The Winchesters: 8 Burning Questions From Supernatural That The Spin-Off Needs To Answer
The CW’s Supernatural will try its hand at another spin-off in the form of The Winchesters, which will be about John and Mary Winchester’s adventures before the birth of Sam and Dean. Since the pair were supposed to be out of the hunting life at the time, fans have many questions over how the spin-off will present its story.
Moreover, there were quite a few unresolved plot points in Supernatural relating to John and Mary that need to be answered and The Winchesters is the best place for that resolution to take place. It’s worth looking into the pressing questions that the majority of fans are sure to have as a way of recapping the most important points to remember.
Henry Winchester is a character that the Supernatural spin-off needs to feature because of the impact his absence had on John’s life. It was revealed that he was transported to 2013, leaving his young son thinking that his father had abandoned him.
The Winchesters should answer how John’s upbringing was a result of Henry missing from his life, seeing as the spin-off is set to heavily depict John’s childhood. It can also touch upon the implication that John had a stepfather, which is another question that Supernatural fans have long wanted to see answered.
John showed up in the future in the fourteenth season, where he proved why he was the character with the best fighting ability in Supernatural when he held off both his sons at the same time. It brought up questions whether John or anyone else in the past had seen time travel happen before.
Castiel is someone who can be a candidate that qualifies since he’s an angel who can time travel and could also have wiped John and Mary’s memories of him. Sam and Dean had met their parents in earlier seasons through time travel, but the spin-off can confirm if there were others who had done the same.
A cupid claimed that the longest-held plan for the Winchesters in Supernatural was the pairing of John and Mary, which was a top priority. It was because Dean and Sam had to be born to be Michael and Lucifer’s vessels, with the cupid claiming John and Mary originally hated each other until the cupid made them fall in love.
However, everything Chuck promised has since been revealed to be a shame, which has made many fans wonder if John and Mary’s love was natural rather than forced. Even if the cupid’s involvement is real, it should be depicted in The Winchesters to leave no doubt over how the pair became lovers.
It’s anyone’s guess what John and Mary had to argue about when they were married since John was a depressed man still in love after Mary’s death two decades later. And yet, a Season 5 episode showed Dean remembering that Mary and John had some issues when Dean was still a toddler.
It’s never been revealed just what the problem was that got so big between John and Mary that he went away from home for prolonged periods of time. With The Winchesters presumably going on long enough to show the couple’s marriage, the reason can finally be revealed to fans.
Azazel showed up in 1973 when he took possession of Samuel and slaughtered Mary’s family, forcing her to make a deal to resurrect John that cost Mary her life a decade later. With The Winchesters set around this time, Azazel will be very much alive and active.
He was said to be searching for ways to release Lucifer from the cage for many years until he figured it out in 1972, which means he will be playing the waiting game during The Winchester. Fans love this Supernatural villain despite all the evil acts he committed and quite a lot have questions over what his purpose is during his period of waiting.
Among the questions that fans have had for the longest time, Supernatural didn’t get around to showing the event over its fifteen seasons. The earliest the couple was shown was when they were already together in 1973, which is when Dean traveled back in time to meet them.
The Winchesters has to depict their first meeting for the fact that it was a momentous occasion that led to Dean and Sam’s birth and the future of the universe. There has been endless speculation over how they came across each other, so the spin-off needs to deliver on this aspect.
This question might be answered when The Winchesters might be coming to an end or if the show decides to use the flash-forward technique to tell its story. It was Missouri who showed John the world of the supernatural and he learned about Mary’s past through her.
However, it wasn’t revealed how John came to know about Missouri, seeing as he had no contacts or resources to be aware of a powerful psychic such as her. The Winchesters can answer this question by confirming if John or Mary had any prior connections with psychics before Mary lost her life.
It might be a long shot for the future versions of John and Mary to appear, but anything’s possible when it comes to Supernatural. Within the series, John’s status as a spirit was left unresolved until the fourteenth season, where Castiel confirmed he and Mary had reunited in Heaven.
The Winchesters can go about depicting their reunion since it’s a moment that fans would have loved to see. It will also answer what qualifies two people to be considered as soul mates and where both John and Mary’s souls were before they got together, as they were missing before that.
