“When the first living thing existed, I was there waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.”
Dean has talked back to demons, gods, all manner of eldritch abominations but with Death, he is apprehensive and visibly shaken. Julian Richings gave a chilling performance as the personification of death.
I stand by the statement that he was one of the greatest character introductions in the history of TV. The music, the slow walk, the effortless display of power, it's just ... perfect.
@@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459 true. I wish SO MUCH, that they had never killed him off and replaced him with Billy. Like what is even Billy. She’s such step down from this Death. She feels like a fake till the very end. They should’ve kept this same death even if they followed the same storyline. This Death as a villain would’ve seriously been chilling.
Death referring to Lucifer as 'a bratty child throwing a tantrum' give a great reference for just _how_ old he is. The strongest of the archangels, the previous right-hand of God, and Death sees him as a spoiled brat.
I think between Lucifer and Michael its a close match. Hence why the battle between them is supposed to be so important that they spend so much time preparing for it.
@@abhisheklama1393 not according to this shows lore. It was stated Lucifer was the strongest and that’s why he received the mark to keep the darkness away. In real life the Bible also says Lucifer was gods greatest angel which is why his fall was so significant. So in any case your wrong both ways with that statement.
@@Angrod98 lol, Chuck says he gave Lucifer the mark because he was his most favourite son, and because he thought he would be able to handle it. Nowhere in the show’s lore was it ever stated that Lucifer is the strongest. The only lore mention is when Bobby shows the two boys a book showing Michael and he tells them it was Michael who cast Lucifer down the first time. Even in Season 5, Castiel tells Dean not to go after Sam because he would only be seeing Michael tearing his brother apart. And it’s quite well established that Michael was the first and oldest archangel. And if you go by original Bible lore, it’s the Seraphims that are the highest class of angels and most powerful. They’re above archangels.
I loved death dialogue especially how he refers to our place in the whole of creation. "This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in a galaxy barley out of its diapers"
"I am old, Dean. Very old. So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you." My favourite quote from my favourite scene of Supernatural. Nothing ever quite had the same tension as Dean having a conversation with Death itself. Over pizza no less.
I believe that this guy could reap God......without a doubt. Such a shame when they killed him off and replaced him. Nobody could follow in his footsteps.
They had to get rid of Julian Richings as Death before he reaped the entire series for himself. It also meta explains why none of these characters can seem to stay dead. Billie just isn't as professional in her duties as OG Death.
For lack of a nail a horseshoe was lost, for lack of a shoe a good horse was lost, for lack of a horse a good knight was lost, for lack of a knight a battle was lost, because of a lost battle a kingdom fell. With the fall of a kingdom the world went dark. For lack of a nail.
Everyone assumes falsely that a being like Death here would kill you for irritating him. The fact of the matter is, you basically can't irritate him. His analogy is exactly right. He could literally just be wherever you aren't if you really somehow irritated him. He has no real reason to kill you because that would cause undue headache for him, as it goes against his purpose. He takes people when they are supposed to die, and he can executive decision not to take them. There's literally nothing stopping him from simply killing everyone instantly, so why would he kill you for back talking him?
@@Bobsmith-xq2pr As death said, he predates humanity by a very long time. He doesn't care if everyone knows about him, much like god in the story doesn't really care about humanity, even though they worship him. He literally just views them as a story to fuck with.
Oh, oh Death Oh Death, won't you spare me over another year? What is this that I can't see, with ice-cold hands taking hold of me? When God is gone and the Devil takes hold Who will have mercy on you soul? Oh, oh Death No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul. Well, I am Death, none can excel I'll open the door to Heaven or Hell Oh, oh Death My name is Death and the end is here...
I don't love Supernatural, and I think most agree it went downhill fast by the end. But sometimes, they would absolutely nail it. This is one of those times.
"Oh, yes. God will die, too, Dean." And then they massacred my guy, not once, but two times. And the second time, when she slaps Dean, they just made a mockery out of Death, at that point. At least Billy was hot, but didn't have the presence of Julian Richings. Though, it would've been funny as hell if Billy caught Dean eyeing "her" female form and just gave him a deadpan stare like "Dean!" Dean quickly meets her eye, knowing he was caught, and "she" just looking at him with a slightly tilted head, like 'Really?'
Thanos might have snapped trillions away into oblivion. But these lives were only the onces who were there at that time. We don't even have a word for the number of lives Death claimed to become one with him.
The best character in the whole show. The end of supernatural being good was the death of death. It was going downhill for a minute but death’s death was truly the end.
I love that death is a foodie,because as foodie who is a personal trainer I’d love to hang out with death “You know I’ll get you one day,you can get as a fast as you want.” I’d be like yea ,but that’s not today and according to the rules,you can’t kill me before my time so eat this jollof rice and tell me what you think🤷🏿♂️
Even a king must recognize the significance of every pawn on the board if they expect to play the game in their favor. I'd expect Death would be wise enough to always be aware of this.
Im so glad this is how i remember Death once i stopped watching after season 5 he gave off the perfect tone of ancient and threatening i have heard and seen some clips of what happens to death in the later seasons and ill just say everything after season 5 is just non canon
I think going into the encounter Dean assumes that Death will act much like the other horsemen, who were just demons given extra powers, and just try to kill him for what was an obvious attempt on his life. I don't think Dean fully appreciated what exactly he was walking into until the scythe returned to Death's side and Death barely acknowledging him. Being told you're going to face Death and actually facing Death are two different things entirely.
I wonder if death meant that he will reap god that he meant that he'd reap chuck who was powerless? Cus iirc death has a book that shows how and when everyone dies but only death can read It. HE KNEWW
You know im contemplating how dean and deaths relationship would be if death was a woman lol. I think that would have been fascinating. Knowing dean it would be hilarious
Not criticizing the show but what is it about death thats so scary to dean? Why isnt he afraid of amara? Lucifer? Death didnt even act on dean violently. Never even touched him
The only character who makes Dean visibly uncomfortable and nervous
I know right?!
Idk. There was that giant talking teddy bear that also made Dean pretty nervous
@@JM-wb8rqthat episode was weird the bear watching porn
Except all the others
It bc he was eating his pizza with a knife and fork ....💀

@ rewatch the episode it was favorite son and because he was the strongest
Imagine just knowing that you had lunch with THE death and came out alive, not once but twice.
3 times if I remember correctly.
Thats because he brough hotdog once
One of the most classy scenes and best acted. Death had an incredible dialogue
I loved death dialogue especially how he refers to our place in the whole of creation. "This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in a galaxy barley out of its diapers"
So many years later and this scene still goes hard.
Out of every monster or god, the only thing that makes him scared is death. Because whenever he chooses to, it’s lights out.
"I am old, Dean. Very old. So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you." My favourite quote from my favourite scene of Supernatural. Nothing ever quite had the same tension as Dean having a conversation with Death itself. Over pizza no less.

Such a shame when they killed him off and replaced him. Nobody could follow in his footsteps.
The woman replacing him certainly lacked his aura.
And who obligated to follow his footsteps? You chose it by yourself
What do you mean, a black diva couldn't hold the match to an actual actor?
@@thenextlevel123is there a reason you specified her race here?
@@JulianCheslow yes

It also meta explains why none of these characters can seem to stay dead. Billie just isn't as professional in her duties as OG Death.
Ancient beings ranting about how insignificant you are while they still took the time to meet you and influence you is always bit ironic.
You have to act like that, or that mortal you met will tell stories and soon hundreds of mortals will be trying to talk to you and mess with you.

The Kripke Era was phenomenal.
Perfectly cast and outstanding acting, like so many small part actors in this, and many other, series.
"God will die too, Dean" - Foreshadowing 10 seasons in advance
Oh, oh Death
Oh Death, won't you spare me over another year?
What is this that I can't see, with ice-cold hands taking hold of me?
When God is gone and the Devil takes hold
Who will have mercy on you soul?
Oh, oh Death
No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul.
Well, I am Death, none can excel
I'll open the door to Heaven or Hell
Oh, oh Death
My name is Death and the end is here...
The soundtrack to "O Brother, where art thou?" has a VERY good rendition of this.
this is medias best ever portrayal of Death, full stop.
It's brilliant
While I love this actor and his role here, I still gotta go with Pratchett and Lee.
It sounds weird but in the most recent Puss In Boots movie, they do an excellent job showing death
Season 4 of Castlevania also has an exceptional adaptation of Death
He is one of the best actors in the show. They should have never gotten rid of this version of Death.
I don't love Supernatural, and I think most agree it went downhill fast by the end. But sometimes, they would absolutely nail it. This is one of those times.
Supernatural jumped the shark after they had Dean KILL Death, with his own scythe!! That was so stupid.
The actor who plays death is amazing. What amazing acting
Death's a foodie... classic touch.
He eats junk food. You know, the stuff that kills you.
He consumes everything.
Death only likes the trashiest food because he wants to understand the fascination humans have for eating stuff that will kill them sooner.
The only thing I could think of is that he eats a pizza with a knife and fork 😅
That's how deep dish is eaten@@JustZeke99
Just started binging on Blu-ray. Such an awesome show
If a bacterium had the ability to 'get snarky' with me, I seriously think that would be something worth taking note of.
The worst part was that he made Dean eat pizza with i knife and fork🤣
That's more like a pot pie than the pizza you're thinking of.
With chicago deep dish a knife and fork is practically required.

We don't even have a word for the number of lives Death claimed to become one with him.
Insane that they threw away a character this incredible in such a nonchalant way.
He has to be the inspiration for Lord Beerus. Not good. Not evil. Just a being doing his job and makes judgments based on the quality of food. 😂😂
Death using a fork and knife to eat a slice of pizza is so... unsettling
One of my favorite scenes!!
I never thought death would order deep dish pizza
they could have done so much more with this. like making a leash around Chuck.
Fun fact: Julian Andrew’s had played death twice. Once here in the show and once again in Percy Jackson as the boatman.
Death is not your enemy. Death is your friend and will guide you
back when Supernatural have great characters and writtings
Dean got there with not a drop of water on his head
The best character in the whole show. The end of supernatural being good was the death of death. It was going downhill for a minute but death’s death was truly the end.
Chicago saved simply because Death liked the Deep Dish Pizza.
Deep dish pizza: as powerful as Dean when Sam is in danger.
So death kills all the other diners in the background for no reason? That’s cold.
I love that death is a foodie,because as foodie who is a personal trainer
I’d love to hang out with death
“You know I’ll get you one day,you can get as a fast as you want.”
I’d be like yea ,but that’s not today and according to the rules,you can’t kill me before my time so eat this jollof rice and tell me what you think🤷🏿♂️
If he's so insignificant, why is he having lunch with him 😂
Because even Death has to respect the cast members above him on the call sheet.

Never watched this show, so no idea why im getting recommended this clip.
But if the entire show is like this one scene, i might just start.
First five are, after that it's a little meh.
First five seasons for certain. 1st is a bit erratic. But start picking up in season 2. Really gets good in season 3 to 5
@@ChiTown915 Are there something like 15 seasons?
@wildste yes. First five have the original shoe runner/creator involved. After season 5 it's not as consistent
After Season 5 it becomes the CW’s Wacky Adventures of Sam and Dean.
HD version of deaths intro please!
Nice alliteration
thanks, I tried!
If Death says join them for pizza you join
You know im contemplating how dean and deaths relationship would be if death was a woman lol. I think that would have been fascinating. Knowing dean it would be hilarious
He looks like a baby!!!!
I feel like the show went a bit downhill after they off'd death. He was the perfect actor for that role.
4:18 death is alot of things but hes an idiot here: chicago doesnt make pizza, they make lasagna
God is everything, everything dies
I wonder what pizza toppings Death prefers? 🤔
I wonder if he is the original death Or just another reaper that got promoted.
Original
Eating pizza 🍕 with a knife and fork is plain weird
If this scene went on any longer they would have kissed. I will not be elaborating at this time
Pls tho?
Giggity
Not criticizing the show but what is it about death thats so scary to dean? Why isnt he afraid of amara? Lucifer? Death didnt even act on dean violently. Never even touched him
Who’s going to reap death
Fantasy….
Best character as death when they kathleen kennedy'd it and put a chick in it and made it lame
More like suppernatural
This show went to hell after they killed Death.
im old , im powerful, I'll rip God but a "spoiled brat" has me down by a spell. do script writers read their own material??
Man, making god a real character was the stupidest shit
The last good season
Cant be a coincidence that the dude looks like Goebbels, right?
This is peak cosmic horror
You think death had a favorite he reaped? Like some despot or deity that he found challenging or loved in some time before time?
Pizza with a knife and fork? Really?
can death kill himself?
