Fandom Characterisation Vs Canon Characterisation
Ok, normally if I feel a rant coming on, I sleep on it, but I have had a hellish day! David was going to take me out for a meal tonight to my favourite hotel, but he has a cold. IM has been down for me all day and I cannot talk to my friend. So I am not happy!
Yet again I am out of step with another fandom in my vision of characterisation of a character. This time it is Supernatural and Sam.
The fandom characterisation of him is that he is the talker, getting his feelings out, and soul bearing! Where the hell does that come from?
Take Bloody Mary, where, despite Dean pressuring him, he will not tell him everything that happened before Jess's death. It is not until Home that he finally has to come clean. Or that he has demon blood in him, he knows for a year before he tells Dean.
Yes, Dean does see his brother as the caring sharing type, but it is not held up with the story line!
