Top 10 Saddest Deaths in Supernatural
You've been there. On the edge of your seat, eyes wide, heart pounding, watching an episode of Supernatural unfold. You've invested in the characters, you've followed them through thick and thin, and you've felt a genuine connection with their fictional lives. And then it happens: a death that leaves you reeling, a loss that hits you right in the feels.From tragic heroes to lovable side characters, the creators of Supernatural have mastered the art of emotional storytelling, and the characters' deaths often become significant milestones in the series. Whether they've sacrificed themselves for the greater good, met an untimely end, or simply found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, these moments have resonated with fans all over the world.
But why does it hit so hard? Is it the excellent writing? The skillful acting? Or is it something deeper, a connection with these characters that transcends the screen and reaches into our own human experiences of love, loss, and grief?
My poor, lesbian, nerdy wife didn't have to die. Why did the writers take her so soon? And why did they make her funeral in the next episode so depressing?
She should never have died. I loved her. She was my favorite female character. I poured my eyes out during that episode.
"Hey, do you notice anything a little bit off about Dean lately? Between you and me, I'm a little bit worried about him." - Kevin Tran
Those were his last words.
He. Was. Taken. Too. Soon.
In the scene where he's experiencing his last memories, and they are of the boys having a normal life, or any time when he refers to the brothers as his own, it just breaks my heart.
That was the saddest moment, especially when the boys faded away in the scene.
I bawled like a baby when he died.
She may have been a jerk and all, but she had a reason. She was sexually abused, and the poor girl was eleven when she sold her soul. She still had to run from her home and acted selfishly when she was really trying to make the most of her time.
Sam and Dean were bigger jerks to many other characters and got those people killed, yet everyone loves them. Doesn't she deserve more?
I see a theme here. She was clever - on the cursed rabbit's foot episode, she lost a bunch of money when they had to burn the rabbit's foot to save her life - but Bela picked Dean's pocket, lifting the 10 grand in scratchers Dean had bought when he had the rabbit's foot.
He was a jerk and horrible to his kids as they grew up, but he ultimately sacrificed himself for Dean.
People usually group her death with her mother's, but it was different because she died before the place exploded. Poor girl.
Are we going to forget how Dean held him and cried? Or how in the next episode he sold his soul to bring him back?
I've seen that episode four times, and every time I'm reduced to a pile of tears.
She held her dead daughter in her arms and killed herself to save Sam and Dean.
The Newcomers
Sam and Dean had been fighting all season and a bit before, and Sam had basically disowned him. After trying so hard to defeat Metatron, Dean died in Sam's arms.
The worst part is what happened afterward with Crowley.
Is no one going to bring up Meg Masters? Seriously, she was just a teenage girl who had a demon ride around in her meat suit, watching it slaughter people in front of her.
When she died, lying on the ground choking on her own blood, being cared for by the ones who shot her, stabbed her, and threw her off a building, that was incredibly sad!
She was such a nice demon, and her last words were, "Go save my unicorn." She was referring to Cas. She saved all of them and deserves more credit. This made me cry for hours.
Just when I started liking him, he died wanting to do the right thing. For a moment I thought he was going to be a regular.
The time when he basically killed himself to save the world from Lucifer.
He died so much we had to clarify which season he died in.
Supernatural humor has always been a little juvenile, mostly because Dean is the only consistently funny character.
Crowley was actually witty, but he could go cold as ice on a dime. It was invigorating. I also loved the British accent.
He took his own life to save everyone else, to trap Lucifer in the other world. I sobbed for hours.
She deserved so much better. She and Sam were going to be so happy together, I just know it.
Her death was what started her children on the horrible path of being hunters.
The first time he died and the first time we saw Hell.
I cried every time I thought of him. He should be number 1.
Cas is and was such a lovable character. I was super attached, so it completely broke me.
It's just that... he was dead for so long. I thought we'd never see him again.
The heartbreak on his face as God! Cas stabbed him. I will never be able to unsee it.
She was so cool. I didn't like it when she tried to get the boys to stay in Heaven, but I was glad she was in metal band Heaven.
Of all ways to die, he was killed by his friend who was like a brother to him. I don't care if it wasn't the real Bobby.
Why doesn't anyone ever mention this angel? Not only was he the most adorable character, but he was also one of the few good angels. He died because he was forced to tell the King of Hell information he didn't even know he knew.
He deserves to be brought back. He deserves to be in the top five at least!
His wit was so sweet. It was one of the few episodes that I found Castiel utterly loathsome.
