two points. first, I think it's okay to have a critical mindset and be in fandom, as long as you don't descend into hateration and you're reasonable about it. fandom is not just for squeeing.

second, i think with a lot of things, and certainly with supernatural, it's sometimes good to appreciate something for what it is instead of focusing on what it could be or might have been, especially when there's something good, some kind of good at least, that is present there (as I think is the case with Supernatural). It's trite and cliched to say "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" but it's trite for a reason. focusing on ways in which something is imperfect can prevent one from getting enjoyment that really is present.

these two statements might seem kind of contradictory but w/e. i think a critical stance is fine and a good thing, i'm just not sure that i agree with your specific critical attitude in this instance. supernatural is at its most basic level a story about two dudes, a sweet car, and killing monsters. i'm basically fine with that. if you aren't, or you want to point out flaws, that's good and valid; i just want to say that the simplicity of that basic premise doesn't necessarily mean its flawed.

hopefully that made some kind of sense, and isn't just banal rambling. i don't know. i'm going to stop typing now.

"don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"

i've never heard that before actually. i like it c:

also, yes OP, don't stay away from the fandom just because you don't wanna harsh some squee.

god i hate the word 'squee'

That addendum was primarily an inb4 "Just don't watch it if all you're going to do is bitch and ruin everyone else's fun!".

"supernatural is at its most basic level a story about two dudes, a sweet car, and killing monsters."

My biggest gripe is actually that I thought that was what the series was going to be about, going in; ghost-of-the-week procedural. And there are some real gem episodes about just that.

And I keep thinking 'Okay, the latest overcomplicated theological mytharc is almost over...they're going to go back to being normal hunters now, right? Who go after ghosts and monsters and also who don't hate each other?'

And I finally accepted that it's never happening.
