Breaking this off into a new thread because it’s kind of a different topic-

Dumbed down how?

This is open to anybody who has a theory because I’ve seen it a bunch of times but I don’t really get it.

I guess the biggest argument is that they didn’t find their way back alone? Which dis easily refuted because they’ve been catapulted into the Bad Place so hard that they lost consciousness… it makes sense that they didn’t turn up right next to the nifty little portal and had to find their way back… plus they got overwhelmed by Dark Kaia but we don’t know her powers yet so arguing against this also doesn’t really make sense?

The issue is /some/ people think anyone else being half decent at hunting diminishes the accomplishments of their precious Sam and Dean. So basically noone can do anything well or it’s an INSULT! I mean it’s not like the original badass hunter was John, who we saw learned it all after Mary died and all the others like Bobby, Rufus etc, that the boys were kinda crappy on their first few hunts and would have been totally lost without the journal, hence the idea in the show that a good moral ethic, learning and growth is the key part to hunting and they’ve just had a ton of experience now on top of having the journal and now a whole secret library of lore to help. Claire’s been learning to hunt for a few years, they even established she’s been hunting alone last year to prove this point.

It’s not like they’re writing Claire as single handedly stopping the pre ordained apocalypse either to diminish Sam and Dean’s accomplishments, they just wrote her as using her experience and a gun to take out a couple of werewolves and yeah, still getting beat up in the mean time, just as Sam and Dean have many times.

But oh no it’s still an insult. PUH lease.

The bottom line is that they are grasping at straws trying to find a reason to rationalize hating on WS because they were counting on Claire to “take out the thing that killed her father,” and they’ve had a hate on for her since Kathryn posted that “My Two Dads” Tweet.
