[youchangedme]

the CW when they see that two lines from a spanish dub get more attention than the literal series finale did

[meadowdean]

I cant wait to wake up tomorrow to see what completely insane thing happened on supernatural, a show that ended last week

[nealcassatiel]

Supernatural really went from a weekly show to a daily show and every day the plot intensifies

[obsessedandindistress]

this is spn season 16 we’re living it black-mirror style

[postmodernmulticoloredcloak]

Supernatural said death of the author, death of the format, death of the medium

[casismybestfriend]

So that was a fucking lie

FOUR people in the impala. Driving into the REAL alive on-Earth sunset. The final countdown. The giant “THE END” sign pointing to this happy ending with the WHOLE family (or at least part of it). The “family don’t end in blood” quote on the side. What even was “the night we met” for?

[tinkdw]

Why

[igotcursed]

what is WITH the last two years with all these major franchises and tv shows fucking up so badly in their last films/last seasons

endgame, rise of skywalker, game of thrones, supernatural……..like the endings just fuck up the whole journeys/plots/characterizations it’s ASTOUNDING

Its the pressing need to write absolutely unpredictable plottwists, which forces them to write nonsensical shit bc god forbid some dude on reddit accidentally called the ending, and also the same old racism/homophobia/misogyny as always.

Its also a curious level of denial about who your core fanbase is. All of these wanted their Target audience to be someone else than who their most loyal fans were.

The typical comic fans are kids and teens, marvel wants to make blockbusters for adults. Star wars fans are hyperfocused sci fi nerds AND a lot of minorities and disney wanted to make Big numbers in china and also generally wanted to appeal to a larger audience instead of a loyal, smaller group. The initial got fans were fans of the books, history nerds and lotr stans, d and d wanted to write their own story and shifted the original Story around to basically make a sexed up talent show, you tune in every week to see who makes it to the next round. And now the most dedicated, loyal and borderline obsessive spn fans are of course young women, many of them queer. Same as with sherlock, the creators HATED this, bc they wanted their show to be for men. They begrudgingly played into the fanservice for the ratings, but deep down they hated themselves for it and let us know IN CANON how much they disliked their own fans.

All of these were very good at convincing their fanbase some kind of reward was waiting for them if only theyd stick around and none of them deliviered. But hey, at least many people were watching.

THIS.

It’s actually very obvious that 99% of mainstream media creators get visibly embarrassed by a female majority fanbase. The condecension is thinly-veiled even when they’re in the middle of asking for attention/money from a demographic they obviously despise.

It’s a mindset that says ‘women have bad artistic taste’ and concludes that ‘if women like a piece of artistic creation that means there’s something wrong unless it’s specifically designed for women, in which case it is already categorically inferior and peripheral’. It doesn’t necessarily have to do with conscious authorial decisions (although many of them are intentionally misogynistic in this respect), because it’s a mindset that runs deep and has a much longer history than capitalism - it is a reflection of men’s monopoly on the right to build and add to the semiotics of artistic expression. For centuries. Across many cultures.

It is harsh and cynical; once you start to notice that, it becomes practically impossible to whole-heartedly embrace any fandom of mainstream media at all. That’s why it’s not the fans’ fault for not seeing that, no matter how obvious it seems to outsiders - sometimes in some areas women are still so invalid that praise and love from them are detested and promptly avoided, even at the cost of bringing down the whole story.

This isn’t something we’d get rid of any time soon; people will get new mainstream media obsessions and get hurt when its creators do something silly to avoid women’s approval.

But in the long run we must create our own stories. If you feel like you don’t get what you want, if you feel like your perspective is being constantly invalidated, then draw, write, and support artists who are doing the same.

STOP the infighting and purity policing because we can’t afford to do that. We are in this together.

Our voices remain marginal till this very day, and our priority really shouldn’t be taking down someone who simply likes a differen ship, a problematic trope, or a character you hate. Tolerance is hard but try your best if you really want to see a win instead of these endless sequence of predictable disappointments.

This isn’t even about spn just about basically any mainstream fandom

The CW tweeting about the finale as “just a man with his car” ah yes. I forgot that family don’t end in blood, it extends to motor oil

[eddielala]

Oh I read what mish said ...

Im happy with our covid ending

Bc it sounds like Cas would be trapped in the empty while Jimmy walks around in Deans heaven ... so no confession scene from Dean

I think the ending we got is better like that and that’s frustrating

[castiellesbian]

Oh I mean we were definitely queerbaited but the kind of funny thing is that we were straightbaited too. You really gave up Sam’s built relationships with both Rowena AND Eileen for nameless blurry background woman?

[coolmomdean]

Hey! I was a very important and well foreshadowed part of the finale.

[castiellesbian]

You’re right, I’m sorry for insulting you queen

[coolmomdean]

finally getting the recognition I deserve! not facial recognition tho cause I don't got one

[gracelesstars]

So basically they didn’t even tell Misha about what the ending of the character he played for 12 years was going to be. And then they did it without him. He only found out after watching the last episodes himself. ffs
