The Supernatural spinoff series, The Winchesters, Paid off a prophecy about the Impala 13 years after it was made Supernatural. After 15 successful seasons, Supernatural came to an end in 2020, much to the disappointment of his dedicated fans. however, In 2021, a Supernatural spinoff series called The Winchesters was releasedFollowing the story of John Winchester and Mary Campbell in an alternate continuity, how they fall in love while fighting monsters in the search for their missing fathers. unfortunately, The Winchesters was canceled after only one season, following a disappointing trend seen with other cancellations Supernatural Spinoffs.
As a series based on traveling across America to hunt monsters, Supernatural Had to have an iconic car, which was a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala affectionately called "Baby.” The Impala was purchased by John Winchester in 1973, and eventually passed down to Dean sometime before the season 1 pilot. Dean uses the Impala over Supernatural And it became an integral part of the showEven described as "The most important object in almost the entire universe"By God in season 5. After Dean Winchester's surprise return in The WinchestersThe prophecy paid off.
The Winchesters truly made the Impala the most important object in the universe
The Impala was the only thing that could defeat the Acrida
The Winchesters made the impala the most important object in the universe, as it was the only thing that could defeat one of the Supernatural's Most terrifying monsters, the Acrida. in the Supernatural Spinoff series, John and Mary are faced with a strange insect-like monster that is a danger to all existence. The Acrida were created by God as a failsafe to wipe out creation and are not from Earth. They put an extreme threat in The Winchesters As John and Mary run out of ways to fight the strange creatures, until Dean Winchester shows up in his beloved Chevrolet Impala.
The Acrida are defeated by Mary driving the Impala into the Acrida Queen Because the creature can only be killed by something not of this world, and as Dean came from the multiverse, the Impala is not of The Winchester Universe. This is the second time that the Impala has saved the world. Being one of the few constants in Sam and Dean's life, despite Supernatural's Big changes, the Impala and its memories help Sam Winchester break free of Lucifer's possession long enough to throw himself into the cage with Michael, in Supernatural Season 5, Episode 22, "Swan Song."
Why Supernatural's impala deserves to be considered a character in its own right
Baby is an important part of the show
of course Supernatural's Impala deserves to be considered its own character because the car has helped define the show so much Supernatural Wouldn't be the same without it. Dean's affection for the car is evident as he calls it "Baby"And often threatens people who might hurt it, including his own brother. Dean's protective attitude shows that the car is important to himProbably because it belonged to his father, and it also served as Sam and Dean's home when growing up on the road. God even talks about their childhood in the Impala Supernatural's "Swan Song":
These are the things that are important: the army that Sam put in the ashtray, it's still there. The Legos that Dean shoved into the walls, to this day there is heat, they can hear them knocking. These are the things that make the car very, very very.
The Impala is featured heavily in Supernatural And had two different license plates, but not much else has changed, even with Dean having to rebuild it a few times due to damage. Dean's car was so important to him that in season 11, there was even an episode called "Baby," which was told from the Impala's point of view, and, in Supernatural's finale, The Impala makes it to heaven alongside the Winchesters. Supernatural's Impala is an iconic car, but it's also an important character, so it was fitting to complete his Supernatural Prophecy in The Winchesters.
