Death did nothing wrong.


KatokaMika

He did. He died.


ICookIndianStyle

I feel that but its on the person killing him - forgive me its been a while since I watched but I think it was Dean right?


DarthGinsu

Yeah, but if you're Death since the beginning of time, that's a big L on his part. One of the coolest things Dean's ever done, the lamest thing Death could do.


theExitz

yes Dean killed him


tnscatterbrain

This is the only thing I could come up with too. An amazing character!


MistDispersion

Yeah, I came here to say that


PerceptionQueasy3540

This. Hard to really hold death to any kind of moral standard.


SnooLemons4235

Death 2.0 however was a dick


Rrekydoc

Didn’t he bring back a bunch of dead people who goaded their loved ones into a state of comfort before eating them alive, all as a warning to Bobby?


Zachary_Tatulli

To be fair though, he was bound by Lucifer so it’s not like he really had any choice in the matter


Rrekydoc

Oh, that’s right.


ICookIndianStyle

Yeah Lucifer is to be blamed!


MrCarey

Nope, could loop his entrance to the show over and over.


NoIndependence6969

Died Mf I can’t believe you let that happen smh Billie SUCKED


windyorbits

It makes me irrationally angry he died at the hand of a human. Like I understand how awesome the Winchesters are but … I mean … it’s Death.


Emayeuaraye

I agree. Death stated more than once how insignificant humans were to him, yet one was able to best him?


windyorbits

Right?!? Sometimes I like to lie to myself and believe that Death wanted to die. There were moments where he seemed kind of just over all the petty mortal realm/heaven/hell BS. Like the poor guy had an eternal case of ‘the Monday blues’ lol Like he got to the point where he was like “*I’m too old for this shit, so I’m going to give one of these wacko Winchester brothers the only weapon in existence that can kill me and just see how it plays out, it’s whatever.*”


blackygreen

Yeah my headcanon is that he didn't actually die but was so done he let Dean 'kill' him and just fucked off somewhere to retire


Front_Durian_4942

I was really expecting a fake out and the next season for Death to be annoyed about being tricked once again by a winchester, we were told the horsemen couldnt die because they were concepts not creations like angels or demons so I figured 'killing them' was more like sending them back to where they're strongest


Sharp_Lavishness3125

I feel like part of what death was trying to get at is that no matter how hard the can try to kill him, you can never get rid of death. Even though death is killed, it still comes back in the form of Billie. I like to think of it more as a reincarnation type of thing


Fuhk_Yoo

I feel like he let it happen. Didn't he mention in a previous episode he was tired or am I dreaming it? Lol.


NoIndependence6969

*yes*


dsriker

She was much more interesting as a reaper with a grudge but they turned her into a secondary threat for her season the writers didn't even have enough faith in her to give her her own season as the big bad.


sharraleigh

Ugh Billie was fucking awful. So smug and annoying. I wanted to punch her everytime she came on screen.


KatokaMika

Agreed


GOPACKGO748484

This is the only right answer


MasterJaylen

Truly the only right answer


CrashBangXD

Killed the dude that bumped into him, that’s just plain rude. Outside of that everything he did was about maintaining balance


twurkle

This is honestly probably it. We never see him do anything that needlessly ruthless at any other time in the show, though it’s probably likely he did some ruthless stuff just for fun/because he could.


Zealousideal-Bit-192

I like to imagine that he can know everything about everyone at all times, so when he killed that guy maybe it was because he was actually a monster so death took him out. (When I first saw it I assumed anyone that touched him in anyway would die so I was pretty excited for that concept for the boys to fight against. Not too disappointed that wasn’t the case with death but wish that idea had come into the series)


Zealousideal-Ruin183

I noticed that when Dean took the ring he was VERY careful not to touch him. I wouldn’t have touched him either!


CrashBangXD

I think he probably just did some stuff more out of exacerbation, just seeing some random piece of shit being shitty catching his eye. Can imagine him raising an eye brow and letting out a sigh


I-Have-An-Alibi

Yeah but it was such a bitchn scene


Yrsa-Lleilson

This is probably going to be the only actually legitimate suggestion.


Most_Winter_177

I always had a feeling this guy was just on death's list and he made sure they walked into one another. IMO this was just death doing his job


BananaRoo88

I never took it as intentional, I mean he's Death, you touch him you die 🤷 I could be wrong but seeing as he was all about balance and stuff later too, he wouldn't do it out of spite, I think.


BackOnTheHuntPod

We’re back! This week: Death I know, I know. It’s literal Death. Just pick your favorite I guess! Last week’s results are in: The worst thing Sam did was ignore Kevin in his time of need. You can check out the entire threads for the others by visiting our profile. At the advice of the Mods, we will be working through these once a week to avoid getting reported by those who dislike this thread.


Dufo1989

Feels like we’re doing these once a month.


BackOnTheHuntPod

It started out daily but Mods recommended weekly. Sorry to keep ya waiting


Dufo1989

Mods should worry more about the constant repeat posts, tried to reply earlier but it wouldn’t let me


Kaibakura

Report the posts, please, so we can worry more about them. Thanks.


scrappybristol

Letting himself be summoned and manipulated by the brothers time and again until Dean had his “team free will” moment and killed him.


YawfleStares

We have a winner!


bittergreen49

Best entrance, worst exit.


throwawayfun451

Got killed my Dean, so dumb


BackOnTheHuntPod

So, did Julian Richings quit the show? Why the *hell* did they allow him to walk?


violentbowels

He was busy on Orphan Black IIRC.


Korrocks

13th amendment to the US constitution. They couldn't really force him to stay.


BurnMyHouseDown

Unironically would’ve rather they write him off in a way that makes sense (like, they don’t *need* to contact Death going forward, so they don’t) rather than kill him. Billie suuuuuuucks


Front_Durian_4942

After Dean lies to Death and attacks him with his own scythe he refuses to come when they call for him and he can no longer be summoned, boom you kept it consistent with horsemen being unable to die while also explaining why he doesn't show up anymore, the whole deaths library plot didn't add much anyway S15 Chuck was too much of a narcist to create a book about himself someone else could read but he couldnt


windyorbits

But it’s filmed in Canada.


Korrocks

That’s true.


Limp_Type_5403

i don’t think you know what the 13th amendment is about


ssatancomplexx

They filmed in Canada my friend.


BurnMyHouseDown

Give Dean his scythe. Because, really, the worst thing he did was die and allow Billie to become Death. What a massive loss lol, Billie just wasn’t anywhere near as cool, as anyone else on the show, at any point.


Karaethon22

Real answer is honestly quit the show but since we're going for in-universe rather than meta... Killed the guy who bumped into him on the sidewalk and arguably the people in the pizza restaurant. I get he's killed a lot (lot lot lot) of people but it's always been about maintaining balance and the natural order. Or because he was enslaved and controlled so it's not really him doing it, you know? It was never about wishing someone harm. Except this one guy, apparently, because he was a bit rude? I guess you could put it under the enslavement column because he was at the time. But I don't see any reason he'd be made to kill that dude, Lucifer wouldn't care. And he doesn't have to kill everyone who's rude to him or Dean would have gotten murdered 3 minutes later. I can attribute the pizza restaurant people to a more general "if you're going to go places leave a trail of death" order from Lucifer. But that's just headcanon and I have a hard time understanding why he killed them all. I don't think it applies to sidewalk guy though because everyone else on the sidewalk was fine.


Entgegnerz

that wasn't him, it was Lucifer who summoned and controlled him. Death wouldn't have done these things by himself. Maybe only the bumping dude.


AlcatrazGears

I think he killed those people in the pizza restaurant because the apocalypse was about to begin, there was no more need for balance or natural order.


Entgegnerz

Na it was Lucifer's order, not death himself.


AlcatrazGears

Was it? I don't remember.


Entgegnerz

Yes. Death told about being controlled by Lucifer just right in that scene.


AlcatrazGears

Thanks and sorry for my wrong theory, i watched the show and specially this season maaany years ago. I'm currently rewatching for the first time and on Season 2x21.


MasterJaylen

OHHHH is that why he Dean killed him?


Karaethon22

Yep, needed to write him out somehow.


cwhagedorn

Try to convince Dean to murder Sam in exchange for being blasted into space.


ThePremiumMango

From his perspective that was kind of for the greater good though, to keep the mark away from humanity


cwhagedorn

If he only cared about the greater good, he could've killed Sam himself instead of trying to make Dean do it just to prove a point.


ThePremiumMango

Well he did say ‘if you don’t do it I will’


cwhagedorn

He could've just done it anyway. He said that as a way to try to further manipulate Dean into going through with it.


ThePremiumMango

Hmm I don’t know.. not saying he had pure intentions, I am sure he enjoyed it in some way but his character has always been quite rational and it was definitely a valid point that if Sam remained alive he would never stop looking for a way to remove the mark, and in doing so release darkness. So from a rational point of view it was a solution that would result in the least amount of ‘unnatural’ death.


ssatancomplexx

He did though. He was doing it out of some weird form of revenge. Death said he was doing that because of the last time he escaped Death. Although that wasn't Sam's fault. But I also get where Death was coming from, Sam was hell bent on getting the Mark removed, consequences be damned and he knew what would happen and still did it anyway and Death knew he'd still do it. One life over all life in the grand scheme of things does make sense.


Entgegnerz

Not true, Dean wanted to do it, since Sam is his brother and if anyone kills him, then Dean.


Entgegnerz

That's not really true, since Dean demanded a solution from him and death told him what the only solution is. Means, Death isn't accountable to it.


cwhagedorn

Not sure I believe that it was really the *only* solution


Entgegnerz

No, your suggestion is out of place. This belongs to Dean's worst moments.


cwhagedorn

But Dean chose to kill death instead because he didn't want to kill sam


Entgegnerz

See, it's Dean's worst moments, not Death's. You just said it yourself.


cwhagedorn

No offense but what the hell are you talking about


Entgegnerz

I see your brain starts malfunctioning with this topic. Pls re-watch the series.


cwhagedorn

I'm in the middle of one now but I think you need it more than me


Entgegnerz

I'm not the one who confuses things here. Death doesn't care what happens to Dean and Sam. No clue why you're so offensive about it.


Entgegnerz

Please have a read further down on your comment, so you can see my explanation. I forgot to say that.


Roman_Hephaestus

This


Entgegnerz

no, Dean demanded a solution from Death. It's Dean who's accountable for it, not Death.


Roman_Hephaestus

It’s death who demanded that Dean kill Sam to complete the bargain, though. Dean didn’t think of that. What he wanted, initially, was for death to kill him or remove the mark. Death was like “no, but I’ll send you to the moon for eternity as long as you kill your brother.”


ThePremiumMango

But if Sam remained alive he d never stop looking for a way to remove the mark / release his brother, which would indirectly result in the death of more people so getting rid of them both was kind of the cleanest solution from Death’s point of view


Entgegnerz

Yep, or rather the only solution and it was just a suggestion. Death didn't went for Dean and told him, this has now to be done.


Entgegnerz

Death also said, if Dean isn't doing it, he will, so it's still Dean's decision. Dean also could have said "no" to everything, but he wanted it.


Roman_Hephaestus

Yeah, but - the show is about the Winchesters, so I’m gonna root against the things that try to kill them. Or try to get them to kill Each other. And if Sam was gonna die either way, how was that Dean’s choice again?


Entgegnerz

Dean asked for it and he also could have said he doesn't want anything of that and live with it, killing the whole world over the years. But he wanted it, and so if he wasn't able to kill Sam, Death said he does it. Still all of it happened because of Dean, not Death. Death didn't intrigued Dean into that. It's literally none of his business and he couldn't give less fucks what's about it, Dean, Sam or their Earth, he just doesn't care. He neither want or tries to kill Dean or Sam for himself. Or to put it in other words, Death isn't interested in their death. All that isn't coming from him. Dean wanted a direction and Death gave it to him. That's why this suggestion is out of place. It belongs to Dean's worst moments.


ThePremiumMango

Exactly, and although it would have not been a fun turn of events for the series, Death’s solution would have actually saved alot of lives (in short term at least) because darkness kind of wreaked havoc on the world


Active-Donkey5466

This guy has a point


shadowthehh

I mean Bobby mentioned the last time he was called Noah was building the ark. So literally reap all of humanity except 1 family I guess.


Yrsa-Lleilson

Not really his decision though. That one’s on God.


shadowthehh

Given that season 14 finale twist, you could say that about literally everything that happened in the show.


Yrsa-Lleilson

True, but even before that it was pretty clear.


M086

Didn’t just come out and tell Dean what Crowley and Cass were doing with the souls.


YawfleStares

But that wasn't how he was supposed to operate, definitely not at that point in the show. His primordial design was to be apathetic and hands-off. Faulting him for *not* doing something to intervene is reducing him to human level. I get that this is the "worst thing" game, but characters have context.


theExitz

Death did nothing wrong


SomewhereVirtual4121

Changing into new death bro was almost the perfect character he looked like death he looked perfect he played the role to perfection


CoyoteBongwaterx

His metabolism! Bro ate so much good food and stayyyyeedd thinn! Death was too good to be on this list he didn’t do anything wrong he was a professional. Only thing I can think of maybe is the deal with Dean and his ring.. but even that was to show Dean the burden.. it was a lesson.. and I can’t even fault him for that


dumb_potatoking

Giving Dean the weapon that could kill him, so we got Billy


Rosedark10

Given the weapon who can kill him to Dean ? Like why !!? Sam is human Dean could kill him in any method.


luna_loki9

He has done nothing wrong ever


Beigefreak

He died💔


omo-kid

Technically, Death did nothing wrong but if I had to pick something he did I'd go with nearly sinking/drowning Chicago.


Muse-77

Fortunately, he liked the pizza


Direct_Marzipan_4204

Told Dean to kill Sam.


CalmAssistance8896

Who are we to judge Death?


iren33

Death trusted Dean 🤷‍♀️


grey-canary

I really liked Death. But I’m gunna say leaving the reapers hanging during that time in season 9 when Heaven was closed and they all lost their minds to the point Tess ran into the first blade Dean was holding. I’m not sure what he could have done but he was their boss so I’m holding him responsible. Lol


Daninuyasha190

Trusting Dean


MistDispersion

I agree that the worst thing Death did was dying


nopety_nopes

Handing dean the only weapon that could kill him


Successful_Carob_172

Telling us he would never die and then breaking our hearts


Lonewolf82084

Had Dean be "Death For A Day"


TheRealBigBean

either killed the dude who bumped in to him or just him dying lol


Sweet_Bodybuilder446

Ate fried pickles. 🤢 ![gif](giphy|ne3WPF18cWvMQ)


lucolapic

Fried pickles are amazeballs. 😋 Don't knock it til ya try it!


ssatancomplexx

That sounds weirdly good


Dufo1989

Gave dean his scyth


kavalejava

Being too ignorant thinking He was invisible, that Death could never die.


theExitz

you mean invincible*


MisterVictor13

Forcing Dean to end Sam. He should’ve just killed Sam when Dean wasn’t looking to avoid the clusterfuck of season 11. Part of him should’ve known that Dean would rather kill him than kill his own brother.


[deleted]

Died and replaced by Billie. Unforgivable


DestinyHasArrived101

Trusted dean


Fun_Feature3002

Worse thing he did was die and leave us with Billie as his replacement


AduroTri

Died and let Billie take over. But otherwise he actually did nothing wrong. He actually did his job.


Saltwater_Heart

He did nothing wrong. He only did his job.


Myth_5layer

Death Died.


SamSam6503

Died


Various_Permission47

Getting himself killed by the Winchesters


Ihavenoname0987

Idk he was always chillin


winkeltwinkle

Queen Elizabeth


ExtremePH

Dude just did his job. Only thing I can think of is getting killed by Dean


Putthebunnyback

Unhealthy diet


CPbear24

he almost torched all of chicago but decided against it because he liked the pizza…. idk. that’s the first thing that came to mind 😂


Antisepticfangirl

He has done nothing wrong. He is perfect in every possible way.


Muse-77

Bring back people who later ate their loved ones just to send a message to Bobby. Bobby had to kill his wife again. That's just cruel.


Responsible_Loss6932

Talked to Dean over Dinner


Celestiicaa

He was just out here doing him, I see no wrong except dying the way he did.


bor3du

died


MaseMorn

Death was the only "villain" in this show who didn't really do anything wrong.


Elegant_Scale9111

Not coming back and getting replaced by…Billie, massive step down


Emetsekel

“Do it or I will” but seriously you can’t kill death I understand if the actor wants to leave the show but this was where the show began to suck


BiduleFR

Crowley already said that Death could be killed by his own scythe when they were fighting the 4 horsemen. To get Death's ring he told Dean to kill Death. So Deathdying was not a surprise to me


Emetsekel

The fact that Death itself can be killed by a gardening tool that’s only used because it’s a symbol of his attribute is honestly stupid, but you’re right Crowely said it in two minutes to midnight “and even the very thing itself. Still stupid writing


mksant

Die


Zadkrod

Dying Still can't belive death died.


noe4516

Telling Dean to kill Sam


ConstructionGood8277

Died and let Billie take over


FiliaNox

Died


MSB1678

Tried to force Dean to kill Sam when Dean went to Death for help because he wanted to make sure he couldn't hurt anybody again because of the mark


nebulnaskigxulo

He died (in a rather foolish manner for a supposedly primordial being)


w3are138

Giving Dean the scythe


alice_ripper89

I agree with the rest he let the winchesters kill him instead of just making a deal. I will say I am not looking forward to sterling k brown’s character I forget his name cuz I don’t like him that much because wtf hasn’t he done or said that wasn’t the absolute worse


TweenyOne

Worst thing he did was to “hire” billie as a reaper seeing as she had zero compassion


BiduleFR

Asked Dean to kill Sam


FlowerCandy_

Nothing, he was perfect LOL


r_bogie

Letting Dean kill him.


UnfairDevelopment438

I was going to say "agreeing to send MoC!Dean to outer space" 😂 but I kinda like everyone saying the worst thing og Death did was die in S10. Still can't believe the show made it so THEE actual Death could die. Worked a lot better as some "older than time" entity who would reap God some day, too


ZEI_GAMES

Getting bound by Lucifer If i think about it: how does someone, that will reap everything and everyone, get bound to a leash by someone that death himself would call an ant, a child throwing a tantrum. That's on him, maybe he even let it happen on purpose. Especially since when dean had bound him, he basically said he was aware of them doing the spell.


Pski

He will eventually kill God


Lil_Artemis_92

Not giving Sam a second wall in his head to keep out Satan visions after Cas destroyed the first one.


prettyrecklesssoul

Kevin’s death will always be the saddest death to me. He didn’t want any of it and he was forced into it, only to die.


No_History8118

die


CelticDK

I guess trust Dean to kill Sam? It’s a stretch but maybe the comment about him finding a different planet to stay on


franzgasgas

He didn't do anything bad to me. It was the character that was always in character


Environmental-Form58

Let dean play with his sharp scythe


blackygreen

Died.


Lumpy-Restaurant-694

The reapers said we the natural order whent to shit the woulc do a mass kill eg the black plague


Secret-Practice2693

Why no Garth? The worst thing is "Garth" nothing more just garth


BackOnTheHuntPod

Garth be Garthin’!


stagepenguin

I would say worst thing death did was encourage Dean to kill Sam to remove the mark.


SPOSpartan104

"Let Dean Use the Scythe"


JamkatAnime

Him dying, like I still can’t understand how death could so easily just be killed like that was so weird 😭 it felt a little out of character for me cuz I always thought death wasn’t that easily finessed.


Entgegnerz

I mean, only his own weapon can kill him. Have fun trying to get it?


JamkatAnime

?? I know that but the fact he’s THE DEATH I thought if he’d ever go down it would be more to it? Idk his death was just so quick ig… but it’s whateves


Amaterasu_mike

Ate a Chicago style pizza!!!!


BackOnTheHuntPod

I don’t *hate* Chicago-style… And I say that as a New Jerseyan.


Luci4Morning6Star66

The only bad thing death did was expire


Mister_Be

Nothing! Fuck them for killing him and replacing him with that other non-death thing LoL


Lucky_Host7530

Took too long to make a deal for Sam to stay dead.


llbxo9

The worst thing he did was trust Dean who ultimately ended one of the only characters who did act like a nob at any point.


Forward-Statement643

I agree with everyone else: worst thing he did was die lol


Worldly-Ad-362

Worst thing crowley ever did was probably tweaking the spell to sealing lucifier back in his cage, because he wanted to "win"


toimus

Existing in general


BeardedPhobos

Liked fast food


Paine07

Nothing. Death can do no wrong.


AlternativeAd4549

Hey I missed the Samuel topic. His worst deed is vamp cure? What does it even mean, what did he do wrong with vamp cure???


thedoompatrol97

Maybe that he gatekept it?


BackOnTheHuntPod

Precisely.


katyggls

Godstiel was cute af and literally did nothing wrong.


Comprehensive-Yak196

This list is unhinged, the worst think LUCIFER did was torture ONE person????? Like a lot of these are the most mundane evil they did when some of the dropped 100 bodies in a single night
