Okay Sam girls! Time to circle the wagons, rally the troops and get behind me on this one. We have a lot of people that disagree with us on this, but hey… if everyone loved Sam, there wouldn’t be enough of him to go around for those of us that REALLY love him.
Today we’re going to discuss the reasons why Sam is better than Dean. Now before you Dean girls reading this take complete offense, this is all in fun (and you got your say, too!)… and we all know the Supernatural fandom is divided. There are those few that will say they’re Sam & Dean girls… but we all know that the scale tips, even a little, to one side.
So, my fellow Sam girls, be ready to add your comments to the list below and sound off now!
Why Sam is better than Dean a numbered list:
We all know that Sam is the one that got great grades even through all the school changes that the Winchester’s went through, he’s the one that we always see behind the computer screen, and he’s the one that actually LIKES to research.
In short, he’s the smart one. Now before Dean’s crowd attacks me for that statement – I am not saying that Dean is by any means stupid. He’s not. But as far as BOOK smart is concerned, especially in the first few seasons, Sam is more bookish than Dean (Dean even says so in “Scarecrow” when he talks about his “trusty side-kick geek boy”).
For those of us girls that prefer our guys dorky and able to speak fluent Latin, well… score one for team Sam.
Did I mention that he’s also REALLY good looking?
Okay, so I had a REALLY hard time working on how to title this point, as I don’t think that Dean is by any stretch MEAN. However, Sam is more tactful, and will actually engage in a conversation in a mature and patient manner while Dean isn’t always the most… eloquent.
How many times have we seen Sam pat Dean on the shoulder and push him off to the side while he takes over a conversation that Dean wasn’t handling in the best way possible? AND – how many episodes has Dean himself has said on numerous occasions that all Sam has to do is give his “puppy dog” look and people will do whatever he wants.
Sam relies more on his people skills while Dean likes to (NOT ALL THE TIME!) rely on his looks.
Score two for team Sam.
Okay, so, this one was a bit sketchy because how in the HELL do you defend drinking demon blood? Well, I’ll tell you. You defend the drinking of demon blood when said person drinking the demon blood really, REALLY thought that he was doing it for good. Sam was willing to more or less turn himself into a monster in order to kill Lilith, which he thought was going to stop Lucifer. So… points for him for that one. It wasn’t HIS fault that a demon lied to him, and he ended up STARTING the apocalypse.
Back me up here Sam girls… this one is a HARD one to defend!!
While Dean will drown his sorrows in a bottle and girls, Sam actually wants to TALK about his feelings. What girl doesn’t love that?
While Dean acts according to what he thinks his dad would want him to do, Sam actually thinks for himself and will even question John’s orders. Or Dean’s orders. Now, while to some this may seem like a punk kid trying to throw his weight around, what it really is is Sam not following someone else blindly.
I know that “family” is the huge theme throughout Supernatural, but there comes a point even in the closest families, when members need to start using their own voices, and that’s what Sam does. Dean even still would follow John’s orders simply because they’re from his dad, regardless of the consequences.
Sam thinks for himself, and while HIS consequences haven’t always been the greatest, at least they are HIS mistakes that he made, and not over an order from his father.
Let’s face it. Sam isn’t perfect. He’s made a lot of mistakes, and his past isn’t the brightest. He’s been selfish, self centered, and always thinks that he knows what’s best for those around him. But he does all of these thing out of the best intentions.
And well, the saying is obviously true that the road to hell IS paved with good intentions, but you have to give the kid credit. Using his powers, drinking demon blood, killing Lilith, and even letting Lucifer ride around in his body; all of these things were to help or save the people he loved.
While he can be a selfish little punk (don’t get me STARTED on his memories in “Dark Side of the Moon”), he really does have a great heart under all that built up angst.
Honestly? Does that REALLY need an explanation? Not saying Dean is slacking in the abs department, but… well, yeah.
Okay girls! I’m going to end this here to give you guys a chance to leave your comments and reasons why Sam is better than Dean below. Be vigilant! The enemy will try to sway us, but we must be strong in our fight.
