in terms of his fighting style, Castiel is designed by heaven to be a killer. His fighting style is brutal, quick, and efficient. Disorient your opponent and kill them as quickly as possible.
Now, as a being, Castiel is capable of an intense amount of love, and he’s a very complex and layered character, but in a fight, he doesn’t hold back and will use any resources available to him to come out on top. Like, the choreography from this scene – the angel that Castiel is fighting has two swords, and a weaponless Cas manages to overpower his opponent and when he can’t reach his sword, he fucking hurls him out a window. By separating his opponent from both the swords, the other angel knew he didn’t have a chance of taking on Cas and fled the scene, rendering Cas the winner. He’s also used this tactic in 5×01. 5×18 and 6×20 are other fights where he’s able to dispatch his opponents with relative ease.
However, those were all fights where Castiel had the upper hand to begin with, or fights that were more or less equally matched. Castiel has also been in plenty of conflicts where his odds were not good. Castiel doesn’t particularly fear death; the saying ‘death before dishonor’ is really fitting for him. Even when he doesn’t have the upper hand in a conflict/confrontation, he’s always willing to put himself into the direct line of fire for the causes and people that he cares about. In 7×21, Hester is advancing on Dean and Castiel deliberately steps forward and draws her attention in a 180. We see this sort of behavior again and again – 5×03 and 7×23 being notable examples where Castiel’s chances of coming out of a fight alive are fairly low. In 4×16, his fight with Uriel also has a similar undertones.
what these types of fight scenes tell me about Cas: doing what he thinks is right is really important to him, even if it means death or injury – it’s everything to him. In these types of fight, Cas is willing to take the hits, if it means protecting the people he cares about, and if it means that his cause has a chance of prevailing over the cause of his enemies.
tl;dr his fight scenes tell me a lot and I get really emotional about them
How exactly does forcing your son to raise his younger brother, leaving them alone for weeks on end in shady ass motels, making his older son feel as though his life means nothing if he isn’t taking care of his younger brother AND verbally and physically (as is implied) abusing them, raising them right. He didn’t raise Dean and he didn’t raise Sam. He trained them. That’s it.
I was talking with my friend Tim-Tam tonight, filling him in on this season of Supernatural, since he hasn’t watched a while.
And I realized I didn’t know what Dean did with Death’s scythe. I mean, aside from KILLING HIM WITH IT.
Did they just toss it in a heap with the leftover queso?
Did they not take it with them as they fled?
Because Death had said he was going to reap God, presumably with that scythe. Wouldn’t that come in super duper handy in trying to fight God’s own sister?
Thor’s hammer would also come in handy, I reckon, but I think Sam put that back in the knickknack pile at that auction a few seasons ago.
Well…they acted like the First Blade was a big deal but they dropped it out of the plot near the end of last season. Who even knows where it is? You’d think maybe it would have something to do with Amara since it only worked in conjunction with her power. I doubt they’ll bring that up again either.
