amberdreamsThe thing is – the Winchester brothers were ordinary.
Ordinary kids who were born and brought up into tragedy and learned to deal with it. Ordinary men who lived and died in extraordinary times, and were brought back, over and over, because they were expected to do extraordinary things.
Their pain was real. Their growth and hard-earned wisdom was real. They learned the hard way that they could only rely on each other, that just about every friend they made either betrayed them or died. Their losses were real, their grief was deep and lasting.
They are the heroes of their own story because they turned the ordinary into extraordinary, and because the cost is visible.
No writer should be able to turn around and take that away.
