imagine the supernatural season one aesthetic if they were boppin around in a prius
john winchester looks at the coat of dirt on the prius. “dean, i wouldn’t have given you this car if you weren’t going to take care of it.” “dad, everyone knows you buy a prius for the fuel efficiency, not for the appearance.” “you’re right, son, my bad. carry on.”
in the pilot episode, the woman in white takes control of the prius on the bridge but then she realizes she’s in a prius so she softly whispers “this is bullshit. i can never go home.”
sam says “we’ve got work to do” and then steps back so he can close the hatchback
because their lives are so stressful, they choose the soothing sea glass pearl color. who wants to worry about visible clear coat scratches when you’ve got monsters to kill
a semi hits the prius during the season 1 finale but, due to its five star side crash safety rating, dean winchester never enters a coma. season 2 is fundamentally altered.
I don’t even go here, but please tell me more about plot problems that could be solved if they were driving a road safe, fuel efficient, cheaply maintained car.
dean has to take out his rage by attacking people instead of the car because it’s basically made of plastic?
cut to Sam and Dean eating on the impala outside a food truck
Sam: so get this a random person across the country died
Dean: ok but it’s probably not our thing
*it is their thing*
Scene change: Dean and Sam walking outside
Dean or Sam: hey do you really think we should be taking this case, considering the season’s overarching plot line?
Dean or Sam: we’ve got no leads so I’ve got to work or I’ll go crazy
Dean: hello sheriff pay no attention to the fact we look like supermodels, have ridiculous names on these clearly fake FBI badges and my brother has the same hair style as Jackie Kennedy and give us all the info on this case
random sheriff: this case? Why you FBI boys are wasting your time. There isn’t a case here.
Visibly shaken white woman holding baby: this isn’t like (random person) I just can’t believe it
Dean: did you hear or smell anything weird? Sulfur? Cold spots? These are very official FBI questions.
Visibly shaken white woman holding baby: Of course, agents. Look I’ve told you everything I know, except for this mysterious hint.
*Sam swallows and looks at Dean*
*Scene change*
*Impala pulls into motel*
*research*
Sam: I think it’s this thing
*it’s not that thing*
Sam: get this, I think we’re dealing with this thing.
Dean: That’s great Sammy but I think I know where the thing is going to be
Monster: attacks visibly shaken white woman holding baby
*Sam and Dean arrive just before visibly shaken white woman holding baby passes out
Monster: *chokes Sam*
*Camera shot of Sam’s face as he is being chocked*
If only Sam could reach the phone/ knife/ gun!!!!
Sam: *eyes roll back into head*
Dean: arrives in the nick of time and kills monster
Visibly shaken white woman hugs baby, she is teary-eyed: “so you’re telling me monsters are real??? Thank you for saving us!!! If only you could have saved that random person. I guess I’ll have to move on now.”
*scene change, Sam and Dean in Impala*
Dean or Sam: that was the right thing to do
Dean or Sam: but was it
Dean or Sam: sometimes you can’t save everyone.
*implication that story of random person is the same as Sam/ Dean’s season plot line issue
Dean and Sam look at each other
Sam is clearly nervous
Dean is stoic
Impala drives into rain
Fade to black
I can’t stop laughing this is literally ten years in a nutshell
Every time someone tries to explain the metaplot of Supernatural to me, it basically ends up sounding like redneck Dragon Ball Z. I’m sure there’s some nuance I’m failing to grasp here.
Care to elaborate on that?
…I’m not even offended, just absolutely curious. From the stuff I’ve seen and heard about Supernatural I can’t see the connection.
Mostly, I get the impression of a show that doesn’t know how not to escalate.
Every threat’s gotta be quantitatively bigger and badder than the one that came before. Every deus ex machina’s gotta be shinier than the last one. Every season’s gotta end with a massive eleventh-hour powerup for our heroes, only for the next season to raise the stakes enough to put them back in the underdog position.
It’s like, you beat the Devil himself? Well, now you’ve gotta fight the Devil’s cousin Phil, who has conveniently gone entirely unmentioned up until now, but he’s totally twice as evil.
That last paragraph was literally supposed to be the most ridiculous hypothetical example I could think of, and people are messaging me to say “his name was Metatron, not Phil”. I can’t even make fun of this show.
we’ve
moved past beating a dead horse and arrived at ‘palaeontologists are
unearthing remains of severely mistreated horse corpse’
It is season 45 of supernatural, the Winchester brothers are facing their biggest threat yet, Satan’s cousin’s college roommate’s godson, Fuckhands McMike
