I hate Meg. Fair warning.

I'm doing a rewatch of Season 1 right now and I'm at the episode where Meg 1.0 is going around killing all the Winchester's allies. It's been a long time but, in early fandom, characters like Pastor Jim and Caleb featured pretty heavily in fan fic, particularly pre-series. They were some of the few characters I was able to latch onto outside the Winchesters, even though they were only introduced to die. Add to that her part in Jo's and Ellen's deaths, and I have no sympathy for Meg whatsoever. I hated when the Winchesters started working with her, I hate her weird relationship with Castiel, and I'm glad they killed her. I don't feel bad about that at all. Sorry, OP.

The thing that's interesting to me is that I feel like the Meg we see in S8 is a completely different character than in S1. And it's not just character growth, because she's just not in enough episodes for that to be the case.

In S1, she is a recurring villain, and is wholeheartedly bad. Then we don't see Meg the demon again until S5- her vessel appears briefly as a ghost in S4, but that's not really her. Meg the demon comes back in two episodes of S5 and seems like a return of the same recurring villain from S1.

But then she shows up in S6. And from then on, she's strangely on the boys' side - something about the enemy of my enemy being my friend thing. She never really seems "good" to me. It seems like her goals end up lining up with Sam and Dean's sometimes, mostly because they hate Crowley.

But the villain who showed up, possessed Sam, viciously killed Sam and Dean's then-extended hunter family? That's not the same girl in S8. Some of that is character development, but some of it seems like a completely different character.

This is a completely accurate statement, but that's because the show is different in S8 than in S1. The universe and plot of the show have changed so drastically that they may as well be different shows entirely with some shared familiar names. Some people are okay with that, and some people are noticeably not. Those that aren't tend to remember the characterization in S1, and think it's too big for five shoddy episodes to overcome.
