I will absolutely never be normal about the fact that Jensen had to literally fight for Dean to die standing. Like, he had to FIGHT for it. The man wasn't allowed to have any say in the ending of the character he played for 15 years!!! He had to accept Dean dying. He had to accept the rusty rebar. "Take it or leave it" they told him. And he literally had to fight for Dean to at least die standing, head up high.
As a bonus, Jensen's reactions during the Misha zoom call, and whatever was going on with Jensen and Rich's reactions, were absolutely priceless. (screenshots of this video thread)
