The top scene is great because Dean’s face is like “but what about meeee, what about how awesome I am?” And the second scene with Maeve and Sam is an interesting choice on Robbie’s part as a way to represent how some of fandom sees Sam. It hits the nail on the head and pretty straightforwardly calls out the interpretation Sam haters have of him. Here we see Sam did something he has always done, saved people, and it’s pegged as a ‘Dean’ trait even when it clearly applies to him. It reminded me of fandom’s response to Death complimenting Sam last season: but he’s Deaaaan’s friend! Sam didn’t save the world, it was Deaaaan and the Impala! Sam doesn’t take care of his brother, only Deaaaan does! Sam isn’t smart or nerdy or kind or sensitive or brave, those are Deaaaan characteristics!
