Honestly, as much as I'd love a reunion that would give the characters a better ending, and myself some closure, what I would much rather have from the Supernatural team is a formal and genuine apology to their queer audience for the way they treated them over the years.
I usually avoid interacting with those things (like con videos, interviews, actor-centric content) because it just upsets me and the show is over now and Destiel is canon but making Destiel canon doesn't erase the way the ship's fans were treated repeatedly and as far as I know continue to be treated.
I like to believe they have grown the past five years, particularly with how they continue to bring up and defend Castiel’s romantic confession to Dean. As well as posing for pictures with pride flags and plenty of fans saying Jensen reacted positively to Destiel artwork etc but that isn't enough. It's great! I love to see the growth but there's a lot of hurt there. Like if fans are super nervous to come up to you and show you something because they think you'll react badly and are pleasantly surprised when you don't... there's an issue there that needs addressing.
In this age we live in where anti-queerness is on the rise and seems to only be getting worse, I think it would be a huge step forward and very impactful if they (particularly Misha and Jensen because it being mostly about their characters) sat down and said they recognize the harmful words and actions they perpetuated in the past that it was not cool and that they plan to do better going forward. Something like that, bada bing
You can not attempt to not alienate homophobes (not straight people - homophobes. Because non-homophobic straight people don't have an issue with queer characters) without - at the same time - alienating queer people. Choose love and kindness and let those who take issue with that fall away. They aren't worth being in your audience in the first place.
