John Winchester is a name that all 수퍼내츄럴 팬 know. They know him as the faithful husband of Mary, the woman who sacrificed her life for their two sons and our beloved heroes, Dean and Sam.

John's story starts out pretty normal; parents, family, school. After high school John joined the marines. On returning he meets the 사랑 of his life, Mary Campbell. Before long, against the wishes of Mary's family, they got engaged and married, got a nice cosy 집 together and soon enough, little Dean was on his way.

But things soon go south. Mary is killed 의해 something unknown and he becomes a hunter to track down the thing responsible. He raises both his sons like warriors in order for them to protect themselves when he's not around and at times when he needs assistance.

Years later, the demon is found but before the end, John's life is cut short, leaving his boys alone.

On the outside, the tale of John Winchester is a short and simple one. But under the skin it's full of complex emotions, difficult decisions and dark secrets.

As a long time 팬 of Supernatural, I've had a lot of time to reflect on my own thoughts about John. Sometimes I've loved him, sometimes I've hated him and sometimes, I can't decide.

But deep down, I 사랑 John and I suspect I always have. He's not perfect, but then, who is? He's made mistakes; trained his sons to the extreme, and many times he's let his obsession blind him to everything. But he's also done many good things too. He protected his sons and raised them the best he could, sacrificed his own life so his son could live and has always loved them both unconditionally until the end.
