TFW's plan for Chuck forgoing snapping the boys away and beating them up instead doesn't make any sense. Them surviving the beating doesn't make any sense. ... Unless we headcanon that his power was already draining. That Chuck didn't snap them away because he couldn't, or at least wasn't sure he could and didn't want to lose face. Chuck was wailing on Sam and Dean but they start to get up, gasping for air. He looks nervous when he then covers and goes to snap.
A few tweaks to the scene or Rob's facial expressions and it could have shown that Jack was already draining Chuck of his powers, that draining Michael took too much out of him.
He just keeps punching them and they keep getting up. In fact they get up faster after the first few times. You're telling me that THEE literal god can't punch a Winchester hard enough in the face that he can't get back up?
Finally they get up and Chuck is NERVOUS and yet he still doesn't try to snap him away. It makes no sense for their lil plan to hinge on Chuck deciding to beat them up for ... ??reasons??? and that Jack wouldn't have tried to intervene sooner. So it has to have be interpreted as Chuck covering the fact that he didn't know if he even could snap them away. that he didn't want to try and lose face if he couldn't. Don't worry, this still leaves plenty of plotholes.
