The reason ‘Sam has to be the one to stop the darkness’ is because Dean literally cannot defeat her. He’s admitted he can’t. He lets his guard down when he’s around her. She had a hold on him. He literally cannot defeat her. That’s the reason it has to be Sam. Sure Dean can and will help but in the end it’s going to be Sam who defeats her.

deanisdarkness:

Your ask boil downs to this- Dean said he can’t defeat her, Dean
can’t overcome her influence and only Sam can defeat her.(btw nice
circular reasoning you have going on here with your repeated use of the
phrase “Dean literally cannot defeat her”. But I’ll give you the benefit of doubt there.)

Dean said he can’t defeat her –Dean has zero self-esteem. He
also has a very shitty support system. So its no surprise that Dean
doesn’t believe in himself. So you can’t take Dean’s words as truth
here- especially when it’s known that Dean often thinks very little of
himself. Also, Dean admitted to his “weakness” regarding Amara after Sam planted that seed of doubt in his mind in episode “Love hurts”.

Dean can’t overcome her influence–

Dean is bound to Amara, yes, but Dean stabbed her, tried to kill her,
and if she is still alive – its not bc of Dean’s lack of trying.  
Actions speak louder than words.

Dean overcame her influence in mid-season finale so there is no reason
to think that he wouldn’t be able to do it again in future.

Dean
bore the mark, he was the lock and the key to the Darkness’ cage and
this places him in an unique position. If the bond is a two-way
street(there is no reason why it can’t be) then, it also means that Dean
can influence her in some way- this could work in his advantage. Sam has no connections to the whole Amara SL and has no advantage whatsoever.

Only Sam can defeat her –If Sam can fight devil and win, then
there is no reason why Dean can’t do the same with darkness. Dean was
shown to be far more stronger than Sam ever was, Dean was also an
archangels true-vessel, so it would fit if Dean fought and stopped Amara
with Sam’s support- reverse Swan song style. Sam doing another
swan-song when Dean sat sideways- would make terrible storytelling.

So to conclude no, Sam doesn’t have to be the one to stop the
darkness. The show could easily go with Dean being the one SL, for a
change. But don’t worry, with the
writers we have, and with the blatant Sam bias on the show, you’ll
probably get your “Savior Sam/helper Dean” finale. 

i dont get why they thinks its a good not changing the BD but still portraying as horrific is a good idea. not changing it but showing at has a good/not that bad thing? ok i dont like but makes sense, at least manipulate me into thinkings this is desirable thing but asking me to regonize its toxic but accepts continued existence?? on what type of story and lack of development is this planning on showcasting in the next 2-3 or more seasons

Kripke era, s1–5: Simple and very attractive concept: The brothers love each other, look out for each other and take risks for each other. Willing to make demon deals for each other, but also willing to let go of each other to save innocent people/the world. Your basic intense attachment between two heroic characters. Tried and true, the basis of every cop/buddy show/movie from the last 5–6 decades.

Gamble era, s6–7: The brothers are pretty much united against the world (when there’s not something wrong with one of them). Willing to go to great lengths for each other, but the bro bond isn’t really explored or tested in the same way. It’s a relief really.

Carver era, s8–11?: Here’s where the issues start. Carver wants to complicate the show’s core relationship, test it, ask uncomfortable questions about it. He keeps putting it under stress and trying to force the viewers into incrementally more weird, contorted positions regarding it. The brothers ditch other people in their lives (Benny, Amelia) to maintain their unhealthy, too-close clinging to each other, they endanger countless civilians/the whole world (by not closing the gates of Hell, by releasing the Darkness and killing Death) to save each other, they even betray and violate each other (Gadreel, Book of the Damned)… It was an interesting idea to explore for maybe one or two seasons, but after almost four seasons of this, the bro bond has turned into the biggest bad on the show. The storyline doesn’t hold up for this kind of prolonged stress and it’s killing the show.

Dabb?? era? s12?–?? Could it be time for a new showrunner? Carver has a new show to run, and while it’s apparently not unheard of to manage several shows at once, second-in-command Dabb is writing this season’s finale. Hmmm???? Maybe time for a new take on the brothers’ relationship?

what can i say? NOT wait and see. NO, thanks. BYE

minorkeepsakes:

Dean is in such denial about his own role in stopping Amara. I think deep down, he knows he’ll have to face her, and it will be up to him to stop her. But my god, this poor boy is so sick of having his will tested, and he just wants to be able to lean on someone else for support for once instead of having to muster all of the strength from within. It’s just so heartbreakingly unfair. 

Slight wank ahead! You are warned…

Am I the only one getting bored of hurt!sam? I mean seriously, I’m not even the slightest bit worried about him, they’re probably gonna kill Billie off to save Sam and it reminds me of how emotionally/mentally warped Dean is about “looking out for his brother”, at least more so than normal. I’m just sighing waiting for the same old protocol for this type of episode to be over…..
