Supernatural
Summary
The replenishment forBuffy The Vampire Slayer ’s Watchers inSupernaturalmade one fatal error thatBuffyavoided . While it introduce a few interesting additions to the traditional knowledge , time of year 8 is considered one ofSupernatural ’s bad seasons . This was partly due to thedragged - out storyline regarding the brothers ' falling out after Dean ’s ( Jensen Ackles ) return from Purgatory . That being said , another aspect of the story that fell flat was the time of year ’s chief villain , result in one of the serial ' less popular report .

Buffy’s Watchers Developed More Complex Outlooks On The Supernatural
Buffy The Vampire Slayer ’s Watchers had a more complex and morally ambiguous approach , contrastingSupernatural ’s Men Of Letters . The Watchers , while a exacting organization , had room for individual coming to teach Slayers . Sunnydale ’s Watcher Giles ( Anthony Head)was an representative of this , as he was task with teaching the titular character about the supernatural allot to the Council ’s rules . Despite this , Giles also allowed Buffy to have a personal lifeand developed a strong bail with her , causing him to interrogate the Council ’s methods and call for modification .

Why Supernatural’s British Men Of Letters Didn’t Work As Villains
Their Hypocrisy And Lack Of Nuance Made Them Ineffective Villains
Supernatural ’s Men Of Letters did not work as baddie as their cover obedience and hypocrisy made them seem out of place in the series ' approach shot to the supernatural . Both of these serial are some of thebest paranormal procedural showsbecause of their access to demon and mythology . Each set of heroes was flawed in many ways and most of the monsters they fought were , morally speak , as human as they were . TheMen of Letters ' belief that all supernatural powers must be destroyed because they were all evil made them one - dimensional bad guys , resulting in a less challenging narrative .
Additionally , the Men Of Letters ' use of conjuration inSupernaturalwas a bit hypocritical , lessen their ability to work out as villain . The Men Of Letters practiced magic to carry out their goals , which clashed with their inherent hate of any creature who used it . It made their anger at the Winchesters ' befriending of animate being and use of magical incongruous , as they were doing almost the same thing . That lip service added to the lack of nuance , resulting in the Men Of Letters becoming almost cartoonish and mostly defeated despite their vast resource in time of year 8 ofSupernatural .
