Very rare a show managed to complete their course without landing into any sort of trouble. The creators of a show are also humans and they are also bound to make mistakes. Through out the 15 Seasons of the show, numerous decisions and directions taken by writers & creators garnered plenty of criticism from the fans. Also some of the cast members have also been involved in scandalous things that Supernatural doesn’t want you to know.
So Take A Look At 6 Things That Supernatural Fans Shouldn’t Know About
6. BAD LUCIFER
There have been several versions of Lucifer in the television and movies. Mark Pellegrino’s Lucifer is undoubtedly one of the best Lucifer portrayals on the screen. His Lucifer is menacing and terrifying, you never know what he’d do the next moment. While the character of Lucifer is like the epitome of controversy, it looks like the actor took his role too seriously, and acted like Lucifer off-screen. Some of his tweets agitated the fandom who demanded the actor to be removed from the show. Some fans called him a bully who demeaned them. The tweets were removed from his handle, but many fans took the screenshot and it created plenty of headlines. Ultimately, the actor wasn’t removed from the show and appeared until the final season.
5. FATE OF FEMALE CHARACTERS
Supernatural has been long blamed for poorly treating the female characters. Even though the show introduced some really strong and independent female characters such as Charlie, Jo, Ellen, Kelly Kline, and numerous others. But all of them ended up meeting a tragic fate. Even though characters such as Rowena and Mary Winchester got their fair share of screen time, but the focus has always been on the men; Winchesters, Castiel, Crowley, Lucifer, and lots of other male characters. It’s surprising why the writers decided to write off the female characters, and even the ones who aren’t written off have not been utilized to their full potential such as Sheriff Jody.
4. JARED-JENSEN MISUNDERSTANDING
Jensen and Jared who played Dean and Sam Winchester have become close as real brothers due to the time they spent together on the show. When Jensen Ackles shared a story online announcing the prequel spin-off of the Supernatural titled ‘The Winchesters’, Jared reacted to the news, saying he was ‘bummed’ that he was completely unaware of the spin-off. He further said that he was gutted. However, the two actors had a great talk and sorted out the misunderstandings. Jensen and his wife, Danneel, would be managing the spin-off series which focuses on John and Mary Winchester. Dean Winchester would be the narrator of the story.
3. BECKY THE CRAZY FAN
Fans can be obsessive at times Being passionate about your favorite TV show, book, is one thing, but drugging your beloved character and tricking him in marrying you is a whole different of crazy. Becky is a crazy passionate fan of Supernatural books so when she found out the books and the characters are real, her obsession reached new heights. In order to get her love Sam Winchester, she used the help of a witch to create a love portion through which she drugged Sam and married him without his consent. She had Sam tied to the bed at her parents’ cabin. While the entire ordeal can be viewed comical due to the light hearted tone of the episode, but imagine what it would have been like if the roles were reversed.
2. CURIOUS CASE OF MR. WADE
The character of Cole Trenton appeared in the Season 10 of Supernatural. Having witnessed Dean Winchester fighting his father as a kid, he grew up as Marine, spent years training and getting himself ready to hunt down the elder Winchester. Actually his father was a monster and Dean disposed him in order to protect Cole and his family from their monstrous father. Apparently, the actor allegedly made inappropriate advances and comments online. And when some fans stood up against him and tried ‘exposing’, they were blocked by him, and were labelled ‘liars’. The actor Travis Aaron Wade has denied all the allegations. He revealed that his Twitter handle was hacked and he didn’t make any of those comments. Someone else used his account who did all the flirtatious chats.
1. MINORITY QUESTION
Another biggest criticism of Supernatural is the show’s lack of diversity. The show ran for 15 Seasons and over 300 episodes, but it only featured only a handful of characters of different ethnicities and races. The diverse characters featured on the show either turned out to be the evil villains or they met their fate tragically. Take for example, the characters such as Raphael, Uriel, Gordon, Jake, they all turned out to be evil villains and ended up meeting their demises. Other characters such as Missouri, Rufus, who weren’t evil also met a tragic fate thanks to writers. We didn’t see any Asian character on the show up until the Tran Family was introduced and they also met a tragic fate. What do you guys think? Is it just a strange coincidence or the writers purposely wanted to prioritize the only certain characters only?
