Dean Winchester in 15x20
Also can we talk about that character development with dean where he said they weren’t killers. In chucks version of the story he always painted them in that light especially dean. I mean even in the previous ep having him point a gun at sam and make jack a bomb. Even when chuck is losing he still gets a thrill in the story that he’ll be killed by the “killer” Dean Winchester and dean just tore all that shit down and chose to not be that person.
Dean: at least we have this dog even though I don’t really like em but I’m so desperate to save anything
Chuck:
Dean: you ain’t family jack just like get out of here mind your business
Jack: is god and has to leave to do god things
Dean: what the FUCK MY SON IS ABANDONING ME??
Jack becoming god weirdly felt like him going to college??? Even though he’s like 3 but just Sam being emotional and dean just being mad he was leaving just reminds me of a college send off scene.
Biden won because Jack became God
Logical me: That was a beautiful end for jack. He made utopia like kelly said he would. He loved the earth so much and he basically became a part of it so it’s so poetic and beautiful. He was always destined for greatness :))
baby me:H-He won’t go home to the bunker. I don’t want him to be a STUPID RAINDROP :(((
HE'S LETTING JACK DRIVE IN ORDER TO FORCE HIM TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING ELSE 💞 GOOD DAD SAM
so yes cas is gone and I had a mental breakdown with tears spilling everywhere so I’m just gonna pretend it didn’t happen
ANYWAY THEORY
Jack can maybe restore balance to the world by being both light and dark?? He is pure and powerful but we saw in this ep he decayed that plant much like amara does.
“Jack’s not family”
Jack continuing to whisper right in front of the people he’s whispering about as if he’s being even remotely stealthy… Gold star, kiddo. You’re doing amazing.
I feel like none of this in deans mind is about ANYTHING OR ANYONE. This is about dean’s personal vendetta against chuck and how he feels like everything that has ever happened to him is Chuck’s fault because he put him in a hamster wheel. What he’s doing is so horrible and I hope he comes to his senses soon because he is breaking. He’s not even making sense anymore. He thanks someone who has only been allowed three years of life, for DYING for him and Sam cause they finally get a shot at life but then pulls a gun on Sam? He uses the fact that jack”isn’t really family” to justify his sacrifice even though it’s always been,” family don’t end in blood” and he says he’s willing to give up pretty much all the people in his life, all the good, to get back at the person who has caused the bad in his life. He is S P I R A L I N G
I think this is very intentional. I don’t think we’re supposed to side with Dean right now, and I think we’re going to see him have a big moment to have to fully face who he is and his anger. I really hope I’m reading all these signs right and that we get a really cathartic moment but yeah, no matter how he changes, he can’t undo the harm he’s done to Jack and their family.
I 100% agree that character progression wise and narratively this is a conscious choice. I felt that way as I was watching. I think it also stems off of the conversation that he had with Amara when he asked why she brought back Mary. She had a few reasons why but I believe she mentioned his anger as one point. So, it’s interesting to see him explode like this especially because this felt like a big moment and it isn’t even the finale yet. So, even though he really can’t undo the harm, I’m sure they’ll have that moment of catharsis you mentioned and I’m really interested to see it. Even though he said he doesn’t view Jack as family, I’m still not sure I fully believe that and in the end they are family and I feel like they’ll forgive him. Still up in the air about how Dean truly feels.
Dean: thanks for dying for us jack. Yknow now me and Sam can have a life :))
Jack, having only lived for 3 years, and those years being filled with only pain and suffering:
Me, knowing how sad that episode just made me feel, just waiting for finale night:

this episode was definitely....an episode
anyway did anyone else think it was a little out of character when as a child dean was like dad’s not here im a rebel??? like what? I mean I can understand if he was like im your big brother and dad would want me to be brave and go kill this monster, sammy. but he was just like nah im a rebel whats a father i aint scared of that
Ngl I feel that level of dramaticness where jack is like listen dad the only way my other dads will forgive me is if I EXPLODE and DIE. like felt that jack
