Imagine being so iconic that this is considered news? 🤣

Maybe his beard has a spin off, it’s filming :)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

whenever I look through a jared/sam account on twitter, more often than not it usually is just unbelievably trashy toxic negativity that seriously has some sinister energy behind it, why are so many of them truly awful people

My flippant answer would be “look at who they stan.” But I think that’s letting them off too easy (while acknowledging that is a part of it).

Jared isn’t exciting or fun. He comes in, does his job, and leaves. And I don’t even write that as an insult. It just…is.

They see Jensen fans getting excited over all his different projects. The shows, the publicity, the photo shoots…He’s turning into a “star” in front of their eyes, leaving Jared behind. Jared, who was number one on the call sheet. Jared who had steady work with the CW/WB for over 20 years…Jared, who they think should have the career and popularity that Jensen does…and they can’t stand it.

They see Misha just having fun with his life and continuing to amass fans. His panels are fun…his social media is both thoughtful and downright silly…he’s living his best life and doesn’t have to be starring in a tv show to stay relevant…and it literally angers them.

They have to start hashtags like “we love you…” to get Jared trending. His social media is stagnant unless he’s trying to sell them something or he’s promoting his wife. The most popular tweet about him was an AI rendering of him.

I guess if I were his fan, I’d be cranky too.

Well, as far as I know, Jared was supposed to play a more mainstream role among the brothers, but somehow Dean (Jensen) got more attention. https://www.tumblr.com/cynifer/787708126272094208/i-get-the-feeling-that-some-people-who-watch?source=share.

I’m not arguing that the show in its origins isn’t about 2 brothers. I’m saying it expanded to be SO much more than that. And the writers (Kripke) purposely triggered that when Bobby was introduced at the end of the first season.

As far as Sam v Dean, whether by design or due to Jensen’s talent and charisma, while it seemed given the storyline in season 1 &2 that Sam was written to be the lead, that didn’t bear out in the actual episodes.

Dean got more attention because, like it or not, IMO Jensen made him much more appealing a character than Jared did with Sam.

Honestly I think they totally expected to go the course of “ the chosen one” “ Harry Potter” model until they really saw what they had in Jensen.

It’s not like they could just go on season after season and not acknowledge Jensen was leading the show from like the third episode. People highly underestimate the power of knowledge when it comes to bonding with characters and “Dead in the Water” was all the primer we needed to know who the one to follow was.

They gave us everything in Dean, everything as he grew as a character. I still don’t know what Sam’s favorite food is, what his favorite book is, and who he is as a person who isn’t a victim of something. He was “ the victim” so often it just became his personality that people liked to coddle.

So them making it to be about the Brothers, and the blessing of the writers strike honestly save that show from doom, and also gave it fresh life outside of Winchester bubble and allowed fresh new stuff to happen for the show. The show never would have made it if it stuck to the original model of the show.

I think the original idea changed when Jensen was cast as Dean, it just took a while to shape the story they had planned around it. If you take all the info we have plus read between some of the lines it's pretty obvious what happened.

Jensen was hired first, to play Sam. They trusted him and wanted him enough he didn't even have an "audition". They had a meeting, which they flew in him from Vancouver for. They discussed the character and story, did a few line readings for feel, Jensen mentioned during the course of this meeting how much he liked the brother Dean but he was there for Sam and they hired him for Sam. Jensen even says in an interview during the pilot it was kind of a late stage change he went from Sam to Dean.(Before the "official story" was set I guess)

Then the network came in and strongly "suggested" Jared, I think they had some sort of deal with him. Jared auditioned and the producers still wanted Jensen, that's why Jared's manager, by Jared's own admission, had to call and basically beg Kripke to believe Jared could play an intellectual.

At which point they were kind of stuck - the network wanted Jared and the network was the one making the decision on whether if not the show would air, the producers still preferred Jensen and did NOT want to lose him.

That was when I think Peter Roth brought up Jensen had mentioned about his interest in Dean. So because Jensen is a good guy, was more concerned about doing something that interested him and telling a good story than his spot on the call sheet, it worked out perfectly. They didn't have to lose Jensen to satisfy the network.

But it was kind of late in the game and they had a basic framework for the story so they stuck with it for now but imo clearly with the idea that Dean was now going to be an equal lead and he was hired as such whatever call sheet numbers were. They knew Jensen had really kind of saved them from difficulty and drama by being a stand up guy, given they'd hired him and the actual people making the show (the producers) wanted him in the "no 1" role and backstage politics pushed him out.

So I do think they knew to some extent what they had in Jensen from the start, they really didn't want to lose him. But he knocked Dean out of the park from day 1, so it made it easy for them to build the Dean character up based on what he was giving them.

Truth. There was a lot of behind the scenes politics at play. I remember a lot as I was watching live from season 3 onwards. It was obvious that the network grew very bitter that Jensen & Dean became the most popular character on the show and no one really liked their beloved Sam & Jared. It angered them so much they pushed for Sam to be made more “Dean” like in season 6 with the soulless Sam storyline. They tried to turn him into a Dean type badass who was funny, sarcastic and kicked ass. Unfortunately for them it flopped hard with the audience and the audience at the time myself included pointed out they saw that they were trying to turn Sam into Dean so he’d be more popular & make Dean more sensitive & Sam like and he suddenly wasn’t as strong and good a fighter they tried hard to undo years of canon of Dean being the best hunter in the entire Winchester family and it didn’t go down well with the audience who saw what was happening and called it out. Many people said the network didn’t seem to get that what made Dean, Dean was Jensen Ackles so it was pointless to try & turn Sam into Dean. Jared simply wasn’t a good enough actor to pull it off and people didn’t like soulless Sam and they wanted badass Dean back. I think at some point after that in season 7 Jared just really started phoning in his acting and not really caring so the network gave up on him & let the producers & show runners do what they wanted and make Jensen & Dean the REAL lead for the rest of the show. That was a smart move cause if they kept forcing Jared as THE lead the show would have been over much quicker. Even with the amazing Misha & Castiel. It was Jensen & Dean that made the show in the beginning & jensen’s obvious love for the show & character & his continued stellar performance over 15 seasons that made Dean iconic and ensured the shows lasting legacy.

I think the other reason Jared fans hate when people bring up prequelgate is because if they truly engaged with it they'd have to face the fact that it was their guy who shattered their delusions. Jared is the one who got on main and told the whole world he and Jensen weren't speaking.

If Jared had just done the professional thing and tweeted "congratulations" and then left Jensen a drunk angry voicemail in private, people might still have speculated, since there were theories about a rift between them for a few years at that point, but there wouldn't have been any hard proof.

Instead Jared basically picked up a megaphone and told the world, "We're not really friends anymore." Jared did that, and Jared alone.

Yup.

Publicly they don’t say any of this though. Publicly it’s all “Jensen is a bad friend.”

But you nailed it. Call your friend and call him an asshole. Don’t put him on blast on main and sic your crazy fans on him.

So, after Russell Shaw's first appearance on Tracker, I wrote here how I could actually see them spinning off his character into his own show. And, yes, I got some anons telling me I was just blowing smoke because I'm such a fan of Jensen's.

But the character, in my mind, is just that good and interesting (as is the actor who portrays him!).

And I'm not alone in that thinking!

Thanks to @sweetonsugden for pointing the US Weekly article out to me and Elwood Reid's quote:

'Tracker' is returning to CBS for a third season — but not every cast member might be returning for more episodes

"The goal isn’t just to bring Jensen Ackles back on Tracker. During an interview with Us, Reid didn’t rule out expanding the universe with a spinoff. 'I’m going to try to steal Jensen,' he quipped to Us. “\'We worked on another show of mine before, so I’m going to try to kidnap him back from The Boys [and Countdown].'"

Fuck, yeah. Make it happen, Elwood!

heller-cockles-truther

Compare it that Jared's stans was so excited from paid articles mention spin-off (that happening but without Jared...), and they made about you sharing something that really came from a real source? Lol

It's funny how they suddenly are not talking about that spin-off and cbs show... lol.

Can't wait for all the Jensen & Toni scenes. 😎

Kripke:

“[Homelander] just wants a dad to love him and be proud of him. And without spoiling anything in Season 5, I would say, because the revelation that Soldier Boy was his father came so late in Season 3, we never really got the chance to play it, but actually playing this father-son relationship between those two characters, there’s a lot of material to mine there and a lot of fraught emotional turns. So we’re able to dig into that in Season 5, and it has been a blast watching those two actors play off each other in the dailies.”

With "Tracker," "Matlock," "60 Minutes," "FBI" and "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage" leading the charts, CBS is set to win its 17th consecu

Tracker really is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for CBS.

You love to see it. :)

In Countdown, we will see where the skill & experience of Jensen Ackles culminates in the perfect casting choice as Mark Meachum, action sta

Wow! This is such a good article. I love how much focus on his varied skills Jensen is getting.

Well worth the read.

EDIT: I had to come back and edit after reading the article. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually got a little emotional reading it because of how brilliantly and how perfectly they described Jensen Ackles as any character.

Few actors can fuse athletic aptitude with complex emotional storytelling. Jensen Ackles is that rare blend. He’s the thinking person’s action hero. In Countdown, we will see where his past meets his present: years of grounded, expressive acting now overlaid with heightened prowess and physicality. The result will culminate in a “leading man casting dream” come true.

Why Action Looks Different on Jensen Ackles

Some actors learn to fight. Jensen Ackles learned to move. There’s a difference.

It’s not just about throwing a punch or hitting a mark—it’s about intention. Ackles’ physicality has always felt like an extension of character, not choreography. He doesn’t dominate space—he occupies it with purpose. Whether he’s delivering a bone-crunching blow or standing perfectly still with a loaded stare, every movement is economical, fluid, deliberate, and emotionally weighted

I’m just saying it would be absolutely hilarious if after 15 years of baiting Misha and Jensen kissed on Kripke’s OTHER show

Doubt it would ever happen sadly. Soldier boy is the poster child for toxic masculinity. There’s no way he would willingly kiss a man he’d have to be forced. Though that’s not out of the question on a show like the boys maybe mish character is a villain with the hots for soldier boy. I can dream right?

https://x.com/fighting4truth6/status/1893642951344918863

The least problematic out of j2m would be Jensen and the most problematic would be Jared.

While I admittedly have a bias, I don't see how either Jensen or Misha are problematic. Where are their laundry lists of things they've done that are problematic?

Problematic is getting arrested for being drunk and picking a bar fight. Problematic is assaulting (sexually and otherwise) your coworkers and pretending you're just messing around. Problematic is picking fights with people on social media. Problematic is drunk tweeting your supposed best friend and siccing your fans on him. Problematic is doxing people just doing their jobs because you felt like you weren't treated like a star.

All this 💯

Ok so I (reluctantly) looked up pictures of Jared today to understand what you're talking about and he looks.. normal to me? (Normal for him.)

I've never found him attractive. And maybe I pay so little attention to him (I've seen nothing he's done since the SPN finale, I don't follow him or Gen on socials, I don't watch J2 panels, nothing) that I don't notice any changes. But he doesn't look any different to me? The beard grosses me out, but beards on 99.99% of everyone gross me out. Yeah, bad plugs/hairline revision/dye job (whatever) but that's not new. Squinty little eyes, pointy nose and chin and skinny legs. Again, none of that is new. He looks kinda tired? Maybe? I guess? But he's what 45 now? He looks tired. So what?

What are you seeing that makes you say he looks ill or so much worse than usual?

I didn't see any red booze nose, bloodshot eyes, pallor, drooling, skin flaking off, obvious track marks, bruising, herpes sores, teeth falling out.. unless I didn't look close enough? Was he slurring and falling down or something? What?

(I might suffer from Jared blindness. I barely notice he exists at the best of times.)

He looks haggard and thin and about ten years older than he is. (He’s 42…not exactly “old”)

Hell on Fire Country just walking across a room made me think he was going to snap in two.

He used to be thin, but fit, and relatively handsome, and he’s lost that all quickly and at a young age. That’s what I’m saying.

The only thing that 1 (one ) fan asked was why jp doesn't participate on this stuff with the cast and his fans are acting like a legion is threatening jared life and burning his grandparents alive, they are so dramatically hilarious.

I’m crying over them saying Jared is Jensen’s “baby girl”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also, when did Jared ever take responsibility for his shittiness? 🙄

They’re so Trumpy it’s laughable. They think if they say things enough times they’ll be true. 🤣

#anti jared padalecki #anti j*red #supernatural #jared padalecki sucks #jared sucks #anti j*2 #jivorce

All of this so laughable but the Jared known in the mainstream I can’t 😂😂😂😂 no one in mainstream know who Jared is. In the famous words of Antony Starr “who’s Jared?”

https://www.tumblr.com/cynifer/775874713545293824/httpswwwtumblrcomcynifer775870709250539520i

Funny how they “praised” him so much on the show that he was so wonderful, but they couldn’t find a spot for him in their spinoff? What, Sheriff Country doesn’t have firefighters?

😆

In all seriousness, I was just commenting to a friend here that I think Jared did more harm than good with his appearance on Fire Country. (And I don't even mean his character. His character wasn't even the worst part of that episode, and IMO the show has just gone downhill since that ep, not because of Jared.)

I think it showed that his ability to work as an actor is limited now - he's not going to be climbing buildings or appearing in fight scenes the way Jensen is becasue I think he CAN'T do it. Which should be worrisome to his fans. But they refuse to see what's in front of them.

The doctor show sounds like it would be good for him if it indeed didn't include a lot of 'action,' but even that seems to be so far off in the distance right now.

I think he's picking up all these conventions because, right now, that's the work he can get.

I think the BTS stuff did him the worst because honestly now he seems like all his surgeries and accident with the car has somewhat made him disabled. I mean if those people were praising his stunt work that much over nothing, saying things like:

“ he was really doing it “ were awkward praise to me, like I would get after surgery for walking laps at the hospital.

The fact he needed a stunt double for that bar scene was nuts and we have no clue how much that was on the screen was him or his stunt double because they have to edit the thing like TAKEN to make the scene look like more then it was.
