him get the happily ever after he always wanted . It ’s hard to make any actor seem much older than they are , and with COVID restrictions , it became sorely obvious that getting the constitution and hair’s-breadth to make Jared Padalecki look decades previous was n’t going to fully take chassis .
After so many outcome that overstretch Sam back into the hunter modus vivendi , it was refreshful to see him get the jubilantly ever after he always wanted .
While the sentiment of Sam growing one-time remains , the awful costuming is so hard to omit . Sam ’s grey wig search like it was taken out of a Halloween fund and slight makeup was done to make him seem old . The scenes of Sam growing onetime are rattling and should hit worked up beats . Still , unfortunately , the lacklustre costuming took audiences out of what should ’ve been one ofSupernatural ’s most emotional mo .
Created by Eric Kripke, Supernatural is a fantasy/drama series that premiered in 2005. The series follows the adventures of Dean and Sam Winchester - two men wronged by supernatural beings as children who now spend their days investigating and hunting demons, ghosts, and monsters across the United States.
7Not Knowing Who Sam Married Is Still Annoying
Many Were Upset Sam Didn’t End Up With Eileen
Sam Winchester has look for a lasting love for long time , peculiarly after his girlfriend Jessica was pop in theSupernaturalseries premiere . Many fans had thoughtSam had found hisSupernaturalmatch in Elieen Leahy , specially after Sam resurrect her in season 15 . Elieen was able to match Sam ’s reason and could address the hunter lifestyle . So when it was revealed that Sam was going to descend down and have a family , many fan assumed Elieen would be his married woman .
However , the identity of Sam ’s married woman is never revealed . In one aspect when Sam plays with his son , Dean , Sam ’s wife can be seen in the setting but she ’s foggy , meaning there ’s no relation if she ’s Eileen or not . It ’s not clean if Eileen was suppose to be Sam ’s quixotic endgame , but even if she was , COVID may have made it about unsufferable to bring Shoshannah Stern back for a cameo appearance . When suppose of Sam Winchester ’s gayly ever after , this is just another detail that spoils it just a bit .
6Dean’s Car Baby Makes it to Heaven But Not Castiel
Castiel’s Absence Felt A Bit Like A Slap to the Face
One of the most iconic part ofSupernaturalwasDean ’s 1967 Chevy Impalawhich he lovingly named Baby . The gondola has appeared in intimately every sequence ofSupernaturaland is synonymous with the Winchester blood brother as well as the show . AfterSupernatural ’s serial finale , Jensen Ackles even took home one of the cars they used for Baby . It was awesome to see that when Dean made it to Heaven after dying in the serial publication finale , he was capable to take a drive in Baby .
One of the thing that rubbed audiences the wrong way was that Baby made it to Heaven , but that Castiel had not . While Baby had been an integral part ofSupernaturalsince the beginning , it still palpate wrong that Baby appeared but not Castiel . Baby , for the most part , was an non-living physical object , whereas Castiel was a live being . While Sam and Dean cared for both Castiel and Baby when they arrived in Heaven , it ’s odd that one would be there , but the other would n’t .
5Supernatural’s Penultimate Episode Was a Better Ending
The Series Finale Was an Unnecessary Tag
In the next-to-last installment ofSupernatural , Sam and Dean use Lucifer and Michael ’s contention to power up Jack and ultimately slip Chuck ’s power , making Jack the new god . The episode did a great problem of wrapping up what had been the overarching story arc for the final few season . With Chuck defeated and Jack run low , Sam and Dean return to the sand trap where they toast to everyone they had lost along the fashion and realize they can do whatever they want and no one would interfere .
The ending of “ Inherit the worldly concern ” has a collage of clips from all ofSupernatural ’s 15 seasons . With Sam and Dean driving into the distance with Jackson Browne ’s “ Running on Empty ” playacting in the background signal , the ending is simple but good . While this ending would ’ve been a little too open - ended for many fans , it still would ’ve worked . If there were simply five or so extra minutes admit in the episode , there would ’ve been an chance to wrap up all these news report or else of developingSupernaturalseason 15 , episode 20 .
4After Saving the World, Dean and Sam Still Go Hunting
They Can Do Anything But Still Go Hunt the Monster of the Week
It was made very clear-cut inSupernatural ’s next-to-last episode that with Chuck defeated and Jack now in charge , Sam and Dean were free . They would n’t have Chuck interfering and ready their life unnecessarily complicated , and they would n’t be forced to do whatever Chuck wanted . InSupernatural ’s serial finish , Sam and Dean still pick out to go hunt , even though they do n’t have to . Having the Brother bring back to their average from the last 15 years did n’t feel very final .
Even though Dean dies while hunt , it does n’t feel like the final episode of a long - run television show . After doing all these sinful things in time of year 15 , Sam and Dean essentially go back to BASIC when it comes to hunt . Additionally , the first James Henry Leigh Hunt they go on without Chuck influencing their living , Dean die , indicating that without Chuck , Dean was n’t that smashing of a hunting watch . It ’s an odd move to send off these quality , and while Dean would n’t have been the cat to get married and uprise one-time , it ’s incongruous that on his first hunting after saving the reality he dies .
3Supernatural’s Finale Was More Reminiscent of the Kripke Era
The Show Was No Longer Just About Sam and Dean
ForSupernatural ’s first 5 seasons , Eric Kripke , the show ’s Jehovah , was at the creative helm of the show . After that , the show grew beyond its creator and started admit new and interesting character reference . So much of the first five seasons orb solely around Sam and Dean , but in the later season it grew to truly imply that“family do n’t terminate with parentage . ”TheSupernaturalfinale was meant to enfold up the eccentric ’s journey through 15 seasons but only sharpen on two of them .
Whether they be singular , excited lines , or powerful , heartfelt monologues , the most dramatic quotation mark in Supernatural are often about family .
While there were short explanation for what happened to other fiber like John and Mary Winchester , the stopping point did n’t go that supererogatory step for its fans . Supernaturalhas truly leaned into the paper of found family in the later seasons , especially as Sam and Dean took on pseudo - parental roles to Jack . So see these major composition be essentially brush off just to wrap up two quality ’ story properly does n’t think over what the show wanted its viewers to take by from it .
2Bobby Being The Only Other Hunter To Return Was a Missed Opportunity
No Other Recurring Character Appeared
One of the criticisms ofSupernatural ’s limning of Heaven in the series finaleis that none of Sam and Dean ’s other family , blood line or otherwise , were there waiting for them . The one to greet Dean was the originalBobby Singer . While Bobby was the perfect fictional character for the occupation , it ’s dissatisfactory that other characters did n’t , which really would ’ve help the episode sense more final . Supernaturalhas killed so many different and beloved reference over the years , so it ’s upsetting that fans did n’t get to see them one last fourth dimension .
Before the pandemic , it was plan that there would be as many quondam graphic symbol appearing in Heaven as possible , but because of restrictions and health and safety , that mind had to be junk . While fans ca n’t be mad thatSupernaturalwas enforce COVID restrictions , as it was in everyone ’s expert interest , they can be broken about it . The “ what if … ” of who could ’ve and would ’ve come along outdoors of Harvelle ’s is something rooter alas have to be okay with .
1Charlie Not Returning for The Series Finale Still Hurts
The Fan Favorite Character Only Got a Mention in Season 15
Charlie Bradbury was a sports fan - favorite graphic symbol from the moment she appeared inSupernaturalseason 7 . She was quirky and smart , which made her right away likeable . Charlie render once again inSupernaturalseason 10 , thoughCharlie would be killed later on in the season in one ofSupernatural ’s most controversial moment . When Apocalypse World was stick in in season 13 , audiences got to meet an substitute phase of Charlie , and while she looked like the Charlie rooter had fare to love , she was n’t the same .
Many fans were hoping that along with Bobby , Charlie would appear to Dean when he pass to Heaven . After only getting a honorable mention earlier in time of year 15 , Charlie seemed prim to render , and if Bobby was n’t the one to greet Dean , Charlie would ’ve been the next best option . Despite all the defect ofSupernatural ’s serial closing curtain , it ’s still a joy to watch , if only because it ’s the culmination of 15 season of nifty storytelling centered around two of the most compelling characters .
