Tbh we can fight all day about what “fans” were saying about who’s “stealing the spotlight” cause what matters now is who’s making better moves and that’s jensen. Y’all are so stuck in the past, writing essays abt what fans were saying from 10+ years ago and what your fav was doing 15+ years ago like who the hell cares????. Jared is simply not relevant anymore and he hasn’t since like the early 2010s. Jensen, who’s still stuck at B-C list is at least keeping his name in the public eye by going out for more diverse roles. Jared is relentlessly trying to force one specific image onto himself by going out for these roles that give nothing to his filmography and keep him from staying popular. You can come up all the ways to say Jensen is not taking good roles but cmon even you know that’s not true. Before he was on the brink of fading into irrelevance but he was fortunate enough to get the Soldier Boy which practically saved his career. What has Jared done of any real significance in the last 5 years since spn ended but a dog shit cancelled cw show and now a new formulaic doctor show (still texas centered)
Jared makes more money than all the SPN actors put together, yes that includes Jensen, during SPN and post-SPN. I say Jared is still relevant because he's able to command nice salaries from CBS, which includes his executive producer title.
Not surprised to see the "2010" fixation. Readers, I'll explain later.
So have you chided the AAs and Hellers for being stuck in the past? No? Yeah I thought so. Though to be fair the AAs are always rewriting history so you would have some difficulties telling AAs to stop getting stuck in the past because which past? The 15th AU version or the delusion found in the 8th dimension?
It's always the same pattern with people like you when the silent majority isn't being silent, and then you won't say squat to the loud obnoxious fringers. It reminds me of the "nice" Destiel shippers who keep telling non-shippers not to engage with hellers and to just stay quiet. It's easy to see that the agenda of the "nice" shippers was to make their ship appear relevant because silence gets interpreted as agreement.
Readers, you know why AAs are so fixated on the 2010? Because they thought season 5 was the turning point of Supernatural becoming Dean-focused and Jensen will finally get the spotlight and be on his way to a Marvel red carpet career while Jared is relegated to the has-been category. Except that didn't happen. Season 5 foreshadowed the season 10 debacle and the following respective season return to Sam-focused/Bi-Bro leaning formula and save the series.
Jensen's career trajectory would have been fine without Solder Boy. He got the Big Sky role and debuted Beau Arlen in May before Soldier Boy's debut in June. It was Big Sky that helped him land a guest/recurring role on Tracker. What Jensen has going for him is he is a good networker.
As always, you AAs are projecting your worst quality onto others. As usual, you pretend that Jensen has all of Jared's best qualities, including his career. Remember when AAs tried to claim that CBS first offered Walker to Jensen? Yeah that was funny. Spoiler alert, that's not how the industry works.
