Yeah kripke era is the best era but. His biggest transgression? Never getting sam and dean to talk about the voicemail. coz how are you gonna just dump that on us and leave it completely unresolved? You can't just leave me here watching Sam live his life believing that his brother said all those things to him like what?

#it wouldve been so easy to bring up too!! #sam needed to hear what dean really said!!! #anyways #kripke #sam winchester #supernatural #sam and dean #dean winchester #spn s4

Kripke’s belief that most of the fans are male appearing in this episode. 🤭

[ozonecologne]

not me learning via my dissertation research that eric kripke, creator and former showrunner of the cw’s supernatural, is in fact related to saul kripke, the philosopher name-checked in a source i’m citing for my third chapter???

your cousin was one of the most important thinkers in modern history, awash with controversy amid allegations of sexual misconduct and plagiarism/faking results, he inspired an entire character on big bang theory, and you wrote supernatural

#!!! #why am i cursed with such knowledge #i can't believe i had to read eric kripke's name in the year of our lord 2023 #in a completely non-fandom setting #me reading this book: haha kripke. that's funny #*does a quick google* #.....oh my god #text #kripke #my worlds have to stop meeting like this

[deanwasalwaysbi]

does anybody have a link to the old kripke interview where he says if a character walked in and showed power and beat everybody up and exploded things dean would immediately fall head over heels?

It was getting passed around after annie / starlight made her epic Cas entrance on the boys

“There’s this thematic of the show that the Winchester family has turned against the rightful path of nature and fate. They keep presenting themselves as targets because they are so obsessed about saving each other; they take self-sacrifice to this pathological level. It actually serves as a character flaw. What they are willing to do for each other is both a strength and a character flaw. And with each occurrence they keep turning further and further against nature.”

was reading this article http://eclipsemagazine.com/supernatural-creator-eric-kripke-answers-fan%e2%80%99s-questions-%e2%80%93-part-iii/ and this especially was v interesting to me

I'm curious about how Sam was originally supposed to be the "main" character, but (imo) Dean always kinda felt like the main character, or at least carried the emotional weight of the show more often than Sam. Am I mistaken? Do you know why that is, or have any meta written about that already?

hi hi! I know there's already a bunch written about this, and a lot of it is in my kripke tag right here.

Maybe a good place to start is Kripke's original idea for the show. If you haven't read what I call the Harrison Draft, his original concept for the show, I think it goes a long way toward explaining it. Real quick, it opens on Dean discovering their father dead in the cold open, and then going to find Sam at his graduation from Stanford. The two of them had been raised "normal" by an aunt and uncle, and had always been told their father was insane, and may have even killed their mother. They weren't raised hunting, so Sam believes Dean is also insane for coming back with stories about demons and such. Sam was the audience pov character of "normal person learning about this whole world of monsters" while Dean was the gateway into that world for Sam/the audience.

And that is 100% NOT the show we watched. lol!

I think some of it is leftovers from Kripke's original pitch for the show, too (which you can read right here, and I highly recommend it, it's only 4 pages long), that posits STAR WARS IN TRUCK STOP AMERICA, with Sam as a reluctant Luke Skywalker and Dean as the swaggery Han Solo. And just... lol.

But then the concept of the show evolved into the pilot we did end up getting, and Kripke hired a bunch of other writers to help flesh out the blank slates of these characters, and Jensen and Jared were hired and the writers were like... heck... this Dean chap... he's got unplumbed depths... And he was just so compelling and took us all by the hand and showed us his world. While Sam's early seasons goal was repeatedly attempting to run away from that world.

I mean, granted Sam hated what that world put on him from the start, but honestly so did Dean so like... why did Sam want to escape it while Dean was so determined to keep on saving people and hunting things? It made him compelling. It made him the hero by choice.

And I mean, so much of the early seasons Bad Stuff happened TO Sam, leaving it on Dean to be our connection to it, you know? Sam was the one having visions and feeling less-than-human, and we the audience instead of seeing Sam as "the normal one" and therefore the audience POV character, we were asked to instead stand in Dean's shoes, protective older brother to Sam who was left to try and figure out how to save his brother from all of it.

And that might not be the story Kripke originally set out to tell, but it's what became the foundation of the show from like... episode 2. Definitely by episode 3. Obviously by "main" character here I'm speaking of the audience POV character, which doesn't always fall on Dean's shoulders to carry. They definitely tried to balance that, especially in later seasons by foisting the MoC on Dean, and then the whole possessed-by-Michael arc, making Dean the "problem" that Sam had to solve.

The show is very obviously about both of them, in different ways, and neither of them is "The Main Character" in a way that the show would work if you just, say, killed one of them off, you know? But Dean very quickly became "the more relatable one" to the audience pov. He was Just A Guy™ against Sam's "psychic visions coming true oh gosh am I a Supernatural?!" And one of those things is far more relatable to most viewers, you know?

The show happens TO Sam, and Dean reacts to that by choice.

heck I'm running out of ways to express what's essentially one thought :'D

From season 1′s commentary ‘Supernatural: Tales from the Edge of Darkness”:

ERIC KRIPKE “The first thing was, we really set out to make this [season 1] feel like a horror movie. People ask me all the time, “Well, were you inspired the X-Files, or were you inspired by Buffy, or what TV show inspired you.” And I said, “I tell ya, we were inspired by features, we weren’t inspired by other television shows. Movies like Poltergeist, and American Werewolf in London, and Evil Dead. Those were the kind of movies I really gravitated towards, and those are movies that are scary as hell, but they’re funny too, and that this sort of sense of playfulness to them. And that’s what always sort of attracted me, and that’s what we strove hard to bring to this series of Supernatural. We took our scares seriously, but we didn’t take ourselves seriously.” [4:50 - 5:34]

#kripke #working my way thru the dvd features & it's very interesting #also thinking about an old post i saw where it argued early SPN wasn't 'really' horror. which is just. uh. wrong? #the shift to dark fantasy started in s4; was fully there by s8; but the early seasons were definitely horror!

[charred-angelwings]

I swear if we ever get a Supernatural movie, Kripke HAS to be the one who makes it

(X)

#supernatural #spn movie #Supernatural is a horror movie 😈😈😈 #and its his baby #kripke #i hope this happens someday #imagine sam and dean cussing like they actually would #actual ​rated r gore and violence not cw violence #now he’s got some gooooooood practice after #the boys #I wanna see it

from the home featurette

#well it's less interesting than i remembered but still pretty funny. TO me #i legit don't know what this is from there are a bunch of features that i guess were for a re-release or something of the first two seasons #cause they were recorded in 2010 #came with my t*rrent lol #gonna post The deleted scene from that ep too hold on #vid #kripke #right i forgot i do have a kripke tag now

[dreamytfw]

Every now and then I remember how Kripke had to release a statement explicitly saying that Dean wasn’t a douche bag after Yellow Fever aired because the text implied Dean was, in fact, a bully and a douche bag. And it floors me cus at that point Kripke had been writing Dean as kind of a dick for 4 years. Dean is kind of a douche bag and that’s fine. Like, my guy, you wrote this character to have these specific traits that douche bags also have, why are you mad at us for going along with what you wrote???

#OP #Supernatural #SPN #nightmare show #Dean #Dean Winchester #Yellow Fever #04x06 #Kripke #Eric Kripke #it's very telling Kripke didn't consider those characteristics to be douchey tbh #such rancid vibes from that man

[dean-winchesters-adhd]

I can't stop thinking about the moment Kripke and Jensen decided he'd be perfect for Soldier Boy. The ONLY THING I can imagine is:

K: I'm trying to cast for this supe on The Boys and having a lot of trouble

J: Oh?? Tell me about 'im

K: So he's this Captain America parody, tortured by Russians in the 80's and released into the modern world...

J: Sounds like a lot of potential, man. What's the, uh- what's the issue?

K: Eh, no one's been perfect yet. I want SB to be the symbol for toxic masculinity these days... *Kripke explains himself for 2 hours*

J: Huh, I actually might be able to pull that off. I'm available, what do you think?

K: *laughs evilly under breath* WELL OF COURSE JENSEN I was planning on it I mean-

J: A superhero, yeah? Lemme get a good look at this guy...

Does a Google Search, first image is LITERALLY THIS:

J: 👀

K: 👀

J: ...

K: I mean, hah, you don't- My idea for him is different he's kind of-

J: I'm in.
