I told destielintheimpala on Twitter earlier today that I’d come up with a worse way for 10×22 to end before I’d even finished crying over the episode. Imagine if we had to wait a whole week to find out if Castiel was alive or dead…

Crappy design on this fight. Dean is powered up by the mark, but Cas is an angel. They should have been evenly matched. Dean could still win, but at least make Cas a worthy opponent, or at least tell us it’s canon that he is human.

This is why Steve and Bucky’s fight in CATWS remains my favorite, because they were so evenly matched and neither was able to easily best the other.

Except that it’s unfair to compare those two scenes because they’re so totally different.  Steve vs Bucky was a fight – this was Dean beating Cas up.  If you watch this scene again, you will realise that we never ever see Castiel fight back.  The only time he raises his hands is to block Dean’s blows.

According to reports from JIB Con that’s because it was deliberately choreographed that way:  while in the original script it was an actual fight scene, neither Misha nor Jensen thought that Cas would fight back.

The fight scene between Dean and Cas in the original script was an actual “fight scene” between the two but then they changed [x]

Misha said the fight scene between he and Dean was intense. They choreographed it so that Cas wouldn’t fight back. [x]

jen&mish changed it from just “a fight” last ep to “Cas won’t fight back bc he doesn’t want to hurt Dean” [x]

“Cas didn’t fight back because he was trying to help Dean, not hurt him.” [x]

“beating down dean isn’t helping, and cas really wanted to help dean. that’s why he didn’t fight back.” [x]
