Jensen Ackles on Supernatural Prequel & Jared Padalecki: "I Messed Up"

"I should've known Jared has the emotional maturity of a child getting her first period. Also, Jared, stay off Twitter"

To me, Jensen will always a homophobic douchebag.

Jared quoting Shakespeare made it worthwhile.

Ackles's explanation is bollocks.

Padalecki had every right to be given a heads-up that Ackles and wife were considering this at the point where they'd just started to think about it, before anything was on paper or anyone was contacted. In other words, before there was anything TO jinx. Are they trying to pretend they didn't mention it to Eric Kripke (Supernatural's creator) at that point? Ackles and Padalecki had lived those roles together for nearly half their lives. What did he think, that Padalecki was going to go out and develop a competing version of the same show? They deliberately excluded him, and that's all there is to be said about it. If they had good reason for that decision, they evidently still haven't told him what it was.

Padalecki's public outbursts are usually out of line, but I can see why he did it here. Kind of, "Well if I'm so totally excluded from your life, I guess I can only get your attention in public."

I thought Ted C. Said they were fucking…back in the day.

Jensen looks rough. He definitely had work done. That's all I have to say.

The big appeal of Supernatural is this great Winchester brotherly bond. Followers of the show want a relationship as tight and as close as the one Sam and Dean had.

I'm too old to realize which one is the older brother (Jensen, I guess?) and so, I'm sure there was all sorts of brotherly protection in the stories (I think I maybe watched one episode all the way through.)

And now, of course, Jensen just goes off and makes this big deal without his 'brother.'

Did he think about the optics? Did he think at all?

r7, he probably went to the SJP school of revamping a show without a critical fan favorite, Both were raked over the coals in public for their selfishness.

Jared Padalecki to Supernatural Fans' Podcast Pushback: "Stand Down"

What a difference a day makes in the world of the Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki-starring Supernatural. Yesterday, we reported that Richard Speight Jr. & Rob Benedict were teaming up with Story Mill Media for the new rewatch podcast series Supernatural Then and Now that's launching on January 24. Each episode includes the cast, crew, and producers offering their behind-the-scenes perspectives on how the episodes made it from the page to the screen, with Ackles and Padalecki appearing in the first two episodes to help kick things off. They even have writer & author Jessica Mason (The Binge Watcher's Guide to Supernatural: An Unofficial Companion) writing the show, so it seemed like a good thing… right? Well, it would appear that we were wrong- so much so that Padalecki had to take to Twitter to ask that his supporters to "stand down"- here's why.

Remember back to November 2020. The show was reaching its end and there was that controversy surrounding the Spanish version of the Supernatural episode "Despair" where Castiel's (Misha Collins) declaration of love to Dean (Ackles) was met with the response, "And I, you, Cas" as opposed to the U.S. version: "Don't do this, Cas". Accusations of corporate pressure along with arguments that the way the entire Castiel/Dean wrap-up was handled fed into the "bury your gays' trope began storming across social media, and the topic was addressed by those associated with the show, who love the show, and who cover the show. One of those people was Mason, who write a piece that month entitled "Fandom Conspiracy Theories Are Just as Dangerous as Others" (which you can read here) where they took issue with those in the SPN fandom, pushing back on what they called, "wild conspiracy theories."

R4 and R7 it's very obvious why Jensen didn't tell Jared about it.

Why, R10?

Yeah why?

because Jared has his own show?

Becuase he's depressed? Why?

R11 and R12 did you not read the first reply?

Unless these two are or were fucking, I don't care.

R14 they weren't.

They certainly lived together for a period of time in Kerrisdale, Vancouver. It wasn't when they first moved to Canada (in fact, Ackles had been filming there for years already), but a couple of years later, so there was no need for it. It doesn't necessarily mean they were fucking: they could've been running a frat house for all we know.

But it does show they were genuinely fond of each other, since they were also working 12-hour days together. Even when they moved their home bases from LA to Austin a decade later, they did it at almost the same time and the houses were jogging distance from each other.

A lot of their fans are crazycakes, but they do at least have plenty of evidence of affection between the pair -- which this most recent story suggests has taken a major dive.

I understand Jared being upset, but there's no excusing venting on Twitter. You're a 40 year old man, not a fucking tween. On behalf of service industry workers everywhere...stop it.

I'll give one plus to whiny baby Jared: he may scream at waitresses and flight attendants, but he gives his kids human names: Odette Elliott Padalecki, Thomas Colton Padalecki, Austin Shepherd Padalecki

Jensen's brood sounds like puppies or scifi characters: Justice Jay Ackles, Zeppelin Bram Ackles, Arrow Rhodes Ackles

Both are the epitome of basic straight white boys along with Chad Michael Murray and James Van Der Veek

They've got nothing on Misha's crotch urchins: West Anaximander Collins, Maison Marie Collins

If they’d just fuck it out, all would be good.

Not these nobodies again. Neither of them are even hot anymore.

R20 never going to happen.
