Having to choose between her twin brother who nonetheless abandoned her for eons and the human who listened when the stakes are so high can't be an easy decision even for a being as powerful as Amara, and it may come down to the little variables that decide how her story goes and ends in these final episodes of Supernatural. So I like that she's in this difficult place now at the end of 15 where she's having to choose. So I feel like she's always felt sort of an allegiance to him. I mean, even back in Season 11 when he was conflicted about it all, he still listened and he gave her a place to to kind of voice what she was feeling. Who could really judge her for that in the grand scheme of the show, considering everything else we've seen siblings do for each other over the years on Supernatural?Īnd I think that they left her in a very interesting place where she's sort of having to choose between her twin, her brother, and Dean, who is the only like person that she's really felt has understood her and has given her a chance and has really listened to her. That said, Season 15 revealed that Amara and God are not only siblings, but twins, and she feels a natural allegiance to him. Since Amara debuted as a destructive entity known as "The Darkness" who opposed God, it's not altogether surprising that she came across as a villain. And I like that even though she is not particularly fond of him right now, she still feels sort of an allegiance to him. It's not black and white as to who is good and who is bad. And I like that this season they're making it even more gray. And there's no one explaining to her why she had to spend eons, you know, locked up in some cave, box, whatever. And she felt like she wasn't listened to and you know, here she is looking for the only the only other being that she has a familial connection to and he's nowhere to be found. But what I really connected to in Amara is that the reason that she was doing horrible things is because she was feeling misunderstood. I like what they've been doing this whole season where, our understanding in Season 11, at least to everyone on the outside, is that Chuck is good and Amara is bad. Emily Swallow, who also starred in Haunting of the Mary Celeste just in time for Halloween, shared how she views the relationship between God and Amara, saying:
