![]() ![]() Now that the Twilight films have been done for about 6 years and Supernatural is still running strong, it is easy to say that Dean has become a much cooler figure in the eyes of many. This was a nice reference to how guys had no care for the movie series. In the Season 5 premiere, when Dean had separated himself from Sam due to differences between the brothers that had brought Lucifer back to the world, Dean fought and finished off a vampire but quipped “Eat it, Twilight” before doing the deed. Similarly, Dean wasn’t having any of the Twilight craze this year, either. The Twilight books mainly favored female readers, so there wasn’t any interest from the opposite gender. There was hardly any girl who was familiar with the book and wasn’t completely crazy over the series and the accompanying movies released at the time. In 2009 the Twilight fever gripped the world hard. This screenshot from one of the show’s episodes certainly fits well with the meme. ![]() The Supernatural fandom is wildly ingenious when it comes to employing memes as reactions to certain situations. Making it even more hilarious is the expertly inserted pictures of Sam and Dean themselves below the meme so that it appears as if they sympathize with the poor victim of the insult. His poor disciple has messed up and Gordon insults her by claiming Sam and Dean could hunt demons with beef that has salt in such excessive amounts. Now, Gordon’s outburst in the meme has a more witty sense attached to it. To that end, the only way to vanquish a ghost or a demon is by salting its bones and setting them alight. Sam and Dean use salted rounds on their guns to shoot at ghosts, thereby making them disappear for some time while they scramble for ideas to end its existence. Although the above meme mentions demons, it is ghosts who are most susceptible to salt. While that may sound lame to a non-fan, it is used a lot on Supernatural to great effect. One of the most effective methods of fighting hosts and monsters is using salt. No matter how many times these two bite the dust, they will be coming back to life one way or other. A memorable episode is ‘Red Meat’ where Dean mistakenly assumes Sam has passed away and ends it all in an attempt to bargain with a reaper. Understandably, they are distraught and take any lengths to bring the brother back to life. What never changes is the reaction from the brothers when their sibling happens to pass away. As recently as the 21st episode of Season 13 we saw Sam being devoured by Vampires from the Apocalypse World. ![]() Apart from that, the show has still seen these two meet their end numerous times. That episode was inspired by Groundhog Day and saw Sam trying in vain to prevent Dean from perishing. In just one episode of Season 3, Dean met his end over a hundred times. In order to accommodate this, writers have the heroes perish in one episode only to return to life later. With fantasy shows regularly showing heroes in perilous situations, it would become too unbelievable from the main characters not to bite the dust. The TV landscape requires shows to remain interesting over long stretches of time. That is factual, backed up by every sci-fi or fantasy show that has ever been made. No one remains gone in science fiction or fantasy. ![]()
