Supernatural Focused on the Wrong Villain for the Final Season

I’m almost done with the final season of Supernatural, and while I am enjoying some parts of the story, the main villain really did ruin my excitement for the final journey of the Winchester brothers. I feel that the villain choice they selected for the final season was a really bad idea…for multiple reasons. 

I want to be respectful here, and not say who it is, because a lot of people out there would probably have a huge problem with it. I was one of them, and I also had a huge issue with this storyline too. 

It came off so disrespectful, and I can’t believe that the writers would dare to stoop that low. 

In my opinion, the writers were running out of ideas, and instead pissed off a lot of people out there, which led to a lot of mixed reviews of the season. I think they should have focused on this person instead, because it would have been one of the most emotional seasons of the entire show. 

Jack Kline, the adopted son of the Winchesters, should have been the villain for the final season.

Jack Kline is actually the son of the Devil, and is also half human. His character is extremely fascinating, he is a good kid, that only wants to do good. What’s also crazy, is that he is literally a toddler in the show. He looks older, but because his human mother wanted him to be safe, he instantly grew up once he was born. He is a powerful being in the show, and was strongly implied to be the strongest being in the universe. 

Jack was adopted by Sam and Dean Winchester, including their angel friend, Castiel, and the three of them instantly start to view Jack as part of their family. He even views all three men as father figures, and he starts to learn from them, getting a hang of his powers, and how to act like a human. This family bond grows over the course of two seasons, and it pays off so well, watching Jack get so close with his new family. 

He used his powers to protect the Winchesters and his friends, doing whatever it took to save everyone he loved. During season 14, he ends up losing his streak of doing good, once he loses his soul, that made his human side stand out. Jack accidentally kills the mother of the Winchesters with his powers, after snapping at her during a scary confrontation. 

Jack is desperate to prove to the Winchesters that he isn’t evil, but because of his soul being gone, he became unstable. Others that wanted to use Jack for their own personal gain, started to manipulate him, once they found out about his lack of a soul. It also didn’t help that his father, the Devil, started to haunt him, taunting him about killing a good person that didn’t deserve to die. 

He would have been the perfect villain for the final season. 

It would have been so tragic to watch Sam and Dean Winchester battle a child they considered to be their son. It would have been an excellent storyline, knowing that Jack goes from a good person to an unexpected evil one, and it would have been an emotional rollercoaster for both the brothers and the audience. 

The ending could have gone in any direction too, and I’m sure it would have paid off. The show could have ended tragically, with the brothers being forced to kill Jack, or they could have saved him, helping him heal from the trauma he had inflicted upon others, and himself. 

We really could have had a fantastic final season with this villain route!
