2. A worthy destruction for the shows final villain
We first unknowingly met God in season 4. He was masquerading as Chuck Shurley, a Prophet of the Lord and an average writer who penned the Supernatural books. He finally revealed his true identity in season 11 and showed an ounce of interest in the world he’d created. He teamed up with the Winchesters and their cohorts to kill his sister Amara, or the Darkness (Emily Swallow), who was hellbent on killing him and destroying his creations. But all Amara wanted was her brother’s love. In the season finale, they reconciled and disappeared in clouds of black and white smoke.
Fast forward to the season 14 finale. Chuck inexplicably has a more sinister air about him and sports a shorter temper. He tries to instigate the murder of the Nephilim Jack Kline (Alexander Calvert) by presenting the Winchesters with “the Equalizer,” a gun that kills the shooter and the target with multidimensional energy. Sam realizes Chuck’s been toying with them and writing their story the entire time. And he’s going to determine how it ends. When Dean can’t bring himself to kill Jack, Chuck does the honors. Sam uses the gun to shoot Chuck in the shoulder, wounding himself in the process. Chuck throws a tantrum and wages war, creating the rupture that releases the spirits from hell.
In season 15, Chuck engages in sibling squabbles with Amara, who seems offended by every breath he takes. He visits his old flame Becky Rosen — Sam’s former fangirl and ex-wife — for writing advice, which doesn’t end well for her and her family. He’s also recruited Lucifer’s former subject, Lilith, for his “destroy the Winchesters and the world while I’m at it” mission. And he’s weakened by the gunshot wound that connects and binds him to Sam.
God has been set up as Supernatural‘s final villain. I confess I didn’t see it coming, but I wasn’t shocked or blown away when it did. He certainly wasn’t going to win any father-of-the-year awards, but there was no real segue from disinterested absentee dad to cruel, vengeful patriarch.
Ironically, it doesn’t look as though God can be saved. So if destroying Him is part of the final fight, let it be Armageddon! Give us displays of fire, brimstone and cataclysmic power. Additionally, they will need to tackle the question of, “What happens in a world without God?” Will the Darkness return because there’s no more balance? And does it mean Sam will have to die?
