(Anonymous) 2018-12-20 08:25 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, as someone who's only seen the first four seasons, this wasn't the impression of him I got at all. So I'm inclined to agree with you about the show changing its portrayal of him over time. He definitely didn't seem like a great dad in the early seasons, but it did seem like a lot of the things he did he did out of a somewhat obsessive and perhaps misguided desire to protect his kids.
I mean, there's definitely a validity in Sam and Dean going, "Sometimes it felt like hunting demons had become such a part of Dad's identity that he was essentially doing it because it was what he did, regardless of all the reasons he gave for why he had to Hunt." That kind of rethinking of the past by adult Sam and Dean would be absolutely valid, and there may well be some truth in it. But going off of the first few seasons, it definitely never seemed that his primary reason for Hunting was, like, personal fulfillment or whatever.
