Supernatural Spoiled Its Biggest (And Unholiest) Twist Back in Season 4
Sam and Dean could put two and two together and figure out who this character really was pretty quickly.
It was not an easy task for the writers of the later seasons of Supernatural to come up with something new in a series that had already shown everything that was possible. In the last episode of season 14, they outdid themselves by making God the main villain and Sam and Dean’s final boss.
This decision unleashed a wave of negativity, and the once popular Chuck became, without exaggeration, the most hated character in the series. According to the fans, the whole thing was a cardinal, unreasonable change in the nature of God.
However, the decision to make Chuck God and pit him against the Winchester brothers was not made on the spur of the moment, as the writers had already hinted at his true nature in season 4.
Chuck wrote the Supernatural series of novels starring Sam and Dean. Before writing, Chuck would get headaches and then fall asleep and have visions. As a prophet, he was under the protection of the Archangel Raphael himself. So if there was any danger to Chuck, the archangel would immediately destroy the threat.
Chuck first appeared in season 4, episode 18 as the author of the Supernatural books. Although Chuck was later recognized as a prophet, his ability to know in great detail what was happening and what would happen seemed too powerful even for a prophet.
Two other prophets, Donatello and Kevin, if they saw any prophecy, it was extremely vague.
Also, neither of the other two prophets had the protection of the archangel himself, unlike Chuck, who always had this protection.
After all, Chuck himself confessed his nature. When Dean and Sam tell him that he's describing events in their lives that haven't happened yet, Chuck replies: “Obviously, I am God.”
But despite the fact that Chuck's transformation into God was the writers' original idea, it's hard to deny that there's a kind of gulf between the God of season 11 and the God of season 15.
His goals, manic tendencies, actions have no clear causes and no cause-and-effect links behind them. Chuck/God of the later seasons feels like a second-rate villain with no motivation and the character of a hysterical child.
Season 15's Chuck is a prime example of a character who fell victim to the writers who later destroyed his image, making him one of the most controversial villains.
